times when the Arctic region was the
torrid zone, Is exhibited at Lyons
store on Main street in the shape of

charming little creature discovered
few years ago In a Siberian glacier,
and whose flesh was so we'll preserved
through all these thousands OF years,
that both hunters and their dogs ate OF
II, and found Il was pleasant to the
taste. The ivory in question was
brought recently by ]. l.. Weber from
Alaska, being discovered in a copper
deposit, traces Of which metal are dis
tinetly noticeable along the section OF
tusk. There are also several sawn sec
tons Of the tusk showing a most re-
markable texture and grain. The grain

the thing is to secure the most effective
and intelligent work at the ends of the

rule could be laid down as to what ar
applicant for instruction could do from
superficial observation. In his own
case, he was eighteen years old
en- applying to the conservatory Mt
Brussels, and was told that he could
not become an artist because he had
not begun younger.
However, the ardent young aspirant
would not give up. but started In any.

JONAS, THE SPANISH PIANIST.
How He Fought Against a. Business Career and Sought the
Realms Of Music nstead-Fie Talks 10 the News
On Musical America

Senior Alberto Jonas pronounced
Honas) Is a guest at the Knutsford
while in this city. and is being received
by prominent musical people with hos
pitable cordially, Senior Jonas is a
most interesting and affable gentleman
TO talk with as Notwithstanding the
fact that he Is among he foremost pi-
anlsts In the world he has none OF those
airs of affectation, or that distant or
naughty assumption that some great
artists think 1t becoming to assume.
Senior Jonas has had wide experience
in playing with orchestras, and In a
very pleasant conversation this morn
Ing at the hotel with q News re-
porter. remarked that comparing the
great orchestras Of the world together,
he was not overdrawing 1t In stating
that the Boston symphony orchesra
was the best, not even excepting the
famous Berlin orchestra At the same
time, he remarked what is not gener-
ally known In American lay circles
that one OF the best orchestras In the
world Is at Amsterdam. Senior Jonas
characterized Theodore Thomas as the
Bismarck OF orchestral music I'm Amer
lea, and his ability was everywhere
recognized. although some OF his pecu-
llaritles Of administration were not
considered as soothing and agreeable
as might be desired. In referring 10
pecularitles OF some Of Americas not
ed conductors, the pianist mentioned
. .. aa.HA A.t1 L.. II It,
itan Opera House orchestra, who In
rehearsal often contented himself with
merely playing the first and last
strains OF number holding that II
these were well done, then the rest
would be well done.
Senior Jonas gave excellent advice In
matters OF plano instruction. He
smiled az all the catch penny schemes
for mechanical helps that have for
years been advocated by faddists and
people with axes TO grind. lie called
attention to the devices loaded with
lead that are used on fingers, the ma
chine for Strengthening the wrists. the
divers and various apparatus for work
ing the fingers aside from piano work,
including the cork appliances for Wild
enlng the finger spaces and said he did
not consider them OF any real value.
The way TO learn TO play Is to play.
and these numerous outside so-ealled
helps are OF value only IN theory. In
response TO questions, Senior Jonas
said the position OF the hands should
be natural TO the performer and there
could be no Procrustean rule laid down
10 which all should conform. lie said |
the Stuttgart method Of depressing the
knuckles was not only incorrect but |
Injurious. AT the same time. there is
such a thing as elevatlng the knuckles |
too high and losing force IN the mlsdl- |
rcction Of the hands action. The con.
struction Of ones hand must be con-
