Suddenly there was a long,
piercing yell. 1t was from the

The niilkpan's wife was reused
from her sleep by another gurg-

by the shoulders, she awakened
him.
A"What on earth is the matter

you here?" the old resident at the
asylum whispered cautiously to
the newcomer.

FITS CRIES TO PSALMS

LONDON, May IS. Babies who cry
have found their champion.
An infant when in tears, n has just
been found. emits certain musical
sounds which can easiy be harmonized
into the form Of a chant or even sec
ular song
This singular discovery has been
made by Rev n Bonavia Hunt Gu
rate Of ST Matthews church, Wiiesden
who has composed a chant founded
upon the wailing cries of infants
This chant will be sung tomorrow at
St. Matthews church as setting to the
words OF Psalm 1877. beginning; BY the
waters of Babylon we sat down and
wept"
How he came to write such strange
chant was explained yesterday by Mr.
Hunt, who has been at St. Matthews foi
over six years
During my stay in this parish have
naturally had to conduct many hap
tisms, he said Being of a musica
turn Of mind. it occurred to me that the
cries of the babies were remarkably
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-05-18

similar and rose and fen in the same
cadences.
"Childrens cries always come down
like the siren of a steamer. while
found that the sequence of the notes
were usually seconds or sevenths. and
in a few cases. sixths. Why not at
tempt to harmonic the cries into
chant which should he a true reflex of
human sorrow and emotion? So / set
to work and wrote the chant, which
only consists of ten consecutive chords
The treble is like the babys cry. the
alto is a more subdued wall, while the
bass and tenor represent as far as pos
sible the sorrowful cries of adults In
listening to the wailing of babies 1
have found very little difference be-
tween boys and girls. except that the
former may be a little stronger and
more lusty"
Mr Hunt played over the chant on
the organ at St. Matthews church The
treble is remarkably like the wailing
cries of a baby, rising and falling in
