the fingers, lips and eyes comes last.
This process of development in connec-
ton with the work at the piano or the
work with the violin brings expression.
The only criticism ever made regard
ing the work of pupils taught by these
evolutionary functional processes is
that they play like the masters.
If the pupils have not a conscious
ness of tone we blindfold them, place
them at a certain distance from a
musical instrument and train them by
conscious, discriminative processes to
discriminate tone.
An individual who was able to hear
only one tone when work was begun
was taught within two months time,
one hours work a day, to discriminate
thirty-two different tones.
If the individual has not a conscious
ness of rhythm the teacher neither
counts for the pupil, nor requires the
pupil to count, and most certainly the
pupil is not required to keep time ac-
cording to the pendulum of an instru-
ment. Such processes may work out
ton of the hands, but they do not tend
to develop expression In music.
If rhythm is lacking the child is
blindfolded, the ears are covered and
the child is taught rhythmic move
ments by perceiving them through mo-
ton in the floor. produced by the in
structor's rhythmic actions. This pro-
cess is exactly the process by which
the deaf and the blind learn rhythm.
With such a developed consciousness of
rhythm, mechanical counting is abso-
lutely unnecessary and harmful.
For Adults Development
The department for adults is for tho
purpose of developing that conscious
,S0I
realizes that he is able to perceive or
execute that which he has not previous
ly perceived or executed. Many in
dividuals have gone through life long,
ing for musical expression, supposing
that they had no talent for manifesto
ton. Others have longed to paint;
others to model; others to create; others
to manufacture.
The same selection of qualities and
environment is made in relation to
the adult as to the child.
The therapeutic department Is unique
In that the physicians in charge accept
no patients except those having the So
called incurable diseases or deficiencies.
Locomotor ataxia, paralysis, deafness.
color blindness, complete blindness IL
Illustrates the types Of diseases treated.
Character Development
The character department for chill
dren Is based upon evolutionary pro-
cesses of development and methods of
training.
We realize that every individual who
Is not afraid of his fellow men physic-
ally, mentally, etchically, carries his
head well balanced upon his shoulders
so that he may look his fellow man In
the eye and consciously consider him
self his equal.
Courage is developed, first by the de-
velopment of consciousness Of right do
ing and second by the training of such
muscles as hold the body in courage
GUS attitude.
Individuals weak in will power and
weak In decision always have lax
nasseter muscles and lax hands. The
development of these muscles at the
same time that the state of conscious
ness of decision and viii and deter.
mination is being functioned develops
the structure Of the brain so that the

permanent.
The new education is selective and

setting OF Explosives.

There are two ways In which an ex-
plosive may be set ofr'-by burning
and by defamation. The burning pro
cess is progressive from one particle
70 another-as of FIRE in crate, only
Infinitely more rapid. This process is
adapted to gunpowder, requiring as it
does very short time for the burn
ing up Of the explosive body The
other form Of explosion-the detona-
tive-being at once throughout the
mass, is untitled foruse in guns (Which
would be smashed to pieces), but is
adapted to shattering, or breaking, pur-
poses, such as blasting rocks in mining
operations and bursting charges in
shoIls. torpedoes, and submarine
mines. Substances OF the latter sort
are termed high explosives. Some ex-
Amplss may be given Of the safety
with which the most dangerous explo-
EiTes may ordinarily be handled. For
instance, a considerable quantity OF
Eun-cotton (such as pure cotton treat
"a with nitric acid) may be set FIRE,
and win burn quietly. But II a suffl-
Gent mass be set fire the heat and
pressure on the surface Of the burn
ing body win cause the whole to be
exploded. A torpedo filled with wet
compressed guncotton viii not e1-
riode II a shell from a cannon should
penetrate II and burst IN the mass Of

A Curious Food.

In Java there is a strange industry
that takes some daring and a good
deal OF persistence. II Is bird-nest-
ang for soup. The cliff swallow on the
ISLAND makes a nest much like that Of
our chimney swallow, and fastens it
60 the rocky walls of caves. The nests
are made almost entirely Of q glue
axe seaweed, mixed with little hsir
or grass and a few sticks, and these
are gathered and sent to China where
they are sold as food.
The nests are soaked in water I'M
en- the glue becomes soft, when the
sticks and straws are picked out and
thrown away. The jelly which re-
mains is then dried and preserved,
60 be used in making birds nest soup.
This is considered great delicacy,
and the nests are sold in the Chinese
markets for $25 a pound. OF course,
Il this pricee none but rich folks can
indulge in them, and they are, there
fore, a very fashionable dish. Al
though they are usually made into
soup. they are sometimes cooked in
ether ways.

inside the Earth.

Commenting upon a recent German
book on the interior state Of the
earth, Dr. A. C. Lane. well known
for his researches on this dimcult
subject, makes very interesting re.
mark. He says that without making
sweeping statement at the start,
as to the gaseous interior OF the
earch. it is perhaps safe to say. in
view Of what we know. that "some
of the elements of the earth's inter
Tor are in a gaseous condition, and the
earth, for them at least, might be
likened to a toy balloon, hut one in
which the gas was so condensed. nm

that the study Of seismic vibrations
