Typewritten Music,

From the Fort Worth Gazette.
While great Improvements have been
made in the last few years In shorthand
systems, and language can now be trans
ferred to paper with the rapidity of speech
the writing of music is still an occupation
OF exasperating tediousness. A musical
shorthand has often been suggested, and 1t
is said that certain musicians have devised
Tor themselves such a system, which has
served their purpose fairly well. But any
attempt to bring the speed of musical nota-
tion within even appreciable distance of the
rate OF musical production, either instru-
mental or vocal, has always been looked
upon as impossible
1t Is difficult to imagine how it can ever
De otherWlse, but none the less are those
inventors who seek to increase the facility
or transferring to paper musical IDEAS
either fresh from the brain of the composer
or from the rendition of the artist, worthy
OF commentator and gratitude.
An attempt in this direction has inst been
made In the construction of a machine for
typewriting music. The machine looks like
an ordinary typewriting machine, after
which it is modelled. the frame, KEY. levers.
type bars and carriage being retained.
Various notifications are made so as tn
adapt the instrument to the change of no.
tation, the carriage being shifted endwise
only for the different lines, octayes or
notes. and the paper is fed forward with
each stroke OF the type. The machine Is
intended either to be used with paper AL
ready ruled or to write it's own stan by re-.
peating fve-lined character.

Hypnotic Effect Of Music.

From the New York Times.
The experiments by the Guild Of ST. Co
celia in London, to test the hypnotic effect
of soft music, are still being carried for
ward. Recently lullabies were played TO q
ward of fourteen patients and 10 one of the
physicians of the hospital In spite of dis
tracing noises insep3rable from the ward
of a London hospital the following results
were got: The physician kept awake with
difficulty, four patients were actually sent
to sleep and some liked IL too well to sleep
and others felt sad but charmed.
That musical sounds produce a marked
effect on the system is proved. says Cham
bers' Journal, by physiological experiments
on men and animals. The rate of the ac-
ton of the heart and the force Of the circa-
lation are notably Influenced in a direction
depending on the pitch intensity and tim
bre" of the sound. Generally speaking, the
hearts action is quicl1ened and the pressure
of the blood in the arteries increased, though
sometimes the converse effect is produced,
those results depending. no doubt, on the
idiosyncrasy of the individual. Powerful
results are produced on the nervous system.
sometimes stimulant. sometimes sedauve.
Music is thus clearly seen to be potent in
medicine. and there seems TO be no reason
why its effects should not be studied Lko
that Of any drug.

Matrimonial Trade Report.

From London Truth.
During the past week the matrimonial
trade has been fairly active, but widows
have sold slowly and unsatisfactory. Eng
lish heiresses keep very dear. Peerages are
a little cheaper in the best sorts. and eldest
sons are not SO expensive as hitherto. Some
fat stockholders have fetched good prices
during the week. Younger sons and soldiers
going at low prices. Americans are
very cheap, and company promoters mex
pensive.
There is little change to record in the det-
rimental market. There has been a good
supply, but a moderate demand. Ministerial
private secretaries, government clerks and
Solonels on half pay are all tending to lower
prices. Curates are still dear. Musicians
are fairly cheap, as are amateur gentlemen
and elderly young men. Spring captains
adventurers bankrupts and paupers are all
plentiful, and country cousins are cheaper
than usual, owing to the deprecia ton in
land. Transatlantic heiresses are now quite
cheap. There have been good supplies from
the continent. German millionaires are
coming in now that the English are going
out.
