ROOM THAT IS N0ISELESS
Remarkable Chamber Constructed for
Research Work at the Famous
University of Utrecht

It is said that the physiological in
stitute of the University of Utrecht
possesses what is probably the most re-
markable room in the world. a cham
l,er about seven and One-half feet
square, which is claimed to be absO-
utely noiseless, as far as the entrance
Of sounds from outside is concerned.
1t is on the top story of laboratory
building and is an inside room, but is
50 arranged that it can be ventilated
and inundated with sunshine. The
walls. floor. and ceiling each consist
of half dozen layers of different
substances. with air spaces and inter
sticeS filled with sOund-deadening ma
terials.
Some persons when in the room eX-
perence a peculiar sensation in the
ears. While every effort has been made
to exclude sounds that are not wanted,
of course the object of constructing
his singular room was to experiment
with phenomena connected with sound.
Some of the sounds employed are made
in the room itself; others are intro
duced from outside by means of a
copper tube, which is plugged with
lead when not in use.

Panied and Surprised.

DAY when | saw a dish of bright red

Such shrill screams of agony as
reached my mothers ears. She rushed
to the rescue to find me, not content
with having filled my mouth with the
fiery pepper, rubbing frantically at my

TRACE JAZZ MUSIC TO CHINA
Book of Ceremonies of That Country
Deals With Musical Criticism
to the Point.

The hunt for the origin of jazz has
led to the African jungle and to the
music Of cannibal feasts and orgiastic
dances. But, further back it can be
traced to the beginnings of civilization
in China itself. Confucius, who lived
nearly $500 years ago, edited a book
of ceremonies called the Iii XII" The
book of ceremonies was a venerable
Chinese classic long before Confucius
gave his attention TO it. The sayings
in the Iii XII represent a viewpoint
of musical criticism in China which
perhaps corresponds to the date as
signed by the Jewish chronology for
the Garden of Eden. The LII XII" de-
scribes music as a powerful influence
for good or evil. and pictures the pre-
historic syncopatfOn as follows:
"The airs of Kang go to wild ex-
cess and debauch the mind; those of
Sung speak of slothful indulgencies
and of women and submerge the mind;
those of Wei are strenuous and fast
and perplex the mind; and those of
Xii are violent and depraved and
make the mind arrogant. The airs of
these four states all stimulate libidi-
nous desire and are injurious to
virtue"
If not jazz, what else falls in with
the description? Kang, Sung. Wei and
Khi-all their scores have been lost
Only the monOtonous drum beat which
they doubtless contributed to prehis-
toric jazz remains in modern Chinese
music.-Toledo News-Bee.

THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS
1t Dates Back to the Time of the An
Gent Romans, and Probably Is
Much Older.

1t was a custom of the Romans to
paint rose on the ceiling of the ban
quet hall, signifying that what was
told at the feast was not to lie re-
peated. From this custom originated
the expression, subrosa, the Detroit
News recalls.
The rose is the queen of love and
beauty and is the most eloquent of
all in the language of the flowers. The
red rose is token of love and the
white of purity. A moss rosebud is
confession of love, while a rose leaf
says. "You may hope" A white rose
signifies, Il am worthy of you" and
the yellow rose asks, "Are you ieal
OuS?"
The yellow buttercup is dedicated
TO the memories of childhood and
riches. ne Greeks and Romans used
one variety of buttercup as a remedy
for ieprOsy. 1t was also said that tn,
root was sure cure for insanity if il
was gathered at the wane of the moon
wrapped in linen and carried around
the neck of the afflicted person.
