MUSIC AND HEALTH
Influence Was Recognized Even
in Biblical Times.
Through Medium Of Nervous System
Marvellous Changes, Physical ard

by Tonal Vibrations.

The power of music to influence the
health of the listener has been recog-
nized from early times and became
historical in the attempts OF David to
drive out Sauls distemper. We be-
lieve no one has been bold enough to
ascribe any direct influence of tonal
vibration upon the material OF the
body, but through the medium of the

first TO come out Cor the position and
had had experience.
In connection with the meeting OF
the National Negro Business league,
at Boston. the New York Post pub
fishes some figures relative to the
commercial progress OF the Negro dur
ing the last Is years. In 1900 there
were in this country 10000 Negro busi-
ness enterprises; In 1915 over $4,000.
In 1900 Negroes operated two banks;
1915, over fifty. In 1900 there were
10000 Negro retail merchants: 1915,
over 10000. During the same period
the value OF farm property held by
Negroes has increased proportionate-
ly. The value OF domestic animals adj
vanced from ss5.0e0.0o0 TO si77,oo0.-
OG0; poultry. sS.soo.00o TO $4,000 1000;
implements and machinery, sls,5o0ooo
TO s36,soo.0 900; land and buildings, $685.
s00,O to s27s.500.o0o. The percent
age OF increase ranges from SO per
cent to 29.3.
Much OF this progress Is credited TO
the influence OF Booker T. Washing
ton. Tuskegee institute. and to like
institutions. which have stood for yo-
cational training At Tuskegee and
the other schools which have been
modelled after It's plan. emphasis Is
laid on such courses as blacksmithing,
dairying. poultry raising. etc. which
fit the student for Immediately re-
muneratiye employment. In his ad-
dress before the Negro business men

his audience 70 take up truck farm

Copper mines is now turning out nit
rio acid. According to telegram re-
ceiyed by the officials from Superin-
tendent Archie ]. Orem the nitric acid
furnace is making 81 pounds of nitric
acid per horsepower per day, which
result, he adds, is exceptionally high,
says the Salt Lake Tribune.
This furnace for the extraction of
nitrogen from the air and converting
1t into nitric acid was started up about
September A, but owing to some me-
chanical difficulties growing out of the
furnace construction 1t had to be re-
built, causing some weeks delay.
In a letter dated September 20 the
superintendent states:
For two days the furnace has been
making acid at the rate of about 1900
pounds in "a hours, at a cost of lit
tie less than cents per pound.

interests of the Japanese in China
the government Of japan is nor great

posed to return to a monarchy, be,

Japan will have no cause to complain

Mr.. Hioki, the Japanese minister to

the choice for the new emperor he
finds that some prefer Emperor Hsuan

thinks that public opinion is generally

Chinese generally consider them un.
