the great West was strong In her. Her
cheeks glowed with the health and strength
that the mountain air gave her. She was
charmingly unconventional as she sat her
horse and rode the rough highways round
about her home. As the dangers OF the
trail fascinated her, SO also her splendid
audacity fascinated the man who rode with
her as her companion on the hunt.

How the Singers Vocal Cords
May Be Contracted.

Miss Hele1a's vocal cords are capable Of
exceptional contraction. When searching
the pinnacles OF sound their edges almost
touch and are as thin as threads.
Their rate of vibration must be close to
$4,000 a second. Another singer, whose
range did not appear TO go so high, would
be unable to contract the vocal bands In
this manner.
The factors in tone production are, first.
the larynx, with its vocal cords. then the
motive power" and lastly, the organs Of
resonance.
The motive power Is the air forced from
The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1902-08-17

ena differs from the ordinary mortal. High
notes are produced when the vocal bands
are at greatest tension. when contracted TO
the utmost. Then the air from the lungs,
passing through n slit between them, sets
up vibrations. II the bands are taut the
vibrations are necessarily short and rapid
and the resulting sound is shrili. The st.
Louis specialist mentioned explained their
action by referring to sounds caused by
touching a rubber band; at low tension the
sound is low; at high tension the sound is
