A BUDGET OP GEKEKAL NEWS HEJB8.
The advent of Alfred wid Heinrich
Gruenfeld at Old City Hall to-morrow even
ing Tonus the prime event of the week.
Both are artists of established reputation
throughout Europe, and have this season,
won on their merits a cordial recognition as
ranking among the very best performers
that have appeared in this country as welL
With Beethoven's Sonata, p 69, for
pianoforte and violincello, the gifted broth
ers will together open the programme to
morrow evening. 3Ir. Alfred Gruenfeld
will give theso pianoforte solos: Beeth
oven's "Andante Pavori"; Jto'de's Liebes
Tod," arranged from -Wagner by
Liszt; Schumann's F major .Nov
elette, D minor Bomanze and
"Traeumerel," and a Rrong of compositions
of his owr Mr- Helnrleli Grnenfeld's fine
cello will lie heard In part of Mollqne's Con
certo: "La Clnquantalne," by Gabi-lel-Marle;
Jloizko-ivskl's Giillarre;" a Bomanze by his
brother; Boceherlni's Mennetto and Pop
per's "Vlto." .Mr. K. Kaschoska will play
accompaniments.
Among tne many critical encomiums
heaped upon Alfred Gruenfeld the following
open letter from Hans von Bnelow la es
pecially worth noting:
"He Is not onlv tbe foremost representa
tive ot the model school of Kullat, but so
distinct an individuality as to Impress most
favorably both heart and ear. I foibsar to
mention those qualities concerning which
all critics are in accord: The wonderful ver
satility of nls technlaue. the softness, ten
derness and fullness, the beautiful light and
shade or his touch, etc. His interpretation of
Schumann's masterwor&s, and especially of
his Etudes Symphoniques and JTantasie op.
17, 1 must declare the nearest possible ap
proach to perfection. Sncli deep poetic-conception
united with such minute correct
ness, those compositions have seldom been
favored with. If then," concludes Von Bu
low, "ifr. Editor, I should still have the
good fortune of ueinp regaidedas competent
to judge, permit me to request you to award
Altred Gruenfeld a foremost place among
those Virtuosos, whom It is leally worth
while considering in earnest."
Mozkowski, is said to have expressed
himself thus: "Only great individualities
are still capable of fascinating an audience,
and even those only when their playing has
the power of strongly appealing to aud
pleasing the senses. Among those pianists,
who from the minute of their first appear
ance have laid claim upon general attention,
the "piano hero,' Alfred Gruenfeld, must be
assigned the highest rank."
Pittsburg Is glad to welcome two such
artists as Alfred aud Heinrich Gruenfeld.
Com'ng of a Orent Pianist.
It Is a pity that Mr. J. H. Qlttins, who in
local manager for both events, could not
succeed In spacing tho visit of tlio Gruen
felds and that of Eugon d'Albai'C farthor
apart. As it Is, the attention of
the publia must be divided to
day. For JVAlbort'a comlnp here on,
Monday of next week, (March 31,
not 31, as has boen mis-stated) to give tho
first of his present scries of planotorte re
citals in America, Is being looked to with the
liveliest anticipations. Tne concensus of
opinion on the part of the world's foremost
critics, as to the gifts and standing or
D' Albert, was well summed up the other day
by the Musical Courier In these paragraphs:
lt Is as a player and Interpreter of the
works of Beethoven, Schumann, Chopin ana
that class or profound composers that his
greatest sifts have been shown, and which
have won the unstinted admiration of tho
public and compelled such musical critics
as H. Ehilicu to say of, .recent .-performances
in Berlin and Hamburg:
'He is tbe foremost of pianists and tie.
greatest interpreter 01 lieecnoven nest
to 'Joachim;' or Emll Krauze to write that
'his rendering of Beethoven's concerto
stands above all criticism;' or Prof. Boe
decker to say 'the artistic impression which
he made will resound long In living remem
brance;' or William BlancC to say he is un
questionably the greatest ot living pianists,"
and tbe Berivner Zeitung to proclaim him "In
deed the first. .
"These are but repetitions in kind of what
onr own eminent critics had already said.
Mr. Krehbiel's words were there is no risk:
in saying that be is the most magnetic player
that has been heard in America singe Rubin
stein.' H. T. Finck, said: 'Such stupendous
planism has not been heaidin-New York
since Bubinstein was here;' and Mr. Hen
derson wrote: 'It is safe to say he it the
greatest living pianist. S'Albert is that
rare thing In a pianist, the combination or a

