MUSIC AND MUSICIANS

Ia Germany since Sir Charles Hale's
death In 1895.
Born at Brunn, in Moravia, Lady
Halle has been hailed as the finest
woman violinist the world has ever
seen. II was by stealth that she first
learned to play the violin. for in hel
youth 1t was considered ungraceful
and unfeminine for girl to play upon
that instrument. Her father was M
Neruda, organist and conductor at the
cathedral Of Brnnn. and its was his
intention to make pianist of his
daughter, W1lhelmina. But as q child
she watched with rapt attention her
brother as he practiced on his violin,
and once, when everyone was out 81
the way. she took down the violin and
began to play herself. She was then
six years of age.
The secret practices were continued,
and one day Neruda stopped outside
the door listening to what he thought
was his sons playing He entered
with the object OF praising his boys
efforts, and was astonigf1ed to and his
little daughter was the performer.
"Oh. father cried the child. ETH never
do 1t again" But Nernda was artistic
enough to allow his daughters genius
to follow It's true bent. and for a time
he himself instructed her. Tuition by
Professor Jansa followed. and she
made her debut at Vienna before shee
was years old.
AT nine years Of age she made her
first appearance in London. playing
at the Philharmonic concerts. a. Sc

] Gotta, Ward Bros, Mile. Emerie and
Narrow Bros, and opening on Mon
day afternoon for next week. Man
ager Muckenfuss wishes to announce
the following lists Of attractions that

features for the coming week is the
Bellclaire Bros. and the Kuma Fam
lily of Japs. An act that is consid-
cred above all others is the one pre-
scented by the Bellclaire Bros. They
not only perform extraordinary feats
of strength but the speed with which
they execute them, displays test OF
endurance that is marvellous. The
Kuma Family, oriental wonder work
ers, will entertain next week at the
Orpheum in performance ripe with
those feats of skill, dexterity and
magic in which the little people Of
Japan are without equals In the en-
tire world.
Fred Jarvis and Frederick Harri-
son; The Fellow and the Girl on the
Beach, have a very pleasing singing
and talking act that is a sure first hit
everywhere.

the earth arr practically lightning

ings have been known to be repeated.
ly struck by lightning without this
least damage The sheet-iron grain
cry, so common in the west, when well
connected with the earth may be con
sidered lightning proof. The ground
connections mentioned above may be
made Of metallic rods that extend well
into the earth and securely fastened
to the metallic covering OF the build
ings.
In considering the form of lightn-
ing conductors ii is well to keep in
mind this fact that a metal covered
building well connected with the
earth Ii practically lightning proof
and that one with metallic roof,
well grounded is excellently well pro-
tected, IL not perfectly safe. If then
the roof of a building possesses a me-
tallic ridge. eve troughs and down
spouts, these will afford a very good
protection IL they are all connected
and well grounded. A roof covered
with metallic screen, as a chicken
screen, makes an excellent protector
when properly grounded.
1t must be remembered that the
ground connection is positive neces-
sity and too much care cannot be ex-
ercised in its construction. The earth
Is the great reservoir of electrical en-
ergy and 1t is always at zero poten-
tial If discharge OF lightning can
be directed into the moist earth by
a conductor, its energy is soon dis
sipated but the ground connection
must be of considerable area and ex-
tend we'll into the moist earth. A
piece Of galvanized iron pipe driven
into the ground seven or eight feet
makes good ground" Large build
ings must have two or more such
grounds" The connecting wires
must be securely fastened to the
ground connections.
In the matter of conducting wires,
the u. s. weather bureau in a bull
letin on Lightning and Lightning Pro-
lection recommends a No. 8, galvan-
ICED iron wire Drown a. Sharpe
guage) as amply sufficient in size for
ordinary lightning protection. II me-
tallic down-spouts are used as con-
ductors, the connections should be
made with the grounds" with riveted
joints. Copper conductors give no
better protection than iron IL the iron
Is kept covered TO keep it from rust
ing.
Wire fences are often the cause of
damage by lightning because Of the
method Of construction. If the fence
wires are grounded the danger from
this cause viii disappear. Ground
wires may be made OF ordinary fence
wire and should be connected with
each Of the wires OF the fence and ex-
tend into the ground three feet. Such
grounds should be made for each
100 feet of fence.

Coronation Music.

Sir Frederick Bridge, speaking last
week at a dinner Of the Trinity College
of Music, London, England, said he
would ask for sympathy and support
In the very onerous and very honor
able task which had been entrusted
to him as director of the coronation
music.
He reioiced in the fact that music
was to play such an important part in
the coronation service. The whole
service was interluded and accompan-
led from beginning to end by music
Very few of those in the abbey would
see any of the service but they would
be able to follow it by the music. He
was proud that music was to take
so prominent a part where the other
arts would hardly be called in.

You discourage others from attending

The musical students. taking their cue
