YOUNG MASTERS OF MUSIC
Genius In That Line Seems to AWaker
Early

The accounts of Master Danewski.
who at the mature age of 8 has beer
conducting a full orchestra at Bourne
mouth, England, in military march
of his own composition, casually re
marked afterward that he had written
1t several years ago when he was
quite young" suggests a question
which is worthy of more attention
than it has received. Why are genu
inc musical prodigies comparatively
common, whereas in other branches
of art they are practically Donexist
emit? We say genuine" because 1t is
undoubtedly the case that while OF
course not every precocious musician
is heard of in maturer life, nearly
every great musician has in his time
been a prodigy. One need only in
stance Mozart, Schubert, Haydn
Chopin, and among expectants of to-
day, Joachim and Norman-Neruda, tc
realize that this is so. Have psycholo-
gists explained why the genius OF
music should and does awake in the
soul years before that Of painting and
the allied arts?

Bones of the Insane.

The attendants in city hospitals who
make a practice of calming demented
patients by jumping on them will be
interested III paper read by DR.,
Maule Smith before the British Medi.
cal Association. Dr.. Smith stated that
an undue fragility of bones was not in
frequently met with among the insane
after middle life.
The ribs, he said was the most easl'
ly affected; then followed the fiat pei
vic bones. The vertebrate, the skull cap
and lastly, the long bones. An analy'
sis of 200 cases from the post-mortem
records of the West Riding Asylum
was made, the strength of the rib
bones being tested with the hands. No
fragility was found in twenty-six out
Of twenty seven cases of idiocy OF I'M
becillty. Melancholia was marked by
evidences of increased fragility, and
this was still more marked in the case
Of dementia.
BY knowing that the ribs Of insane
persons break most easily, while the
long bones are likely TO be the last to
be fractured, the attendants can save
themselves good deal Of effort In
calming their patients. The veriest
novice should be able to break ribs,
and an attendant of experience should
have no difficulty in fracturing skulls.
If there is any public protest against
the injuries to which the patients are
subjected, plausible showing can be
made that the patients ribs were SO
fragile that they broke when the at
tendant tried to lead his charge back
to the ward.
