CRIES OF BABIES MUSICAL
Discovery Of a London Curate Who
Has Christened Many
Infants.

London.-Music for Psalm 1877, by
the Waters of Babylon We Sat-" was
inspired entirely, says the composer,
from hearing babies cry at baptismal
services"
The composer Is the Rev. Noel b.
navia-Hunt, who has been for six
years the senior curate OF st. Mat
thew's Church, Willesden, a London
suburb. During his six years at st.
Matthew's the senior curate has chris
tened many Willesden babies, and con-
trary to the generality OF mankind he
found music in their walls.
Il was SO impressed" he says. with
the musical qualities of the cries that
l considered they ought to be recorded
in some way. l also wished to write
a chant which was original.
Nov l claim thai this composition
is original and at the same time mu-
steal and not grotesque. 1t represents
more or less the meaning OF the words
to which 1t is set, BY the Waters OF
Babylon We Sat Down and Wept:
When We Remembered Thee, o Sion.'

Liberty of MosIem Women Of
Short Duration.
Halt 10 Called on Movement Started
by Young Turks-Order for Using
Thicker Face Coverings 10
Enforced.

Constantinople.-The movement for
the emancipation Of Turkish women,
which under the regime Ct the Young
Turks gained considerable momen.
tum, has now received a serious set
back.
Encouraged by the Young Turks,
women permitted themselves greater
liberty Of movement and In a short
time it was no uncommon thing to
see husbands and wives riding In the
same carriage. A woman's club with
a membership from the best Moslem
families was formed and courses OF
lectures and literary evenings were
given under it's auspices. Education
for girls received attention and a
school for girls under the patronage
OF the president Of the chamber was
founded, while funds were provided
for training teachers.
The problem of the veil was in
fiuenced by the prevailing liberal ten
denotes and In a short time, al
though no one ventured to discard II
entirely, 1t was so ~attenuated In many
cases as to be little better than an
apology for a veil. Many women
while in the European quarter Of the
city wore the veil flung back over
their heads.
These reforms were not received
with good grace by the more con.
servative Turks. who not only regard
their women as without souls, but
object to any exhibition whatever OF
their bodies.
This profound distrust 500 reacted
on the government and the Young
Turks. The reformers found their
tolerant attitude toward their women
folks aspirations was Strengthening
the opposition and especially lending
point to the argument that they were
not true believers. Nothing did more
to add to the prestige Of the %conserva.
tive Turks than the charge that the
Young Turks were no longer good
Moslems.

ly by the wailing of babes and the
general cry of human beings"
1t seems that babes when they cry,
in church at any rate, do so at certain
musical intervals, sevenths, sixths or
seconds. Boys cry louder than girls.
All crying can be reduced to musical
notes. and the cries OF people OF al
ages differ very little.
Mr.. Bonavia-Hunt claims that his
setting OF the %penitential psalm con-
tains two of the intervals at which
babies cry and %reproduces with con-
siderable fidelity, when played on the
organ, the long drawn wailing OF In
fants mingled with the cries OF men
and women.

MICROBE OF CANCER
DISCOVERED IN PARIS

PARIS, France, Aug. 13.-Dr. Gas
ton Odin of Paris today declared that
he had solved the mystery of cancer
by discovering its microbe.
Doctor Odin's discovery is vouched
for as authentic by Professor Matru-
chol, head of the 'cryptogramic botany
section of SorbOnne university, and is
hailed by Professor Lannois of the
school of medicine as a remarkable
discovery.
Doctor Odin says he not only found,
but succeeded in isolating and cult
waiting the microbe, which is blood
microbe. 1t is parasitical organ
ism, Transforming, developing and re-
producing itself in a variety of forms
passing imagination. No pronounce
ment on the discovery has yet been
made by the medical profession gen
orally, pending the receipt of further
details, but Doctor Odin is confident
serum he has prepared will do for
cancer what Jenner's vaccine has
done for small pOX.
One of the most startling statements
made by Doctor Odin is a warning
against contact with cancerous peo-
pie, saying cancer is as infectious as
any other miCrObe disease.
