A WAGNER FAN.

TO THE EDITOR or THE SUH-Sir:
Your structures on Wagnerian opera in
the Language of the damned" have sug-
gested the pertinent query whether the
self,centred literary and musical guild
of this metropolis are after all on Il
higher plane Of enlightenment than tho
average human In the street.
Prejudice has generally been the dis
tinguishug mark of II lack OF culture
pardon this hateful word, which those
unacquainted with its exact "nuance"
wrongfuly accept as synonym of
kuitur-and II is to say the least sur
prsing that your musical reviewer
should have succumbcd to the Aysteria
engendercd by the great war about to
come to a close, under the influence
Of which everything Teutouic--good, bad
and indiTtrent--h been mathematical.
The mind that would bar WaGncrian
opera for the crimes and nisdemcanors
Of a demented IIohenzollern some thirty
one years after the composers death
is the identical exiguous intellect that
vents its wrath on he present genera
|, ton Of Jews for the abhorrent mis-
deeds of Jewish MOI Of hsrebrain.d

WHERE EARS GROW SHARP.

n NE Of the British signal service
I men. who has been for several
years n member of the Balloon
Observation Corps, tells of the clear
ness with which sounds coming from
the surface Of the ground can be heard
at high attitudes.
At tho height of 5000 feet the ring
ing of horses hoofs>on hard road
was clearly audible. At 1900 feet thu
splashing sound made by ducks in n
pond was heard. The barking OF dogs
and the growing OF cocks could b.
heard at 1000 or 5000 feet.
These sounds penetrated through ~
white floor Of cloud that hid the earth
from sight. In the perfect silence o.
the air around the balloonist was
startled by what seemed staalthy foot
steps close at hand. 1t was ascertained
that this noise was caused by tho
stretching Of the ropes and the yield
ing of the silk as the balloon continued
to expand.
