The DIFFERENCE between Robin
STEMS AND Won BCLowS PIANOS
While BuloW was on his concert tour thrOu IN
titrmaBy and Austria. IL happened that
Rubenstein and he met At V ienuR. ID play
Ing in concerts. Rubiustein as welt as Buioy
used BonZendorfer'S pianos, which proved @
re splendid instruments. But when Ruloy
Rubinstein's, he chose different piano.
Prof Schmidt OF Vienna felt Curious u Learn
the reason for this change, and examined
The touch of each instrument, how deep the
keys san aud how much weight was need
ed To sink them 10 the lowest point. Zoe
piano Rubinstein played required an aver
age weight OF - grammes Zone gramme be-
ing equal 10 i5k grains); Bulow's piano re-
quired an average weight OF los grammes.
Therefore the KEYS of the Rubenstein psA 40
were easier to put In action than those on
Bulows piano, but, Oh the other hand, the
Keys sank fully 25 per cent deeper than Ba-
required nearly the same physical strength.
Why. then, did not Bulow use the same in
strument as Rubenstein? Simple because
his hand is small and the keys sank too deep.
A pianist who plays on deep sinking keys
must have long fingers. Prof Schmidt count
ed the number of notes which Rabiasfein
played i'm one of his concerts; there were
81, $50 notes which demanded a pressure OF
9SSh pounds in weight when played Oh Ru-
beLstein's piano. The same number OF note
equaled pressure OF 1l90G pounds when
numbers are very respectable ones. and snow
what an immense physical strength such au
artist-virtuoso has to employ, besides the
mental power which is required To play all
the programs from memory. -LetteT IA the

BOYS PUNISHED BY CONFINEMENT IN

the schoolship Mercury. Capt. Gregory in
charge OF the vessel, testified tnat be receiy-
Ell boys as young as eleven aEd occasionally
as oid as twenty. Boys were sometimes put
In the stocks for an hour at a time. He hal
seen them kept IN three hours by his pre-
decessor in command. The stocks consisted
of four holes ia a board. The boys hands
were fastened in the centre holes, and feet in
those furthest apart, holding the prisoner IN
very cramped and painful position. The
school room was visited, aud therein four
boys under medical treatment were swing
Ing in hammocks. The doctor did not feel
sure what their complaint was, but he hal
recently sent three others boys, similarly az
fected, TO hospital, where IL was found they
suffered from varioloid, The committee
went right out of that room. John {. john
son, the instructor, thought the process GO
ing on among the boys was more "toning
down than of building up" because a soon
as boy became efficient some one took him
away. On Harris Island the commitCee
learned from Warden Dunphy that there
was only one Waterman to guard the prison.
