The diniculsiss I'm the way of musical biography
are many, and the chief of them is suggested oy
Mr.. Niecks in his tth. He who treats Of the
man has trouble to please those who wish TO
study tho musician; while he who aims TO give
analysis and explanation to the artistic side OF his
subject finds too often that he has narrowed the
circle OF his readers down TO the student class.

Zines has brought 20 pass that we no longer In
tereHt ourselves in the facts Of an artistic creators

the influences that shaped his thoughts and modes

which this idea has had 10 TO be seen in Mr.. A. w.
Thaver,s book on Beethoven, nnhappily Is yet
unfinished. For those who wish to study the
operation OF the law of heredity and find long
trains Of cumulative causes for each effect
Thayer's researches have opened On inexhausnble
mine But Thayer deals with Beethoven the
man; concerning the musician be only establishes
the facts Of his activity. Had 10 been possible OF

Why . Boiled Lobster II Red.
New York Graphic.

In all crustaceans, as, indeed, in al
most everything in nature, there is a
certain per cent of iron. Upon boil
ing the lobster the iron is oxidized.
This effect is largely due also to the
percentage of muriatic acid which ex-
lists naturally in the shell. The chem
ical change which takes place here is
almost similar TO that which occurs in
the burning Of brick. In boiling a
lobster its coat ceases to be living
substance, and TO certain extent it
takes new character. 1t is as brick
would be after burning. The effect
can also be produced by the sun, but
necessarily not so rapidly, as the heat
of that iuminary. although most in
tense, is not concentrated sufficiently
TO produce the result The sun also
exercises bleaching influence, which
consumes the oxide almost as fast as
it is formed, leaving the shell white,
or nearly pure lime.
