A BEAUTIFUL EXPERIMENT ON SOUND
The following beautiful experiment. de
scribed by Prof. Tyndall, shows how
music may be transmitted by an ordin-
airy wooden rod. In room two floors
beneath his lecture room there was a
piano upon which an artist was playing.
but the audience could not hear it. A
rod of deal, with it's lower end resting
upon the sounding board of the piano,
extending upward through the two floors,
its upper end being exposed before the
leeture-table. But still no sound was
heard. A violin was then placed upon
the end of the rod, which was thrown
into resonance by the Ascending thrills,
and instantly the music of the piano was
given out ID the lecture rooIl A guitar
and harp were substituted for the vio-
lin with the same result. The vibrations
of the piano strings were communicated
10 the sounding board, they traversed
the long rod, were reproduced by the
resonant bodies above, and the air was
carved into waves, and the whole musical
composition was delivered to the listen
ing audience.

DEATH FROM SMOKING.-Th following sad
warning is put on record by the New York
correspondent of the Buffalo Commercial
Adrertjser. The use of tobacco is bad enough
when begun in mature life, but it is infinitely
worse when the foundations of the habit are
laid in early years, as seems to have been the
case here:
A case in my own intimate acquaintance has
this very week appalled, large circle of friends
in this city. The victim was exactly of my own
years, and companion from early childhood.
For thirty years, at least, he has been a daily
smoker of the choicest cigars, but in all his
other habits temperate and regular, and of
excellent cOnStitutiOn-One who, of all men,
would have laughed at the suggestion that
tobacco was killing him
A week ago last Sunday night, he was
stricken with the progressive paralysis, charac-
teristic of nicotine, and on Sunday night he
died.
His death was most pitilul. First, sight was
lost, then speech, then motion of the neck,
then motion of the arms, and so on throughout
the body, and he lay for fortnight unable to
move or make sign, save pitifu, tongueless,
nartculate eOund, which sometimes rose to
almost frantic effort all in vain, to make known
what he wished to say to his family or friends
for his consciousness and mental faculties
were left unimpared till within two hours of
the last, to aggravate to the uttermost the
horror of his situation-a living soul in dead
body
The sense of hearing was left unimpaired so
that he was conscious OF all around him, while
incapable of communication with them as if
dead, save by slight sign of assent or dissent
to question. The doctors were fully agreed
that tobacco was the cause Of this stroke.
Smyrna times., 1873-06-11

EXPENSE OF CITY CHOIRs.-The New
York E0entitg Post publishes some facts in re-
gard to chors in that city, which the lover Of
Congregational muaic might store up as argu-
ments in favor Of their views Of praisewor-
ship. 1t says:
More money is spent in New York on
chOirs than probably in any city of the universe,
not even excepting London or Paris. The
tariff OF salaries has been greatly enhanced Of
late. A few years ago one thousand dollars
was considered a very large stipend for an
organist, while five to eight hundred dollars
easily satisfied the most eXactlng soprano.
Now, however, there are dozen or more
Organists who receive from twenty-five hur-
dred to three thousand dollars year, and the
average soprano thinks herself but poorly re-
munerated with a thousand dollars. One lady
of eminence i'll the musical profession recently
declined the offer Of five thousand dollars
salary from one Of our principle churches.
Two thousand dollars are paid in severa
instances. Tenors who last year sang for a
thousand dollars, this year demand and receive
| fifteen hundred. BaSsos and altos, of course,
share in the general rise of musical values.
Musical taste has advanced in this city of late,
so that congregations are reluctant to listen to
music which would have amply satisfied them
few years ago. They also seem to be willing
to pay for a higher class of performers and
performances, and they find their returns in
crowded pews This perhaps, is placing the
subject on a commercial rather than religious
| basis but facts are facts and cannot be over
! looked. Chorus choirs with first class solo
singers are now preferred to all others Con
gregatiOnal music is an aspiration rather than
| a realization.
