DRUDGERY OF MUSIC

XTHEN an interviewer who had put to
" kubeik question as to the number of
hours day he practised, was answered. " Prac-
tically all my waking hours. it is probable that
the interrogation, well Others who heard
the reply, thought the response a bit of artistic
exaggeration Yet there is much evidence to
sustain kubelik's assertion.
Paganini the greatest of all violinists, was
compelled by an avar1C1OuS father to practise
twelve or fourteen hours each day. So wearied
did Paganini become of this drudgery. that for
several years he actually laid aside the instru-
ment over which he had such consummate con-
troll and devoted himself to agricultural pur-
suits This period of musical disgust
passed, however, and the violinist again turned
to his hard work, and to such good purpose
that there was nothing written for the violin,
no matter what its technical difficulties might
be, that he was not able to play. Late In his
life Paganini gave over his practising, for the
reason, it is said, that he then played only his
own compositions
A saying of Rubinstein's indicates concisely
the Importance of unwearylng practice ."Should
not practise for a day. / know it; should /
miss two days, my friends know 1t, and should
miss three days, even the public knows it +"
Joachim, another violinst during his student
days was inmate of the house of his
master. and it was largely due to the inexor-
able demands to practise that the teacher laid
on him that Joachim was enabled to attain his
proud position. The room wherein the pupil
practised was without any window; but had
glass panel in the door. If the sound of Joa-
chims violin ceased for a moment during the
hours set apart for practice then could be seen
the scowling face of the instructor peering
through the panel Joachim practised one
composition difficult Beethoven Con-
certo-for over sixty years
Mendelssohn has left an interesting observa-
ton touching his arduous hours of practice
Speaking of certain recltas he was giving
the organ, he said, Il became so interested
in my work that whole days passed like hours
practised pedal passages to such an extent
that the act of walking along the street actual
ly transformed itself into fugue. SO automatic
had my movements become "
With regard to his practising Paderewski
entertains some odd notions, one of which is a
penchant for nocturnal running of the scales.
The great Pole has been known to spend the
whole night in achieving perfection in
two runs of a composition he is studying
Paderewski has said that the greatest foe
a musician has to fight is the feeling of safety
that is sure to oppress him should his work be
not well apportioned. Each season the Pole
finds that he must acquire some twenty to
thirty new compositions So hard does he
work at these, that at the conclusion of his
short tour he cannot endure to hear a single
bar of any of them Like many other musi-
clans, he is saved from inaction only by the
requirement Of novelties.

IN STUDY OF AGRICULTURE
Great Progress Being Made in the
United States.

Washington, Sept 27.-Never in the
history of the world has there been
such progress made in agricultural
education as in the United States dur
ing the past eleven years. This is the
conclusion of Dick ]. Crosby, special
ist in agricultural education of the de-
partment OF agriculture. During the
past year, Mr. Crosby points out, there
has been rapid and healthy growth
in all phases of agricultural eduea-
tion, the year being noteworthy for
the attention given to providing facili
ties for graduate study in agriculture,
to reorganizing and strengthening col.
lege courses and to multiplying oppor-
tunities for acquiring secondary and
elementary instruction in this subject

TELEGRAPH SYSTEMS
PUT OUT or SERVICE.
Wires KILLED" by Violent EIeC-
triCal Earth Currents.

Chicago, Sept. 27.-Violent electrical
earth currents, believed to emanate
from the aurora borealis, disturbed
the telegraph service over the entire
country and for time stilled the tick
ing of the instruments.
While the drift of the currents was
apparently to the eastward its
strength was little more pronounced
other.
The currents were first felt about 5
O'Clock in the morning and increased
in intensity for two hours, reaching
the heaviest wave at 7:10 a. M, when
all telegraph activities were at a
standstill. The force of the disturb
ing currents was so great that fuses
were blown out and resistance lamps
lighted up brilliantly. Shortly after
o'clock the currents began to subside
and intermittent service was resumed
and the conditions after o'clock be-
came relatively normal, except to the
north.
Operators long In the business I'M
hesitatingiy ascribed the dead" wires
to the aurora borealis and their opin-
ion was reinforced by weather bureau
experts. Professor David Cuthbertson,
in charge of the local weather bureau,
declared that the phenomena was
without question due to the aurora
| borealis, which, he said, accompanied
a high pressure in atmospheric condi
| tions.

There is only one way to cure deafness

Deafness is caused by an infamed con
