Titta Ruifo last evening scored as
emphatic a success before Philadel-

any singer for many years. He ap.
peared in the Metropolitan Opera
House, which was fairly we'll 6lled a.
regards numbers, but filled to overflow.
ing with respect to enthusiasm.
Mr.. Ruff0 sang four numbers--that
IL there were four on the program,
but he sang fourteen times In all--and
baritone repertoire. All were operatic
from "Pagliacci,' the Toreador song
from Carmen. the Drinking song from
'iamlet" and the Largo al Facto.
tum" from the Barber Of Seville"
These four numbers give play to about
every possible human emotion and AFFORD
the singer q rare opportunity to dis.
tinguish himself--if he IL capable Of
doing so--with such a varied emotional
and vocally exacting program. Mr..
Ruffo showed Inst evening that he can
do It. All the numbers were placed on
the program BY request Of Ruho's Phil.

good voice and he displayed his usual
ways makes a great hit with bis audi.
ence. He IL essentially an operatic
rather than lyric singer and, therefore,
he could not have selected q program
which suited his voice nor his mood Of
last evening better than did the four
great arias he gave. In voice and In
certain temperamental capacities he is
easily the King Of the baritones.
The audience was wildly enthusiastic
and Mr.. Ruffo was more than generous
in giving encores. He did not thrust
bis extra songs on the audience BY any
manner Of means. but. when he saw
them cheerfuiiy. OF ali the numbers, IN
he was at his best in the aria from
The Barber both vocally, in spirit
and especially in the matter Of enuncia-
tion, taking the aria at terrific tempo
in the second part with every syllable
MS distinctly pronounced as though the
tempo were slow. 1t was a vertitable
tour de force of singing. As usual, Mr..
Ruffo acted the arias as though he were
in costume and on the operatic stage.
Miss Beatrice d'Allesandro had the

Ruffo. She has fine mezzo soprano

with exceptional grace and skill. It Is
no easy matter to sing on the same
program with an artist Of the Ruffo
caliber, and Miss d'Allesandro achieved
remarkable success. She sang first
an old italian song Of Scnrlatti and
followed this Immediately with lovely
composition entitled "Nebbie" (Clouds)
by one Of the most gifted Of the modern
Italian composers, Respighi, whose or.
chestral composition. 1.-The Fountains
Of Rome presented by T'oscanini, was
one Of the features Of last evening.
Miss d'Allesandro also sang Donizetti's =
20 milo Fernando" and the beautiful
20 Don Fatale" Of Verdi, responding
with vel. chosen encores to all.
Mr.. Sciarretti. formerly one Of the
conductors Of the San Carlo Opera
Company, was the accompanist and ap.
peared twice in solos. doing both with
conspicuous success.

Can You Tell?
BY r. J. and A. ". Bodmer
Why IL Is Possible For Us to Float
When Bathing


It Is possible for people to float when
bathing because the specific gravity Of
ordinary water Is just about the same
as the specific gravity Of the human
body. Sea water is little heavier than
fresh water SO that It Is easier to swim
and float in 1t.
The specific gravity Of a thing means
its weight AZ compared with an equal
volume of water. Archimides. who
lived In the third century. discovered
specific gravity. Hero, King Of Syra.
cuse. had given lump of pure gold to
his gOldsmiths to make into n crown.
When the crown was finished the king
suspected that the workmen had stolen
a part Of the gold and added some silver
in Its place. but he could not prove this
because they had made It weigh exactly
who was asked to investigate. found
the king was right. He secured ball
of pure gold and one Of pure silver.
each weighing exactly as much as the
crown. lie put the gold ball into q
vessel Of water and marked on the side
of the vessel the height to which the
water rose. He next put the silver ball
into the water and again marked the
height of the water. He showed thus
that. although both weighed the same.
the water rose higher when the silver
was immersed.
Lastly, he took out tho silver and
put the crown into the water. II the
crown had been Of pure gold the water
should have risen to the gold mark. The
water. however, rose higher than the
pure gold mark, but not so high as the
silver mark.
