might figure that up-compute the mih-
ions OF dollars which are invested In the
various branches Of the music trades, IKE

and publication estimate the NUMBER Oh

their distribution. SO, too, II might DC

city's Inhabitants the practice or the art
In its many phases yields hVehhoop.
The figure would run into the tens OIL
thousands, no doubt-concert perform
ers, orchestra players, bandsmen' chureh
choristers, employees of opera houses, inc
aires and concert halls. Surely the earn

Music as a Municipal Asset

for the lover and student Of music the
value Of the impulses which go out TO
them from the city's musical activities?
Who shall send a plummet down into
their hearts and tell us Of the fathoms
of happiness derived from the music
made not only in the public places OF
amusement but in the hundreds Of thou
sands Of homes? Who shall assay the
weight and nneness Of the influences
which proceed from our many admirable
music schools and teachers? Is IT pos
sible to find a standard of measurement
by which the worth Of the artistic at
mosphere which is created by such per-
formances as those of the Metropolitan
Opera Company. the Philharmonic and
symphony societies. the Kneisel and
Flonzaley quartets shall be gagged? Yet
that atmosphere Is an asset Of New
York in respect Of its educational advan-
tages
Even II we were now at the end Of our
speculations IN this direction, after CIV
ing unbounded fight to fancy and imagi-
nation there would remain something
which. II still more Intangible, is yet still
more real. Does any one know, can any

enjoyment Of music, even when disso-

do that is surely an asset. / am not a

BOUGHT A BAD BOAT
University of Pennsylvania's Unfor-
 tunate Purchase

From tfe Baltimore Sun.
 When the University of Pennsylvania recently decided to send a scientific ex- petition tc South America the steam yacht Mermaid was bought for the pur- pose.
 One lock at its nice, shiny, white-enam- eled null, and the university authorities paid Elisha Webb. Jr., S6J0O for the vessel It was towed to Camden to have an ad- ditional coat of green copper paint put on the hull The superintendent looked 1t over carefully with surprised air: then 1t was tenderly coaxed out of the water and on to the marine railway. A workman took hold of a plank on it's side and pulled it off Another workman nonchalsntly punched hole in the vessel with his fist. Later an effort was made to burn the plankinG and the ribs re- moved from the ship. They refused to burn
 Investigation disclosed the fact that the former owner of the gallant craft paid $500 fo- her about six months ago. The purchasers of the vessel which had been destined to carry Dr. Algot Lange down to the coast of South America and LID to the Amazon nearly to it's source. went to Mir Webb and demanded their money back They were informed they could nave It IT they returned the ship in the shape in which they had received it. This could not be done. so the ship builders arc going to repair the vessel and 1t will go south after all. A con servative estimate of the cost of repairs places tho ultimate cost of the yacht to It's lates- owners at s25.C0O. A new vessel could be built for s16,000. The total sum that the university and it's friends have subscribed for the three years trip of Dr. Lange is s35.O00.
 The yacht Is nearly 70 years old hav- ing been built in Maine in 1873 for Law renee (Mass.) distiller. The life of wood en vessel as computed by yacht brokers. Is from 15 to 20 years. Vessels older than that are officially dead" When it first sailed the seas the Mermaid was named Ibis, and was q brigantine; that is to say, it was a two-nnasted sail ing vessel. square rigged on the man- mast and schooner rigged on the mizzen or rear mast.

 Illustrative of Froests good nature. the following story may be told Many chanced to be in London together. awaiting the extradition of criminals who had been arrested in England for offenses committed in the United States. The hotel Victoria was then American headquarters in London, and one evening the two hawkshaws. who had had a convivia1 day. fell asleep side by side on divan in the big smok- ing room of the hostelry.
