This model roughly speaking, consists

principles The object Of the export
ment is To- show that a feline's peculiar
faculty depends on the rotation Of its
tail with sufficient vigor.
This FACULTY Is one specially developed
by climbing and lcaping animals, such
M members Of the cat tribe, monkeys,
SQUIRRELS. rats, and most lemurs. As
mentioned. the tail plays an important
nart in the turning process. According

no, the slightest doubt that these tails

American Singers Most
Original of all Nations

T EBNAND DEPAs Of Paris, pro-
- fessor OF diction and acting and
the Instructor OF MARY Garden
and many stars of the French
opera and opera comique, was sought
recently by the Paris CORES pendent OF
the New York World for his opinion
Of the aptability Of the average
American student to the operate stage.
How do American singers compare
with those OF France and other coun-
tries, as far as your experience goes
nc WAS asked.
II can speak authortatiyely only as
to their acting. not a. TO their voices
replied Prof. Depas. II am French
man and have taught women and men
for nearly 20 years. OF course, most
OF my pupils have come from my own
country. NJ experience has led me To-
believe that the American singers arc
more readily adapted 10 stage work
than are those OF any other country
who have come to me. or course, men,
and especially the former who come
from America 20 study grand opera
are far more advanced than are the
pupils from elsewhere. American girls
are here for the sole puruoso of stud.,
and they pay strict attention t. AN thrN
see and hear. They grasp the stua-
ton moro readily. II seoms 90 me.
And again" added Prof Dopns. 81
notice that you find originality, as
rule, only among the American st'I-
dents You follow a certain method in
instructing "a singer how 90 act ON the
stage while he or she sings part In
n certain opera. You toll them they
must first stand here or there. that
they must raise thoir hands thus ana
thus. ANA that they must make their
exits here or there
Nov the rules are laid down very
strictly and each scholar IS taught
alike. or course I'm the first place, q
singer must thoroughly understand the
history Of the part he or sho IS to sing
and act. and l teach them not only 20

act the parts, but actually 70 live them
TO transform themselves 80 to speak
for the ;imc being at least. into Car
men, Manon. or Marguerite In Faust
and to live or portray the part while
they sing the notes the composer wrote
for them. But ! oftentlmes find that
the stage work is being actually i'm
proved upon by the American, and
many Of my American pupils have in.
PRODUCED little by-plays which were so
unique and original that many ~ them
have been adopted by me
Thus YOU see how even a French
professor OF acting is willing and ready
to learn from his American pupils II
is this originality I'm acting that stamps
the American artist and scholar more
than anything and anybody else. 49,

sixteenth annual meeting of the Lake
Mchong conference on international
arbitration began its three davs' ses-

The most striking feature was the
address of Nicaolas Murray Butler
the presiding officer of the conference
and his assertion that SOMEBODY
makes something 5y reason of the
huge expenditures in the preparation
for war" and his suggestion that the
same sort of ability that has expos
ed other forms of caicanery and graft
should investigate the sincerity and
disinteredness of the lively types of
patriotism, which has accomplished
these naval and military debates the
world over"
He said sarcastically, that war is

poses are under consideration.
