NOTES OF THE DAY

Sunday concerts in London. where only
sacred or classical music is permitted. are
growing in popularity. The aggregate at
tendance times reaches 900. AT most
of them the price of reserved seats begins
at pence or 12 cents, and the best prices
are 50 cents.
There is not single female voice in the
choir at st. Peters, in Rome. and yet the
most difficult oratorios and sacred music
written are rendered in such a manner Is
to make one think that Adelina PATHS high
soprano is leading. The choir is composed
of sixty boys.
Many people believe that all sorts OF Ill
luck will follow them if they by chance
happen to break looking glass. These su-
perstitious folks may, perhaps, be glad TO
hear that unbreakable mirrors are now
being made by putting coat Of quicksilver
al the back of very thin sheet of celluloid.
The niece of an ex-governor of Indiana is
running a saloon in Wichita. She was edu-
Gated at one of the leading colleges Of the
country and is highly accomplished mu-
siclan. She says the Kansas boom caused
her downfall. Her husband lost all his
money and died, leaving her penniless.
A fruit dealer in Sedalia, Mo-. who or
dered a car load of watermelons for day
when Bryan spoke there. as he says, to
10000 people, did not receive them until the
next day, when Senator Foraker spoke to
a few hundreds. There was not much de-
mand for watermelons on that day. and the
dealer has sued the shipping firm for losses
by the delay.
Thomas Atkins" as sobriquet, says
Household Words Is disapproyed by the
British authorities. Yet the name, it is al
leged really had an official origin. Years
ago form was sent round to regimental
offices to show how soldier who could not
write was to sign his own name, and the il
Illustrative name was "Thomas Atkins. x.
His mark" The name caught on and
eventually became the affectionate nick
name of the British soldier.

carrying out the dream Of an imitation
of music in color which has been more
or less in the air since the parallel was
first drawn between the seven prismatic
colors and the seven tones Of the diatonic
scale. The hall will be filled with elec-
trio lights, so arranged that kaleido-
scopic effects can be secured by the color
symphonist, who sits at keyboard and
improvises to match the spirit Of the
