to collapse any moment Butler turn

me information that outside OF this

pose to adjourn this meeting to the

Music and the Hair.

Though IL per cent of all musicians
are bald. IT appears that this is the re-
suit of exposure TO the wrong musical
vibrations NJ. Henri de Parville, the
French physicist, is credited with the
theory that the well known action OF
music on the nervous system affects
the nutrition OF the bodily tissues and
thus has an influence on the hair, and
1t is claimed that observations support
this view The influence however, Is
not always the same. All male plan
lists have a wealth of hair, and 1t is
foun6 that playing the piano and vio-
lin have a specially beneficial effect,
as do also, in less degree, the violon-
cello, the harp and the double bass
Players of the flute and clarinet get
much less hirsute stimulation, their
locks showing a very perceptible thin
ming by the age of fifty. The harm
done is among players of brass instru-
ments, aud those who make much use
of the cornet and the horn advance ra-
pidly toward badness, while players
of the trombone lose at least 60 per
cent of their hair in about FIVE years

Graphite.

Chemically graphite is very inter
esting bsdy and Is known as one or

Carbon. like the magicians Of ol6, has
the power under proper conditions OF
assuming various forms called allo-
tropic notifications without losing its
individuality So while its properties
and appearance may have changed 1t
is still chemically carbon and nothing
but carbon As ordinarily met with In
the form of coke. coal and charcoal, 1t
is called amorphous carbon, as graphite
it is called graphite carbon, and in the
form of the diamond it is known as
crystalline carbon. Coal Is therefore
very aptly termed black diamonds" J."
