LONDON, Nov. 12 Experiments numbering over 300, conducted over a term of three years, have formed the subject matter for a communication from a physician to a well-known medi cal Journal, to tho effect that the raya emitted by the human body differ In color nccordlng to the charucter and temperament of the person. The fol lowing particulars are given by the writer: "The rays emanating from a very passionate man have a deep red hue; one whose keynote in life is to be good and do good throws, off pink rays. Tho ambitious man emits orange rays; the deep thinker deep blue; the lover of art and refined surroundings yellow; an anxious, depressed person, gray. "One who leads a low, debased life throws off muddy brown rays; a devo tional, good-meaning person, light blue; a progresalve-mindcd one, light green, and a physically or mentally III one dark green."
