THE SOUND OF A PIANO.
Seeming Defects That May BE often
Due to Exterior Causes.

"a piano." said Il dealer, will some
times develop or seem to develop q
flaw in some one note. which co:aes to
have rattle or jingle or unpleasant
burr to it, but this jsirril'-s soiln;! Which
seems to come from tAp li;;isJ Elav in
reality come from some source quite
outside of it.
ANY given note when struck pro
duces certain number Of Vibrations to
the second. There may he in the room
some object that is in tone sympathy
with some particular note, aud that
viii be set in motion by it when that
note is sQua ed.
The oWii ef Il Gne piano sent to us
one day t. sstN shat thorc WAS some
thing wrong about certain note Of
the instrument, 81 That that aotc had
Nn unpleasant sas:al Wlleu struck.
Whea | heard the nate sounded, knew
at once that the dis:4ssreeable rough
ness or buzz about it Was due not to
any defect III the piano. Gtlt to some
thing sonewhere about in the room,
aud. asking the lady to strike that note
occasionally. | walked around the room
to see if could locat" it.
Passing across the middle of the
room rs that note was struck. the
cause of the jarrlnG accompaniment of
it was discovered to come from the Vi
bration of one of the glass globes on
the chandelier overhead
"Th4 owner of the piano was almost
incredulouS as to this. the sound had
seemed so plainly to come from the
piano itself But when at my request
she stood under the chandelier and |
struck the note she was readily con-
vinced.
II made that globe immovable and
tnen struck the note on the piano. The
answer was clear and sweet and true.
$50. you see. the sound of the piano
may for one thing depend much upon
its surroundings. and what may seem
to be defect in piano may be in re-
ality attributable to something quite
apart from the piano itself
And thus it might easily be tina,
some noble instrument that had seem
ed to lac declining or to be developing
faults owed its apparent change to
change Of environment or to some spe-
cite outside cause and was in reality
as good as ever. as would happily be
discovered whenever the instrument
was again brought under favorable
conditions. s."-Chicago luter Ocean.

Book Plates.

The question of the use of the family
coat of arms veXes the American very
seriously. Originally all book plates
were heraidic. That was in an age
when people generally could not read
and when the blazon Of each family, al
shown on wearing apparel or small be-
longings. was as we'll known and quick
~ distinguished as an autograph or
photograph toGay. In the main. it is
safe to advise Americans not to use
coat "rmor on their book plates The
uncertainty Of the actual right to arms
ard the extreme difficulty Of getting
;,ra wing that one knows is undeniably
rGrrect in every detail are strong rea-
toas against its use. Heraldry is too
exact science to admit Of liberties,
and ii is no small achievement to draw
the cCat OF arms With absolute correct
ness and yet With artistic feeling.
Though il is not very generally prac-
ticed. it is HSa! 10 copyright the book

seem to leave a door open for those who
