thought of a gramophone in the vatican is
at first almost startling, but Pope Plus
X. is an i~nnovato.
He is anxious to spread the GregoriaIl
chant through the whole Of the Roman
Catholic world, and is wisely DESTROYS OF
doing away with the theatrical and scnsa-
tionaI music which has so largely become.
the ecclesiastical fashion, and to replace.
it by the grand and simple melodies which
nave been handed down by Gregory the
Great.
one of the great difficulties which has.
however, hitherto harnpered the scheme.
is to be met by the fact of the impossi-
bility OF indicating, in printed muse, the
modulations which make the plain song
SO impressive, and 1t 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
essary, and in order to provide il they
requested Alfred Michaelis, the wei
known musical composer. to attend at the.
vicarage OF Rome, together with & NUM-
Der of members of the Gregorian con-
gress, and the whole mass IN Gregorian
plain sony was takenson the -gramophone
record.
Gramophone sections are being estab-
lisned now all over Italy, and probably
by and by the study of plain song will ex-
tend all over the world. and the lessons
viii 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
for the construction of a high speed cleo
trio railway from Berlin TO Hamburg, a
distance of $50 miles.
Siemens & Halske offer to construct the
railway at a cost Of G3.50o,0M for a single
line, and esq 900 for a double line,' guar
anteeing a speed of 100 miles an hour.
1t is estimated hat with one pound
arst class fares and fifteen shilings second
$40 600 passengers annually would make
he single line and $4,000 the double line
profitable.
The General Electrical company IS WILL
Ing TO guarantee a speed OF 125 miles an
hour for the same fares, but estimates
that the cost Of construction would be
higher.
Probably Of these schemes wiz be
adopted, as the Emperor is ambitious that
Germany should be the pioneer in high
speed electric railways.

A typical escapade was accomplished
under Jacobs direction az Marseiles two
or three years ago. The method was sim

band, drove one day to the house Of a
commissionaire of the Mont de Pietre."
He announced himself as q comm.ssarx

The bands audacity led them into many
tight corners, but they escaped repeatedly.

the hands of the police and are being rig
