POPULAR SCIENCE.

Some experiments have been tried
BY DR.. Noel Patton, at Edinburgh. DR..
Patton has made a very thorough in.
vestigation into the life history of the
salmon, the nature of the pigments
which color the flesh, and the changes
in its condition during migration. BE
concludes that when the salmon enters
the river it ceases to feed, and relies
on its own muscular tissue; but it is a
curious fact, however, that salmon
rises to the fly, which would tend to
initiate against this view.
A writer in the Medical Age says
that typhoid fever patients should not
be filed up with milk, which is ad-
ministered as liquid food; for, while it
seems to have the form Of liquid, yet,
as a food, it is not liquid, but solid.
The article states that bread and but

from milk. It is also a fine culture

how rapidly bacteria r propagated

bigh-pitched voices were caused by the
endeavors of people to make themselves
heard in noisy cities. In order to make
ones voice heard above the din and hub
bub of noisy city it was necessary to use
ones top notes. This forced high pitch of
the voice is soon initiated unconsciously
and an unpleasant voice is acquired.
An enforced domicile among people
speaking with a nasal twang soon leads
one to acquire the habit. An Englishman
visiting this country in the space of a few
weeks acquires a high-pitched voice A
Turopean trip taken by an American win
often have the effect of causing his voice
N change from a high-pitched to a low,
n,tched tone, and the change will be per-
manent so long as he refrans from mix
Ing with people who speak in a pro-
nounced nasal twang. Unconscious imi-
tativeness spreads from city to village and
some of the most pronounced nasal voices
are heard in country villages.
Dr John w. FarloW of Boston ascribed
"a Enumeration a great number of bizarre
sounds that have crept into the spoken
language. Cultural sounds were intro
duced by the Germans and D-tch while
a number OF nasal sounds were brought
into use by French Canadians. The re-
suit was that the American had grown
careless as to the best way of using his
voice and had kind of mongrel speech.
People fall into the conversational habits
of the community in which they live and
make no effort to better faulty methods.
The best way of getting out of the habit
of speaking in high-pitched voice. T.
was said, is TO study tone formation. Only
one person knows how 20 sing, while 100
know how to talk, and until efforts are
more widely made TO teach the proper
modulat ton Of the voice the American will
always possess a nasal twang and its in
variable accompaniment, a nasal or laryn-
geal catarrh. The habit can be cured.

the continent. and as the climate varies
almost to extremes throughout the countrv
it was scarcely fair to ascribe to II oil the
changes that take place in the larvnx
and vocal cords ana which produces the
unpleasant twang.
DR.. Shedson Ma6uen of PHILADELPHIA told
the association that he attributed the high
tension in the voice to the high tension If
American life When a person is excited
or hurried the voice always becomes hieh
pitched and it does not take long before
the habit is formed and the voice assumes
a nasal twang.
To show that II was not question Of
race that would account for the twanp
OF the American voice. like the cultural
voice of the Dutch or the peculiar TYNE Of
nasal voice Of the French, il was pointed
out that our English cousins had voices
of an asreeably low pitch. ComparativeIv
few Engishmen suffer from nasal catarrh
or affections of the larynx. while Il Is the
exception to find an American who is nm
affected by some similar affection. II
might very well be the case that the nasal
twang is the caused of the larynx being
affected instead of what is generally he
ieved-the nasal twang being caused by
the nasal catarrh.
