The chorus and ballet were as fine as

After all, the chorus and ballet form

JOAN OF ARC"
IS HEARD AGAIN
Oratorio Society Presents
BOSSi'S Work at Car
negie Hall

Enrico Bossis Joan OF Arc" which
was presented by the Oratorio Society
last season for the first time in Amer
lea, was repeated last night at Carnegie
Hall. IT took some courage to present
this work, and it took probably more to
repeat it, the size both Of last years
and last nights audience sttesting to
the fact that novelty is not desired in
the field OF the oratorio. Yet Joan Of
Arc" is a work Of many fine qualities
and some even noble ones. II is I'M
equal in merit, but in It's best pages,
such as the coronation scene, II rises
10 heights Of real beauty. Oratorio is
not a popular form Of musical art in
the Italy of to-day, yet Sgnor Bossi
has produced a work worthy Of serious
consideration.
Tho performers were exactly the
same as those OF last season. Assist
ing the society's chorus was the boy
chorus from the churches Of St. An
drew and 81. Edward the Martyr. The
chief soloists were Miss Marie sun
delius. Morgan Kingston and Clifford
Cairns, and the whole performance
was under the direction OF Louis
koemmenich.
The singing OF the 0ratorio chorus
was. as a rule, admirable, though there
were a few moments OF hesitancy in
attack. The boy choir was particu-
larly effective. and IL was possible to
understand nearly all Of the words
when it was singing. The diction OF
the three chief solo artists was only
moderately good Mr.. Cairns being the
most successful. Miss Sundelius was
admirable in her medium, but her up
per notes sounded strained, while Mr.
kingston rigid method Of singing did
not mike for beauty Of utterance. Mr..
Cairns was excellent. as he knew the
style of the music and his voice was
clear and easily produced. Mr.. Koem-
menich conducted throughout with

son for High Price
FUEL ECONOMY IS
URGED AT MEETING
Speaker Tells How Power
Often Discarded Is Used
in Cement Plant

one reason for the high price Of
coal which the New York dealers en-
tirely overlooked was brought out yes
torday by Victor J. Abe before the
American Society Of Mechanical Engi-
neers, which is holding its national
convention in the Engineering Socie-
ties Building, 20 West Thirty-ninth
Street. Mr.. Abe has been keeping
tally on what becomes OF tho 100000
600 tons Of coal mined annually in the
United States. A good share OF 1t, he
has found, goes up in smoke without
doing anybody any good.
Suppose the average cost Of this
delivered at power plants, is Sl.8O a
Ton" said Mr. Abe Then the total
cost would be 81 ,OsO,OOO,OOO. In ordi-
nary power plants preventable losses
aggregate about 80 per cent, or 1924
100000 a year, TO say nothing OF the
natural gas and crude oil burned and
wasted. II everything were computed
the annual loss would exceed $780,
100000"
Urges Study Of Fuel Economy
The speaker urged the engineers 10
name a committee TO study fuel econ
omy in power plants. Arthur d. Pratt
said that waste heat from open hearth
furnaces, coke ovens and cement kllns
was being used in several plants Tor
producing steam TO run engines and

special construction.

produces $4,000 worth OF powe; year
Is by using waste heat he explained.
Lieutenant Commander II. {. Dinger,
L. :. n, told the society that the gov
eminent was looking to the mechan-
ical engineer for solving the problem
Of obtaining the maximum power out
Of every pound OF coal or gallon Of
crude oil stored in the hulls Of war
vessel.
lie said that this was not merely a
matter Of money economy, but econ
omy OF space. as every type OF war
craft had TO be built with reference TO
the greatest possible speed.
High Stage Now Reached
A. 4. Potter and W A. Buck, who
have been making experiments with
traction engines, said that these ma
chimes had been brought TO such a
stage of perfection and cheapness that
they could now outstrip the horse in
farm work.
Mr. Buck stated that traction en-
gines of from 10 to so horsepower when
working at full capacity required three
fourths Of pint of gasolene horse
powcr an hour lie said an equal
amount Of kerosene, costing one-half
less than gasolene, would do the same
work.
"The horse is now being driven from
the city, and rural sections will soon
have no use for him." Mr.. Potter re-
marked. within few years the horse
will be a society pet. He will MI no
utilitarian need except as an article of
food"
