The subject of the treatment of music
by novelists was discussed at the Mu-

tainly after 'Trilby" it would seem as
if something ought really to be done to
instruct our leading writers in at least
the requirements of musical history
and theory. An English novelist in one
of his recent works pictures a Scottish
Highlander sitting on the roadside
singing a favorite song and accompa-
nying himself on the bagpipe, which is
a feat still happily impossible, except
in novels. In one of her stories, Ouida
describes a lady singing "Stabat Mater

ARCTIC ANIMALS.
The Large-Limbed Wolf, of Tireless
GaliOp, is Most Savage of All.

The white-skinned large-limbed wolf
is the most ravenous, untiring, and
dangerous of all Arctic animals. It's
tireless gallop, sharp teeth, snappish
bites, and powers of a concerted action
with its own kind make it possible for
this predaceous animal to live wherever
game of any considerable size is to be
found. In Grinnell Land he subsists al
most entirely on the musk oxen, who
find their only safety by travelling in
bands. When attacked they form a cir
Gle, and placing their calves and feeble
members in the center, by opposing
horns and desperate believing stand off
the encircling wolves. Woe, however,
to the struggling OK who falls in with
the wolves, for he never escapes.
In his widely read narrative Kane
most unjustly disparages the strength
and prowess of the Arctic wolf He
says: "The Eskimo dogs of Smith
Sound encounter the wolf fearlessly and
with success" There is absolutely no
foundation for this statement Kane
never saw a wolf either in Southern
Greenland or in the Smith Sound region,
for this animal is unknown in Green
land, save one drifted from the Ameri-
can coast and killed at Omenak in the
winter of 1S6S-69
In truth the Arctic wolf is relatively
the strongest, as he is in fact the most
courageous and enduring of Arctic ami
mails, and these qualities are supple
mented by unusual craft and caution.
They average some twenty pounds
greater weight than the dog, which ami
NAL views their appearance with terror,
realizing his small chance of safety in
an encounter.-Harpers Round Table.

ford in "A Roman Singer states that
La Favorita" was composed by Verdi;
also that the hero who had to make his
debut on the operate stage was pre-
pared for his task by the singing mas

in William Blacks "Kilmeny" wonders
whether Miss Lesley would only ex-
press a faint surprise at hearing Mo-

Lesley were a musical girl her surprise
would certainly not be faint. The best
way of avoiding these absurdities on
the part of novelists would be to get
some professional to edit the musical
references in their works. But after ALL
as matters stand at present, the errors
of novelistS in regard to music are
perhaps not greater than the errors of
musicians in general with regard to
other arts.
