A Perfect Voice.

A remarkable theory is propounded by
Mr.. A. A. Pattou, New York, in a treatise
entitled "The Voice as an Instrument" !"
published bv Edward Schuberth & Co.,
No. % Union Square. 1t is a theory that
has been tested by practice during score
of years in teaching prominent vocalists
Scarcely more than its briefest outlines can
be stated here. 1t proceeds on the belief
that the basis of singing should be thrown
principally on the strong muscles which
apply at the base of the lungs so-called
"throat singing IS wholly avoided. The
muscles of the larnyx and of the upper part
of the throat are trained respectively
merely to take the simplest position posi-
tions for the full delivery of the required
sounds; their duty ends there. The labors
of the singer are thus SO relieved that a
fortnlght's steady service in opera singing
should bring no more fatigue than that of
any other pleasant, healthful exercise.
Mr.. Patton does not admit that the voice
is naturally defective as an instrument, and
that it is composed of different registers.
By proper cultivation he finds that uni
form development can be given to the
voice, and readiness, CULTURAL tones, thin
ness, nasal quality, and other defects may
be rooted out. Meanwhile his pupils are
cured of incipient throat diseases, and as
he is himself an instance of recovery from
com Dlaiuts of the sort On sor;ous 40 m hova

Change in the Earth's Axis.

The general opinion Of physicists as to
the probability of change in the position
of the earth's axis has recently undergone
modification. Different mathematiclans
who have of late gone into the question
as, for instance, the Rev. J. F. Twisden,
Mr.. George Darwin, Professor Hanghton,
the Rev. e. Hill and Sir William Themp-
son--all agree in the theoretical possibility
of change in the geographical position of
the earth's axis of rotation being effected
by a redistribution of matter on the sur
face, but they do not appear to be all in
accord as to the extent of such changes.
Mr.. Twisden, for instance, arrives at the
conclusion that the elevation of a belt 90
degrees in width would displace the axis
by ten miles only, while Professor Haugh-
ton maintains that the elevation of two
such continents as Europe and Asia would
displace it abont SO miles, and Sir William
Thompson has not only admitted, but as
serted as highly probable, that that the
poles may have in ancient times been FAR
from theirpresent geographical position. and
may have gradually shifted through 10, 90,
80, 40, or more degrees, without at any
time any perceptible disturbance Of either
land or water In recent paper, however,
Professor Haughton has maintained that
the north pole has not sensibly changed its
position during geological periods.
