appIeciablc sound waves are about one.
third OF an inch, the number Of vibrations
being about Al, 600 per second.
The whole scale Of tones, whether musical
or otherwise, is embraced between these
limits for the ear Of the average person, al
though the human ear can be educated to
detect lower and higher tones, lust as
astronomers by continued practice educate
the eye to see stars invisible to the average
human eye.
II Is very essential that we understand
the difference between musical tones and
noises or dlscord, and that we bring our
minds to realize that articulated speech is a
composite production of both kinds Of
tone, in order that we may know how the
speaking telephone adapts itself to the
peculiar eccentricities Of speech In contra
distinction to music which was transmitted
electrically by the well-knowr musical tel
ephone of Refs, as early as 1861.
Music is made up of fundamental tones,
and hence also their harmonics which nee.
essarily accompany them. These funda-
mental tones are combined with each other
in such relation that there is never any jar
or discord produced upon the ear. To
make this combination Of tones, which
shall soothe the nervous system, for II does
nothing less, IL is necessary to unite such
tones In chords and in such a succession OF
sounds as shall harmonic. This is done
by uniting the tones which are produced by
such strings or reeds Of the instrument, or
OF the voice in singing, as vibrate either In
unison or in multiples OF unison with each
other. By dividing the musical scale into
thirds and ilfths and making proper com
binations Of notes, we produce agreeable
sensations upon the ear, the various por-
lions CT which respond in exact unison to
the sounds emitted. II these sounds are
harmonious they reach the ear I'm exact Sc
qucnce or with recurring regularity. II
they are not harmonious or discorlnnt they
CRATE upon its nervous system, aud produce
disagrecahlc sensation because of the ir-
regular order in which they arrive at the
ear.
Music Is all harmony and soothes the
nervous system because the nervous pOr-
tiOns Of the auditory system respond to the
united harmony, while discord is all repel-
liant because II finds no set Of nerve nbres in
the auditory system to respond to its jar
ring harsh vibrations.
Human speech is musical or dlscordant,
as above mentioned, in exact proportion to
the prepUnderanco Of smooth liquid or
vowel sounds, as also to the rounded or
complete manner In which speech is uttered.
Some persons possess remarkable musical
voices so that every word they utter Is
pleasing to the ear, and II soothes the nerves
to hear them talk. This, however, is a
matter of individuality due, In large
measure, to our likes and dislikes by reason
OF the adaptation of the.ear of the listener
to the voice OF the speaker. Music Is but
the poetry Of sound, while speech when
clearly and fairly articulated Is the blank
verse or prose as we choose to make II. IL
Is, after all, matter of degree, largely de-
pendent upon our likes and dislikes, coupled
with that wonderful piece Of mechanism
the human nervous system.

With all this product there has been no
excess; on the contrary, the result of facili-
tating means of exchange by cheapening
transportation has been to advance con-
stantly the price Of wines and to encourage
increased plantations by all countries. The
demands for the supply OF nations not
favored with climates suitable to viticulture
have caused deficiencies for home markets
that tempted the production of spurious
articles which in all advanced countries, ex-
cepting this, have heen met by stringent
regulations Of law devised in the interest OF
consumers. Owing TO a plague which has
attacked the vines Of France, great suffering
has been experienced, which the govern
ment of that country has taxed its energies
to the utmost to alleviate; the production
of wine has diminished until now nearly
2OO, 600, 600 gallons of wines are imported
there to supply the deficiencies for the home
consumption. Fortunately In America
there has been found a sovereign remedy
in our native wild vines, which are being
used by the million each year as resistant
roots on which to graft the varieties appre-
ciated there. In return for the lessons our
people have learned from France in this
industry, II is some source of pride that we
can partially pay our debts by furnishing
the means for the preservation of the vine
yards which have been models for the
world.
In viticulture there is yet no mean jeal-
ousy. In commercial relations there may
be temporary necessity for equali2ing the
differences OF cost Of production in making
exchanges through tariff provisions, but in
exchanging experiences as producers we
find the most amicable relations existing
between the people Of this country aud
those of Europe. The simple truth Is that
the world to-day demands a DEVELOPMENT
