KARL GRIER, though English boy of average
IL health and sturdiness, gifted with sixth sense,
which the author termed feenonay or knowing The
first evidence of his extraordinary power recorded
when he four years old He fell and hurt, and
translated to himself without difficulty the explanations
of the persons about him, though the remarks were
given in German, French, Scottish dialect and Indian
He understood the language of all animals well.
One day, when living in India, he described to his
father plot to murder neighbor, which he perceived
distinctly, though the plotters miles away. The
plot frustrated and the ruians captured solely
his information.
At ten years of age he taken to England. He
astounded those on board the steamer by his strange
knowledge. For instance he discerned the moons of
the planet Jupiter and then in the evening Armen-
ian commercial man fell overheard Though it in

Grown to young manhood, Grier night felt desire
to recall Maggie Hutchinson, girl he had known

TWENTIETH=CENTURY
CONCERT-ROOM
By Frederic s.. Law

lust now musical Germany is interested in
proposition to make radical change in the
arrangement of Concert-rooms. 1t is urged
that these follow too blindy the plan adopted for
the theater in which clear view of all that is done
the stage is essential; that in concert on the
contrary, the nearer should be unconscious of the
necessary mechanism, since it dstracts his atten-
ton from the enjoyment of the music. The manip-
uation of the instruments, the gestures of the con-
ductor, the personality and dress of the soloists
are looked upon many disturbing factors
which prevent the mental concentration demanded
by the complex music of the present day 1t is
argued that since Wagner in his festival theaer at
Bayreuth has given example of a model audito-
rum for the music drama by shutting out all me-
chanical accessories similar work should be done
Tor the conCert-rOom.
The ideal of these reforrners calls for complete
conceal1nent of orchestra conductor chorus and
soloists, and partial concealment at least of the
audience itself by darkening of the auditorium
during performance. Consequently there must be
balconies boxes materially elevated above the
main floor and it must be lighted so that it can be
darkened readily, not necessarily to complete OBJ
security but to mysterious twilight in which all
details softened or absorbed Experiments have
been made with a movable stage-one that can be
lowered to be hidden entirely from the audi
ence; but the difficulty in such case is to secure
satisfactory acoustical conditions; then, too such
arrangement is neither dignifed nor impressive
from architectural standpoint.
More attractive is the picture given by an en-
thusiast who has carefully thought out ali details

evoked some reflex action or cry during any of his
earlier manifestations
Luckily there was present in the young American
a sympathetic watcher who, notwithstanding his
comparative youth had all the GOODNESS and critical
acumen of hardened Investigator. Hooper, true
to his own theory, was convinced that he

If it was possible to leave an infant, born of

direct characteristics of human ancestry would it

as follows:
He sees large ova1-shaped hail. one
end of which-perhaps a third or fourth
of the entire Space-is cut off by a balus-
trade rising to a height of from six to nine
feet, with a slight inward curve. Above
this balustrade and separated by wide
pillars three mighty window-shaped
openings reaching almost to the ceiling,
the middle one larger than those on the
sides. These openings correspond to three
stained-gass windows at the opposite end
of the hall. The effect of the whole in
decorations, proportions, etc, is suggestive
of the nave of Gothic church
In the concealed space the musical forces
are disposed on platforms descending by
successive stages: the conductor with the
soloists directly back of the balustrade,
the chorus on a lower level, the orchestra
still lower, and the organ on the basement
or cellar floor. Two sounding boards are
provided, one over the singers in front,
the other at a lower level over the orchestra
in the back. The latter is capable of being
raised or lowered by means of an electric
motor, which is governed by button on
the conductors desk, so that when a
particularly strong orchestral effect is
desired it can be secured simply by pressing
this button. The auditorium is lighted from
the ceiling in such wise that the source of
the illumination cannot be SEEM behind
the balustrade and following its curve is
a double row of incandescent lights; in
addition, there are the ordinary desk
lights of the orchestra. During the music
the lights in the auditorium are turned
off; a faint glow, however, breaks in
from lights behind the rear windows and
from the reelection of those in the
orchestra. ~-.
In such a temple of art no applause is
allowed between the movements of a
symphony similar work, and none what

and the like.

found on the ribs of cetaCean stranded
shores of the Pliocene Sea, and what that m
prehistoric tribe was clearly shown by Lo
bury's (Sir John Lubbock's) summary of
description by Captain Grey of a recent
whale feast in Australia:
When a whale is washed ashore it is real
godsend to them (the aborigines). Fires are lit
to give notice of the joyful event. They rub
themselves all over with blubber and anoint their
favorite wives in the same way. Then they cut
down through the blubber to the beef which they
eat broil pointed sticks. As other
natives arrive they fairly eat their way into the
whale, and you see them climbing in and about
the carcass, choosing titbts. There is no
sight in the world more revolving than to see
young and gracefully formed girl stepping out
of the interior of putrid whale"
Hooper had plenty of time to let his
imagination run riot in this wise The
light fell fair on Grier's face but the
watcher looked in vain for any indication
of the sights or sounds in which the sleeper
was participating Karl, to outward SEM
blance, might be either really asleep or
brought to muscular rigidity by the in
fluence of an anesthetic.
He was reluctant to disturb his comrade.
This present flight through space promised
to transcend its predecessors in the pro-
longed sequence of its events. Nevertheless,
there was a limit to his friends endurance
if not to his own.
When the expiration of another fifteen
minutes revealed no sign of Grier's return to
consciousness, Hooper did not think he was
justified in permitting the trance to con-
t1nue indefinitely without assuring him
self, at any rate, that Griers pulse was
normal and his heart beating regularly.
He stopped and caught Karls wrist gently.
He noticed that the breathing was slow and
measured and he had just succeeded in de-
tecting the pulse when Karl opened his eyes.
He gave one surprised, almost bewidered
glance at Hooper, laughed cheerfu1ly when
he looked at the clock on the mantel-
piece, and said, in the most matter-of-fact
way:
Have you ever heard of a man named
Steindal in New York;"
