The Abbreviation Of Geological.

The tendency among English peo-
pie to clip long words into short
ones or even into monosyllables is
notorious. Thus "cabriolet" has be-
come cab, Omnibus" bus and so on.
But the change of geological" into
zoo is, to any one who knows the
origin of the word, the most exas-
perating of all, and yet we now meet
with zoo in well written journals.
There is another variation, which
comes simply from bad pronuncia-
ton, as when a cockney holiday
maker tells you he has been to the
"slogical." If geological" is to I'M
dergo a shortening like that which
has befallen omnibus" and sea
briolet" let it at least become 70.
This would be correct as far as it
went and would not be so excruciat-
ing as the detestable zoo.-Notes

proved to be a series of long dialogues and
no action worth mentioning. The first act

fidious intention. The second act was de-
voted almost exclusively to two long

Much Interest.

Edward Mcdowell, the composer-pianist

TO American music. and whose compositions
have been played with success in England
and Germany. will be heard in a piano re-
cital at the Propylaeum next Wednesday

nee Musicale. Mr.. Mcdowell has been
making a concert tour through the South
and West and was so well received in San
Francisco-a musical city, by the way
that he will return there in the spring and
give another series of concerts.
McDowell's career has been interesting.
He was born in New York city and began
the study of the piano at very early age.
at one time being the pupil OF Teresa Car
reno. He went to Paris in 1876 and was
admitted to the Conservatory in 1877. study
ing piano while there under Marmontel and
theory under Savard. Two years later he
went to Wiesbaden and studied for a time
with Louis Ehlert. thence TO Frankfort-on-
the-Main. where he enjoyed the privilege OF
studying composition with Joachim Ran
and piano with Carl Heymann. the cele-
brated pianist. In 1881 at Ran's recon-
mendation Mcdowell accepted the position
of first piano teacher at the Darmstadt
Conservatory. In 1852 he went to Weimar
to play his compositions for Liszt, who be-
came so much interested in the young
American that he had him play at the
convention of Allgemeiner Deutscher Musk
Verein, in Zurich, his (McDowelrs) first
suite for piano, Op. 10. which met with
great success. After considerable success
full concertizing, Mcdowell in 1884 took UP
his residence in Wiesbaden, composing and
giving piano and composition lessons. He
returned to America in the autumn of 1855,
and has since then made his home in New
York, where he occupies the chair OF music
at the Columbia University.

rendered in Europe. orchestral compost

success in st. Petersburg. Amsterdam,
Paris, Berlin, Dresden, Frankfort. Wies-

one of his works was repeated three times
in one season. certainly an unprecedented
occurrence, which speaks for his success
as composer better than words. He is a
