VALUE or MUSICAL TRAINING
Sound Reasons Why Physicians Should
Have Thorough knowledge of
Sound and of Rhythm.

The great value of musical training
to the practicing physician is pointed
out by DR.. Ernest Zueblin, associate
professor of medicine in the Univer-
sity of Cincinnati, in an article con
tributed to American Medicine. APP
probation of the pitch, intensity and
duration of sounds, and of rhythm,
which must be acquired by the must
clan in the study of his art, are also
necessary to the doctor, who is obliged
to take note of these same sound quail
tiles in making many of his diagnoses.
The objective signs of disease, Dr..
Zueblin points out, are closely related
to acoustic phenomena, such as con-
d~uctivity, quality, tonality, pitch, in
tensity, duration and rhythm. The
conductivity of sound, for instance, Is
quite different In a normal lung from
one where there is fluid between the
lung and the chest wall. The quality
and tonality of sounds produced within
the lungs or heart or transmitted
through the abdominal viscera, are
essential for the diagnostician. The
better the musical training, the sharper
the personal perception of the student,
the more he will excel his competitors.

Gentleman of Old China.

A poor man he was, but his dignity
of bearing and manner would have
done justice to a Greek philosopher or
a Roman senator. And his attire was
In accord with his patrician demeanor,
Luther Anderson writes in Asia. He
wore a gray silk gown which reached
almost TO his ankles and over Ii u
short sleeveless coat of black velvet
buttoned down the left side with knot

his trousers. excepting at the bottom.
where they were neatly wrapped
around his ankles and held in place by
r%ibbonlike bands, which also covered
the tops of his white stockings. His
shoes were of black satin but for the
soles, which were made of layers of
padded cotton cloth. He o a tight
fitting skull cap of black satin, faced
with slender cords of red silk that
came together at the top in a knot re-
sembling a button. In summer he al
ways carried a fan, which he handled

SiIk-Makinu Butterflies.

There is a species of butterfly. ma
tive to British East Africa, that builds
communal nests as big as a mans two
fists. These nests, attached to
branches of the trees on whose leaves
the insects as caterpillars feed, are
made of a good quality of silk.
Inside the nest, however, are some
hundreds of individual coo Thus
one might say that the bunch repre-
sents a whole flock of butterflies.
But the important point is that the
silk of the coeoons Is comparable in
quality to that spun by the silkworm,
and claim is made that ii might be
utilized p%rofitably for the weaving of
fabrics, the coarser material of the
nests finding industrial employment as
floss"

Harmful Loss of Temper.

Although unbridled rage is helpful in
fight among the lower animals, need
less to say it is the reverse Of service
able in the deliberate fighting of man
against man, as in boxing and fencing,
for here anger interferes with those
cautious methods of attack and de-
Tense which are essential to uccess
To lose ones temper in fighting of this
kind may be to lose the fight. With
this reservation it is curious to note
the close kinship between the COM
Blatant instinct of man and Of the low
er animals. The untamed man. when
enraged, assumes in very truth the as
pect of the tiger; he puts himself in
a threatening attitude, frOwns, glares,
rolls his eyes. grinds his teeth, snarls,
growls, even roars-thus ~instinctively
seeking To strike terror into his OPP
ponent.

WHY ADVERTISE ONES WoES7
shy Habit TAst Is Altogether Too
Common Among Unthinking Peo-
pie Of Both Sexes.

IL Is surprising to see how quickly a
dark cloud can rise and completely
overcast the fair, blue sky of a lovely
summer day. Just as swiftly can the
III humor or i'll health of one or two
persons put a damper on a group Of
people.
We all know the woman who is con-
stantly complaining Of her chronic
headache, her rheumatism, or the
trouble she has with her servants; we
stand in awful terror of the man who
with almost demoniac glee-goes
into all the grewsome details of his
last operation we groan-mentally, at
least-when made to listen to the
youth or maiden whose personal dis
tresses ~mOnopoiize the conversation.
Each n is as welcome to an assem-
bly, of congenial souls as is the pro-
verbal flea to the equally proverbial
three-legged dog.
1t is a capital idea for each of us to
remember that our own experiences
are rarely as Interesting to others as
to ourselves, unless told with the touch
Of an artist; and hat fewer things are
more difficult or more unpleasant to
listen to thar the recital of another's
woe, particularly If that other is not a
" intimate friend In need of special
advice and sympathy.
Let JUS keep the accounts of our
grievances locked within our breasts
until the tiny golden key of fitting OPP
portunity is presented, and face the
world with the c~ountenance of a cheer
full stole and the consideration of a Sir
Philip Sidney. Only thus may We be
sure of creating about us an atmos-
phere of gentle breeding and good
manners.-Elizabeth Van Rensselaer,.

To Protect Birds Erom Cats.

