Suspension Bridge 10 Shifted.

An important feat Of unusual diff.
guilty has just been performed by the
department of bridges in shifting the
cables of the Williamsburg bridge
from supporting steel pins of ten
inches in diameter, twenty-eight inches
In length and one thousand pounds In
weight to nickel steel bar Of thirteen
inches in diameter, forty and one-half
inches in length and eighteen hun
dred pounds in weight-all with less
than two hours interruption to rail
and vehicle traffic. This terminates a
work of almost three years, by which
the longest suspension bridge in the
world has been rehung, with addition
al trusses, uprights and cross beams,
exactly doubling its supporting
strength. The changes became nee
essary through the new subway
scheme of which the Williamsburg
bridge is to be the central link. The
span carries six tracks, two for SUBJ
way or elevated and four for street
cars.-New York Letter to the Pitts

erroneous.

Vesuvius Still Hotter.

The temperature inside Nj. We
s~uvius, which is unascertainable by
ordinary thermometrical methods, has
recently been measured in novel fash
ion by the Munich geologist, Storz,,
who descended the crater Of the vol
cano for the purpose.
He dropped a thin wire cable with
an iron weight at the end into the
crater. Affixed to the wire we're metal
cylinders made Of lead, zinc and anti
mony, which melt respectively at tenn,
peratures of 626. 1888 and 1,166 de-
grees Fahrenheit. :
Having been let down into the
mouth Of the volcano, the lead melted
at a depth Of 33 feet, the zinc at 40
feet and the anthony at ITS feet 6
inches. :
A yellow smoke vent inside the
crater had a temperature of only 294
degrees in 1911, 627 degrees in 1912,
and 1872 degrees in 1913. From this
fact 1t Is concluded that a fresh OUT
break of Vesuvius may be imminent.

Not a Battle Lost,

Boston Globe: Sp~ectacularly and
continuously successful has been the
career Of Pancho Villa since he enter
ed Mexico from FL Paso on a bor-
rowed horse with $3.50 and a revolver
to start a revolution.
During the past eighteen months he
has captured the following cities: Tor
reon (frst time), Juarez, Ojinaga, Chi
huahua, Gomez Palacio, Torreon
(second time), San Pedro, Saltillo and
Zacatecas.
Battles we're fought at all those
places, excepting Chihuahua, and none
was lost.
The Characterization Of the rebel
general as the Mexican Napoleon is
not wholly inept.
He already has Huerta shaking in
his boots between drinks, and the
hours of the Victoriano at the capital
appear to be numbered.

Robin H. Legge, the critic, writes in
the London Daily Telegraph: "One
has often pointed out that with two
operas in progress at the same time
and some forty or fifty concerts during
the week, the critic is particularly busy
just now. But nevertheless he finds
time to notice most musical events.
In the name, therefore, of my collea-
CUES and myself 1 would ask those
concert givers who prefer writing their
own notices Several of which have re-

SUMMER STORY FROM
GEORGE HAMLIN, TENOR.

The Berlin correspondent of Haen-
sci & Jones of the Aeolan hall, New
York wired the following to his firm:
George Hamlin, one of the leading
tenOrS Of the Chicago-PhiIadelphia
Grand Opera company, who is appear
ing here in a series of lieder recitals,
announced today that he intends to
become a literary person" and write
pieces for the newspapers.
1T is reported among the studios Of
Berlin" says Mr.. Hamlin, that my old
friend, George AIDE, author Of count
less Fables in Slang has engaged a
singing teacher and is preparing to
enter grand opera as a tenor. l con-
slider this a direct attempt on AIDES
part to steal my business so l have
dashed Off a fable in slang which l
hope you will print-it may cause
George AIDE to think twice before he
e~ncrOaches on my chosen field of en-
deavor.
My first fable in slang, continued
Mr.. Hamlin, " is entitled How Nero
Got By AS a Singer and runs as fol-
lows:
when Nero, the Roman Emperor,
made his debut as a singer, to his own
cithara accOmpiment, he had his sue
cess insured. In the bright lexicon
VI Tx IL pei d yOullI IllSIS was no
such word as fail" He averted such
a possibility by inauaurating a method
which even at this late date is still in
use and has helped many a grand
opera singer get by. Shush! business
Of Whispering) Nero invented the ella
que.
| hold no brief for Nero, nor am l
trying to add another bit of infamy
10 his already cheCkered career. But
as a singer he was a wise guy. He
did not stage his initial performance
in Rome but tried his work out on the
dog over at Naples.
Several bands of lusty young Napo-
l1tans were rehearsed to applaud and
the applause was arranged to come
in three degrees: The bombi, or hum
hail as on a tin roof n the clashing
of porcelain vessels together. The
claQue was letter perfect.
And did Nero make good?
He did.
Night after night the human bees
hummed sWeetly in Nero's ears, the
hail battered and the vessels clashed
with joyful tumult. And the very best
people in Naples fell for the glad clam
or and added their plaudits to swell the
enthusiasm. Nero's golden voice"
was SAID 10 De decidedly classy.
The news Of Nero's Neapolitan
knockout travelled to the Eternal City
and messengers were sent to implore
the possessor of the heavenly voice
to return the the citizens of Rome
might hear the imperial harmony.
Nero graCiOusly consented to give a
request performance" in his home
town n he took claque with
him. His first appearance in the seven
hilled city was a riot-a copper rivet-
ted cinch.
Moral: A little boosting doesn't
hurt.

j. Austin Williams, conducted a
voice round table at the recent meet
ing of the Minnesota association Of
music teachers. Caryl B. Storrs says
of it:
u. Austi Williams led at a very
lively and entertaining occasion, as
well Is n which brought out many
valuable expressions of professional
opinion. The question as to which is
most important to a singer, voice or
the power of Interpretation elected a
spirited discussion. OF ourse the ans
wer to the question is that the perfect
singer must have the two qualities in
balance. but the widely diverse opin-
ions regarding the relative value Of
the two created much amusement.
Many thought that if either voice or
Interpretation were lacking in a voice,
they would rather hear the good in
depreciation by an Indifferent voice;
while others believed hat a superb,
sonorous, magnifcently toned voice
was sufficient to cover a multitude of
interpretative sins. Blanche Marchesl
and Ludwig Wilmer were cited as
great vocal artists who were lacking
in voice, while Caruso and Titta Ruffo
were instanced as phenomenal vocal
lists whose accomplishments were
physical rather than mental. Other
technical questions in regard to tone
production and vocal work generally
were ~propounded and discussed.
