SOME NEW BOOKS.
To Assist the Capacity for Music--The
"Complete Bachelor"

We recall the answer of a musical critic 10
an observation OF his companion at sym
phony, that she shouldn't think he would get
much enjoyment out of a concert where he
had 10 keep critical account of IL AZ IL went
along" He said in effect: The more you un-
derstand of music, the more you are capable of
analyzing it, and the more intelligence you
are able 10 bring to bear upon its rendering.
the more you are bound 10 enjoy Ii. The
mere pleasure it affords TO the ear is nothing
10 the delight that music can afford when IL
appeals 10 your mental powers"
We are reminded OF this by little book just
issued by Charles Scribner's Sons, entitled
"How to Listen TO Music. The title indicates
the purpose OF the book exactly, 10 so instruct
and guide the reader that he or she may de-
volop power for enjoying music OF whatever
character as, il is safe TO say, few of the
thousands upon thousands OF persons who
love music do enjoy il. MIR. Henry Edward
Krehbiel is the author, and what he has writ
ten is not only most acceptable work to us
savages who know little Of music except that
10 tickles the ear (and perhaps even take unto
ourselves pride in our ignorance), but IL Is n
distinct contribution 10 musical literature.
The instruction afforded j. elementary with
ont seeming 20 be 80. The author evidently
recognizes that great many persons who
know good deal about music do not always
know surely all that they believe they know,
while 10 the average man or woman who re-
ligiously attends, and no doubt gets pleasure
fromchamber concerts, orat orios, symphonies
and operas will be grateful for a little in
struction IL pleasantly offered in way that
does not scof at him because of his ignorance
or presume that he il lacking in intelligence
because he really fails TO know how best to
listen TO music. The whole design of the book
Is helpfulness TO the music lover, which pro-
verbally includes rocks and savages, to develop
taste and appreciation, TO enlarge the capacity
for enjoyment OF music in the thousand
who are not musicians and who because they
have no talent" for music, have their pleas.
ure limited in way that not all of them NAV
have recognized, but which most of them in
stinctively feel, we guess and that some such
book as this will demonstrate 20 them. Az
ter ALL to most of us music must be an ac-
quired taste, like olives and oyster cocktails.
But when we see many other persons derive
so rare an enjoyment from it we can but be
hungry to be come possessed of like ca apacity.
And with remarkable success this book sup
plies the need and tickles the appetite that we
long TO have, just as we long to have the
power to share with our fellow beings any
other pleasure that may be far removed from
US 10y reason of a lack of capacity for anything
like a full indulgence. A reading and study
of this attractive little book cannot fail to
make music more enjoyable TO most Of us and
50 increase for us the blessings of living.

The Wheels Gear.

The gear Is one Of the most important
things to be looked after in the wheels
running qualities. Each person must
decide for herself how high or how low
it should be for her comfort. The word
refers always to the diameter Of the
rear wheel-that is. a so gear means
that the machine is arranged to have
the rear wheel revolve as though il were
90 inches in diameter. This is accom-
plished by means of the G., ain turning
over large sprocket in the front and q
small one i'll the rear. The varying pro-
portions Of the numbers of teeth ON the
two sprockets produce the variations in
gear. For 2S inch wheels, which are
now almost universally used, the gear
so will be obtained if there are 10 teeth
ON the front and ON the reig sprock-
ct. Thirteen and and 10 and will
also approximate 60. / mention 60
because that, or about 69. is the favorite
gear. Formerly women's wheels were
never geared higher than SO, unless by
special order. The higher the gear the
fewer revolutions of the pedals are need
ed, but of course propOrtionately more
strength must be put into each push. In
going at considerable speed the motion
is more graceful where the gear is rather
high. Climbing hills is pretty stiff work
with a high gear, and it is always best
not to go to either one extreme or the
other.
To find the gear of a bicycle when
you do not know it multiply the diam
eter of the rear wheel by the number
Of teeth ON the front sprocket, and di-
vide the result by the number of teeth
ON the rear sprocket. Detroit Free

1t is known that the flavor of butter
and of different kinds of cheese is due
to various bacterial ferments, and there
is good reason to suppose that better
product and greater uniformity would
be attained by the use of pure cultures of
the species upon which special favors
depend l understand that in this coun-
try quite a number of dairies are now
using pure cultures of certain bacillus
bacillus Al of Comm for giving flavor
to their product. 1T is probable that
similar methods will soon be introduced
in the cheesemaking industry. A recent
English publication, which l have not
yet seen, is entitled Bread, Bakehouses
and Bacteria. 1t will no doubt be
found to contain information Of prac-
tical value TO those engaged in bread
making
Agricultural chemists predict that IN
the near future cultures of the nitrify-
ing bacteria of the soil will be made on
4 large scale for the use of farmers, who
will add them to manures for the pur-
pose of fixing the ammonia, or perhaps
will distribute them directly upon the
soil Should this prove to be a success
full and economic procedure, the extent
of the interests involved will make it
a practical result of the first impor-
tance. Another application of our recent
ly acquired knowledge which has al
ready proved useful to farmers in GER
tain parts of Europe relates to the de-
structiOn of field mice by distributing
in the grainields bread moistened with
a culture of bacillus which causes a
fatal infectious disease among these lit
tie animals. Popular Science Monthly
