Paris special: Certainly the pope has
a distinct leaning to modernity and ths
thought OF a s%ramophone in the vatican is
at first almost startling. but Pope Plus
y. Is an innovato.
He is anxious TO spread the Gregorian
chant through the whole OF the Roman
Catholic world. and is wisely DESTROYS ot
doing away with the theatrical and scnsa-
tional music which has so largely become
the ecclesiastical fashion, and to replace
It by the grand and simple melodies whkan
have been handed down by Gregory tho
Great.
One OF the great difficulties which has.
however, hitherto hampered the scheme
is TO be met by the fact of the imposed
biity of indicating, in printed music, tho
modulations which make the plain song
so impressive. and it is this difficulty that
the gramophone has overcome.
The Gregorian congress which has re-
Gently been sitting drew attention to- the
fact that aural tuition is absolutely nee
cssary. and in order to provide it they
requested Alfred Michaelis, the Will
known musical composer. to attend n; tho
vlcarage Of Rome, together with a num-

plain song was taken on the gramophone
record.
Gramophone sections are being estab-
ltshed now all over Italy, and probably
by and by the study of plain song will en-
tend all over the world, and the lessons
will be given by this inanimate but vocal
teacher.
Great Electric Railroad.
Two leading electrical firms in Germany
Siemens & Halske and the General Elec-
trical company-have elaborated schemes
Tor the construction of a high speed cleo
tr!c railway from Berlin to Hamburg. n
distance OF $50 miles.
Siemens & IIalske offer to construct tho
railway at a cost of G3.50O,O0 for a sinsie
line, and G5.2 Q0.0O for a double line. guar
anteeins a. speed of 100 miles an hour.
1t Is estimated that with one pound
hrst class fares and fifteen shilings second
10000 passengers annually would make
the single line and $4,000 the double lins
profitable.
The General Electrical company IS WILL
ing to guarantee a speed of l25 miles an
hour for the same fares, but estimates
that the cost Of construction would be
higher.
Probably one of these schemes will be
adopted, as the Emperor is ambitious thar
Germany should be the pioneer In high
speed electric railways.

The Emperor jacques L." is living in
strict retirement in the house which he
has rented at Brussels.
A gentleman who is in his majesty's

there.
