Muaical Registration.

The savants of the sorbonne have be-
 gun to make use of little machine
 which ought to cause musical critics to
 tremble for the future of their profes- sion. The musician, like the criminal,
 has a psychology of his own, and M. | Binet, the director of the Sorbonne lab oratory, evidently means to get to the | bottom of it. He proceeds upon the | principal that the execution must be-
 tray the psychology of the executant,
 but the human critics description of a | pianist's playing, as impassioned, sen suous, or lymphatic, is much too rough-and-ready for him. Besides, no two critics are ever in perfect agree
 ment regarding the subtler details in the interpretation of piece. M Binet
 has, therefore, adapted piece of me-
 chantsm, invented by M. Lund, which
 registers visibly and with unerring cer-
 tainty the manner in which piece has
 been played. On a piece of paper we are given truthful record of the en- tire performance, the duration of the notes, the rapidity of attack, the varia- tions in touch, legato, staccato crescen- do. dininuendo-in short, everything indicative of the degree of musical exe- cution and expression that has been at tained. Even a Conservatoire exami- ner could find no fault with the preci- sion of the machines musical judg- ment.
 The apparatus which is to replace the musical critic is described as being sim plicity itself. It Is an adaptation of the phonograph. It can easily be applied to any piano. A gutta percha tube Is placed beneath the keys, and it's ex- tremties are in communication with the registering cylinder To this is at- tached an linked stylus, which makes it's impressions upon a band of paper drawn along at a regular rate by clock work, Each key struck inscrbes its mark, and it is enough to glance at the register to ascertain with what force, speed, etc., the fingers have done their work If one hand has been lazy, the tale is told and all the false notes are faithfully set down. When the piece Is finished, the performer has at hand an exact record of what he has done, and is in a position to compare his render ing with that of other artists or with previous performances of his own. The ear, in fact, is beaten It's impressions are fugitive and subject to error, and are not to be compared with the yer diet of the infallible automatic critic. We may now look forward to the day when 1t will be as indispensable in civ ilized life as the thermometer, With 1t in the drawing-room, insincere flattery of the budding virtuoso will be impossi-

REGENT IMPLICATIONS.

"A souiless Singer" by Mary Gather inc Lee, author of 'In the Cheering Up Business" A very bright, well-written story of girl With a remarkable voice, which, however, fails to satisfy because it lacks the emotional quality. Varied trials and experiences develop this quality and the young singer learns the language of the soul and sings irresist- ably, with warmth and fervor and ten der pathos. Houghton, Mifflin & Co.,, Boston, For sale by E. P. Judd
 "'Lisbeth Wilson. A Daughter of New Hampshire Hills" by Eliza Nelson Blair. The story deals with homely home-uke scenes and real New Hamp- shire people of a generation agone, and their habits manners, opinions and con- troversies are shown as in verbal mir TOT. The trials of the lovers depend upon a difference of religious opinion the stern Calvinism of the father op- posed with almost incredible obstlnacy to the heterodoXy, so esteemed, of the young Methodist lover. It is the wri- ter's first book, and one upon which she may be congratulated. Lee & Shepard, Boston. For sale by D. P. Judd

THE BKCYCLE.

The report is that the bicycle factories cannot keep up with the demand for their goods. If this is true the diff culty will be but temporary and all who want wheel and can pay for one will be able to get one.
 It is interesting to consider some of the effects which the general preva- fence of the bicycle is causing and will cause. It will decrease the earn ings of the street railroads and have some effect on the earnings of the other railroads. It will seriously affect the livery stable business. When a man

EH1D6EI 4ND I'll E APPI4N WAH Brother Chldsey is now paying a part of the penalty which is always paid by the man who lets the community in which he lives and moves know that he can see Q joke. Tn time past Brother Chidsey has seen some good jokes and helped others to see some, and now at the most serious time in his life, and when he would be taken most seriously
 he is smiled at when he announces that he is a candidate for Superintendent of Streets. Why? He has not promised more than off1ce-seekers are in the habit of promising, and if his candidacy is successful he will do as much as any
 body who gets the place will do in pro- portion to his promises. And what Is there incongruous about the Appian way idea of his? If New Haven doesn't need an Appian way what city does? It takes perception to see joke, and it takes perception to see what a city needs. Brother Chidsey has shown it, and if this University city can't con- slider the Appian way and be wise, why can't it? The Register clamors for Matthews and Reform. We are for Chidsey and the Appian way

 jacket. That looks very pretty when
 the wearer stands still, but not so pret- ty when the wind catches the loose jacket and makes one look like a bat flying for life, to say nothing of the difficulty of riding against all that can vas. Whatever covers the legs from the knee down must not be too stiff to allow action of the ankle, nor must it imply high heel shoes for prettiness. Whatever the cap 1t must be light, must go on easily and look as well over the eyes as pushed back. It must sup ply the eyes protection when necessary and yet must not offer an overhanging bang, as does the tam-o' -shanter, to be blown np straight by the wind.

