What Wo Know of Color.
All that we know of color, its causes
and effects, is in connection with the
wave’ theory of light. Color depends
, upon tiie number of light waves reflected
any object impinging upon tho
of the eye. in red there are about
40,000 leaves to tho inch, and these will
etri'.e (lie eye at tiie rate of 447 millions
of millions of pulsations j>er second. In
there are 57,000 waves to the inch

tier Siglit second. The other colors have wave
intermediate between these two.
Color does not, therefore, exist either in
tho object or in the brain or the mind of
the observer. It ia an effect. Therocan
bo no appearance cf a lire on a desert
island where there is no eye within see¬
ing ih-tance. The chemical process call
ed combustion goes on, but there is no
appearance of the flame save when its
waves, strike upon the retina of an eye.

An exceedingly Interesting chapter in
modern mission annals is the progress
which the gospel cause is making in
predominantly Roman Catholic ,, .. coun
tries. V\ ah the assistance of some data
recently puhli iiod by a careful German
, jtilU , ;ll eion. it ia possible to give a bird's
e y U view of what is beipg accomplished
in this arduous work. In historic inter
, Hl the WnJ lon.uans, that Protestant
church from the pro-Reformation era,
stand in the front. * In addition to the 15

I They have a college with 7 professors
and 75 students in addition to a number
ol schoo.s of a lower grade: their penod

to church purposes are about 100,000
/ran • i annually. The Free church (Ghi
esa l-ibera Indiana) number 87 congre
gations. 85 stations, 30 churches, 10
evangeb '3 and 1.B00 communicants,
, Its (clicwl at Home has a faculty of four
. men, but oxdy a dozen or more students.
| Those two are the native proposed Italian
Evangelical churches. The
union lx tween them was frustrated by
of the Waidcnsmns
to gi*,o up t f ■ sr tustoric name, and
adopt the projx.acd one, “Evangelical
Church of Italy.” In addition to these,
foreign Christians have been doing Gos
j>el work in Italy also. The Free Chris
tfan church, or the Plymouth Brethren,

about 50 other places; the Presbyterians
, iav0 53 congregations and stations, 34
pastors, 12 evangelists, 1,400 and more
jonjjuunirants; the’lethodist Episcopal
somruumon ijaa 15 congregations, < sta

the English Baptists have Ocongregations,
13 pastors, 850 members; the American
Baptists, 10 congregations, 12 stations, 13
pastor., and 250 members. All these con
gregations maintain well attended Chris
tian schools. Tho Bible societies main
tain 51 colporteurs. Tho grand total for
Italy is 170 Evangelical congregations,
U 1 stations, 8,000 members. It is ealeu

adopted by the itoman Catholic
authorities to counteract these influences
are noteworthy. Ail attendants at Prot
estant worship are put under the ban.

heirm “the most Catholic citv on the
globe,” and to contain 30,000 priests and

lion composed of Roman Catholic mer
chants systematically outbids Protestants
in buying or renting places for public
worship. Tlius a building rented some
time ago by the Baptists was bought up
by the archbi. hop for 25,000 francs and
tho contract thus annulled.
SPAIN.
In Spain tho twenty work of evangelization
began only years ago. Now,
about 100 Protestant missionaries are at
work, and sixty or seventy congrega¬
tions have been organized, with a mem
borahip of 12.000. It is estimated that
09,000 Spaniards each year attend these
services. In all thirty-two churches and
chapels have been erected—six in Madrid,
three in Seville, two in Barcelona. Since
1892 there lias boon a Protestant gym
nasiuiu or college in Madrid, with an
average' attendance of about two dozeu.
One of its graduates is now studying
theology in Germany, to return for gos¬
pel work in his native land. The Prot¬
estants have also an orphans’ home,
with fifty inmates, a hospital and a
book concern. The !x>st known of the
Protestant workers in Spain, Fritz
Fliodner, tho sou of tiie reviver of the
deaconesses’ cause, is working on a now
translation of the Bible into Sjianish.
Pastor Fliodner is laboring under the
direction of a German society, and has
at his side rejiresentatives of the Presby¬
terian Church of Ireland and tho Es¬
tablished Church of England. There are
also a number of independent churches.
The majority of the Protestant churches
in IS ) united as “The Evangelical
Church of Spain.” In the last sixteen
tears 200,000 copies of the Bible, 100,000
of the New Testament and more than
a million copies of tho four gospels have
been distributed over Spain. The work
is carried on also among tho many
S[laniards of Algiers, with Oran as tiie
headquarters.

a long grade until I reckoned I had gone
at least three miles. Then I hailed a man

eight and nine miles from town, and my
hands from pumping tiie handcar were
blistered fearfully, if it hadn't been for
the old farmer's positive statement that

awful sore, but I pumped away, and
at last I rolled up to tho depot. There
was a great crowd of young fellows
there, and when I picked up the big

platform everybody gave me a great
