American Composers
Gena Bransconbe.

CENA BRANSCOMBE is well estab-
lished as one of the most gifted
of American composers, possessor Of
genuine ability to create original
music combined with an innate sense
OF the relation between lyric and
melody. 1t is Felix Borowski who
taught this American woman compo-
sition, that claims the distinction of
discovering her creative talent. Miss
Branscombe studied with him for
seven years
Gena Branscombe was born In Pic
ton' nvbtsr ontarie' rio sn1H Canada and is the
Branscombe. Following her high
attended the Chicago Musical Col
lege and studied piano with DR.. zieg-
field. Arthur Friedman and Rudolph
with Borowski. She won the gold
medal twice for her compositions,
which were awarded to her by the
Chicago Musical College. The fol-
ander Won Fielitz. She then accepted
the position as head Of the piano de-
partment of the Whitman College
Conservatory of Music, Walla Walla,
Wash.
In 1908 Miss Branscombe Travelled
in Europe and resumed her studies
with Mr.. CAM in Berlin, Germany,
where she also was a pupil Of the
great Englebert Humperdinck. In
1910 she married John Ferguson
Tenney Of New York city and has
made her home in that metropolis
ever since. She now devotes most of
her time to composition and concert
work
Gena Branscombe's songs have
been sung by many famous artists.
Her works have great appeal because
of a delightful blending of melody,
fascinating rhythm and intelligent
construction. affording worthy op-
portunities for the best of artists to
display their voices 20 advantage.
Although Miss Branscombe has been
largely content to use lyrics by
others, she has written the words
for a few Of her songs. including
Three Improvised Songs for Enthu-
siastic Children" Songs of Child
hood" and by St Lawrence Water"
She also wrote poems for her choral
arrangements Of such beautiful melo-
dies as Beethoven's "Minuet in c."
Saint Saens' Swan" and others Of
similar type. Among her most re-
cent choral works is Spirit OF

accompaniment. given as the feature

The Life" of Gums.

THE life" of a gun depends upon
the progress of erosion, which
sooner or later is bound to impair the
accuracy OF fire. Erosion is caused
by the. action of the explosive gases
at high temperature and pressure.
The hot gases cause q thin film of
steel to absorb heat. The film ex-
pands and becomes set Upon the
release Of the pressure 1t contracts,
which action causes minute cracks
that grow larger with every dis
charge. AS they increase in size
gas, and that tends to enlarge them
still further. The inner surface thus
becomes roughened and the bands
begin to corrode.
Finally the bore becomes SO en-
larged that it allows the gasses to
escape. The shell does not then ac-
quire it's proper rotation. and it's
flight becomes cratic All guns ex-
cept small ones are now constructed
with Innings in the tube. which, when
the bore Is worn out, are removed
and replaced by new ones. The cost
80 per cent of the cost of the gun.
There appears to be no limit to the
number of times that q gun can be
relind.
States Army are considered to be
worn out after 5000 to $500 rounds
have been fred. Small naval guns
can be fired about 1000 times before
they are regarded as worn out.
Large twelveinch and fourteen inch
naval guns are considered to have q
life Of from $50 to 200 rounds, on one
lining. Low-velocity guns, such as
howitzers and mortars, have corre-
spondingly longer lives than high
velocity guns of the same caliber,
because Of the pressures they develop
and hence the lower temperatures.