UNCONVENTIONAL IND YoTD

| The decision of the United States Su
 preme court made yesterday settles tht
 income tax question so that it will stay settled. The decision made six weeks ago, which was rendered without full
 bench, was that part of the law, that which affected the incomes of corpora
 tions, and those derived from rents, was
 unconstitutional. On the constitutions
 ality of the law as a whole the justices
 were then equally divided, 4 to 4-Judge
 Jackson of Tennessee being absent
 Yesterday the decision was from the full
 bench. It stood five against the consti- nationality of the whole enactment, to
 four for its constitutionality This was
 the vote: Against the Law-Fuller,
 Field, Gray, Brewer, Shiras. For the
 Law-Harlan, Brown, Jackson, White.
 The court was not divided on party
 lines, and the decision will command
 the respect which such an important
 decision should command.
 There will be no question hereafter in this country concerning the meaning of
 the phrase "direct taxes" The court said yesterday: we adhere to the opin- ion, already announced, that taxes on real estate being indisputably direct taxes, taxes on the rents or income of real estate are equally direct taxes. We are of the opinion that taxes on per sonal property or on the income of per sonal property are likewise direct taxes. The tax imposed by sections 27 to 37, inclusive, of the act of 1894, so far as it falls on the income of real estate and on personal property, being direct tax within the meaning of the constitution, and therefore unconstitutional and void, because not apportioned according to representation, all those sections, con stituting one entire scheme of taxation, are necessarily invalid" Sections 27 to s7 of the tariff act of 1894, referred to in the conclusions of the court, are all that section of the act relating to the income tax, so that the entire tax law is de- clared void specifically.
 So comes to naught a great Demo- cratic maneuver, made to mitigate some of the evils caused by other great Dem ocratic maneuvers. The income tax was described by Grover Cleveland as just and easily borne." It has not been easily borne, and the Supreme court says it is not just It was at tractive to some because it was intend- ed to plunder the rich for the benefit of the poor and to tax the North for the benefit of the South. But it is uncon- stitutional and void, and the treasury deficit must be made up in some other way. Those who have paid the tax will of course, get their money back, and those who have not will come comfort ably out of an unpleasant situation. | Grover Cleveland and those who helped | aim make the odious law will remain | very uncomfortable in a very unpleas- ant situation.

 The lady's tailor who plans bicycle costumes Is apt to give too much att tention to their appearance, to the neg lect of practical requirements.

Thirty-four of the Fall River cotton mills distribute dividends averaging IT per cent. on their capital for the second quarter of 1895. This compares with an average division of 1.5 per cent in 1884, 2.S in 1893, Is in 1892 and IS in 1S91-a comparison quite favorable for this year. Several of the mills are planning to build additions, and one or two new mills are projected Some 15O,OOO spin dies will be added altogether, according to the present estimates.

An interesting problem in law and equity is that presented by the case of a Brooklyn man who, convicted of a burglary he did not commit, and "par- doned" after he had served nearly two years in Sing Sing has just sued the State for $101, ,S38,29 damages. Of this amount, $75,000 is claimed for injury to reputation and mental and physical suffering while in prison; the rest is his computation of the amount, with fn- terest, of what he paid to lawyers and of what he lost by the destruction of two business enterprises in which he was engaged when arrested, and which have now passed into other hands, leav- ing him penniless. Roberts is certainly an injured man. Proofs of his inno- cence have come late, but are admitted to be sufficient, and there is no reason Ito doubt that the man was the victim of judicial mistake. for which some body is, or ought to be, responsible. There are, on the other hand, no in- timations that Roberts was not con- victed and sentenced by due process of law. He seems to have been the vic- tim of misfortune rather than of wrong

A recent meeting of the Christian So- cialist association of Vienna affords some clue to the objects of that organ ization. It was held to protest against the establishment of large warehouse recently opened in the capital by for eign merchant. The president charged England with being the source of the teachings from which the present dan ger to the trading classes of Austria Hungary namely, the principle of absolute industrial liberty and the doctrine of the struggle for existence. Such principles, he said, were opposed ito Christianity, which commanded men to love their neighbors and regulate in dustry. Those principles were ruinous to the people, as was proved by the enormous pauper population of England
