GREAT VIOLINIST
TO Be HEARD In
CITY WEDNESDAY
EFREM zIMBALIST, FAMOUS
MUSICAL PERFORMER, AR
kivES m ISLAND CITY TO
DAY

Despite his fame, Efrem Zim-
halist, the renowned yioIinist who
plays here on Wednesday at the
High School, arrived this morn
ing. He Is not convinced that he
knows everything about fnabing
music on his instrument, and he
enufers fre0nentlS wisl1 hia.
nInstrious teacher, Leopold Auer.
Although he Is about 90 years
old. Prof. Auer has not aged
musicalIy, and he is as keen a
listener and as helpful guide as
ever he wasa fact which Mr..
zimbaIist finds Of great advan-
t&Re.
The friendship Of the old mas
Ter and his celebrated pupil is
deeply rooted. Last year, Mr..
Zimbalist. wit the cooperation of
Jascha Heifetz, organized gala
concert in honor Of Prof. Auer's
birthday. He enlisted the aid of
Josef Hofmann. Sergei Rach-
manInofkand 0ssip Gabrilowitsch
and the all-star event, at high
prices. netted a very large sum.
The most striking moment of the
evening came when Zimbalist and
Heifetx played a triple concerto
with another violinist--that vio-
linist being Leopold Aucr. who
still plays with the art and fire
Of his virtuoso days.
That q violinist's musical ac-
eompllshments should not be con-
fined to violin mastery is the
view Of Efrem ZimbaIist. who
plays here on Wednesday at the
High School under the auspices
Of the Art Society.
~The violinist who knows only
the fiddle" says zimbalist, "shnts
off from his vision the broader
aspects Of music. 1t is possible
to gain much from the violin. but
II you play only that instrument
and study only It's literature, you
win be in the position Of the
Englishman in Kipling's poem

"A knowledge Of the piano IS
indispensable for every musician,

to acquaintance with almost every
form Or musical composition. A
musician who has not mastered
harmony and eounterpoint lacks
the foundation which enables him
to understand usasterworks. And
finally, a musician must learn TO

from the song to the symphony,
from the etude to tho opera. Then,

Florida. On the 18th of February
The Citizen published splendid
article on Key West and the rest
of the Florida Keys from Mr.
Barron's able pen. Next day he
happened to have arrived here on
his private yacht from Cuba, and
both he and Mr.. Bancroft gave
valuable interviews 10 representa-

completely worn out. The first thing
we did was to offer her food, which
she attacked ravenously. After a
little while she told us her astound-
ing tale.
Many years previously a young

had made his ways down the Pastaza.

runs parallel with the Morona and
Immediately below it, and established
a mission post among the Andoan In
dams which he called Andoas.
At the time of which 1 write the
priest was an old man, head Of n
flourishing center of religion and
farming. Now the girl Breginia
came from somewhere near Andoas
and had become one of the old priests
most trusted and accomplished as
SiStantS.
She had shown such a capacity for
learning that he taught her the mar
riage and baptismal services all in
the Quicha dialect. and conferred on
her certain powers whereby she
could go among the semi-converted
tribes and offiCiate at those cere-
monies.
At length she came to the Zaparos

Strange Indian Girl Assists Americans Who Are Facing

the light of after events I have little
hesitation in saying that our lives
were saved by the most remarkable
chance meeting which / have ever
experinced
One of us happened to look out
toward midstream. In a moment we
were standing rooted to the bottom
of the canoe, staring in blank
amazement at what we saw. In the
act of landing on the point of a small
island not hundred yards away was
a young Indian girl.
1t was evident that she had seen
us approaching as she swan. for she
clambered ashore, turned and sur
veyed us calmly as we padded slow
ly! toward her. There she Stood Sc
renity personif1ed, apparently utterly
alone and utterly unafraid-as I'M
afraid Of us two as of anything else
the woods might hide.
1t flashed into my mind that she
could never be facing that cruel
country alone and without one single
solitary possession of any kind
there must be an ambush. We were
being lured we'll within the range
of those thickets which grew 10 yards
behind that dispaSSionate siren.

of us wanted to let slip a chance of
obtaining help at that stage Of the
game.
So we padded quietly ahead, keep
ing as keen a watch on the little
island as we could. The girl did not
move a muscle until we were within
about 20 yards. Then She spoke, in
the Quichua tongue.
Mai manta chamungui?" Where

then:
mai man ringuichi?" Where are
you going?)
We told her we were from Bar
ranca. bound for the Cangaimi.
BY this time the nose of our dug
out had grounded on the sand. eau
tiously we landed on the tip of the
island and inquired how many were
In her party and to what tribe they
belonged We were scarcely pre-
pared for the answer:
II am alone, as you see me-" she
said.
The truth Is seldom on the lips Of
the Jivaros, but there was a ring in
that girls voice, something about

