INFLUENCE OF MUSIC.
Effects of Different Harmonies on I'll
Human Heart and Respiration.

Effects of Different Harmouies on the
Human Heart and Respiration.
NM. Binet and j. Courtier give in
the Revue Seientifique an account,
translated Tor the London Lancet, OF
experiments made by themselves and
others on human beings and animals
OF the effects of music on the heart and
respiration. M. Patrizi, an Italian
Psychologist, had a patient with a
wound in the skull which laid bare
the brain. He was thus enabled to OBJ
serve the actual effect of music on the
cerebral circulation. Music occasioned
an increase in the size of the brain
itself. The effect on the cerebral cir
culation was variable, the vessels be-
ing sometimes CONSTRUCTED and some
times dilated. At other times no effect
was produced. NM. Binet and Cour-
tier experimental on a musician. Iso-
lated notes, chords in unison and dis
cords were first tried. Both major
chords struck in lively manner and
discords quickened the respiration, the
latter more especially. Minor chords
tended to retard respiration. When
melodies were tried 1t was found that
all, whether grave or gay, produced
quickened respiration and increased
action of the heart. The lively tunes
produced the greatest acceleration. The
subject also sometimes unconsciously
endeavored to synchronize his respira-
tions with those of the singer In raj
lentando and diminuendo passages the
respiration was retarded. Where the
sound was wholly uncomplicated by
emotional ideas, as in single notes Oh
chords, the hearts action was acceler-
ated, but not in SO marked a degree as
when a melody either grave or gay was
played. During operate pieces or those
well known to the subject the accele-
ration attained it's maximum. The
subject had strongly marked capillary
pulse. The influence of music on the
capillary circulation was tested by a
plethysmograph attached to the right
hand. The capillary tracing usually
showed dimiDution Of pulsation. This
dirninution was occasioned by the
sound of single notes, chords or dis.
cords. In sad melodies, especially
minor ones, there was almost no di.
intuition, while in lively airs the ID.
minutiOn was marked.

A man can lose his old Adam in

experience goes and as the moral of
this story tends TO prove, can never
quite get rid of the original Eve.

people At Brewer the crowd was espac-
tally large. In Bangor the anxiety and
excitement amounted almost TO wildness.
Marshal Saunders related the thrilling
adventures of Mr.. john Mason, of Ban

and reached 1t down TO his wife, who
seized 1t. Others seized hold Of her, and
she was In imminont peril of losing the
safety which her husbands efforts put in
her way. BUM. Mason descen ded the
ropo into the water and sustained her
