The FaIsstto Voice.

Mr.. E. Davidson Palmer, Mus. BAG.
Oxon., calls the attention Of scientific
men to an apparently unknown fact in
connection with voice production. This
fact has to do with the so called "falset-
to" voice. The general opinion about
this kind of voice is that it is something
altogether unnatural, and that it ought
scientific theories, however, it is one Of
two or more registers, and is supposed 10
be intended by nature TO be used only at
the upper extremity of the vocal com
pass. But it is quite possible to produce
this kind of voice at much lower pitch
TAT least an octave lower than that at
which singers are ever taught to use It.
Produced in this way, it may be 80
weak and feeble as to be practically use-
less. Still it is possible 50 to produce 1t,
as men and singers well know. What
they do not know and what scientific
men appear to be totally unaware of, Is
that it may be developed at this low
pitch, and not only developed, but com
pletely transformed When thus trans
formed it loses entirely its unnatural and
effieminate character. and becomes a
strong, manly voice, which Is easily mis-
taken for what is commonly called chest
voice." but which, unlike that kind Of
voice, is capable of bearing throughout
its whole compass any strain that may
be put upon it.-English Mechanic.

All Americans are cogniZant Of Scan
lan's sad story-of how he struggled des-
perately against the lapses of failing
brain and tried to hold the place he had
won upon the stag Of how he fought
the creeping demon decay, and while
yet in physical prime succuinbed to a
mysterious and incurable malady; but
few probably have noted the fact that
De Maupassant's case resembles that Of
the stricken actor in many respects.
Like Seaman he practically had his life
before him; Ike Seaman he enjoyed
the passing hour" and like Scanlan he
has written fms to his career. Yet it is
only ten years ago that the critics prophe-
sled for both the highest triumphs at
tainable in the callings to which they
had devoted themselves.
Henri Rene Albert Guy de Maupas-
SAINT was born in 1850 and on attaining
manhood surveyed the field of human
endeavor and decided to become an
author. He went to Flaubert, and Sc
cured that masters literary patronage.
Under this skillful direction he served
an arduous apprenticeship of seven
years. During that time he studied
books, human nature and the construc-
ton of ingenious plots. Not until 1880
was he allowed to offer any of his pro-
auctions to the publishers or the pub
lie. Then, at the age of thirty, he made
his first attempt to win popular favor
as a novelist, and it proved successful.
Not long afterward he took rank in the
same class with such men as lola, Dau-
det and Bourget. Paris wanted to know
him, and he wanted to know Paris. He
was fine looking fellow, with brown,
wavy hair, magnificent eyes, splendid
physique, the bearing Of a soldier, and
charms Of manner and conversation that
won the hearts of women. Welcomed
alike by society and Bohemia, he event

There, too, was Voltaire, the literary
meteor of century, a coward and a
hero, dissembler and doubter, man
who fawned at the feet of kings and de-
fed the Deity and his wrath, miser-
able groveler and lofty genius, who left
larger stamp upon his age than all the
captains and monarchs who went a-feld
to slay; and Byron, maddened to all
sorts of excuses because he had vanity
and club foot; and the elder Bulwer,
known to the public as playwright and
novelist, and to his wife as a person of
the most extraordinary moods.
America, too, has furnished its quota
of gifted minds that have crossed IN
hidden the mysterious border line of
sanity and taken on the fantastic extrav-
agance of i'll directed genius. All the
world has mourned for Edgar Allan
Poe, commiserated his unhappy life and
regretted his early and shameful death;
has reveled in his romances and won
dered at his mastery of verse. Old New
Workers in particular will remember
kindred genius of less wide repute, Nc
Donald Clarke, known as the 1.-The mad
poet" His life was gentle and his daily
promenade Of Broadway was one of the
attractions to that famous thoroughfare.
He devoted his pen to praising the bellies
of the town. His oddities were all
amiable; he had no vices, always pre-
served a gentility of department and
was a regular attendant at Grace
church"
Yet, like Poe, he was picked up in the
street one night destitute and demented
A policeman put him in cell; he turned
on the water from faucet and was
found drowned at daylight. Then his
fellow citizens gave him a magnificent
funeral. He lies in Greenwood beneath

ing long and sleepless days to fashion
or pleasure. The strain proved too
great. A while ago he ceased to be a
"thrice jolly fellow" as his friends
called him. He grew morose, then lost
his reason, and recently attempted sui
eide with revolver and razor. Now,
at the age of forty-one, he is classed as a
dangerous lunatic and can never more
know sanity or freedom.
Ambition to excel and excessive study,
eliminating in temporary arrangement,
are the probable plantations of Law
renee Irving's ras, ct. He is a son Of
Henry Irving. and ped by intense APP
phcation and unremtting endeavor to
rival his fathers great fame. But, fail
ing to win popular approval at the start,
he became discouraged. and the other
night was found lying in his room at q
Belfast hotel shot through the body.
Youth and good constitution are in
his favor and he may live TO regain his
mental balance and to resume his hon
orable struggle for name and place on
the stage.
Some day, when science and surgery
have charted. mapped and classified the
human brain with accuracy. we may
learn why civilization and lunacy go
hand in hand. Among savages the mad
man is rare. and his affection is regarded
as an endowment of supernatural power.
His rawlings are received as prophecies
and his violence as the visible vengeance
of an offended deity. But with educa-
ton, apparent comfort and material
progress, the malady. under various
guises, spreads and grows formidable.
That is fact established by the oldest
of written records. Those who from
the calm pinnacle of observation wit
messed and chronicled the doings of the
''earth shakers, set them down as
doomed by the gods" and thought
their assertions proved when Alexander
the Great met untimely death. when

to secure the desired positions they en-
ployed the same methods as did the male
politicians They had their stated head

that it has excited no special comment.
