ARITHMETIC OF MUSIC.
Piano Note Vibrations Range From 32
 to 4,O96 Per Second.

to 4,O96 Per Second.
 The pitch of musical tone can be calculated arithmetically. While the human voice in song is something of an unknown problem. the notes of a musical instrument are adjusted ac- cording to the number of vibrations per second made by each note. The shorter, finer and tenser the piano string the greater the vibratOry speed and higher the pitch: the longer. coars- CT and less tense the string the slower the vibrations and lower the pitch.
 The human ear becomes sensible to sound when vibrations have a speed of sixteen per second. As the vibrations increase the pitch ascends until 36.OOO are attained, when the result is inaudi- ble. The practical range on the piano is from 32 vibrations to 4,096.
 Thirty two vibrations is the number designated for the note of c, three oc- taves below middle c on the piano The next c has twice the number of vtbrations-64: the next twice that 128; the next 256. being middle c. Doubling again for the ascending Oc- taves. the successive C's vibrate, re- spectvely, 512. 1,O24, 2,O4S and 4,O96 times per second. The pitch of the intervening notes is regulated propor tionally according to the chromatic scale. .Ht gT4 x:
 These figures have not always been the same. The early instrument mak- CTS of Europe had many disputes con- corning the measurement of the mu- sical strings and pipes that determined the pitch.
 The A string of the violin gives the tuning note for orchestras., On the pi- ano it is the first A above middle C. From early times to the middle of the nineteenth century this pitch note va rted from BIT to 445 vibrations per sec Ond, but 435 proved to be the most ac- ceptable pitch.
 In close calculations temperature has some influence. so that some experts do not advocate striving for greater accuracy than within five vibrations for the pitch note.
 The celebrated high o of the soprano voice has a vibration of 1,O24. There is record of woman, LucreZia Aju gari. who is vouched for by Mozart to have reached an octave above. thereby causing her vocal cords to vibrate at a speed of 2,O4S times per second.-Har per's Weekly.
