WOMEN AS COMPOSERS.
Publishers Say Their Manuscripts Far Out
number Those by Men.

Publishers Say Their Manuscripts Far Out
number Those by Men.
Rupert Hughes contributes an article to
the March Century on women Com
posers, I" in which he says:
A prominent publisher tells me that
where, some years ago, only about one
tenth of the manuscripts submitted were
by women, now their manuscripts out
number those of the men two to one.
While this ratio will not hold in published
compositions, the rivalry Is close even
there. Women are writing all sorts OF
music. A few of them have already writ
ten in the largest forms, producing work
of excellent quality and still better PROM
Use. 1t is in the smaller forms, however,
in instrumental solos and short songs
that they have naturally found their first
success So good has their work been here
that honesty compels the admission that
hardly any living men are putting forth
music of finer quality, deeper sincerity
truer individuality and more adequate
courage than the best of the women COM
posers. Besisies these, there is number
of minor composers writing occasional
works of the purest quality, and in ars
quality is everything
As to nationality, one finds best repre-
scented the three countries that are now
working along the best lines of modern
music: Germany, of course (whose Clara
Schumann wrote much that was worthy
of serious consideration), France and
America; for America, whatever its mu-
steal past is surely winning its right to
the place In this triumvirate of modern
music. Its tendencies are toward the best
things. Italy has recently had furry of
new life and of growth away from the de-
bilitating mawkishness into which 1T had
drifted, but has not yet produced notable
woman composer. The other continental
countries seem even more torpid, and
though English women have written
much, they have not got beyond the pre-
vailing cheapness of the English school,
except perhaps in certain of the compost.

were sent forward, will remember the
emphasis laid upon the sufferings OF
those who have been overtaken by acct

"And, let alone the ordinary chances
of sickness, we need reflect but little

dangers from epidemics and fevers dur

exist, where swamps abound and where
crowds are pressing in day by day.
1.-THE work of the Victorian order is
but in its infancy and it needs all its
resources at the present time for the
work of its training homes. But the
provisional committee felt that it could
not remain deaf to call such as this
for help, and it decided that the order
must prove at once its national charac-
ter and it's worthiness of the name 1t
bears by sending contingent of Vic
torian nurses to the Yukon to work un-
der the direction of medical men there.

Of experience will therefore be ready TO
start for their arduous post by the end
of March or sooner, if we receive suffi-
cient special contributions to equip
them. The Canadian government are
affording us all possible facilities and
assistance, and the nurses will be under
the special protection of the mounted
police. 1t is estimated that the outfit,
the years provisions and the medical
appliances for each nurse will not come
to less than 81 600 for each. And then
we must guarantee their salaries, al

tients will be willing to give ample re-

sion must necessarily impose on them

The announcement of Lady Aberdeen
that the Victorian Order Of Nurses will
send a relief expedition to the Klondike
this sprins proves the live interest OF
that organization in the pressing needs
Of the time. The advance Of the gold
seekers into the inhospitable region Of
the Yukon resembles the invasion of an
army, and it is highly fitting that the
sisters of the Red Cross should go with
them.
The nurses who compose the expedi-
ton will find that theirs will be no easy
task, but the reward found in the graft
tude of the voluntary exiles whose pill
lows they will soften, will be of the
richest. Lady Aberdeen has sent the
following letter to the Canadian press !:

SAFETY IN CONSTRUCTION.
Lightning and Earthquake Dangsss -
Tall Steel Buildfngs.

Lightning ana Earsnquo1e hon8oSe -
Tall Steel Buildings.
Lightning IL not dangerous TO the steel
skeleton building. The entire skeleton.
In fact, Is lightning rod Of the most efii-
cient type 1t Is closely riveted together,
forming continuous rod. The steel COL
umns extend through the basement to
broad steel foundation below the basement
floor and are usually In damp soil. Tbs
iron water pipes In the building, too, are
connected with the iron street pipes OF the
city water supply, which form very effect
I've ground connection. The same Is true
of the gas pipes, so that In the way OF pro-
lection from lightning nothing Is left to
be desired. The Home Insurance building
In Chicago was struck by lightning on one
corner some time ago, but the only injury
was the displacement of a few bricks
where the lightning entered the cornioe to
reach the steel, through which it was tax
en- off harmlessly. There is no record of
any person having been injured by light
ming when in steel or iron frame build
ing or when on board of steel or iron
ship.
Earthquake effects on tall buildings
have always been matters of Interested
speculation. The native hut in the Malay
archipelago is the one building that Is
never injured by an earthquake. Its con-
struction closely resembles the steel skele-
ton in its general engineering principles.
Posts are set In the ground and the skele-
ton framework is all notcbed and dashed
together. The exterior Is simply cover
ing to keep out the weather. The steel
skeleton is much like birdcage, firmly
riveted together at every joint, so that the
shaking of an earthquake might shake of
some of the exterior masonry, but could
not injure the building or its Inhabitants.
In building in an earthquake country
special precautions should be taken where
by any injury, either external or internal,
could be entirely avoided, and one OF these
tall buildings would be as safe as the mid
die of ten acre lot. The extra earthquake
precautions are neither difficult nor OK
pensive. They consist in putting In addi-
tional ribs In the partitions and external
walls to which the masonry is firmly an
chored. In such building all the parti-
tions should be of concrete, with steel rods
imbedded in it.-W. l.. b. Jenney In Cas-
siers Magazine For March.