The pole supporting a martin house
or any other bird house, and also the
trunk of a tree in which a bird house
is placed, should be protected by a cat
guard, writes George GLADDEN., In an
article on bird-house construction In
the Peoples Home Journal. Barbed
wire wound around the trunk of the
tree. but held away from 1t by cleats
about two inches thick, forms the best
guard. Another simple guard may be
made by tying around the support or
tree trunks a number of stalks of o
bushes or any other branches with nat
ural thorns-

Best Known Hunting Dogs.

Two distinct breeds of hunting dogs
in ancient times were the greyhound
and the bloodhound, and their origin
is lost In the misty ages of the long
ago. Tablets unearthed at Nineveh
show by pictures that both dogs were
common In that ancient day. The
bloodhound was first selected on ac-
count of his good nose I'm seeming
the trail Of game. He is a pendulous
cared, or drop-eared dog. Finally he
became the thinner of olden days, that
is, the bloodhound led in leash or
line to track the quarry to its lair
or harbor. He was used only to locate
the game and was never off the lead,
while the greyhound's mission was to
ace at the game and pin 1t by the
nose.

THREE MONTHS OF DAYLIGHT
Practically No Time of Dark
ness In Finland.

During the long winters daylight in
Finland lasts only three or four hours.
On the shortest days It is ever less.
Then it is indeed, a land of snow and
ice. For three months 1t is sc hot
that the wealthy residents seek sum
mer resorts for comfort. During that
time it is practically n long day.
Not a star to be seen, and the appear
ance of the first star is a sign that
summer Is past and the time Of au-
tumn frosts has arrived.
During my visit the evening twi-
light had scarcely disappeared before
the morning twilight chased the gloom
of night away. One could read out Of
doors until after eleven o'clock. These
long days, with scarcely any night,
force vegetation to grow at a dollhouse
pace. Land and water have no time
to cool. Summer comes in this
strange land with a sudden burst of
flowers, sunlight and birds.
Finland is a land of pine and fir
clad hills, for only a comparatively
small portion seems to be cleared. The
most of the country is fairly level, so
that 1t has not the grandeur of the
Scandinavian kingdom. In the cleared
portions stand neat little wooden
cottages, which are usually kept fresh
ly painted, red being the favorite color.
Surface drain bitches are made in the
cultivated fields every few rods. and
all seems most carefully tilled.-Nevin
o. Winter, In the Christian Herald.

Quaint Social Features Among Birds.

Quaint social Features among 6irus.
Interesting stories have been told of
the quaint social features of bird life.
The social intercourse of birds is a
subject which bird lovers study with
especial consideration. Man was not
the first, 1t appears. TO devise a tri-
bunal for the trial of some one accused
Of crime. If the ornithologists are cor
rect, he was It one time in medieval
history far behind the feathery tribes
in the system of melting out justice
to wrongdoers.
Rocks hold court when one of their
number is caught In theft or other
misdemeanor. The culprit sits within
a circle of rocks who cry out against
him. He proclaims his innocence Or
guilt. as the case may be, by %shrieking
loudly. If he is considered guilty by
the bird assembly, at II signal the flock
pounces upon him and tears him TO
pieces.
Justice is not done halfway by the
birds.
The rock court has been actually OBJ
served many times by bird students.

Heart Troubles by Wire.

Remarkable new uses for the tele-
phone are constantly being discovered.
Recently a test in London showed that
ii is possible to diagnose heart trou-
bles by telephone at a distance of 100
miles. Four physicians on the Isle of
Wight listened to the beating of a
woman's heart in London. A stetho-
scope held over the heart was attached
to a telephone by means of which
sounds are magnihed. This offers a
suggestion to loving eouples.-Los An

TO ASCERTAIN OCEANS DEPTH
Scientist Has Suggested That Method
OF Sound May Be Employed With
Good Results.

Three-quarters of the earth's r
face is submerged and has not yet been
explored to any great degree. Alexan-
der Graham Bell writes in the Youths
Companion. The only way we have Of
reaching the mountains and valleys at
the bottom Of the sea is by sending
down a sounding line and bringing up
a specimen of the bottom attached to
the sinker. II is not easy, however, to
reach the bed of the sea through a
mile or two miles Of water and Il re-
quires several hours to take a single
sounding. 1t is therefore expensive
both In time and in labor TO ascertain
the depth of the ocean.
Why not send down q sound instead
and listen to the echo from the bot
tom? Knowing the velocity of sound
in water Give times its velocity in air)
and the time taken for the echo to
reach the ear, we should be able to as
certain the depth of the deepest part
of the ocean In a few seconds.
Here is an idea that would certainly
appear to be worth trying. l have sug-
gested 1t several times, but / do not
know that 1t has ever been acted upon.
The experiment might reveal not only
the depth of the ocean, but something
of the nature Of the bottom. A fiat
bottom should give a single sharp re-
turn, whereas ar undulating bottom
should give a multiple echo, such as
you hear when a pistol is fired among
hills. Many important conclusions
might be drawn from the facts so OBJ
tanned.
