1t was further complained that
Nine. Rappold, who now pays

CHIME BUOY IS
GUIDE T0SH|PS
{. FOG-STRANDED
New York Harbor Marker Was
Invented by Government
Engineer.

Passengers on boats yassing St.
George. Staten Island, in the New
York harbor, have been attracted by
new form of buoy. 1t looks much
the same as the ordinary bell buoys
which mark the various channels,
but it's warning or signal is unique.
The new aid to navigation is known
as chime buoy, an elaboration of
the familiar bell buoys, withNa diff
ference.
The ordinary bell buoy is equipped
with bell, against which series OF
clappers, usually four, swing from
several points. AS the waves rock
the buoy from side to side, the bells
hammer out a signal, which can be
heard considerable distance.
1t Is impossible. however, to dis
tinguish one belf buoy from another
In fog, and serious mistakes often
follow. Aboard every ship at anchor
in the harbor, when /the fog comes
down, a bell is rung continuously
and these signals are often confused
with the floating bells.
The chime buoys consist of four
bells OF different size, which give out
different notes. AS the waves rock
this buoy, the knockers striking
against all four bells ring out four
distinct notes of different pitch.
There Is no sequence or rhythm
TO the notes thus rung out across the
water, although the effect is not un-
musical. But the combination of
notes is distinctive and readily
recognized. The lookout on a vessel
approaching the chime buoy i'm fog
will have no difficulty in recognizing
its characteristic music among scores
of ordinary fog bells, and will thus
receive definite Information as to his
position.
The chime buoy is the invention Of
Government engineer.

SpelIbound.

Miss Sylvia Lent. Of Washington,
daughter of Prof. z. Lent, 1928
Corcoran street, who Is appearing
In concerts In Berlin this fall, is
receiving immediate and favorable
recognition from the musical critics.
Die Welt says: Sylvia Lent
plays with the sovereign perfection
Of the seasoned virtuoso."
Germania says: LET 20 one say
that blondes have cold nature
for Sylvia Lent. a slender blond
haired violinist drew tones from her
beautiful violin with such intensity
of feeling and temperament that
the warmth of her personality could
not be doubted. I heard only the
last part of her program, but that
was sufficient for me to recognize
the very fine technique and the
vital musical ability of the young
girl"
Kreutz.Zeitung says: AT her
recital in Bechstein Hall the young
violinist Sylvia Lent showed that
she possesses extraordinary talent.
She gave her program in the true
virtuoso style. One who has
achieved so much and who knows
how to produce a tone so sound and
pure may expect everything to come
her way"
Der Reichsbote says: "The
violinist Sylvia Lent has a splendid
talent. 1t was a special pleasure to
hear the response Of her beautiful
instrument to her fluent fingers and
masterful bowling. The young artist
deserves a great career"
Neue Berhnger, says: "SylNNa
Lent is a remarkable violinist. This
is not surprising for with talent
such as hers industry must result
in a flaw1ehs, technique and a fine
tone-production.,. ITO reach the ex-
traordinary in violin art there must
be added temperament and power
of Interpretation. Her playing gave
undoubted evidences of these quail
ties"
Or. Walter Krone, Allegemeine
Musk -Zeitung, says: "The young
violinist Sylvia Lent was heard to
great advantage. Possessed of a
glittering technique she overcame
great difficulties with a surprising
sureness and fluency. Many of her
colleagues might well envysher the
beautiful instrument from which
she knows how to draw wonderful
music at all times"
Berlinger Tageblatt says: "De-
serving Of special notice is the con.
cert offered by Sylvia Lent She
was rewarded with well-deserved
applause. 'TThe young violinist has
at her command a technique Of
outstanding excellence, as we'll as a
warm, full tone. which sacrifices
none of its purity and beauty In
the most difficult passages" d..
Miss Lent is a pupil of Leopold

who taught Mischa Elman, Jascha
