Paddock as a Runner.
Questions as to the Conc 'on
Which He Made His Re-

To THE New YORK HERALD: Your edi-
torial article entitled "California's Phe-
nomenal Runner" refers to the perform
ance Of Paddock. who Is credited with
running IT'S yards in II seconds. or five
yards better than evens. but 1t makes
no mention of the methods employed in
starting and timing.
II one-half of the stories that come
from the Pacific coast are true the real
wonder is that this man did so poorly.
With starter crouched alongside OF
him. a crouch start and but one clocker
at each Of the intermediate distances
we may expect any day to read of his
doing this distance. 175 yards. in is
seconds or better.
You say that with stop watches reg
istering ffths OF second. as against
quarters in the old days-as a matter
ated in eighths forty years ago-ama-
teurs have done better than evens; so
they have. but not with standing start.
When Paddock came East few years
ago and was beaten by Scholx his rum
ming was anything but impressive. be-
ing OF tie high and galloping variety,
not conducive to record making. at least
as we know running in this neck Of the
woods
There are not enough timers east and
west Of the Rockies to time a 220 yard
sprint and catch the correct time from
seventy-five yards and every twenty
five yards up to 200. and at the finish
to conform to the timing rules. which
would call for at least twenty-one ex-
pert clockers on the Job.
Paddock is a fast runner. but II he
wants his records to stand let him enter
the furlong dash at the national cham
pionships to be held at Newark next
September. though. by the way. he has
announced in the newspapers that he
has no intention of doing so.

Measuring Musical Talent.
Scientific Methods Now Being Used
In Educational Centers.
From Popular Mechanics.

Modestiy but earnestly there have
been in progress at a few educational
centers Of this country during recent
years most interesting efforts to de-
yelop a scientific method of musical edu-
cation. The method Is based largely on
psychology. and various instruments
have been devised not only for making
tests of nerve reactions but also for
measuring musical talent and classify
ing It,
Apart from the psychological element.
an instrument for visibly registering
tonaI vibrations, known as tonoscope,
has been under development for some
twenty years, though II is only within
the last few years that It has been prac-
tically applied This instrument in
dicates the exact number Of vibrations
n second of any tone tested by 1t. and
as. of course, the number Of vibrations
OF all tones is known the instrument
determines whether the pitch is correct
IL consists OF a perfectly balanced drum
that rotates horizontally. making exactly
one revolution second The white face
of the drum is covered with black dots
arranged In rows. which. In connection
with n scale, enable the operator to read
the number OF vibrations a second made
by a small gas flame In front Of the
drum, which is caused to vibrate In
accordance with the tone of voice or
instrument conducted TO II through a
speaking tube.
other instruments have also been de-
veloped for making various tests to de-
terminc the natural aptitude and nrusi-
cal talent OF students. Many OF these
are now being practically applied at the
rubllc schools in Evanston. Among
them are instruments for measuring
nerve reactions to discover the degree
OF susceptibility to pitch OF sound,
others for testing precision. and still
others for testing free and controlled
rhythm. fs.r sN =

The threat of eviction for trespass
cannot again be made against the
railroad. Other means must be de-
vised to induce it to make a gener-
Gus bargain with the city; perhaps
even sweet reasonableness and the
spirit of compromise.
There is no likelihood that the
Riverside Park improvement will
come up again for serious considera-
tion Immediately. however. The
Hylan administration for political
reasons will scarcely want to begin to
treat with the railroad. Even should

some wonderful mimicry OF fly or
moth or animal. then scarcity. and
after that beauty" The most beau
tiful specimens are not always the
most costly. according to an orchid
expert writing for the Manchester
Guardian. He says that hybrids
artificially raised are generally more
beautiful than the original plants
and that the increased interest in
orchids in recent years has been
evoked by the success which has
attended the efforts to unite the de-
sirable features of two species in one
FORM" This authority adds that
orchid growing Is not entirely "a
rich mans game" He. to be sure,
is able to send out expeditions in
quest of new species and to own
greenhouses filed with rare wonder
flowers.
There are. however. many varie-
ties of orchids, the Guardian expert
says. which the amateur may obtain
without digging down very deep into
his pocket and which he can grow
with comparatively little care. Be-
sides. X he will take the trouble, he
can make orchid culture an interest

More Meddling.

The Post once Department an
nounces it's intention of preparing
future issues Of postage stamps "in
such designs and colors as will be
easily distinguishable" What Is the
idea? The Department cannot make
the stamps more easily recognizable
for persons who are color blind. and
for persons of normal vision there
is no great difficulty in distinguishing
between a one cent stamp and a two
cent stamp. Those are the stamps ir
common use, and one is green and
the other red. What need of further
contrast?
A few days ago Secretary MELLON
went on record against unnecessary
medding with the coinage. The ex-
listing coins are- we'll designed, prac-
tical and familiar. So are the
stamps. Why fuss with them? The

Orchid Hunting.

Two expeditions of orchid hunters,
one American and the other English.
recently started on quest for new
and, rare specimens OF orchids in
regions believed hitherto unexplored
by searchers for this plant. Such an
adventure to-day has not the same
perils or the same glamour OF ro-
nance that it had sseventy-five or a
hundred years ago, when the pioneer
psychologists faced death from wild
men and beasts in the jungles- OF
New Guinea. Madagascar or tropical
South America. The orchid hunter
is now a specialist and is better
equipped than in the past for his
explorations, while orchid collecting
and selling are described as "a pro-
fession requiring as much knowledge
as stockbroking."
Just how many more species of
orchids there remain to be discov-
cred is q puzzle to the bo.anists.
The progress that has been made in
crchidology may be judged from the
fact that the famous Swedish botan-
list LrNNEus, who. died 140 years
ago. knew only twelve species, while
botanists OF the present day know
more than 5000. 1t Is believed that
within a comparatively few years all
species will be known. The discov-
cry of the unknown species, IL there
are any, is one of the undertakings
of the latest two expeditions.
The culture of orchids began in
England in 1920. 1t was not taken
up in America until thirty-five years
afterward. In recent years. however.
American orchid fanciers have made
wonderful progress. Some Of the
finest private collections in the world
are in this country. The public COL
lestions also are. noteworthy; but
rome perhaps yet reaches the variety
shown in Glasgow. which In its four
public gardens has about $4,000
orchids.
The deep forests OF the Amazon
Valley have furnished many fine spec
linens. The favcrite hunting grounds
in the past have been Borneo. NADIA
gascar and the East Indies. Here
are to be found in the tops of tall
trees the great waxlike flowers. "the
air woven children of light" which
are'free from soil and are nourished
by the atmosphere. These are the
