THE FORCE OF VIBRATION.
Great Buildings Can Be Shaken b,
Playing Violin.

What force least expected does the
greatest damage to buildings2" was asked
a we'll known architect
1T is difficult to tell. But will ven
ture to say that you would never expect
violin playing to injure the walls of a
building. Yet that is certainly the case.
There have been instances when the walls
of stone and brick structures have been
| seriously impaired by the vibrations from
a violin. OF course. these cases are un-
usual, but the facts are established. The
vibrations Of violin are sometimes ter
rible in their unseen, unbound force, and
when they come In contact with regular
| ity they bear their influence upon struc-
lures OF stone. brick or iron. or course.
! it takes continuous playing for many
years TO loosen masonry or to make iron
| brittle, but that result is obtained. In
| the great Masonic temple in Chicago I
| have thought OF vha. the result might
be II a man would stand on the first
| floor, at the bottom Of tie nineteen story
light well, and play there continuously.
The result could be more easily seen
there than almost any place else, because
the vibration gathers force as 1t sweeps
upward. man car feel the vibrations OF
violin on an iron-clad ocean vessel, and
at the same time be unable. TO hear the
music. 1t is the regularity OF the vibra-
tion which means so much. Like the con-
slant dripping OF water wearing away
stone, the ineessant vibration of the vio-
lin makes its way to the walls and at
tacks their solidity."
But why doesn't this vibration affect
the pIayer?"
Because a man is a flexible object. He
can give way to motion and resume his
place again. A frame building would not
be damaged by vibration. because the tim
bers are flexible. But II is different with
masonry. 80
You may have noticed that dog

building no matter how small the dog. A
dog can shake suspension bridge. There
are some great and valuable bridges
which dogs are never allowed to cross.
except when carried. You see, in that
case 1t is the regularity of the vibration
that is so powerful. The dogs movement
is fixed and positive institution. The
first step on the bridge is not noticed so
much, but every step comes just alike, at
the same interval, and with the same
frmness. The force gathers momentum.
and each step makes the bridge sway
more. But there is another way that 1t
may perhaps be illustrated better. As

Captain Driver was successful deep

the name odd Glory" on the Stars and
/ stripes he was preparing to shape the
briggs course to the Southern Pacific. The
story is told by the compiler of the
genealogical memoir Of the Driver family.
Harriet Ruth (Waters) Cooke
Just before the brig left Salem a Young
man at the head of party Of friends
saluted Captain Driver on the deck of
the Doggett, and presented him with n
large and beautifully made American flag.
1t was done up in stops, and when sent
aioit ana broke out to the air Captain
Driver christened it "Old Glory"
He took 1t to the South Pacific. and
years after. when old age forced him to
relinquish the sea, he treasured the flag
as an old friend.
Capt. William Driver removed to Nash
Vile, Tenn. in 1897, and he died there in
1856. Previous to the outbreak of hos
tilifies between the North and the South
odd Glory was flung to the breeze every
DAY from the window Of Captain Drivers
Nashville house, but when the bullets be-
gan to zip and the odor of gunpowder to
taint the air the old flag had to be Sc
creted.
Il was kept out Of sight inside a great
bed comfortably until February 27. 1862,
when Brigadier General Nelson's wing Of
the Union army appeared in Nashville.
when Captain Driver presented 1t to the
general. to be hoisted on the Capitol. 1t
was run up. and Captain Driver himself
did the hoisting. He watched it through
the night. and a heavy wind coming up,
he took it down and sent new flag up

Captain Driver was given to the Ohio

The original "Old Glory" was pre-
served, and after the death of Captain

Mau Robson's Character Studies.

Miss May Robson. who plays the &C.
centric character part of Mrs. Bang. the
mother of THE Messenger Boy" in the
London Gaiety musical comedy OF this
title. is noted as one of the cleverest
character condolences on the American
stage.
For many years she was one of the
leading members of Charles Frohman 8
Empire Theater stock company, playing
roles in her line in all the big produc-
tions made there in seven years. Her
last notable hit before she was seen In
The Messenger Boy was as the servant
In Lady Huntworth's Experiment" pro-
duced by Daniel Frohman at Daly's The
ater.
Miss Robson has made very exhaus
tive study of makeup. and every charac-
ter she plays reveals the almost exhaust
less resources of her fertile mind In
caricaturng on the stage the wonderful
freaks in character and physiognomy that
pass almost unnoticed day by day.
In her early career as an actress Miss
Robson .ought every advantage in study
ing physical characteristics TO enhance
her knowledge of makeup for stage pre-
sentation, spending days in riding on
street cars. in courts, in public institu-
tions, and on the streets, mentally noting
every little grotesque characteristic Of
which she might avail herself.
The result of this faithful study is that
she stands at the head of her particular
branch of dramatic art in this country,
and her name signifies in connection with
any new production some new and per-
hape comic wonder in the transforma-
tion of her personality for stage pur-
poses.
As Mrs. Bang in THE Messenger Boy"
she presents a new character study, and
il goes without saying that it is fea-
ture of the performance in itself Miss
Robson never reveals what her make
ups are to be in advance. and no one
knows what they are like or what new
eccentricity she viii develop until the
new piece receives its premiere.

The best definition OF faith that l ever

he said: Faith is a state of the soul in
which the things Of God become glorious
Certainties it may come with the heart,
as with John. or it may come through the
intellect, as with Thomas, but in eth.
case it is this"
1t is very interesting ms well as profit

always ends in perfect confidence in

bic says about Him. but it is vastly more
than that,

Bible and know a great deal Of Christ
or course his confidence in Christ viii

Out OF this faith comes rest Of mind
Nothing more important can como In
these days when everything IS called into

Kant thought that the true church is

God on earth. So far as Il comes TO pass

Frederic Maurice. that beautiful man,
has said in his own beautiful way that
the meaning Of the kingdom was this;
You have Father in Heaven who is
seeking after you, watching over you,
whom YOU may trust entirely He ruled
over your forefathers. He promised that
He would show forth His dominion fully
and perfectly in the generations to come.
Il am come TO tell you OF Him: to tell
you how He rules over you, and how you
may be in very deed His subjects. l am
come that you and your children may be
citizens in Gods Own city; that the Lord
God himself may reign over you"
The French Renan and the German
Strauss and the English Matthew and
Edwin Arnold-all have spoken gracious
words about this kingdom In their best
