INITIATES BIRD NOTES
IN ILLUSTRATED LECTURE
Charles Crawford Gorst Talks on
"The Musical Genius of Birds" at
new National Museum.

o An audience containing 4 great many
children was immensely pleased with
the illustrated" lecture on The Mu-
Charles Crawford Gorst. at the eight
eenth annual meeting of the Audubon
Society of the District, held last night
in the New National Museum. During
the course of the evening the lecturer
demonstrated that he could initiate the
notes of about all the birds that fly.
There is a great diversity of opin-
ion as to whether bira music is mu-
stands Chopin, who placed his piano in
the woods, that he might hear the
birds. In general it may be said that
birds music is somewhat like ours and
somewhat different. Both are the ex-
pressions of the beautiful by notes.
Mans music is divided into phrases,
and so is the BIRDS
"Illustrates'' Bird Songs.
The lecturer illustrated" this latter
point by showing the similarity be-
tween the construction of Home, Sweet
Home" and several bird songs. He
demonstrated that birds songs have or
der and organization, as well as hu-
man songs.
A curious system of original notation,
by which he remembers the bird songs
he hears, was explained by the speaker.
He declared that in time he hopes to
be able to whistle duet, and showed
he was on the right track by whistling
Octaves, both the lower and upper reg
lister being perfectly rendered.
Judge Job Barnard, who presided, was
reelected president of the society; Miss
Helen p. Childs was reelected Secre-
tary, and Miss Mary Brickenstein was
reelected treasurer. Reports were
read by the two latter.
