Magic From Piano =
When Cortot Plays s

An audience OF splendid respons-
ivencrs gave Alfred Cortot. the
French pianist who played at Con
vention Hall last night, a warm ana
gracious ovation. II came from the
heart. The relation established be-
tween artist and audience was pecul-
iarly intimate. IL WAS n thoroughly
apprcciative audience which marvei-
cd at the brilliant technique and
was pleased at the interestingly
varied program selected. NJ. Cortot
is a fine and interesting musician.
Few great artists color their inter-
prctations so little with their own
personalities
The concert was unique. Not on
ly was the audience treated to the
performance OF one OF the worlds

as NJ. Cortot.
In a group of numbers NJ. Cortot
was enjoyed In his Interpretation In

and finger work: Two Debussy num-

an cerle affair which gave every
note and phrase Its full value ana

The big number OF the program
was the Saint Saens Etudc en- Forme

magnificcntly. While the artist sat

IL was difficult, II possible, to tell
when tho artist himself gave way
and the instrument picked up. The

was a stunning thing, doing both the

Lovely was the Chopin Polo

Mr. Cortot's playing OF the Polonaise

Delicate ornamcntation, brilliantly
given, was this number. The left
hand number by Saint -Saons was
exceedingly difficult and Mr.. Cortot
demonstrated his perfect finger con

lighter favorites and was airily given
with good balance and tone, with no
distortion of phrasing and received
much applause at the finish. Trills

is "BABE" RUTH A PIKER
SWATTER?

1t sounds extraordinary, but, in the light
of history, "Babe" Ruth as home-run
swatter shows up as mere piker. "A
cursory examination of the Spalding base
ball collection recently presented to the
New York Public Library by Mrs. Albert
G. Spalding, widow of the baseball pub
Usher, says writer in the New York
EVening Mail, will reveal the names OF
dozen fence-busters whose feats with the
willow far outshine any of those of the
modern King of Swat. 1t seems that in
the ffties, just prior to the organization of
the National League of Professional Base
ball Players, it was not unusual for
baseball player to hit out five or six home
runs in single game. Imagine the
deirium of the grand stand if such
thing should happen today. But the At
lantic Book of Box scores, 1880 to 1889,
shows that it was not at all uncommon for
players to score eight, nine, or even ten
runs in a game. Thus, continues the
writer:
Opening the book at random, one finds
that on August 5, the Atlantic Baseball
Club defeated the Baltic Club by the score
of Al to %. Again on September IS the
Atlantic team defeated the Battles to the
tune of S. to IL. In the latter game Jack
Grimms knocked out seven home runs.
Unfortunately the book does not indi-
cate how long the games lasted or whether
they were completed in one day.
1t also does not. indicate how many
times batter was permitted to circle the
bases after he knocked the ball over the
fence or lost it in river. There is one
instance, however, where player lost his
job for not knocking out his allotted six
homers.-Ex.

The Journal of Industrial and Engineer
ing Chemistry calls attention to.a report of
the Agricultural Department of the Feder-
ated Malay States on the oil from the seeds
of rubber trees as a substitute for linseed
oil. The oil is of high quality, requires
but little refining, and comes from waste
product that is available in great quantity,
and that is easy to collect, transport and
store and easy to crush. Experiments with
a consignment of thirty tons of seeds sent
to England resulted in yield of $3.50
ton for the oil and $40 ton for the resi-
dual cake.-Ex.

was necessary for us to continue the work

was necessary for us to continue the work
of separation.
The separation of gold and silver is
very simple operation. All you have to do
is to put it in a jar of Nitric acid and the
acid will dissolve the silver and leave the
gold in the form of dirty brownish look
ing precipitate. Looks as if we were pre-
pairing to make mud pies, but assure you
we are not. We take the precipitate, put
it in crucible and then put the crucible
into another furnace.
While the precipitate is being melted, l
want to call your attention to what has
occurred up to this time. To illustrate we
will say that we started out with one hum
dred tons of ore to smelt that carried about
one ounce of gold, approximately $4,000
per ton. That was about the average
value of the ore we were running. By the
time we have added our charge and run
the ore through furnace number one and
the matte through furnace number two, we
have reduced to a fluid state fully two
hundred tons of rock and metals and now
we are ready to pour into an ingot, the
resultant product of that two hundred tons
of material. Here it is gentlemen, little
bar weighing about eight pounds. Seems
almost unbelievable doesn't it? But if
YOU will look at it you will see that it is
the bright "yellow metaP that has ever
tempted the cupidity of man and that has
kept the world in turmoil ever since the
dawn of civilization.
That is one way to get gold.

witness of martyrdom, and many an artist,
adventuring after beauty, who has sought
to make immortal the dying peoples of the
islands.
For they all seem marked for death. The
islands were happily populous when the
first white men settled there. But year by
year the populations have dwindled. The
white man brought death. The first set
tiers were deserters from ships and escaped
convicts from the penal settlements of Aus
tralia. Then came traders and whalers,
reckless men and many of them evil. They
brought to the islands the vices of the
white man and his diseases. Then came
the recruiters, who "shanghaied" the black
for enforced labor in Australia.
And the missionaries came. And the
majority of the islanders who came under
missionary influence gave over the health
full custom of oiling their bodies as pro-
lection against wet and chill and put on
clothes.
Pneumonia and tuberculosis have carried
them off by the hundreds. They struggle
little against death. For they live now in
an alien civilization in which the wars
and dances that made life restful of old
have little part. Though here and there
a new lease on life seems to have been
taken by an island population, for the most
part the old races continue to die and
new population drifts slowly in-half-
breeds, Chinese, Malays, Indians and a
handful of governing whites.-Ex.

STILL ISLANDS OF MYSTERY

Scattered over the Pacific between limits
set roughly by the tropics of Cancer and
Capricorn, and the 1870 parallels, east and
west, lie the islands of the South Seas.
Some of them are mapped, but many of
them are so small, in the vastness of the
ocean, that they cannot be designated on
maps, even by pinprick.
Like the stars reflected in the still
lagoons of their atolls, the South Sea Is
lands have never been counted. Geograph-
ers estimated their number at some twenty
six hundred. But mariners blown off the
usual routes still come upon uncharted is
lets. Many islands, discovered only to be
lost again, lie in the desert spaces of the
Pacifc-or perhaps they are mirages that
have never taken form save in the beauty
struck eyes of the seamen who charted
them.
For they are islands of mystery-these
islands of the South Seas-of mystery and
beauty. Some of them are rugged, vol
canic masses, with soaring mountains and
clif-girded fords. Darwin saw in these
islands the peaks of submerged continent
or land bridge by which, cons ago, men
and animals crossed from hemisphere to
hemisphere. The peoples of the island
bear out this. theory.
They are fit settings for romance and
adventure, these lovely and terrible is.
lands, and from the time of the, great
navigators of the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries, who were the first of the western
world to anchor in their coral locked har-
bors, they have spelled romance and ad-
venture to Westerners.
Tied to the routine of an industrial
world many man sends his mind to wan
der among the beautiful savages of Poly
nesia, who live STILL so the fable goes, in
that golden age in which all desires are
good and toll is yet unknown; among the
man-eating, head-hunting blacks of Mela-
nesia, as terrible and grotesque and as un-
real as the demons of the Middle Ages
among the shades of the white men who
have come and gone over the brilliant sea.
The very names on the map call up a
host of spirits-explorers, adventures OF
