done interesting constructive work

Three Youthful Artists
; Featured in Concert Series

THE forthcoming musical season of
1929, in so far as Washington
is concerned, promises to deal some
deadly blows at the long-standing
tradition that pre-eminence in the
concert field requires not only ma
turity but continental origin on the
part of the artist.
For example, Mrs. Wilson-Greene
has selected. as the opening attraction
of her artists course of afternoon
concerts at Polls Theater, that 100
per cent American musical product,
Marion Talley, whose musical debut
at the Metropolitan two years ago
was one of the greatest sensations
whose appearance here last season for
her concert debut was attended by a
capacity crowd.
Miss Talley's second Washington
appearance on December will be
made as the opening attraction of a
course that includes another youth
full sensation of the musical world.
Jascha Heifetz. the violinist, who has
not made local appearance in two
seasons, but who, for all his youth
he is not yet 30-is critically regarded
as one of the worlds very greatest
violiniSts
Lawrence Tibbett, the youthful Cali
fornia baritone of the Met" heard
here last Spring in both opera and
concert, will be one of the outstand-
ing artists of Mrs. Wilson Greene's
third concert series, which includes
concerts by Lucrezia Bori. Josef Hof-
mann, Sigrid Onegin and others.
Every one of these youthful stars,
it is interesting to note, is an Amer
lean. Miss Talley Is the daughter of
Missouri telegraph operator, and
Tibbett is the son of a California
sheriff Heifetz is not American born.

Shells Build Rocks

WITH respect to the wonderful
capacities that even the lowest
forms of life possess, a scientist at
tached to one Of the Government bu-
reaus has described the marvellous
shells that the radiolarian organisms
and their allies make. Each of the
animals is a minute speck Of eollodial
compound, or gelatinous slime, with.
out visible structure of any kind, yet
each constructs for itself tiny casket
'of exquisite beauty. The material
that they use is either lime or silica,
and 1t is extracted from sea water.
The shells of Polynesia are so tiny
that a woman's thinfble would hold
at least million of them. They were
made long ago in Barbados, where
they form the chief part Of layer of
rock 100 feet thick.
Countless billions of similar rock
builders still live in the sea, and their
shells accumulate in the form of soft
gray mud, or ooZe. on the bottom of
the ocean. Eventually 1t becomes
rock.

A Beautiful Alloy.

.nR. ROBERTS-AUSTEN of Eng
~ land succeeded some time ago in
making out of gold and aluminium a
compound metal or alloy which is said
10 be the most brilliant known. Its gen
eral hue is Il splendid purple, but as
it is turned In the light it reflects
bright tints of ruby coler.
A little more than three quarters
more accurately IS per cent-of the al
10y is gold the remainder being alumni
mum.
Certain of the expectations with re-
spect to the possibility of substitute
ing aluminium for steel and iron are
not likely to be realized. hut that
metal is proving of great Use in com,
bination with others. and the discovery
by DIR. Roberts-Austen is expected to
lead to the production of very beauti
full effects in jeWelry.

Star Count Estimated.

Astronomers estimate the number
of stars at 50 ,oOo. 900 900. according to
DIR. c. G. Abbot, director of the astto-
physical observatory of the Smith
sonian Institution. The first step in
attaining this estimate. he says. is
the elimination of the idea that the
number of stars is infinite. This is
accomplished. says the Pathfinder, by
the argument that il the stars were
infinite in number and if space We're
infinite in extension. the whole vault
Of the heavens would glow as brightly
as the sun.
