PIANO ExPERiM ENTS.
Playing hy sweeping the strings
With . Feather.

TN -
Open wide your piano so that the
wires are exposed. Over the wires
place sheets of music, and when you
strike n tone you will find that 1t has
a rafting sound. IL now you play Il
tune In the same manner. with the
sheets of music still lying on the
strings, it will sound as If the instru-
ment were banjo. Anyhow, 1t Is
good imitation.
Now remove the music sheets ana
press down gently, but firmly. the
keys belonging to any cord. Take the
simple cord C, L, G, for example
The keys must be pressed down with
out sounding them and held down
while some one gently brushes the
strings with feather or straw. The
effect will be as II the cord We're play
ed far away and is heard by you as
very soft tones.
Change the cord. always pressing
down the keys without sounding them.
while the feather still sweeps the
strings lightly. In this way you may
modulate or play slow piece. and the
effect will be very beautiful, indeed. MS
II heard from great distance.
The reason of this Is that ordinarily
a damper rests against each string,
but when the corresponding key is
struck or pressed down the damper Is
raised. In sweeping the strings with
the feather. lightly, only the strings
that are undampered sound. the others
being held mute by the hampers. but
If the touch of the feather is too heavy
even the other strings may sound. so
your care must be in making n light
and delicate touch.
Now press down key gently and
hold it. Strike very hard the octave
above this key, but do not hold it after
striking the tone. When the wire OF
the tone struck has been sufficiently
dampered, so that it does not sound so
loud, the pressed down key will be
heard to sing" clearly, even though
1t was not struck This is because
every note struck Is composed of sew
eral notes, being in reality cord in
itself. and each note contained in that
cord causes the corresponding note in
the keyboard to vibrate. or sing" in

one might meet there. There were
about fifty characters in the play.
The whole affair was under the
direction OF Miss Ethelwyn Fezer,
ably assisted by the younger people
of the church.
About $50 will be the net result of
the entertainment. This will go

THE BLUEFlSH BRIGADE.
What Happens when the Blues Make

when menhaden or herring are

they often are. so that they can be
carried of by the cart load" said Il
fisherman. there is very seldom found
amous them one of their pursuers. and
II one is found II is likely to be fish
that is diseased or that has been hurt
in some way. The bluefish follows to
the very verge of the water, but there
il stops, and 1t is so powerful and
alert swimmer that, close as it is, 1t
still easily keeps clear of the land.
The menhaden or herring are no mean
swimmers. They could come us close
and keep off the shore rs easily as the
bluefsh do, but not when the bluefish
are after them. Then they are like
men pursued to the edge of preci-
pice 1t Is almost certain death to
jump, but they must do that or turn
and take the chances of breaking
through the pursuing line.
When the bluetish-there may be
1900 or 1000 of them together-s
a school of menhaden. they go for it
like brigade of heavy cavalry, cut
ting and slashing, swapping and biting
right and left. The menhaden are SIM
ply overborne by superior weight. and
there is nothing for them to do but
flee. II they are driven toward the
shore the land is to them what the
precipice would be to the man. They
must take 1t or they must turn and try
to fight their way through. Many do
turn and try TO swim under or over
or around the savage bluefish, and
some escape in this way, and some are
snapped up, and some are MANNED and
then cast ashore, and many of them.
crowding together, are SO closely press
ed that they are practically forced
ashore
Sometimes fish that are not cast up
very far flop down into the water
again. A high wave may set some
free. A fish thus liberated may find
its fins so damaged that it can't swim,
and it is cast up again. Weakened by
its rough experience, it may fall prey
to some of the bluetish yet lingering
offshore. 1t may escape. New York

SERIES OF sHIPwRECKs.
The Most singular Chain of Marine
Accidents on Record.

AccluentB On 1teSOEO.
The most singular series of ship
wrecks on record began with the loss
of the English merchantman Mermaid
which was driven on the rocks OF Tor
res strait in October. 1929. The officers
and crew clung to the shattered vessel,
which was held fast upon sunken
ledge, until, few minutes before the
frigate picked them up.
The Swiftsure. as the latter craft
was called, resumed her northward
course, to be foundered in a terrific
gale three days later.
Her combined crews were saved by
the warship Governor Ready, en- voy-
age to India, May 1S, 1880. The last
named, overtaken by storm, was
stranded on barren coast, her three
crews to u man succeeding in reach
ing the shore.
After staying q week on the inhoS-
pitable island they We're taken Off by
the revenue cutter Comet, which few
days later sprang a leak and sank in
spite of all efforts to save her.
Fortunately a rescue ship was again
on hand. the four crews being saved
by the Jupiter.
Even then, however, the chain of dis
asters was not broken, for the Jupiter
just as she was entering the harbor of
Port Rattle turned turtle and went
down with scarcely a moments warn
ing. Her crews barely escaped with
their lives, to be picked up by boat
sent to their aid
Thus the crew of the Mermaid was
wrecked five times in one voyage that
of the SwiftsureA four times, Of the
Governor Ready three times and the
Comet twice.
The rescues had been purely acciden-
tai in every case, none of the ships
having been sailing as n consort or
