His Sensitive Nerves and His Horror
Of Autograph Fiends.
NJ. Paderewski win receive consid-
erable amount from the insurance COM
panies on account of the attack OF neu-
ritis In his right arm, which obliged
him to cancel his London engagements
The great pianist's health is always
SO unreliable that he Is heavily insur-
ed both for life" and against loss OF
business. His hand alone has been
covered" for as much as 100000.
A good deal of Paderewski's Ill
health Is due to the state OF his
nerves, for he is an intensely emotion
al man. Some time ago he said that
the secret of music is emotion. Emo
tion," he declared, lis the principle OF
music. the foundation and finishing
touch of art"
Apart from his chronic neuritis, Pad
erewski has been extremely unfortu-
nate In the matter of III health. Re-
peatedly for this reason he has had
to cancel lengthy engagements worth
scores OF thousands of pounds. An at
tack of spotted fever FIVE years ago
caused him to lose three months
tour In America at fabulous salary.
This was followed by n railway acct
dent. necessitating two operations.
One OF Paderewski's minor worries
is the persistent autograph hunter,
who gets terribly on his nerves George
Grossmith once came to his RELIEF
when he was being pestered by the
signature seekers. Grossmith ruffied
his hair to make II like the musicians

into the hall of the hotel. screaming,

Next day everybody was talking of
the sad case of poor Paderewski,
whose mind was becoming quite I'M

A modern view of the soil regards 1t
as alive. 1t is a matrix supporting
various definite groups of micro-organ-
isms. and recent Investigations suggest
the possibility of determining by bac-
THEOLOGICAL diagnoses the crop produc-

as their causes. 1t has been shown
within the past few years that the
action of the nitrifying bacteria CORE
lates fairly well with the productive
ness Of the same soils under field con-
