Answers to Queries

MooNsTRUCK-s.. City. What is the origin
OF the term ''moonstruck''?
The idea arose from an impression
prevalent among the ancients and the
east that the moon was capable of Civ
ing people stroke, driving them mad
Both sun and moon strokes are mem
toned in psalm cXxi, g.: "Fhe sun shall
not smite thee by day. nor the moon
by night" In Carnes' Letters From
the East it is stated that the inhabit-
ants of eastern countries believe that
the sight of persons who sleep with
their faces exposed to the moon would
soon be utterly destroyed The belief
is not uncommon in this country that
the moon shining on sleeping individ-
uals has the effect of producing insan-
ity and, as showing that this belief was
at one time universal. it may be men
toned that our name for a madman,
'lunatic." is derived from the Latin
luna the moon.

linists, born,N and when? Which of the two was
considered the best vlolinist?
Bull was born in Bergen, Norway
February 5, 1910. Paganini in Genoa
February Is, 1884. OF Paganini a critic
has written: His mastery over the
violin has never been equaled in i'm
pressiveness and passionate power" Of
Bull he wrote: His style of playing
was like that of Paganini, but it was
impossible for him to follow the flight
of the great Italian. in whose brain
some capricious demon seemed to lurk."
vOICE-Kate g., City. What produces the
difference in the tone of the voice of men and
women?
1t arises chiefly from the variation

and when stretched to the fullest ex-
tent expands to about so. In woman

ence of a small company of relatives.
