BROKE THE RECORD.
The Blonde BRAKEMAN Told Coed
Story Whom lie TriCd.

The Railroad club met Tuesday
evening in the usual place and after a
short business session the boys drifted
into shop" conversation, says the Mis-
soula SilVerite. Several stories of re-
markable time made on different oc-
casions were related and when the
blonde brakeman got the floor he saw
he was expected to break the record.
And he did.
Speaking of fast runs" said he,
why that little Montana Union line
lays over everything l ever saw. No
Dutch clocks or anything else to hold a
man down there. / worked for that
road when Bob Smith was dispatcher
'em we all knew what it meant. One
day we were going north and were de-
layed in various ways until we reached
Stewart. Bob wired the con. at that
point that he wanted our train to get
over to Garrison as quick as God would
let us. We had a clear track when
we started and 1t wasn't long before
the telegraph poles looked like picket
fence. The biggest burst of speed was
reserved for the homestretch-from
Deer Lodge to Garrison, eleven miles,
We didn't stop at Deer Lodge but as we
approached that place the engineer
sounded the whistle as usual-and you
may take my head for football If the
Slow sign in the Garrison yards wasn't
passed by our train before that whistle
had ceased to sound"

OF an inch one-two- hundred -and-for-
tieth. Every good singer who can sing
two octaves can tighten his vocal
membrane by the twelve-hundredth OF
an inch and the nicely in singing is
the skill with which the singer can do
that.
II was said in the last century by a
great authority in music that a certain
cantatrlce could not only emit 24O
sounds, but she could emit 1,200. Any
one of these great singers. taking an
aria beginning with one of these low
notes and running right up for over
two octaves--very nearly three octaves
is sounding not only the three oc-
taves, but every note of the three oc-
taves and sounding ten intervals be-
tween the three octaves, thus contract
ing her little vocal membranes by so
slight a variation as the two-thou-
sandth part of an inch. The effort is
so slight you cannot see the muscles of
her throat vary.
why cannot you sing a--e-i--o with
out changing your larnyx from the
shape of emitting "u?" When you say
''u" the shape of your mouth is so
adapted that it resounds to that one
sound; but If you change the shape of
your mouth slightly you get the first
overtone, and have the vowel "o;'
change the shape of your mouth again,
and you get the vowel "a" again, "e;"
again, "i"-in other words the vowels
are each a successive octave over and
above the fundamental note.
The fundamental note of the larnyX
is always the same in the oronuncia-
ton of the vowel, but changing the
shapes of the mouth causes it to re-
sound with these particular overtones.
| Further, when the sound, a--e-i-o-u
| passes up and out through the throat
and nose, then we have those sounds
modified so as to give rise to the vari-
| Gus sounds, n, !, p, etc. AS they go
| through the nose, they are known as
nasal. When the back of the throat is
cut off by the palate and the voice as
| cends through the nose, we get the
| head tones. On the other hand, with
| other conditions, we get the falsetto.

THE HUMAN VOICE.

The practical application of the fore
going to the voice lies in the fact that
the voice is some kind of a musical in
strument. What kind?
The voice is greatly modified by the
character of the throat and the nose
showing that resonance must play a
part in influencing the character of the
sound. In considering what kind of an
instrument the larynN is one must con-
slider in the first place what can it do?
An ordinary male bass voice sings Ga
vibrations, and can sing 256 per second;
but about there it stops. He may go a
little higher, and sometimes a little
lower. The tenor voice begins a little
higher up and exceeds the bass in range
by a few notes Some tenors can take
high C. The range of the female con-
tralto includes some of the notes of
both tenor and bass. The soprano sings
l,02f vibrations.
The average feminine voice can. talk
faster than the ordinary male voice.
The larnyx, if split down through the
middle, shows the part involved in
singing to be a thin, elastic edge which,
thrown into vibration, causes the sound
we hear. The air is forced up from the
lungs and through the windpipe; and
as that air passes over that edge it
throws il into vibrations. 1t is that
little to-and-fro motion of our vocal
membranes that causes the air to pass
out in that way.
Air never makes any sound when
there is a steady blast.
Breathing is one thing, and the voice
is another. You can breathe without
giving rise to any voice; but there is
no voice without breathing.
The larnyx Is constructed of elastic
| tissue, susceptible of stretching and
shortening, and is really not a vocal
cord, but a vocal membrane. The
| larnyX is a pipe with a membrane, and
a resonating cavity surrounding 1t.
Why is not the larnyx comparable to
a wind instrument, as an organ?' IAN
organ pipe of a given length will emit
| GA vibrations a second The lowest
male voice makes a note of GA vlbra-
tions a second. If the human larnyx Is
anything like an organ pipe then the
| larnyX of that particular specimen
would have TO be as long as that organ
pipe. The larnyx has lungs like the
bellows; II has a trachea; but the or.
gan pipes do not produce sounds by two
| membranes.
When am organ pipe sounds, the rea.
Son is that the air enters the chamber
! and is cut into series of puffs. A con.

NO USE.

"A Washington correspondent gives the
Post this story of a German publisher in
ST. Louis: There had been a big fire di-
rectly opposite the Office of his paper the
night before. A magnificent building was
destroyed, with all its contents. The
streets In the vicinity were filed with
people, who so checked the thoroughfares
as to almost prevent the fremen work.
mig 1t was the eevnt OF the season, in
news sense, and the papers were natu-
rally filled with articles telling the whole
story. The publisher OF the paper in
question, on reaching his Office the next
morning, looked oevr the papers of his
contemporaries first and then, lighting n
fresh cigar, tilted back in his chair, took
up his own paper to read what he felt sure
would be the best report of ALL To his
amazement there was not line concern
ing the fire in his paper. When he sufTi-
cientiy realized the fact that no mention
had been made of the contiagration he
dashed upstairs to his city editor, and
bursting into the door exclaimed: Why in
didn't we haev a story of the tire?'
The city editor, who was German with
out a great deal of experience in this
country, looked up calmly and replied:
Vat vas re uze of brintin anything about
IT? Everybody in town vas dere to see

tlnuous draft of air makes no impress
sion upon the ear, but that air as ~
passes up through the pipe must be d.
ided into separate pulsations.
The larnyX has nothing like that. 1t
produces the sound through the vibra-
tion of membranes. 1t therefore Is not
an organ.
The French theory years ago was
that the larnyx acted as If it was a
stringed instrument, and therefore they
called this vocal membrane a cord.
There is no such thing as a vocal cord
of the larnyx, 1t is a membrane.
In ;he lowest bass violin of the or
chestra the Il string gives about 43 VI
brations i'm a second, and there are
some bass voices can sing ,as low as
that. but If that edge in the larnyX
were working like a string, the larnyX
would have to be about four feet long,
Ohe length of the string). Therefore
the larnyx cannot be stringed instru-
mCnt.
What kind Of an instrument is 1t? 1t
is q elimination of pipe with MEM

struments of that sort. The ordinary
