which will neceSsitate at least five
years employment These men are
all high-salaried and every piano hat
leaves a factory passes muster before
it's head regulator, or head vOicer, as
he is commonly called by most piano
men, it is a calling to which very few
may be fitted by natural equipment
and training. Is it not then folly to
trust a costly instrument to the mer-
cies of one who has not for years toll
ed in the factory; with n who has
not worked at piano construction?
For it is almost impossible to do this
work right unless you thoroughly un-
derstand the delicate mechanism con-
cealed in the instrument.
Hammers after a moderate use of a
few years lose their resiliancy, cush-
ion, OF tone regulation, the force OF
the hammer in striking the strings
becomes u through into the
hard portion of the hammer felt,
losing all it's quality and richness
of tone, M must have hammer treat
ment to give them perfect shape, and
correct string line strike, to produce
a perfect scale, so they can give the
same quality of tone as when new,
after being tone regulated.
Hammer treatment is one Of the
nos important factors Of piano tone,
or tone regulatlng-nOt only in snap
ing, but in what is called voicing, and
in their striking position, and should
be entrusted to only the most expert
enced mechanics. The same can be
said Of other parts of the action. Few
tuners have the necessary training for
this class Of work. A piano is sur
prisingly sensitive to the slightest vari-
alton in the adjustment Of any of it's
parts, and the right kind Of attention
at all times to these parts Of a piano
will do wonders for it in the sense of
the old adage, "a stitch in time saves
nine.' Furthermore, the piano which
is kept in good repair all the time will
give just SO much more pleasure and
satisfaction to it's oWners.
AS there is a great deal of felt used
in the piano, it may not be amiss to
say a few words in regard to that tiny
pest, the larva of h moth miller,
scientifically known as the Phataena
of Linnaeus. Camphor, red pepper,
moth balls and tobacco, are supposed
to destroy these pests. They do not,
for with them in it, it is a fact that I
find the moth destroying the felt that
controls the momentum Of action,
therby producing harsh unevenness Of
n The piano should be taken apart
and thoroughly cleaned both action and
keyboard at least once every eighteen
months. I find tuners as a rule, trou-
BILE themselves very little about actions,
as it requires great skill n care in
doing this work properly.

STRUGGLE TO THE DEATH
Two Men i'm an Alteration. Fall From
Fourth Story of a Building, to the
Ground Below.

Cleveland, October 5.-C1utched in
each others arms, two young men fell
from the fourth story Of the Lake
Shore railroad Office building and were
hurled to their death on the pavement
below at 5 o'clock this evening.
The dead men are J. ". Runts, aged
80 and Harry Wilfred, aged II years,
both of whom were clerks in the Office
of the superintendent of motive power
of the Lake Shore railroad. Bunts
was killed instantly and Wilfred died
in an ambulance while being conveyed
to a hospital.
The young men had had some trouble
previously, and a renewal of this late
this afternoon lead to an alteration
betweeb them. 1t was as a result that
they fell from the window which was
open directly in front of them.
The scene of the tragedy was in
the center of the downtown business
district, and dozens Of Mortified Pc
destrians witnessed 1t.
