Much valuable work has been ac-
complished by the listener in tho de

continuous rapping of animal life; n
rifting sound caused by Il school of

Whales near by echo the drop, drop.

tile enthusiast in the United States
navy is working out a chart of the
vocal cords of whales. There are as
many variations as with the human
voice, Another is trying TO formu-
late the language Of .porpoises. More
curious than any there is audible at
certain times, invariably before squally
weather, the harsh piercing laugh of
some undiscovered mammalian aqua
tic like that OF a hyena.
There arc the varied sounds of
whales. dolphins and seals; OF fishes,
birds and reptiles, Of aquatic animals,
several tribes Of the mammalian class
living entirely under water; the up
and downward motion of the larger
fishes, not to mention crabs and lob
stors which fasten onto the listening
device itself.
There arc audible varying waves
and tremors of sound. Rarely u wave

sound is harsh and vibrant; a sound
that gradually tunes down to melody
when the sound waves are nearly
equal and occur at regular intervals.
With irregular intervals, however, and
varying waves. the sound in the lis
tening device is almost deafening, set

OF those new listening devices the
Americans employed in their hunt for

the war ended. The vessel to which
the device was attached had just sunk
a prowling U-boat with a depth
charge. The explosion had volumncd
in the listener like the oar of a Is
inch gun, but was barely audible in
comparison with the terrifying din
that succeeded it.
This was continuous: roaring, deaf
ening, grumbling-a veritable bonn
bardment. The operator at the re-
ceiver below decks flung down the in.
strument and rushed up to give warn
ing. Far and wide the alarmed crew
Searched-along the surface. in the

the listener ceased as abruptly as it
had commenced.
Afterward they discovered that the
visitor was a German sailor who had
been shot III of the submarine by
the force of the explosion and had
scrambled onto their vessel by way
OF the listening device.
The listener has demonstrated that
tho sea is alive with noises that vary
from the passage of a whale to the
low, regular hum of n submarine mo

hearing the incessant mutterinG of "A

for your impudence in imposing on
my simple and credulous good nature
as you have done"
Think of the leader of the claque
doing that! Inconceivablei We have
improved these affairs. But We have
not advanced in the nicely of discrimi-
nation. Our applause apparently de-
sends alike upon the just and the
unjust. There was a time when polite
silence greeted such singing as is now
too often heard on the operate stage.
but the custom at the present moment
is to applaud anything and everything
and seemingly to determine the
amount of the applause by the vigor
OF the effort made to evoke It.
Example of Real Appreciation,
The present writer was in the au-
dience in the Lyceum Theatre, Lon
don. when Verdi's "Otello" had its first
performance in London. The whole
cast from La Scala, Milan, with the
exception of the prima donna, had been
taken TO London. Tamagno as OteIlo
and Maurel as Id0o were the great
principals. The Scala orchestra and
chorus had been carried to London
and Faccio conducted. A peculiarly
personal chain of circumstances which
should not be revealed made this
writer for hat evening the represen-
tative of the London Herald. He was
already familiar with the opera, which
had been produced at the Academy Of
Music in this city by Italo Campanini.
What do you think called out the
most enthusiastic and prolonged APP
plause of the evening? One OF Ia
magno's clarion peals OF tone? Not at
all. 1t was Murel's half whispered
narration of CdsSio's supposed dream,
delivered soto voce with infinite
finesse and intensity OF expression. II
was pure lyric art OF perfectly Ira
matte type and that London audience
recognized il. Would hat similar art
were found oftener on the local stage
and that noble Romans could be
taught to admire It.

OPERA CLAQUE FOOLS NLY THOSE WHO PAY O L
Best Recent Example of Its Futility
Was Seen in the Applause for the
Puccini Irio-F1abit of Approving
Certain Passages Resumed at the
Metropolitan Much to the Det-
riment of Performances
BY W. J.

1T who seeks for applause from without has all his happiness in
anothers keeping Thus said so philosophic a writer as
Oliver Goldsmith. One wonders how such doctrine would
strike an opera singer. Applause from without, which means applause
from a audience, seems to be his chief desire. He will even pay for it
The honorable institution, the claque, so long celebrated in Europe and
mmortalzed in the caustic writings of Hector Berloz, is fixed at the
Metropolitan.
But it is not entirely the carefully prepared approval of the claque
that is to be discussed to-day. 1t means nothing to the American audience.
The poor gunible singers, who can only hear the noise of clappng hands
and cannot tell whence it comes, fondly believe that when they deliver
their cash to the director of the claque they are insuring its return in
the shape of applause from the audience in general.
They should have learned a lesson IN the evening of the production
of Puccnrs three one act operas Prolonged applause, shouts of "bravi"
and other demonstrations followed the performance of al Tabarro," in
which the principal performers were Claudio Muzio, Luigi Montesanto
and Giulio Crimi, three Italians.
This applause was not by any means confined to the claque. 1t
came from the whole body of admirers standing behind the orchestra
rail. After the presentation of "Suor Angelica" in which all the princi-
pals except one were Americans, there was no applause whatever from
the army behind the rail. All that was heard was given by the audience
in the centre Of the house without leadership by a caque.
In "Gianni Schicchi" the greatest applause was bestowed upon Miss
Eastons delivery of her little air of pleading. Not a hand sounded from
behind the rail. Miss Easton is English. All her applause came from the
body of the house and it continued till she had to repeat the air.
