X: 1 -v' "% MOST REMAMABLE CASE A MAN WHO STEES SOUNDS IN VARIED COLORS. Crossed Nerves tn Brain Enable ..Him to Interchange Three Sen^ses. There is a joung man of twenty- six ut Zurich, Swilzorlnnd, with 8Uch a wonderl'ui brain that the neurologists and psychologists of I'iiris are visiting Switzerland to see witli their own eyes the marvelous porformuiiops related of hinx by the noted alienist. Dr. Alfred ijlrich. who discovered liim three years ago and who has just pul)li.shed iu a t.'nris specialists' journal a full uc- cm.dt of the reniurkuble case. The young iiinn i.i a native Swiss of poor family, and that is how he fell umler tlK- ob.sorvalion of Or. Ul- rich. who is the head of the nervous hospital at Zurich. The patient came to the hospital for treatment of u slight spasmodic affection, but Dr. ['Irich soon discovered ho had hafipened on one of the most curious and amazing cases in the annals of science. It is dilUcult to make out I ho cau.ses of the strange things this young man can do, for uri exactly !??milar case was never knoWn, al- though the patient's brother, a younger man, presents many of the same phenomena. IMATIIKilATICAL PRODIGV. L'ntll the boy was 13 years old it was believed he would make a sec- ond Newton or Gauss in mathema- tics. His ability to solve the most ditlicult problems in arithmetic was such as to amaze his teachers. At f\ years of age he could quickly per- form the solution of the hara&st kind o.'' the simpler arithmetical iiroblems; and later ho developed still more wonderful facility as a mathemati- cian. At 13, however, ho fell ill with mciisles, and upon his recovery lie lost his color, his general health, and his brilliancy of mind, but new powers cnii:o to hiui which were (juite unob.scrved, at least in their iseientihc importance, until ho fell un- der the eye of the Swiss alienist. 1 it was then learned that ever since his boyhood the young man could see .color in the sound of the human voice. After his attack of the measles all kinds of sounds were translated into color after reaching his jjiuin. Ho could hear no detinito sound without at tVio same time sensing a delinito color or combina- tion of definite colors. â-  I I>r. l.'lrich discovered other strange ., things in the sensations of his pa- tient, and for three years he has 'â-  been making coiitinous tests and ex- periments, the results of which ho lias now given to the scientific world. SOUND OF THK VOWELS. Thu most intense colors the young man can see are pioduced before his i\\es wlien lie hears the sound of the vowils. When the letter "a" is soiimlfd ho perceives a brilliant grei'ii. but at the .same time he has a .sen,sati!^n as of feeling .something cold and smooth, such us gla.ss. The Bound of the Icjtter "o" produces sev- triil laryiiig colors befoio his eyes, but particularly yellow or shades of |elli)W. The letter "i " Kiyes him a sensniion of dark color, 't>" is re- presented by a bright ro4."

June 13. â€" (Special). â€" Scores of people in this neighborhood are living proofs that Dodd's Kidney fills euro all Kidney ailments from Backache to Uright's Disea.se. .'Viiiong the most lemark- ablo cures is that of Mr. Uichnrd Quirk, and he gives the story of it to the public as follows : "I sulTered for over twenty years from liUuibago and Kidney Disen.se nn<l at intervals was totally unable to Work. Aft:er ten or twelve years of doctors treatment, I had made up my mind that my complaint was in- curable. Itcuding of cures by* Dodd's Kidney Pills tempted me to try them. I did so with little faith, but to my groat surprise I had not taken more than half a box t)efore I felt relief and after the use of seven or eight boxes, I was fully cured and a new man. •â- yos, Dodd'fj Kidney Pills cured my Lumbago and Kidney Disease, and the- best of it is 1 have stayed cured."

When there's no relish to any food .:ahd nil that one eats doesn't seem to do any good, then is the time to make a turn over in the diet, for that's Nature's way of dropping a hint thatjUio food isn't the Hind ro- .qiiin-d.

