The ancients were of the opinion
that the planets in their movement
through space produced severally the
seven notes of the gamut.
This music, it was contended. was
imperceptible to human ears on ac-

powerful for our hearing. Others
held that men did not hear it simply
because they were so used to it, just
as we do not notice the roar of the
