CELLO PLAYING HARD WORK
Energy Are Necessary to Play
Single Selection.

A simple air played on the violon
cello calls for a total expenditure OF
energy equal to two and three-quartel
pounds per note or more than four tons
of energy for the single selection, notes
Popular Science Monthly. This is
vouched for by Prof. POffenberger OF
Columbia university, who made some
experiments in his laboratory with the
aid of the famous Dutch 'cellist
Michael Penha.
A special apparatus is necessary to
conduct the tests. Against the surface
of a revolving carbon cylinder is sus-
pended chalk point which is actuated
by a slender wire attached to the
musicians finger. AT each pressure
the tension vibrates along the COM
municating connection and records the
energy expended.
At a recent test Michael Penha at
times raised the point to a distance
equaling three pounds in weight, that
being the record of the forefnger The
pressure alone required to produce the
Enthusiastically luscious tones of a
simple Bach aria averaged two and
three-quarter pounds per note. The
total energy expended amounted to
9,414 pounds, or more than four tons.
This same amount of energy would
be sufficient to carry laborer through
his entire days work. Yet it took but
five minutes for the artist to exert the
same amount of force.

quick end of it all, and saved him
self and the dog further pain. But
he could not. Who could shoot a
creature that looked at him like that ?
Hopp muttered a few curses between
his clenched teeth, each one more lur-
id than the iast-bent over the poach-
er's body, took the hares, and went on
his way.
The dog followed him with his eyes
until he had disappeared among the
trees; then rose to his feet, and a
blood curdling howl rang through the
woods. He went around a few times
in an aimless circle, and then sat
down again by the dead man. In
that position the officers of justice
found him, when, led by Hopp, at
nightfall they came to view the body
and provide for its removal. Kram-
bambuli drew back few PAGES when
the men approached. "There's your
dog" said one of them to the ranger.

truth. But it was no use-the truth
came out just the same; for when the
corpse was put on the cart and car

it, head and tail dropping.

him sinking about near the room

man gave him kick and called out

him and ran away, as the man thot,
in the direction of the rangers house.
He did not go there, but began to lead
a miserable vagabond life.
Wild, and worn to skeleton, he
wandered about the poor dwellings

child that was standing in front of
the last house and snatched greedily
from him the crust of bread that he
was munching. The child was speech
less with fright, but a small Spitz
dog ran out of the house and barked
at the robber. Krambambuli dropped
his booty and fed.
That same evening Hopp was stand
ing at his window before going to bed,
looking out into the bright summer
night. In fancy he saw the dog sit

by the edge of the wood, gazing at
The scene of his former happiness

The ranger closed the shutters and
vent to bed. But after a while he
rot up again, went once more to the
window and looked out-but the dog

sleep, and a second time it was in
vain.
He could bear it no longer. What
ever had passed, he could not get
along without the dog. "Pll take him

himself new man after the decision.
