Famous Spot in History.

The most important public square in
Paris, and one of the handsomcst in
the whole world, is the Pace de Ia
Concorde. In the center rises the ODE
lisk Of Luxor. presented by the pasha
of Egypt to Louis Philippe. 1t is flank
ed on either side by large fountain.
The Place de la Corcorde seems some
wlx:t wrongly called. in view of the
history of the spot. One hundred and
fifty years ago it was an open field.
But in l1iS the city accepted the gra-
cious permission of Louis XIV. to erect
a statue to him here. The place then
took his name and retained it till the
new regime. in 1850, melted down the
statute and converted it into 2-cent
pieces. On the 3Oth of May, 1910, dur

Electricity and Music,

An electrical attachment for pianos
has recently been patented. 4 current
Is made to flow through the strings OF
the instrument, n powerful magnet be-
ing the most essential part Of the con-
tr1vance. When key is struck. the
corresponding string vibrates in the us
ual manner; but it continues to vbrate
and to produce the note until the key Is
released. Incidentally. owing to the
electrical action, the harmonics are
brought cut in q wonderful way. 1t Is
suggested that much might be done for
acoustic effect by stringing wires over
the ceiling and walls of concert halls
and theaters. If properly arranged,
they would respond sympathetically to
the sounds Of human voices Or of mu-
steal instruments. The singers notes
would actually play upon a gigantic
Aeolian harp. and wonderful harmonic
results might be brought out This
idea. so far as known. has never been
tried. There is no telling how far tpe
harmonics might be helped by causing
an electric current to flow through the
wires, rs in the case Of the piano.
