THE NEGRO VOICE.
IL Is Not Adapted to the Singing of Whit.
Mans Music

IL Is Not Adapted TO the sing OF w hit@
Mans Music.
Owing to personal idiosyncrasies the
vocal apparatus of the negro differs
from that of the white man. The arch
of the roof Of the mouth, the nasal
sounding board of the colored man, has
another conformation. II true col
ored man were to paint his face like q
white mans and sing an English, Ital-
ian or German aria it is his voice which
would at once give him away, says an
exchange. The initiative faculty is,
however. very strong in the negro so
he canno. help himself IN following the
white mans music and the white mans
words. The true, pure African song is
probably the ''Juba."
II is hardly a song. but a chant,
Astounding in spoken words. As to
rhythm, the native negro, or the one
born in the United States, has that 70
a marked degree. II now and then
there has been an occasional negro
vocalist of merit since their period Of
freedom, why has there not been an in
strumentalist? The reason Is plain. To
have a fine voice is an accident Of
nature. To play an instrument well,
so as TO gain reputation as violinist
or pianist, means, in addition to natural
talent, 10 devote TO the violin or piano
many years of study. The race instinct
in the negro does not incline toward
persistency Of purpose. Wit. rhythm
alone. as Wallaschek shows, primitive
music began.

Japo1nania? For the most delightful
Sunday afternoon of my stay in Lon
don, am to him indebted.
England and the English evince an
even deeper interest in Japan and her
recent doing than does America The
LondonYpapers print less detailed news
of the war, but they print more com
inent ID its possible results and take the
whole thing more seriously than we do.
Apart OF that can be attributed TO the
fact that England is willing to take al
most anything seriously, from the
prince of Wales to an American joke;
but part of it is also due to the fact
that it is nation of experts on for
eign affairs.

it is not ours. Our state de-
partment changes with every political
reversal. With the coming of each
new president, a new secretary and
new force have to learn and unlearn all
the things which their predecessors
learned and unlearned only forty-eight

service changes its methods and its per-

itself by guns and forts against an in
vasion of the influenza epidemic.
''Let your cotton growers look to
their positions. Even England's Indian

facturers are in greater danger. The
capacity of the japanese and the Chi
nese for incredible detail in their work

ability and capacity can be obtained
there for an average of eight cents
day against from one dollar and half
upward IN America and four shillings
upward in England. it is not hard to see
that there is reason in what 1 say. 1

very hot with Manchester. our great

Alter the knight had made these i'm
portant predictions-and it is right to
say that nearly the entire English
press and most of the important Eng
fish statesmen agree with him-he
went into an analysis of the Japanese,
their religion, their customs, their
women, their morals, their manners,

should be stated that, because of Sir
Edwin Arnolds statement that what
we consider immortality does not exist
in Japan, although in almost every
Japanese city portion of the town is
given over to the occupation of what
we would cab abandoned women, he
has been intensely criticised Of late.
He explained to me clearly what he
