SCHUBERT CONCERT IN GRACE
CHURCH

Su0nSn
Music for the musical, mirth for
the mirthful, and the highest enjoy
ment for ALL" is the aim of the Schu
bert Symphony club, which entertain
ed a good.sized and well-pleased aud
fence In Grace church last evening.
This little group of versatile must.
clans made a successful appearance
In Winnipeg a year ago, and last
evenings concert was even better.
They gave a programme that was ex-
tensiyely varied, Of good quality in
general, and in some numbers really
excellent. Their appeal is not so
much to the unsteady critical as to
people whose desire is merely an ey-
ening of pleasant entertainment, yet
there We're several numbers that are
found on the programmes of prima
donnas and violin virtuosi, and they
were rendered in manner that
should win praise from the severest
of critics. When the Quintette ap-
peared with m9ndolins and guitars
one forgot to be critical and just
surrendered himself to the seductive
charm OF this kind of music.
The ladies quartette is remarkable
for the contrast between the voices
OF the first soprano, Miss Leeta Cor
der, and the second contralto, Mrs.
Purcell. While both are of good
quality, the former is exceptionally
high and the latter exceedingly low.
1t Is with astonishing ease that Miss
Corder sings her high notes, which
are remarkably clear and flute-like.
With such material the formation OF
a quartette Is an easy matter. The
voices of Miss Blanche Fox and
Miss Kathryn Roberts blend we'll
with these two, and long practice to-
gether is producing very good re-
suits. The "Old Maid Song was
a captivating effort in the comic
line, while an arrangement OF Schu-
manns Traumerei was an enjoyable
piece of serious music. Thomas
Valentine Purcell, the leader of the
troup, added his bass voice in this
number as we'll as in the vocal &C.
compartments to two Scotch airs
which We're sung as encores. These
Accomplishments were not SO good
as the rest of the programme, the
arrangements not being altogether
satisfactory.
Mr.. Purcell is very capable vio-
linist, both technically and musical
ly. His tone is in general pure and
beautiful, though it was inclined to
weaken in the most difficult passages
of the Faust Fantasy" There was
also some room Tor improvement in
the harmonics. His technique ap-
peared to excellent advantage in
Tartini's "Tarentelle, which he play.
ed in a mastery manner His gen.
timely musical qualities We're display
ed in the slow movement of Moh-
que's Third Concerto. AS a mando-
Hnist he is splendid
Miss Corder's singing of the aria
in the Mad scene from Hamlet"
was one of the best efforts of the ev-
ening. Miss Fox was quite entertain
ing in her monologues, though her
rapidity Of utterance married her
otherwise good work.-Manitoba Free

obIIteratlna Field Of Waterloo

While Americans are observing the
semi-centennial of Gettysburg, and
thousands study the battle by the AID
OF the monuments and markers on the
battlefield. complaint comes to Eng
land that the Waterloo terrain is in
danger. While La Hale Sainte and
Hougomont still bear the marks OF
cannon shot. both are In danger of
being rebuilt, and part OF the Hougo-
mont wall against which the wave of
French courage dashed In vain has
already been pulled down. That Is not
the worst of the situation, according
to British officer who recently visit
ed the field. "Tramcars" and cheap
fares have been followed by 'tawdry
cafes" located on the very spot
whence the Imperial Guard recoiled.
What is to be done? The suggestion
is that cooperation of Belgians and
Englishmen who would preserve the
topography OF Waterloo many be effec-
tive in doing for that famous field
what has been done for Gettysburg, but
the first step. 1t is admitted. will be
very expensive. If preservation is not
organized there is danger that the
strategic points will be obliterated by
garden and farm field.-Boston Tran

act are also clear. The country has
sought and seen its path in this mat
ter within the last few years-see It
more clearly now than 1t ever saw It
before-much more clearly than when
the last legislative proposals on the
subject were made. We must have q
currency. not rigid as now. but readily.
elastically responsive to sound credit,
the expanding and contracting credits
of everyday transactions, the normal
ebb and flow OF personal and corporate
dealings. Our banking laws must mo-
bilize reserves: must not permit the
concentration anywhere In few hands
of the monetary resources OF the coun-
try or their use for speculative pur-
poses in such volume as to hinder or
impede or stand in the way of other
more legitimate. more fruitful uses.
And the control of the system OF bank
ing and of issue which our new laws
are to set up must be public. not pri-
vate. must be vested in tho govern
ment itself. so that the banks may be
the instruments. not the masters. of
business and of individual enterprise
and initiative.
The committees of the congress to
which legislation of this character is
referred have devoted careful and dis
passionate study to the means OF ac-
complishing these objects. They have
honored me by consulting me. They
are ready to suggest action. l have
come to you, as the head Of the gov.
ernment and the responsible leader of
the party in power. to urge action now.

PIGS WITH MULE H0oFs

A year ago residents of New Canaan.
Conn. made pilgrimages to Peter
Chicks farm to see "two-faced pig"
which proved to be hoax. Now they
are going to A. L. Benedicts place to
look at litter OF pigs, several OF
which have mule hoofs-no hoax this
time. according to Justice of the Peace
F. S. Dawless. who says he is ready
to make affidavit to 1t.
The late DR.. P. H. Hiss. the emf
nent New York bacteriologist. found
in Ohio and brought to his summer
place here a mule-faced hog which is
now owned by Edwin Bouton, superin-
tendent of the town poor farm. 1t Is
the sire of two litters of pigs. half of
them mule-hoofed or club-footed.
These mule-footed pigs are said to be
immune from hog cholera, but the
only basis for this claim seems to be
the quip that the mule in them kicks
out all the cholera germs.

GREWSoME BOOK BINDINGS

AMERICA MOVING WESTWARD

1t may be news to most people thas
North America has travelled from Eu-
rope across the Atlantic to its pres
ent position on the globe, and that II
is still moving toward China
According to the calculations OF
Professor Wegener OF Marburg. Ger
many. North America in the last
twenty-six years has moved 29b feet
away from Europe. and Greenland In
eighty-four years has travelled the ap-
preciable distance of 3.0s3 feet. also
away from Europe. Professor Veg
ener believes that this movement
westward is due to surface pressure
exerted by ice. Not only does this
pressure force the continent or island
upon which il is exerted to sink, but,
just as lot OF cakes of ice lying upon
each other in pan of water move the
lower strata OF the ice cakes side
ways, SO does surface pressure OF ice
force an island or even continent TO
move sideways. Greenland, SO much
smaller than the North American con-
tinent, and loaded down more heavily
with ice because of its northern lati-
tude, would move much more rapidly
than our own continent, as 1t actually
does. II Professor Wegener's computar
tions be correct.
II Professor Wegener be right. then
1t is not merely possible but probable
that America and Europe were at ono
time either one and the same CONT
nent or SO close together than even
the rude craft and meager seamanship
of the early Hebrews and Phoenicians
could carry men and women from one
continent to the other.
The average breadth of the Allan
tic ocean is about 5000 miles. Each
mile contains $3.50 feet. A simple
arithmetical problem gives us the ex-
traordinary result that, supposing
North America to have travelled at
the same speed in the past as in the
present, 1t took our continent 1,396.000
years to accomplish the journey to Its
present site. The idea is a fantastic
one. 1t suggests that in about 2000.-
900 years, If the present speed be
kept up. the Pacific coast of America
may bump against Japan and China.
thus obliterating the Pacific ocean or
leaving it merely chain of lakes.
