THE DEADLY PIANO.
An Emphatic Protest Addressed to Parents
and Instructors.

=
and Instructors.
Prof. Waetzoldt, Director OF the
ROYAL Elizabeth School, in Berlin, has
lately entertained a mnch-needed pro-
test against the way in which young
girls who are not known to possess any
musical ability are forced by their
parents and preceptors to spend con-
secutive hours practicing at the piano,
to their own great physical detriment
and the torture OF persons who are
obliged to hear them. In Prot Waet-
zoldts opinion, no girl should ever DC
set TO work at the piano-forie before
she has reached her twelfth year. and
it is to that instrument lnIudlciously
| used in childhood that much OF the
| weakness and nervousness OF women IN
| after years may be attributed More
over, the Professor very senslbly says
that the piano should never be studied
except by perfectly healthy girls who
| show marked adaptablllty Tor the in-
strument. After years OF labor with an
Instrument for which she Is not spe-
aiaUy fitted. not one girl in ten is found
able to give pleasure to the listener.
The most that she will have succeeded
in acquiring is certain automatic skill
(which not only bears no relation to
artistic execution, but is even destfue-
tive of the capacity for genuine musical
exnrassion" He adds the obvious re-
mark that lit is neither necessary nor
| desirable that we should have medic
, ere or bad pianists but it is necessary
that our girls should remain fresh aud
8 healthy in body and mind.
DR.. oliver Wendell Holmes says that
many tragedy which might have been
: worked out in actual life has been haln-
a mered out on the keys of a piano-forte.
= and likely enough there is Il good deal
of Dr. Holmes sound sense and shrewd-
: ness shown in this observation. But IL
:. is also true that pianos themselves
6 have been the causes OF tragedies tna'
ought never to have been acted any
V where. Besides this, girls are per-
Il mitted. and often obliged, to throw
< AWAY an enormous amount OF valuable
q time in drumming out music that

l. doued variety of human nature. ana IN

TRAPPING ELEPHANTS.
An African Sport Not Without an
Element OF Danger.
But the Profits More Than Counterbalance
the Perils How . Blood Thirsty
Enemy Was Converted Into
Devoted Servant.

Four days march inland from
EQuiloa, which is on the east coast OF
Africa and two hundred and fifty
fmiles above Madagascar, we came
lato the elephant country and made a
permanent camp. My orders from
the Hamburg house were to secure at
least five elephants alive and deliver
them on board ship at Quiloa Our
party consisted OF three white men
and forty-two natives, and We had
seven horses and six teams of bull
Hooks. Among the natives were sever
oil fellows who had hunted the big
game with white men, and who were
pretty thoroughly posted as to the
creatures habits. 1t would have been
almost as easy to shoot an elephant as
buffalo, but to capture one alive and
get him down to the coast was differ
emit matter.
We had our camp ia a thick grove
about two miles from forest through
which we knew elephants ranged. and
orders were given against fl ing guns
or moving about more than was
necessary. An elephant will take the
alarm as quick as a deer. and when
once ightened he may not cool down
for hours After a couple OF days
four or five OF us made scout to the
forest, and we were delighted to find
evidence that 1t was favorite resort
Ibis forest was strip about nine
miles long and two miles wide. thrust
ing itself down into great plain like
tongue. About opposite our camp
1t narrowed to a width of half mile,
and further down cut short off, though
there were groves scattered all over
the plain
4 We were rejoiced to find that this
strip OF forest was a veritable highway
Tor the elephants passing back and

days getting the lay of the forest fol-
'everal miles, and we finally selected
Aparticular spot to work on. 1t wa

sentinel for the remainder Of the day

Que Can Now Send Manuscripts or Pictures
by Electricity.
The fac-simile telegraph. by which
manuscript, maps or pictures may be
transmitted. is species OF the auto
matte methods already described. in
which the receiver is actuated SYM
enormously with its transmitter. By
Lenoir's method a picture or map is
outlined with insulating ink upon the
cylindrical surface OF rotating drum,
which revolves under a point having a
slow movement along the axis OF the
cylinder, and thus the conducting
point goes over the cylindrical sur
face in a spiral path. The electric
circuit will be broken by every ink
mark on the cylinder which is in this
path and thereby corresponding marks
are made in a spi al line by an ink
marker upon drum at the receiving
end. To produce these outlines it is
only necessary that the two drums be
rotated in unison. This system is OF
little utility, there being no apparent
demand for fac-simile transmission,
particularly at SO great an expense O.
| speed. for 1t will be seen that instead
of making a character of the alphabe
by a few separate pulses. as is done b,
Morse. the number must be great,
increased. Many dots become neces
sary TO show the outlines of the more
COMPLEX characters. The pantele
graph is an interesting type of thu
facsimile method. In this form tn
