Subject of Careful Study.

Some of the most interesting songs
larity of measure Lengths, and she has
made careful study of this phase of
the music. She has found, by analyz-
ing the structure Of about 600 songs,
that the melodic form of the song was
connected with it's idea. This she has
followed with a test of the rhythm,
by which it has been found that the
peculiar alternating of the double and
triple measures, into which the songs
are divided. expresses the idea of the
song. In making this test Miss Dens-
more translated the native words into
a rhythm exactly like that Of the
melody, and had the English equiva-
Tents sung, in practically every in
stance to the same measure as the
native words. thus the only rhythm of
the words was that of the native
melody.
In the development of this idea Miss
Densmore received the cooperation of
Alberto Bimboni, an Italian composer
and conductor. whose temperament and
training fitted him eminently for this
work.
But the real test" continued the in
vestigator was to learn whether this
subtle popularity would carry with
an audience, and fortunately while this
point was under consideration, Nine
Sembrich. probably the greatest artist
of the folk song living today, requested
an Indian song. A song of the Siouxs'
sun dance was sent Nine Sembrich
melody and the charm of the native
Rhythm" AS reported above, she sang
the song in Sioux. and it was wesl re-
ceived, and will shortly be published by
Mr.. Bimboni with Miss Densmore's
rhythmic translation in addition to the
Sioux words.

INDIAN SONG IS GIVEN
IN RECITAL PROGRAM
Nine. Sembrich Sings Sioux Produc-

One of the Sioux Indian songs col
lected by Miss Frances Densmore for
the bureau of American ethnology of
the Smithsonian Institution was sung
by Nine. Marcella Sembrich at an his
torical song recital in New York
january. A setting for the melody
was arranged by Alberto Bimboni Of
New York. and Nine. Sembrich re-
ceived SO much applause that she was
obliged to repeat the song
The Indians" Miss Densmore said,
DO not keep regular rhythm
throughout song. but frequently al
ternate double and triple measures in
a way that appears absolutely erratic,
yet the song as whole will have
rhythmic completeness: in other words,
the rhythm makes sense"

Sister Of the Megantic.

The launching Of the Laurentic at
Belfast in 1908 marked the entry of
the White Star line into the Canadian
trade in conjunction with the Dominion
line. The vessel was said to be the
first passenger steamship to be fitted
with combination of reciprocating
engines with a low-pressure turbine.
At that time the Laurentic was the
largest vessel in the Canadian trade.
She was SIS feet long, with beam of
sixty-seven feet four inches. In addi-
ton to accommodations for $50 first
class, 430 second-class and $50 third
class passengers, she was equipped
with six cargo holds with large re-
frigerating chambers. The Laurentic
was sister ship of the Megantic,
another ship in the Canadian service
which was requisitioned by the British
admiralty.
