whisper, and will purify the tones of the
voice before they have reached the ears of the

arranged in octaves, in which every infec-
ton of the human voire will pass through
corresponding wave ard be heard free from
impurities. One that has stood In a canyon
and has listened to the echoes Of his own voice
may have marked he mellow returned the
syllable from therocl1s md the trees, and how
clarified each tone that before had sounded
harsh and dissonaut.
