tionsl Theater Tuesday afternoon,
January 10, at 4:30 o'clock, will be
under the baton Of Vincent D'Indy,
CHE distinguished French composer
and orchestra leader, the orsaniza-
lions great conductor! DIndy is
another living proof Of the truism
that most great artists were utterly
taisunderstood by their early sur
toundings and associations and in
tended, not prepared, for a career en-
tirely different from the one in
which they finally excel.
The family Of M. D'Indy, who was
born In Paris March ~, 1852, wish
ed him to become q lawyer and, al
together against his wish, he studied
law. At the same time, however,
he took piano lessons from Diemer
and harmony lessons from Lavignac.
But after the Franco-Prussian war,
~ which he served as q volunteer
and took an active and brave part
in the defense Of Paris. he gave
up definitely any idea of ever becom-
Ing barrister and decided, against
the wishes of his parents, to be a
profess onal musician. How well he
succeeded is well known to an low

Difficult pianoforte technique Is thus
made extraordinarily simple to any
one who can play moderately well.
Musical feats of physical endur-
ance as performed on the concert
platforms may be a thing Of the
past with the introduction Of this
instrument. A famous musician
said II would do away with "profes.
sional fireworks"
Max Pirani, the Austrian pianist,
showed how Liszt's Campanella, q
piece Of music impossible for the
amateur. can be played with case.
He also played several difficult
Etudes by Chopin, and Bach's organ
Fugue in d major-this last being .
work impossible Of execution on an
ordinary piano.
In addition to playing an octave
with one finger. the pianist is also
able, by another simple device, to
convert the instrument into a harp
sichord.

DINNER Table
Photography is
New London Fad

AN interesting change is slowly
but surely taking place in that
universal hobby-amateur photog-
raphy.
The mystery Of the dark room has
become thing of the past. Instead
OF having to develop his plates In
the dim illumination Of the ruby
lamp, the photographer Is able to-
day to place them for a minute In
darkness in a simple solution which
renders them no longer sensitive to
light and then to carry on all the
usual operations in a comfortably
lighted room.
This remarkable invention, shown
In London for the first time few
months ago, is rapidly being adopted
by photographers the world over
and is creating a revolution in what
Is probably the most popular and
widespread hobby there Is.
Photographic plates and films are
so extraordinarily sensitive to light
that pictures can be taken onNthem
WIN an exposure of one-twenty-
thousandth of a second. Yet min
utes immersion OF them In this de-
sensitizing liquid makes II possible
TO expose them to the light OF an

EDINBURGH, Dec. n.-A re-
markable natural phenomenon
has been discovered at Portree, in
the Island Of Skye. This consisted
of a photograph Of a name and .
date in the heart of a beech tree
which had been blown down and Is
believed to have been caused by

When a log from the tree was
being split with an axe, burnt
patches were noticed in the heart.
These were found to be a repre-

the form in which such carvings
are frequently found on the bark
Of trees.
The bark of the tree at this
point bore a charred indentation,

inal carving was before the trans
ference to.the pulpy interior of the
tree by the electrical force of the

Stimulating Home Ownership.

One of the chief ways in which home
ownership can be stimulated is
through the education of the general
public. OF late years it has become
apparent to the leaders in the real es-
tate profession that many people have
not purchased their homes, not
through inability or unwillingness, but
simply because of their lack of
knowledge. They fear that perhaps
they might find themselves engaged in
a venture about which they know
nothing, and hence it does not ap.
peal to their conservatism. The one
best method of educating the public
is by visualizing the processes in
yolved in the acquisition of home
and home site. This is best done by
having representative men in the in
dustries allied to home construction
brought together at an exposition to
show people at first hand what has
been done and what may be accom-
plished in the future and to give them
authoritative information and definite
costs.

Hats That Shade the Eyes.

You can even wear little one, If
you wish, and If the character Of your
dress allows it. But, as a rule. the
simplicity Of the informal summer
dresses rather demands the floppy and
artistic look of broad-brimmed hat.
Just now there is general prefer
ence for straw hats-those that nre
woven so that they show the light
through their meshes and still form n
shade for the eyes. There are others
made of those little overlapping rows
of horsehair braid and lined with
filmy bits Of chiffon which have Il
way of looking about as cool as any
thing you could find for wear during
hot summer weather. They are light
on the head, too. not in any way max
ing you feel as though you are water
carrier from the weight that lies upon
your head.
The bows of ribbon are little new
er than the trimmings of flowers and
Just little bit more exclusive, espe-
cially when they are of that stiff and
perky variety that makes the wearer
have sense Of being fresh-looking
even though the day is hot enough to
remove any real feelings of that sort.

KEEP THE CITY BEAUTIFUL
Annual cIean-Ups Al! Right in Their
Way, but There Is Very Much
Better Method.

The annual spring cleanup in Kansas
City has become well known event.
But why should it be an event? Why
not continuous process?
Recently an excellent method of
keeping the streets always in repair
has been put into operation. Why
can't something of this kind be made
to apply to the cleaning not only Of
streets but of yards, lots and other
places that demand attention? There
is provision for street cleaning, of
course. But the street-cleaning forces
do not receive the encouragement and
help they ought to have. Their work
often Is nullified or made difficult by
the carelessness of individuals who
throw papers and various kinds of ref
use where they will be most unsightly
and generally Objectionable.
Keeping city beautiful and clean
all the year around does not stop with
the operation of any city department.
1t becomes a part of the civic duty of
every individual; 1t must be checked
up to every home as we'll as to a
health or street cleaning department.
1t may become u matter of habit with
the people. 1t should be prompted by
pride; a regard for the rights of neigh
bors; for what visitors may think of
the city; for the best things in respect
| to appearance and public health

Scott, Kansas, May Be Cited as
Case In Point.

Half dozen years ago there were
two years when the wheat around Fort
Scott did not come to harvest and, as
wheat was the only product Of the
community the town was left fiat.
Even the merchants closed their stores
and moved away.
The chamber of commerce decided
that the community needed more d.
verslty of production. 1t studied the
situation and decided that the dairy in
dustry would fit logically into its
scheme. The farmers owned only
scrub cattle, but despite this the cham
Der went down to Kansas City and
induced the big milk users to establish
three shipping stations In the Fort
territory. The farmers were much
surprised to find that they could
get money for milk which formerly
had been used only as swill for hogs
Then the chamber Of commerce took
its second step. 1t organized an ex-
cursion and took forty of its most
progressive farmers to that part of
Wisconsin where the dairy industry is
most highly developed. 1t showed
them just what first-class dairy farms
and first. class dairy cattle were and
how such an enterprise is properly
operated.
But the chamber did not stop here.
1t raised enough money to buy a train
load of the best milk cows it could
find in the United States, had them
shipped to Fort Scott and sold to the
farmers at cost, which was less than
the price they would have had to pay
If they had bought individually. Last
year this community sold half a mil
lion dollars worth of milk alone. That
wealth would not have come to Fort
Scott but for the sale of milk. 1t
