SASCHA JACOBIN0FF
in VIOLIN RECITAL
Young Violinist Scores a Triumph
at the Academy Before
Big Audience

Sascha Jacobinoff gave very successful
recital Of violin music at the Academy OF
Music last evening before a large audience
that applauded the Young violinist heartily.
The principal numbers on the program were
the sonata in D major of Haendel and the
Mendelssohn concerto.
Mr.. Jacobinoff showed exceedingly
facile left hand and nimble bow. together
with warm tone, especially expressive in
slow movements. He has an inclination to
force the tempos in the fast movements
sometimes coming near the danger line as
regards the dignity Of the composition. This
was the case in both allegros of the Haendel
sonata, which were played with a brilliancy
rarely heard in compositions written in the
strict and formal style of Haendel. On the
other hand. both of the slow movements of
the sonata were played with a beautiful tone
and a full appreciation Of their tonal and
structural beauties Mr.. Jacobinoff showed
In these rare discretion in the use of porta
mento gliding from one tone to another).
never abusing this peculiar violinstic effect
and using 1t to the best advantage.
There Is a tradition among volinists that
every one plays the Mendelssohn concerto.
and a result this beautiful work is now
rarely heard 1t probably contains more
purely violinistiC idioms than any other con-
certo ever written, as it was composed by
man who knew the resources and limitations
of the violin thoroughly, in collaboration with
one Of the greatest vionists of all time.
Ferdlnand DaNlu. MI JacoDlnofr COuld not
have made better selection of his princi-
pal number. not only for this reason, but also
because the composition is SO admirably
suited to his style.
The first movement was gracefully played
the difficult passages being handled with ease
both in bow and lingering. In Mr.. Jacobi-
noffs Interpretation he takes the lyric second
theme at a considerably slower tempo than
the rest of the movement, and much more
sentimentally, instead Of reading it as a
graceful melody sharply contrasted with the
tempestuous first theme, but in the same
tempo The slow movement, as in the Haendel
sonata, played with the same warmth
of tone and refinement Of sentiment. The
finale was taken at high speed. but was
never blurred in execution. The brilliancy
of the movement made the extreme tempo
permissible However. Mr. Jacobinoff has
classical precedent for this reading. as Sara
safe played this movement with almost the
same Interpretation.
The other numbers consisted of a group Of
more modern short works. among them being
a delightful Caprice -Humoresque" by Maui
rts Leefson, the well-known pianist Of this
city. and dedicated to Mr.. JacobinoR. 1t Is a
work of merit and was cordially received by
the audience. Mr. Jacobnoff closed with the
brilliant Faust" Fantase of Wieniawsk.

Sketch of the Early Electric
TelegYaph

It is very difficult to say how the idea of
the telegraph entered the mind of man.
Progress toward the perfection of the cleo
trio telegraph began with the first searches
into the natural laws governing electricity.
Clever men experimenting solely for the
love of work, discovered, bit by Bit how to
control the electrical currents.
In 1853, a thought occurred to an unknown
newspaper suggesting that messages be sent
by electricity.
One of his schemes was that there be a
very light ball at the receiving end of a
wire which would strike bell when it felt
the electric impulse come over the wire, and
by devising code depending upon the
number of strokes of the bell and the time
between them, he suggested that messages
could be sent and interpreted. Whoever
this man was, he suggested method which
comes very near to being that in use today.
Valta discovered new and more stable
form than that of the olden time and many
different men labored at investigating what
could be accomplished with 1t. 1t was
Oersted's and Faraday's discovery of the
connection between electricity and magnetism
and how an electric current may be made to
magnetic piece of iron at will, that really
opened the way for the invention of the tele-
graph we know today.

Only a Dad

Only dad, with tired face,
Coming home from the daily race,
Bringing little gold or fame
To show how we'll he has played the game.
But glad in his heart that his own rejoice
To see him come and to hear his voice.
Only dad, of brood of four,
One of ten million men or more.
Flooding along in the daily strife,
With never a whimper or hate
For the sake of those who at home await.
Only dad, neither rich nor proud.
Merely one of the surging crowd,
Toiling, striving from day to day,
Facing whatever may come his way;
Silent, whenever the harsh condemn,
And bearing it all for the love of them.
Only dad, but he gives his all
To smooth the way for his children small,
Doing with courage stern and grim
The deeds that his father did for him;
This is the line that for him / pen,
Only dad but the best of men.-Er.

