Strange Things About Light and
Heat.

There are some things connect
with the phenomena of light and
heat to which the attention of the
reader may never have been di-
rected. Light may exist without
heat, appears in the case Of phos-
phoric substances, which are self
luminous. Heat may also exist
without light, but only up TO Il Ger
tain limit all substances becom-
ing luminous when heated MS high
977 degrees. Fahreneit Gases
require a much higher degree of
heat before they become incande-
scent
No explanation has been found

What 1t Is To BE Musical,

Schumann says in answer to the
above question that person is not
musical if, with eyes fixed anx-
iously upon the notes, he plays the
piece through painfully to the end.
Futher, that one is not musical IL,
when some one in turning his mu-
sic turns two pages at once, and
the player sticks and cannot 60 on.
On the other hand that person is
musical who, in playing a new
piece, anticipates, to a certain
degree, what is coming, and with
old pieces, knows them by heart
In short, if one has music in his
head and heart as well as in his
finger ends, he is musical
The terms musical admits of
wide application, but the ideas ex-
pressed by Schumann are certainly
correct. A certain amount of tech
nical execution and musical knowl-
edge can be acquired by unmusl-
cal persons. There are thousands
of piano pupils pounding away at
the instrument year after year with
no more love for music, either as
an art or pastime, than the editor
has for cod-liver oil. 1t is owing to-
this fact that while teachers do
their best with the material placed
at their disposal so many poor play
ers are let loose upon an already
over-burdened and afflicted human
ity. Fashion leads it's votaries to-
all manners of privations and hard
ships, the most agonizingof which
is the drudgery of music practice,
because il is fashionable to play
n little"
Information regarding music
does not make one musical. A
man may know all there is to be
known concerning the history,
signs, and nomenclature of music
from A TO lizard, and yet be as
unmusicat as Shakespeare ideal
traitor He would at his best be
buta walking dictionary Of. musical
terms and signs. Again a person
may be musical and know nothing
about the science or notation of
music. He that is moved by the
concord OF sweet sounds" has the
soul of music in him though he
may not be able TO tell a quarter
note from double. bar. Happy is
he who has both the science and
the soul. For him is the supreme
joy, the delight unexplainablel He

The Battle Of the Wilderness.

To THE EDITOR: There is quite an error In
the account of Geo. w. Toms relating to the
battle Of the Wilderness. From his account it
might readily be inferred that the 9Th n. Y.
was the only cavalry regiment there but in JUS
tice TO the Second Brigade, First Division OF the
Cavalry oSrps i wish 10 state that this brigade,
and. think. all Of the old First Division, was
engaged on the 9TH Of May At Todd's Tavern, in
the Wilderness, in one Of the most desperate
fights Of that terrible campaign, and again on
May was heavily engaged in the same vicinity,
in both instances fairly holding their own
against vastly superior numbers until relieved
by infantry. Comrade Toms will see that this
was four days after the first gun was fired Mt
the Wilderness. He will also see by reading
his history little closer that Gen. Sheridan
was not dispatched on the raid 10 Richmond
until May .. The LIST N. Y. Dragons was
thar" and also on the raid TO Richmond
