Prussian influence, he says, had begun
its work of Capitalization and appro-
priation of all interests. The spirit
of the nouveau richie which entered
with the French milliards had begun
to affect the appearance of the Ger
man cities Towns like Weimar had
become "literally cities of the dead"
Nuremberg in 1876 was still redolent OF
the Middle Ages; in less than ten years
some of its most interesting relics had
disappeared. So Leipsic-the Thomas
schulz had been torn down. There was
nothing to show that the house Of
Bach ever stood there. The Church of
81. Thomas had been "restored"-"in
the most spick and span style of bad
Gothic" THE Johanniskirche, where
Bach lies buried, was similarly hacked
and hewed into up-t. ate Snug pro

those who live at its base. This Dome,

bought this peak for a state reserva-
ton, and built a good road for auto
mobiles and carriages to a point less

The broad, we'll paved main street
OF the town parallels the Housatonic
River, on either side of which lie high
lands crowned with beautiful homes.
The attractive business centre has fine
blocks and well furnished stores that
would do credit TO a town OF three
times its size for this is a trading
centre for several smaller towns. The
town is the posscssor of three fine
church properties. The new Roman
Catholic church Of white marble is
notable feature in the landscape, while
St. James's Episcopal, with its parish
house, is as good bit of church
architecture as one can find in a days

Church, chapel, cloister and manse,
makes an imposing pile Of blue doo-

THE LATE ALEXANDER SCRIABIN AND
HIS WORK AS PIANIST AND COMPOSER

cusses the subject In his customary
vigorous fashion. So far IS eolors arc
concerned, he points odt that the
analogies between then and music
have depended thus far chiefly on ex-
periments made with blind persons, all
of whom had read a great deal and
had imbibed ideas Of color from their
reading or from conversations with
persons who could both see and hear.
They tell US nothing about any possible
ratio existing between the vibrations
Of the atmosphere which reach our
eyes as color and those which reach
our ears as sound, which would seem
to be the most likely way Of establish
ing an analogy between music and
colors. Mr.. Runciman has little pa
thence with the notion that there can
be a synthesis of tones and odors. IL
is his contention that the most that
odors can do is to call up past expert
ences by association. But this brings
personal equation into the field, with
an utterly ruinous effect upon the
theory of concurrent symphonies OF
tone. color and odor. as Scriabin de-
scribed his ideal. "The aesthetic value
OF a smell,' says Mr.. Runciman--"if
aesthetic it can be called-is purely
arbitrary; and the messages sent
through the nostril to the brain, or the
thoughts and emotions aroused in the
brain by any one odor, are not the
same in any two cases" At last Mr..
Runciman sums up his discussion thus:
"But music is the voice Of man, and
every stirring of the human soul. II IT
be expressed in music at all, must be
expressed lyrically in song; when
music ceases to be song il ceases TO
be music What Scriabiu and Schon-
berg offer us is something that is not
music, and it is not in the proper sense
of the word meant to be music. IL may
turn out TO be better than music, but
that is hardly conceivable so long as
they are trying to make kind OF

Toward the realization of this ideal

We spent all our forenoons at the

This course was laid out BY r. ID.

golf loving public in general. The
club grounds comprise 200 acres, stu

clubhouse contains a large assembly