Warship's Captain Loneliest
of Men

Tradition. and the exigencies of his posi-
ton impose lonely sort of existence on
the captain of warship. Amid the dense
population of the floating steel island over
which he rules with autocratic sway the
captain lives life of solitude.
Other officers, according to their rank,
may enjoy the good comradeship of the
ward-room or the merry round of the care
Tree, fear-free, irrepresible gun-room. But
for the captain, says the London Mail, these
are the things of the past. In his apart
ments astern he lives in almost royal isola-
ton, with sentry ''on the door," and sur
rounded by difficulties of approach as hedge
about king.
Within certain limits he is king more
autocratic in his tiny realm than are many
monarches who wear their crowns ashore.
Part of the quarterback is his royal pleas
ance. In harbor the starboard side, at sea
the weather side of it are reserved for him
by age old custom. No one else may
tread there while the captain remains con
deck
He may invite the commander or one of
the nom executive officers to "take turn
with him, or he may elect to pass up and
down alone. That falls out as the captain
wills it. But no one dares venture into
''the owners preserve unless asked to do
so. The captain has his own clerk and his

The Cycle of the Years

Of all the years that have come and gone
And maybe myriads yet to come:
The age of the man who must struggle on
Marks the miles on the journey home.
When bouyant youth with its notions large
Outlines the earth for its annual prize
The New Year then is heavier charge
And the stones are all of wondrous size.
Maturity finds our tasks outlined
With heavy duties begun in the fall,
The New Year approaches only to find
We have not had time to finish them all.
Middle age gives us life so full
We fail to compass the half on time;
And drift into habits of lapsing lull,
And procrastination quite sublime.
When advancing years frosten our locks
And harvest yields its ripening seeds
We cease to count time by the clocks,
And live, not in years, but deeds.
The evening of life that's been we'll spent
Is glorious crown of all the years;
With a conscience clear of all intent
And devoid of aches and quaking fears.
And time shall blend into eternity;
And the annual marks of life erased;
And life shall inherit immortality,
AS the pearly gates of peace are passed.
Fl. J. L.. Savage.
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1918-01-10

The difference between pride and self
respect is that the latter does not consider it
necessary to strut.
"A man can convince his wife of any
thing except that dress she wore last year
looks as good as new now.
Imagination would work just as we'll
on cheerful subjects as it does on gloomy
ones, if we'd only give it chance.
To record the work done by steno-
graphers typewriter meter has been in
vented.
The most of Japan's pearl divers are
women who begin to learn at the age of
thirteen or fourteen.
In the United States there are found
Ill distinct species of snakes, of which only
IL are dangerous to man.
He that has never helped another has
never done anything in this world worth
while.
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1918-01-10

But before Valta's current was discovered,
one man developed a real telegraph which
worked with electricity of the Static kind,
produced by friction. This man was nam
ed, Sir Francis Ronalds. He worked along
the lines laid down by the unknown Scotch
man who was supposed to have been Charles
Morrison. When he had his machine per-
fected he offered it to the British govern
ment but they refused it on the ground that
telegraphs were wholly unnecessary. Sir
Ronalds's invention cost him much care,
money and anxiety. but he was unsel6sh
and lived to see others benefit by his labor.
While the men in England were working
on the telegraph, an American artist, Sam
uel F. B. Morse, was studying and expert
menting in the United States alone but with
the same end in view, namely to produce
instruments which would satisfactorily send
messages over wire by electricity.
Morse was born in Charlestown, Mass,
in 1871. While on a voyage from Havre
| to America he became friendly with DR..
Jackson, who told him of the latest scienti-
6c discoveries in regard to the electric cur
rent and also the electro magnet. This set
Morse thinking and after three years hard
labor he perfected telegraph that worked
on the principle of the electro-magnet.
In 1914. an appropriation of $4,000
was passed by Congress to Assist Professor
Morse in his experiments. With this
money telegraph line was built from
Washington to Baltimore which was a COM
plete success.
Many companies were formed shortly
after this and telegraph lines were soon cir
cling the globe.
As will be evident from history, the tele-
graph in principal was gradual develo-
ment, to which many minds contributed,
but there has always arisen the question as
to really first invented the workable tele-
graph. To Morse, however, tn e high
authority of the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States has given the credit of being the
first to perfect practical instrument-Es.
