Right down in his heart. Whitley

He had feeling Of comfort and of
safety when he was at her heels.
He had feeling that. no matter
what happened. she would see that
no harm came to him. So he meek

Little Mrs. Peter led the way along

been taking notice. he would have
discovered that she tried to be al

or bramble. Ii there was any dis

she would first sit up to look and
listen. Then she would give a signal
and they would run as fast as their
legs could take them to the next
safety point. Finally. they reached

they stopped. You see. it was get

MUSIC TRANSLATED
INTO VISIBLE FORM
Special Dispatch to rha star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DANVILLE, Va, December 28.-Allen
8. Clarke, q Danville radio amateur,
who, In the pioneer days of the science,
conducted tests with KDKA, Pittsburgh,
when it was feeling its way to develop
inent, has succeeded In translating
music to visible form through simple
expedient. His experiment is considered
important because 1t may open q new
field Of enjoyment, it is said, to persons
bereft Of hearing since, through their eyes
they may react to music and enjoy it.
Clarke attached an electric pickup
needle to a gramophone and, instead
of carrying the sound to Q loud speaker,
he attached 1t to the lead-in Of a
home-built television receiver. He
placed disc on the gramophone turn
table and started scanning the disc Of
the television In rotation. The sound
tube resulted In the ether vibrations
appearing In visible form on the small
square plate on which pictures. when
broadcast from New York, develop form.
The results were interesting, fiuc-
tuating series Of black lines Immediately
appearing, the music picture resembling
the drawings Of cubist or a futurist.
| When symphony orchestra record
was operated it was noted that the
lower register instruments, the cellos,
some Of the woodwind instruments and
the tympani created broad black streakS.
The violins and the higher pitched and
more Strident brasses whose sound
waves are OF high frequency etched flne
lines across the screen. The tempo
of the piece could be readily followed
! hv the eve and aS the instr1inrente
assembled or descended the scale there
was a corresponding movement from
right to left. TempeStuouS movements
| produced s1immering image calculated
to excite the imagination. The low
notes of baritone brought about broad,
smooth black lines while the colorature
sopranos voice assumed ocular form In
fine bands.
Carrying the experiment slightly
| farther and by producing music that
was audible at the same time that Il
was visible quiet contemplation of the
result revealed interesting analogies.
A limpid movement for strings soothing
to the ear presented q soothing picture
black streaks were undulations, while
the discordancieS Of jazz produced a
mottle patchwork Of streaks reacting on
the mind in the same way as did the
music through the ear.
Clarke intends to place before the
screen a deaf person to see ii music can
be interpreted ocularly. He is pro-
| ceeding on the theory, already estab.
| lished, that deaf persons are gifted
| with a peculiar sense of touch and
| that by lingering the diaphragm of a
loud speaker they register a definite
reaction to the music thus felt.
