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 G90 uiilliomiof iniliii i i jm'. 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.

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.
