MUSICAL CLASSES.
The Queer Looking "Armonica" That
Franklin Devised.

Franklin Devised.
Books have been writton about
the many sided franklin. His om-
nivorous and practical mind seemed
ready to attack any new branch of
science with the same earncstncss.
Music did not escape him, and he
actually invented a musical inStrN
ment that was sufficiently unique to
arouse the interest of some of the
great masters.
How long musical glasscs' have
been used for their special purposes
no one really knows. There is an
account Of an Irish performer who
played upon the musical glasses in
his native country as early as 1913.
When Gluck went to England
april, l74G) there is an account of
his playing at the little Haymarket
theater, which runs as follows:
"He played a concerto on twenty
elk drinking glasses, tuned with
spring water, accompanied by the
whole band, being new instrument
of his own invention, upon which he
performs whatever may be done
upon the violin or harpsichord."
In Goldsmith's "Vicar of Wake
field' the musical glasses" arc
mentioned as being fashionable.
When Franklin was in London
Q762) he saw performer upon the
glasses. who played them by wet
ting his fingers and wiping them
over the brims. Seeking to i'm
prove and systematic this in
i strument and at the same time to
/ extend its usefulness by means of
7, the application of mechanical appli-
anccs. Franklin devised an unusual
looking instrument which was de-
scrlbcd thus in Groves Dictionary:
"The bells or basins of glass were
ranged or strung OH an iron spindle
j (long roO. The largest and deep
i toned ones were at the left and
i gradually rose in pitch according
to the usual scale. The lower edges
Of the basins were dipped in a
trough .of water. The spindle or
\ rod was made to rcvolvc before the
i performer. so that all the glass
bowls were kept continually going
around and around by means Of a
treadlc connected with the spindle
and operated by the foot of the per-
I former. The sound was produced
by APPLYING the fingers to the wet
edges of the bowls as they rcvolvcd.
Franklin called the instrument the
armonica.
Mozart wrote music for this I'M
usual musical machine, and it be-
came Very popular in parts of Ger
many. The composer Naumann
wrote sonatas for it. and at onc
time ii was used in some of the
court orcllestras. Beethoven wrote
a piece of twcnty-four measures for
the instrument. In Germany the
instrument was called the harmon
lea Its tone was often irritating.
penetrating and exciting. and it was
. said to have had a bad effect upon

it appears to be good sound business

from s. 10 s. per car 10 $50, 81 and
$3.50 per car, according to the ser
vice. Amer conference OF the repre-
sentatiyes, compromise proposition
was submitted, the roads agreeing to
charge on the basis OF s., $3.50 and
80 per car. This has not been ac-
cepted
W. r. Tyler Il Springfield, No, gen
eral superintendent Of the Frisco sys-
ten, told the commission that the
cost OF switchinz had increased great
or I'm proportion than had the charges
for road work. and that the cost OF
switching equipment had likewise ad-
vanced. A few years ago, he said. a
switch engine could be purchased for
$1,000. but now they cost $4,000 and
where cars with 40 900 TO G0.O00-pound
capacity answered, shippers were now
demanding lOOOOO-pound capacity
cars
The switching rate, he said, had not
been advanced. and when considered
from the standpoint OF tonnage had
easily been reduced half.
w. X. Beacon, general superinten
dent OF the Rock Island, testified that
the cost OF switching was from Sz.5l
to 81 per car, although there were In
srances in large functions where the
minimum charge was $50 and else
where the maximum was s. per car.
w. A. Durham Of St Louis, assist
ant to the general manager OF the
Missouri. Kansas and Texas, stated
that the recognized minimum charge
between railroads was 81 per car
iwhc,her the railroad absorbed the
cost or the shipper paid 1t, and tt
MIN this appeared to be a reasonable
rate. All witnesses agreed that II
was difficult to determine the cos
since that was dependent upon the
Gmount OF business.
