to help him. he brooded over his plans
for twenty-five months. Then he had
conceived every detail clearly in his
mind had computed the exact proper
tions of each of the $4,000 parts, and
had assembled these parts mentally.
When his cogitations had evolved the
organ he dropped note to the warden
in one of the various letter boxes the
warden has placed about the prison
grounds. He wrote. he said in this
note, to ask for permission to illustrate
on paper the ideas he had on building
an organ for one of the chapels. The
warden sent for the wouldbe builder,
and was so impressed with the mans
intelligence and earnestness that he
told him to 90 ahead; that he should
have pencil and paper and all the
drawing instruments he needed He
had never made a sketch in his life,
but he soon made hundred ineligible
illustrations that made it possible for
others to see what before had been
visible to him only.
The warden sent these drawings to
organ builders in New York, and asked
for expert opinions. Both critics re-
piled that the designs were excellent
and practical with the exception of
one point They doubted il reed could
be made to give the tone produced by
the sixteen-foot organ pipe. They be-
lieyed eight feet was the limit for
reeds.
The genius said that II the warden
would let him go ahead he would show
the manufacturers how easily it could
be done. The warden said 'All right"

this three-ounce pressure moves 600

are about eight feet long, and hold an
air supply of l15 seconds, so the Or
ganist can play for nearly two minutes
with one breath.
Another genius whom the wardens
art school has discovered would be
driving cabs to-day If he had behaved
himself. Under the head Of previous
occupation he is down on the prison
list as "coachman, butler, colored."
He is still colored but 1t is not probable
that he will ever drive or wait on doors
or dinner tables again. Instead of meat
he will carve wood, and his attention to
doors and tables will be with view to
ornament He is the chief star in the
art school galaxy, and does exquisite
work.

Several Gsniuses Already Discovsrsd-A
Prisoner who Designed and Built Two

woodcarvsr Convict.
AS an art centre Sing Sing Prison
is establishing reputation. Already
the warden has made the school Of
design and decoration there one of the
most efficient in the United States.
The classes are for thoroughly practi-
cal work, and the students, all of whom
are doing time," receive an. education
that makes 1t easy for them to earn
living honestly as skilled workmen af-
ter they have served out their sentences
and are discharged into the world out
side.
The warden has discovered several
geniuses already. One of these built
the large reed organs in the Catholic
and the Protestant chapels. He did
all the work himself and learned how
to use tools after he entered the prison.
His experience in earpentering or any
mechanical work had not gone further
than driving nails in packing boxes be-
fore the law took charge of him. He
had a good ear for music, though he
could not read note, and he had
played organs "on the road" three sea-
sons of three months each for a manu-
featuring firm in Canada. In this
work he had helped at packing and un-
packing dozens of instruments and had
become familiar with the arrangement
of the reeds and the general anatomy
of the instruments. He had never
worked at organ building nor had he
done any of the practical work Of de-
signing or construction.
But the most remarkable fact about
the building of these instruments Is
that the man who made them thought
out everything to the minutest details
before he made even rough sketch
of the work he wished to do. Without

Booth, to whom Henry p, Abbey

They have to rehearse at inconvenient
times; they go out, in all kinds Of
weather regardless of their health or
comforts or home desires; they dress in
outlandish places, either wet, damp

the capricious mercy of speculative
managers, and, having found by ex-
