Of those curious relics Of bygone times

First international Band Contest


The earliest record Of an interna-
tional band contest is Of one held In
the year 1720 between the bands OF
Handel and Buononcini, gifted 1tal-
ian composer, who by his friends and
admirers was declared to be infinitely
superior to the German master. The
king headed the partisans OF the Ger
man and the Prince Of Wales those OF
the Italian artist. The controversy has
been perpetuated in the lines Of John
Byron, popular poet Of his day:
Some say. compared to Buononcini.
That Mynheer Handel's but a ninny.
Others aver that he to Handel
Is scarcely fit to hold a candle.
Strange all this difference should be
'Twixt tweedledun and tweedledee.
An international Land contest on d
much larger scale was held in connec'
ton with the Paris exhibition Of 1867
in which selected bands from Austria
Bavaria, Baden, Belgium, France, Hol-
land, Spain and Russia competed in
the presence Of $4,000 visitors. Russia
took the first prize, closely followed by
France and Austria.-London Standard.

"Srother Jcnathan.n

The origin Of the term Brother Jon.
G:nan" as applied to She United States
is as follows: When General Wash.
ington. after being appointed COM
mander of the army of the Revolution
ary war. went to Massachusetts to or
ganize it he found (; great want OF am
munition and other means Of defense.
and on one occasion it seemed that nc
means could be devised for the neces-
sary safety.
Jonathan Trumbull, the elder, was
the governor of the state Of Connect
cut, and the general, placing the great
est reliance on his e1cellency's judg.
ment, remarked, I'VE must consult
Brother Jonathan on the subject. The
general did so, and the governor was
successful in supplying many Of the
wants Of the army. ThenceforWarf
when difficulties arose and the army
was spread over the country It became
a byphrase, I'VE must consult Brother
Jonathan" and the name has now be-
come designation for the whole
country as John Bull has for England.

EIe,haots Asleep.

A question often raised IN regard 10
the African elephant is whether TINS
animal ever rests or not At first blush
it would appear that there could only
be one answer TO the question 50
huge IN animal must eNpend terrific
amount of energy and therefore, as one
might reasonably infer, must need
more time than smaller animals for
rest and re4nvigoratiou. Nevertheless
many travellers and some naturaliStS
have asserted that the African elephant
II its native state never sleeps cr ct
least never lies down. y correspond
ca: who has sent photographs from

communication that accompanies taem
that tie picture represents herd OF
female elephants Photographed IN the
Bush near NL;ilek. in the Mosalla prov

has been maintained that the African
elephant never lies down to rest. Sew

The EIy's Buzz In Music.

It was Mendelssohn who first put
fairies into the orchestra, and that
composers incidental music to "a Mid
summer Nights Dream" is surely the
happiest accompaniment to Shake
speare's play. But there is more than
the revels Of fairies in Mendelssohn's
work. There is the buzzing Of dy
which one day In the summer OF 1926
few about Mendelssohn's head as he
lay on the grass with friend in the
Schonhauser garden, Berlin, planning
the overture AS the fly buzzed by
Mendelssohn said "Hushr' and listened
intently for time. Afterward, when
the overture was finished. the compos-
er pointed to the modulation Of the
cellos from B minor to T sharp minor
in the middle section and said, There;
that's the Schonhauser fy." That over
ture has become one Of the worlds
musical classics, and Mendelssohn was

Colo, Sensations.

Color Is very commonly looked upon
as definite quality. This. however,
is only partly true. The more correct
and scientific concept of color is that
it Is simply the name Of q certain
group Of sensations by which we are
affected. Thus we say the rose is
red" 1t IS more correct to say "the
rose produces in US the sensation we
call redness a man who is color
blind will declare that it is green.
showing that the color is not in the
thing. but in the perception Of it. So
far, therefore. from retaining their
color in the dark. objects cannot prop
erly be said to possess it even in the
light. The rose is red" really means
that the size and arrangement OF its
surface molecules are such as to re-
feet that particular part Of the spec
trum which we have agreed to call red.
In the dark it is simply black or COL
orless, though it retains its capacity
for again exciting in us the sensation
Of redness on being restored to the
light, just as an empty glass retains
its capacity for being realled.

That Easy Ihree Hundred.

Soon after Senator John Sharp Will
liams arrived in Washington some
years ago as a member Of the house OF
representatives q man on the staff Of 4
magazine approached him with re-
quest for an interview Of . thousand
words on the outlook for the Demo
cratic party. Rejecting that at that
time the outlook was anything but
bright, Williams said:
"I'll dictate it to my stenographer
and mail 1t to you"
4 month later the magazine man
stepped up to Williams and handed
him check for $500.
"Is that for me?" asked Williams
quizzically.
'Yes, sir
what for?"
"For that article you wrote for US on
the outlook for Democracy"
.And this is authorship" unused the
lawmaker, smiling. Well, it's the
only easy money ever made. What's
the use Of being q patriot anyhow

Po;soas In the Stomach.

A most curious fact is that al food
contains the elements CT poison. anu
in ocr body poiSoIs are manufactured
from these. For instance. meat. FISH.
cheese and milk are composed OF by
drogen. carbon, nitrogen and oxygen.
Take away the last and you have pruS-
sic acid. We do not manufacture
prussic acid. it is true. But il every
stomach in the world fermentation
goes on just as in brewery. and the
poisonous carbonic acid IS made n
large quantities. If you hreathed a
few days output Of carbonic acid gas
you would inevitably die. Sulphpret-
ed hydrogen is one Of the most deadly
gases known, yet in every stomach 1t
is made at one time or another. In the
stomach all food is converted into
what we call 'peptone," and If very
small quantity Of this found its way
into the blood it would kill as surely
as prussic acid.-Pearson's Weekly.

Bulls In the House Of Commons.

He.aas.- VITA Jewel casketa

Every great race horse in England
has his special toilet case. marked with
his name and provided with a special
lock. Each animal has his own basins,
pans and pals for the toilet. bis feed
ing. utensils, brushes and combs.
4 race horse has many sets Of towels
Of various grades and has blankets OF
various weights for all wcathers. These
are marked and numbered and are
kept beautifully clean and we'll aired.
The belongings Of the horse are carried
about in his toilet case when travel
ing.
Besides all this luxury, every great
horse nowadays must have a jewel
case, and with age and success the
collection frequently becomes very
valuable. In tue casket. which is a
compartment Of the box. are kept the
various trinkets presented by admirers.
These consist largely Of articles Of
wear, such as brides finished in silver
and gold, silver chained and mounted
halters, and combs and brushes mount
ed in handsome style.-London Tit