Hew Ideas In mimical Study,
Mr. Beverlase Webster's Saturday series
of meetings tor what he calls "experimen
tal and analytical class study of music,"
have, got well underway for the season
While private affairs, these meetings repre
sent a species of aotlvlty of great value In
tbe musical life of the community. A gen
eral outline of the subjeots and methods
adopted is thus given by Mr. Webster:
Some of tbe special subjects are: Form, in
its philosophical basis, andits scientific ap-
Fillcatlon, In tbe symphony, sonata, opera,
ague, song, rondo, etc.; motive, and its de
velopment; sentence, phrase and section;
meter, rhythm and acoent; interval, scale
structure and Its history; mode, key and
cadence, fundamental harmony and modu
lation; melody and accompaniment: all to
be suggested by analysis of a selected com
position, and to be enforced by full Illustra
tion: and, in private and subsequent lessons,
by a practical and minute application of the
Sriuciples discovered to the technique and
iterpretation of the work analyzed.
In the three sessions already held these
subjects have been discussed: I. "Form (la
music) a a Multiple of Time Units." II.
The Performer as Interpreter." Ill, "The
Triod as the Smallest Possible Hannonlo
Unit."
Tbe necessarily short programmes at the
end have the Etude la Dflat, Uszt and
Tarantelle, Chopin; Saltarelle, Mattel; Pol-
acca, Weber; Bomance, Jadassohn; Gavotte
and Gigue from tbe suite in G, Baeh; Album
Leaf and Bomance in T, 8ohumann; "Aven"
and "Arlequln," Sohuman; and two songs by
Lasseu. These works were performed, in
the order of the semicolons, by Mrs. J. H.
Speer; Miss Lewis; Miss Marshall; Miss
Smith; Miss Webster; Miss McConway; Miss
Patterson; and Mrs. Lucas.
For this and other evidences of a higher
and more intelligent kind of music study in
onr midst, let us all be devoutly thankful.

The V. cisterslnger in Italian.
Tbe Italian performance of "Die Meister
singer" has set the New York connoisseurs
a0h Inking.- Here Is what Mr. James G.
Huneker, a sane Wagnerite, says of it:
The 'iUlStarsinger was a sword which
cut both ways last week, as the ultra admir
ers of tbe German tonyua (I don't call them
Wagnerltes, for ir they were Wagnerites
they would enjoy Wagner music if It were
sumr in Portuguese) discovered that some-
"how or other the vocal phrases of the great
master seemed all the more vocal because
sung In Italian, and the anti-Wagnerite
(stupid, purblind Idiots) found ont that
Wagner's opera nraa really music and that
Soldi could conduct It. Well, seven years Is
a long time to wait for all this, but better
late than never, so shake hands across the
bloodless chasm of melndice and trr to en
joy a work of art, no matter if it does not ap
peal to your trioai instincts."
And these lines are in Tax Dispatch's
New Yoik letter from the art critic, M. G.
Kensselaer, who reaches much the samo
conclusion from a different point of view
and with some side aunrarks with which all
will not agree:
"1 was brought up on the Melsterslnger'
in Germany, and I still care more for It than
for any other opera. I have heard It sung a
great many times and by a great many fa
mous singers. 1 know the German text al
most by heart, and I think itso merry and
witty, poetic and graceful, that I should like
lor once to hear It spoken instead of sung
with the exoeptlon, naturally, of the many
lyrics. 1 did not suppose that any singer
could bring out novel beauties In this music,
or that with other than German words it
could be at all satisfactory.
"But the other night I heard it in Italian.
with Jean de Besike, Lastalle and Alb&nt,
and with unrenowned Italian artists la the
secondary parts. And behold, it was a new
thing and a lovelier than ever berore. Mar
ried to Italian .vocables tbe most familiar
passage seemed doubly melodious, and
passages which before had made no special
impression seemed as charming as the best.
It was idle to pi otest that the text "lost"
by translation, or course it did when one
read the book: But when one listened to Se
Beszkeoreven to the humblest of his fel
lows, how infinitely it gained! One little
phrase would have been quite convincing
by itself. When Walther stands by the
singer's chair he softly sings a sentence,
which begins In German, Fur dich geliebte,
and we feel that we are hearing the gem of
the whole long opera. But when he sang it,
Per te, o cara, we felt that we had never
leally heard it before.
"In short, there was no note in tbe opera
which had not gained by the translation of
the text. Habit, sentiment, prejudice, all
went for.nothlng. The ear asserted Itself as
the true judge in the matter. Just as the eye
does when we look at a piece of
sculpture. To hear a song sung first
in German and then in Italian reveals as
much as to see a statue first in plaster and
theninmaible. The form in both cases re
mains precisely the same. But the sound of
the song changes as gieatly as tbe surface of
the statue. There is as much difference be
tween a language of consonant and one of
vowels as between the opaqne.coarse-gralned
quality of plaster and the fine-grained, trans
lucent quality of marble."