The cry of a dog produces for him a sensation of yellow; when ho hears the cry of a black-bird he perceives a red color; tho raven's voice Hashed a color of green before his eyes; tho low of a cow is fol- lowed by the perception of indigo, i while the bleat of a sheep gives him an impression of yellow. SKNStCS INTKUCUANGIOAnLi;. Uemarko'ole as all this may be, tho .young Sv\iss seems to have in his brain Sf)nie strange faculty by which almost all the senses seem to bo convertilile one into another, and this faculty rendered the best and most conclusively positive results in the experiments, for it left him en- tirely in tho hands of the oxperimem- tor. In Ills brain the senses of form, color, and sound are interchangeable. In other words, he can fool the qual- ity of roundness in a sound, of squarenes.s or roundness in a color, of color in roundness or squareness. Ho not only sees a sound and hears a color, but he sees and hears tho sha|)e or form of things. For ox- ample, for him a circle produces a .sensation of red, and when he smells iodoform he can see a liright red color and i>orceive. at the .same time, a sour or bitter sour taste. When ho touches a cold object ho can seo a grmni color, and he sees a red col- or when ho touches a hot object. SKNSF.S ICRMS OF TOUCH. Dr. Ulrich brings .^ll these interest- ing facts forward as ;iroot that all tho live senses are reaily but dilTor- ant forms of one and tho same sense â€" that is, touch. The entire busi- ness, it is claimed, is done in tho brain whore the ditTerent centres con- trolling tho sensations act like a switchboard upon which no coordin- ated method is at work. So that the sense of roundness, when a round object is seen or fcdt, is car- ried to the brain and there, by mis- placed switches of the gray matter, is converted into color, sound, or even smell and taste. Dr. Ulrich calls attention to the surprising fact that one person in every ten lias this remarkable faculty in a small degree, only tho person having it is not awurc ho is excep- tional. Ho says tho.so persons nro perfectly healthy in all respects, so far as their nerves or brain tire cou- cerried, but having lieen accustomed to the.se .seiisalions from their child- hood, think they are perfectly natur- al and lionco not niuthy of particu- lar notice. for tho borrowers include nrigliouse. with a population of under 22,000, and (llnsgow. with a population of over 700.000. If the falling off in public appeals for capital by the i.ssuo of .stock hod Ijeeri accompanied b.v an improvement in tho investment market, and by a ri.'»e in the value of gilt-edged slocks, thoro would be something to bo said for the raising of more money for urgent public works of a municipal character, but that ha.s not been the ca.se. As a matter of fact the depression has bo- come greater since the late C'hancel- lor of tho Kxchoquor thought it ne- cessary to issue a warning early in Decemhor last." £ty^^^ Wifoyâ€" "Do you recollect that once, when wo had a tiff, I said yon were just a.1 inejin n» you could be?"

SHORT MUNICIPAL LOANS. Towns Accept Sums to be Repaid in Six Months. Tha London Aigus of a recent date, contains an interesting article on the dilliculties now experioncod liy municipalities in raising money. It draws attention to the extraor- dinary moasures Hint are being tak- en by over 30 of these bodies to prociiru ioaiib in sums ranging from i;.">0 to Xl.OOO from uny who will leiiil. Some of tho largest provlu- rinl cilie.s are included in tho list. The rates of interest are, in the ma- jority of cases, between .14 and 4 per cent. \arious terms of pa.v- iilent are olTered. Tho Argus saysâ€" "In most cast's I hero is tho condition of the loan beliiR repayable at six months' notice. This is an alternn- tivo condition, and does not mean that a live or .^even years' loan is re- payable at six months' notice.

West Market antJ Colborne Sts , TORONTO. THK KTI.^'Y MILLION DOLLAR WOrtLC'S FAIR ST. LOUIS. District Passenger Agent McDonald of the t;rand Trunk Hallway who recently returned from St. Louis, states that it is hard to f;nd suit- able language to describe the magni- tude and beauty of tho greatest Ex- jjosition ever held. Tho site of 1240 acres being two miles long and one mile wide. is covered wit*" hoautiful buildings, broken with lagoons, canals, grand courts, monuments, statuary, parks, etc., all forming a picture that must be seen to be realized. An Electrical railway, called the Intramural, makes it easy to get from one F'art of the grounds to another, and follow out the daily programme, enjoying an hour listen- ing to "Sousa's" or other famous bands, or taking in a lecture or ad- dress, or Art tJallery. When you consider 'ho immensity of tho buildings, one alone having over 20 acres of floor space, and re- flect that thiyy are filled with tho choicest of exhibits from all over the world, one exhibitor vying with another to obtain the co\etcd CI old IVTedal. it seonis to suggest tho thought of what a grand o;)portun- ity and an education it will be. to the young men and women of oiu: land, to spend a week or two at .St, I-ouis this year. Iteally no in- telligent man. woman or child can alTord to miss this great World's treat. Tho beautiful Electric lighting of the Pan American Kxposition. which few thought would ever be ai>proach- ed is entirely eclipsed by this Mon- ster Fair. One of the features of tho fair, is the "Inside Inn," a hotel accommo- dating I), 000, splendidly run, and ut rea.ionablo rates. Tho total exjicnses of a triji to St. IjOUis ba.sed on half railway rates, is within tho reach of nil and por- mit.s stop over at ("hicago. and other points, and the trip is made quicivly and ciuufoi'tulily.
