EFFECT OF THE "TRAUMEREI."
An Extrayagant Word of Praise for SchI.
aRann's Composition.

An Extravagant Word of Praise for Schr-
aRann's Composition.
If there is any one thing that has
lifted the taste of the American public
to it's present standard it is 'Traumerei."
Astounding statement! Yet true. In
the first place, the public ear had hardly.
been attuned to the great things, for it
had never heard them. The popular mll-
sic was frothy, and it might even be said
that, with the exception of New York
and Boston, the American cities were
without music. Then, the grand or
Thomas, with his forty-two men from
Central Park garden, went ON tour
through the provinces the band was
hailed everywhere with delight And it's
programmes never held anything SO pop
ular as Schumann's ''Traumerei."
Old readers. and some less old, need
not to be told how the orchestra used to
play this piece. 1t was set to strings en-
tirely, with possibly some use of the
wind in the little romance that was III
terpolated effectively between the first
playing of the theme and the coda. and
the end, hushing down in the softest
diminuendo, to faint dream of note,
The laborious brass band. the cracking
piano, the fiddle as a solo instrument
these were familiar. but here was some
thing new. Never before had Americans
heard the string orchestra employed
alone. Never had they known what a
crescendo and diminuendo might be-
The truth of tonality, the vocal smooth
hess, the perfect mechanical control of
the instruments, the unison in lingering
and bowling, even, were things that they
talked about long after the concert, and
when a return engagement was an
nounced there were always letters to the
conductor or the managers asking that
the 'Traumerei'' be played.
OF course, since then, we have learned
that the same technic can be applied to
other things, and that other orchestras
have strings as well as that of Mr..
Thomas. We have learned, moreover,
that the range of a composer like Schu-
mann was not expressed in this one
dainty little piece, any more than the
genius Of poet is illustrated com oletely
in sonnet or a quatrain. The literature
of music has widened to us greatly in
the twenty-five years since Mr.. Thomas
began to play the ''Traumerei'' along

XIII. But because we appreciate Beet

SPEED OF VEHICLES.
Suggestions for Determining How Fast
they Go.

1hcy Go.
A correspondent sends to the Wash
ington Star the following: A simple
way to estimate the approximate speed
in miles per hour of rapid transit car
or bicycle or other vehicle is the fol
lowing-make observations at street
crossing: Divide the number of feet in
the width of the street by the number of
seconds required in crossing it, and you
will get the rate of speed in feet per sec
ond; then, from the table given below,
-,ou can ascertain the speed in miles per
hour
Column A gives the number of feet
per second and column B gives the COR
responding number of miles per hour to
the nearest hundredth part of a mile.
Example: Suppose a car crosses a
street sixty feet wide in three seconds.
then it is travelling at the rate of twenty
feet per second, which will be seen by
the total is at the rate of 1868 miles per
hour (thirteen and sixty-three hun
dredths of a mile).
The basis of the table is this: A vehi-
Gle travelling at the rate of one foot per
second is moving at the rate of Il little
more than the sixty-eight one-hundredth
of a mile per hour. So by multiplying
the sixty-eight one-hundredth of a mile
by the number of feet per second will
give the speed per hour in miles.
