Colors to the Blind. "Havo you any conception of color?" a friend asked a blind man. "What idea havo you when you hoar colors mentioned?" "A person blind from birth ns I havo been can havo no posslblo proper conception con-ception of color," was tho reply. "To mo color is sound, or rather, music. When I hear tho word rod, for ex-umple, ex-umple, I Instantly think of a high piercing noto of music; bluo Is to mc a delicately sounded noto fairly high and pleasing In tono; green Is a soft tono nnd rnthor low, quiet and restful; rest-ful; whllo yellow Is lively, quick llttls notes rapidly sounding nnd causing pleasuro, almost to laughter. Black, alas! Is tho only color wo can realize, for wo aro told that that la tho absenco of all light, nnd wo know only too well what that means."