color disks simultaneously on the ro-
tating shafts and shifting them until
perfect match is secured data are
obtained for the accurate measure
ment of hay color
The bale of hay to be tested Is
opened, and a representative sample
is selected. This Is placed in the
metal container equipped with the
special wooden cover. The cover and
container are then fastened securely
together with thumbscrew attach
ments so that the wire netting Of the
cover holds the hay In place and yet
does not obscure its green color. The
container Is then fastened TO the
shaft of the electrical motor. Appro-
pirate color disks which seem to
match the hay are selected and also
put into position for comparative
study. The motor is then started.
At a speed of 1900 revolutions per
minute the blended color Of the hay
is compared with the composite color
of the rotating disks. Changes in
the color disks are made until a per-
feet match for the hay color is ulti-
mately secured. The colors of hay
and disks blend into two concentric
rings. After the match Is secured the
investigator measures the surface
area of each color disk exposed to
view. Using these data in a scien-
tific formula the color value Of the
hay specimen is then computed.
Our annual American hay crop
ranges from 90.000,00 to 10000, 00J
tons. Last year the crop amounted
to LOG. 000,0 900 tons and was valued on
the farms which produced 1t at
81, 1871 100000. Most of this hay crop
Is fed in the country on the farms
where grown. About one-seventh of
it. however, circulates in commerce.
Last year our commercial hay crop
had value Of 5000 900. 900. Science esti.
mates that the average commercial

chinerv to measure the color of hay
and determine the feeding value of
this annual 1891 100000 crop.
By placing a scientific value on the
color of hay it is possible to standard
ize hay-grading activities. Such
means that the pro
Queer receives the true monetary val
lie of his hay crop. Similarly, the
consumer purchases a, hay of prac-
tically guaranteed feeding value.
Grading hay according to its color
takes perpleXing riddles out of our
hay marketing problem - puzzles
which have complicated the CONNER
cial distribution of this important
crop ever since it was first harvested
and sold as a live stock feed.
Since early colonial days the prize
adage of the grass grower has been:
Make hay while the sun Shines
Attractive green hay of 100 per cent
feeding value obtains where the crop
is cut, cured and baled or stored UNI
der ideal weather conditions. Such
crop has a green color of maximum
value The other extreme is the
Zero per cent" green hay, which is
bleached to a straw color by eXces-
sive exposure to sunlight, rain and
general weathering.
Hay dealers have long told the story
of hay marketing experiences in the
terse sentence: Color sells the hay"
This really means that the bright
green color of properly cured hay is
an impartial judge which fixes the
price of hay arbitrarily. A bright
green color evidences that the hay
is rich in nutrition, that the man
who feeds it will cash in" on the
full value of his purchase.
On the commercial markets for
many years hay has been graded by
experts who follow sight of eve"
systems in cataloguing the quality
and value of each shipment. Briefly,
these men are so expert that they
can tell you the harvest history Of
each bale of hay which they inspect
merely by looking at it. One bale
was cut too soon: another too late.

We turned downstream on what was

What was to become Of Breginia?
To take her down to Barranca or
Iquitos with us meant slavery or
worse for her. She. too, knew enough
of the ways of the Amazon country
to realize that.
There was but one thing left. We
must take her down TO the point
where the SicuanRa meets the Mo-
roma. give her what food and stores
we could. and leave her to continue
on her journey home. 1t was a hard
struggle for her to decide, though, In
dian fashion. she showed scarcely any
emotion. She had passed through SO
much with us that she had become
greatly attached to us.
But reason prevailed, and she chose

was exposed to several days of rain.
Another was baled before all it's mois
ture was evaporated. And thus the
story goes.
The Government has needed some
dependable method of testing the &C
curacy Of its hay graders. For exam
pie. suppose an inspector suffered
slight attack of color blindness. 1t is
readily seen that his accuracy as
hay grader would be curtailed. So
the United States Department OF
Agriculture recently has been expert
menting to perfect some reliable check
method which would keep accurate
tab on the efficiency Of the hay in
spectors The offspring of this re-
search is a new and novel system for
measuring the value Of hay. 1t Is
just another of those scientific con-
tributions which Uncle Sans spe
cialists perfect and donate gratis to
commerce, industry and agriculture.
The technical appliances used in
measuring the color of hay were de-
signed by experts of the Federal Blu
reau Of Agricultural Economics and
were made in the mechanical shops of
the Department of Agriculture. They
consist of a special metal cOntainer in
which the hay specimen Is placed, a
rotating shaft turned by electricity
and to which this container is fas-
tened. and special color disks which
can be fitted into position so that
they also will be rotated by the spin
ming shaft. Science by intricate test
has found the color values of the
primary hues-red. green, yellow,
blue and purple, as well as of the
five Intermediate colors-Vellowred
green-yellow, blue green, purple-blue
and red purple. When two or more
of these colors are spun on a rotat-
| ing shaft at a high speed they blend
into one composite color By alter
mating the color disks until finally the
desired combination is secured any
color can be matched and its value
determined experimentally. This APP
plies not only to such crops as hay
but also to other commodities whose
color can thus be measured.
The color of hay Is not solid. but
is made up of the. shades, HUGS and
tints of many million different plants.

ing colors to one composite color

and was carried off to the Santiago

She went submissively. knowing
we'll enough that her head would be
the price of resistance. But IL she
was to all appearances a contented
captive like the rest, her will to con-
quer was unquenchable. Not many
months had passed before she had
her eagerly awaited chance of escape.
She disappeared from the Santiago,
having darted off into the inter-
minable forests on her way to death
or freedom, guided only by her d.
rectional instinct and without one
single thing wherewith to feed or
clothe herself. For several weeks
she carried on. a hunted animal in

at the hands of nature standing in
her path ahead. death at the hands
of her captors awaiting her if she
went back.