Ma. J. P. McCozxux and Mr. J. Boyd Duff,
of the Mozart Clnb, came' baok from the
Chicago conference a week ago, enthusias
tic over the musical prospects of the World's
Fair. A full representation of the various
choral societies was present, and the field
was thoroughly gone over. It is not yet de
elded whether this combined ohorus is to be
heard at the formal dedication, October 12,
1893, or at some date during tbe Exposition
period in 1898.
Dr. Hakslick, Johann Strauss, and other
Viennese musicians speak highly of Mas
senet's new opera "Werther." As a vocal
composition it may be classed among the
most attractive operatic productions. Mas
senet bas thoroughly grasped the true vein
of refined melancholy that runs through the
first part of "Werther," and graduating bis
music in sympathy with the progress of the
plot, he finishes by setting forth In masterly
style the final despair and death of tbe hero.
Mr. Habrt B. Bbockxtt. Jr., will begin
May 1 tbe duties of his new post as solo tenor
of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, Brook

Brockett's genial personality and genuinely
artistlo activity, he is certainly to be con
gratulated upon his selection for one of tbe
foremost cnuicn positions in tne country.
Mr. and Mrs. Brockett will occupv a cottage
at AsbnryPark from May until October,
when they will take up their permanent
.residence in the City of Churohes.
BuBirtSTEis told D' Albert a few weeks ago
that he is yet undecided whether to come to
this country. The' fact that the great
Bussiaixbas lately given charity concerts at
St. Petersburg, Vienna, Dresden and Berlin,
and that his playing has aroused all the old
time enthusiasm among the crltios and the
public, removes tbe chief reason for ques
tioning tbe probability and tbe wisdom,
too of his making another tour over here.
The old giant has evidently been practicing
a bit and is not quite ready to abandon the

seemed as if be had already done so. We
can now entertain some faint hopes of hear

Great Problem of the Bay.
LARGE PLANTS THE SECRET OP IT.

and Good Conductors.
UTILITT OP THE WELDING PEOCESS
IWRlrTEX FOB THX DISPATCH.!
Precisely how the filaments of tbe Ameri
can incandescent lamps of to-day are made
is a trade secret The man
ufacturers prefer to trust
the honor of their em
ployes rather fban to de
pend on the protection of
the Patent Office. At first
tbe carbon filaments sel
dom lasted more than CO
hours, rendering the cost
of lamp renewal as much as the cost of car
rent. , In endeavoring to prolong the life of
a lamp it was npticed that the filament was
brighter at some point than others, indicat
ing a variation of size. Could this be rem
died? Could the filament be made of uni
form diameter? Fortunately, yes. Several
years before, M. Duprez, a French chemist,
had recorded one of those observations, so
common in science, which, barren at the
time they occur, afterward spring into
fruitfulness through disclosing relationship
to a puzzling problem. He noticed that
carbon heated in an atmosphere of hydro
carbon received a deposit of an extremely
dense form of carbon upon its surface.
Here lay the key to increasing the dura
bility of the lamp filament Immersing it
while luminous in a heavy hydro-carbon gas
or liquid, it took on a solid coating, and
where the filament was hottest and therefore
the thinnest the deposit became thickest
In this ingenious fashion the thread was
made to repair its own defects, with marked
improvement in lasting quality. To a
further experimental refinement the incan
descent lamp owes another point of its pres
ent excellence. For a lamp's success it is
essential that the air be exhausted from its
bulb as thoroughly as possible.
Two Other Important Discoveries.
Notwithstanding the use of the best
pump, Mr. Swan, one ot the pioneers of elec
tric lighting, detected that his filaments
were attacked by oxygen. It occurred to
him that perhaps a little of this gas might
have been left in the substance of the car
bon itself, for he well knew how strong was
the affinity between gases and porous forms
of carbon. Thought he, it may be that if
the filament were kept aglow during the
pumping operation the oxygen could be dis
lodged. Experiment proved the soundness
of his surmise, and another advance in lamp
making was scored. In leading tne wires
bearing a current into a lamp inventors en
countered a good deal of difficulty. This
was overcome on discovery that platinum,
when heated, has much the same rate of ex
pansibility as glass. An arc light being
five times as brilliant as an incandescent
lamp, in proportion to the current supplied,
there is a widespread demand for an arc
lamp of moderate size suitable for interior
illumination. In this branch of invention
German electricians have brought out a
better device than any originated on this
side of the ocean.
The electric light, perfect as it is. wonld
know no rival were its cost brought within
an easily feasible limit Let ns briefly con
sider how this may be done, as estimated by
Mr. John Van VIeck, one of the foremost
electrical engineers ot New York, His
computations chiefly turn on the immense
economy which attends doing work on a
large instead of a small scale. In arriving
at the conclusion that the cost of current
could be reduced to one-fourth or one-fifth
its present figure, he takes account of what
may be saved in production, transmission,
and varied service. Steam engines pt the
marine type, multiple expansion, operated
at a pressure of 250 to 300 pounds to the
square inch, could be employed. With
such a plant, working in units of not less
'than 2,000 or 3,000 horse power, the con
sumption of coal would be half the quantity
usual in central stations.
Economr in Transmitting Current.
In generating the current, three-phase
dynamos, snob, as those erected at Lauffen,
in Germany, last summer, could be em
ployed. Taking a leaf out of the experi
ence gained in transmitting electricity from
Lauffen to Frankfort the transformer at the
producing station should lift to a pressure
of 10,000 volts. For the safe and economical
transmission of such a current to and through
New Tork. the Ferranti conductor is pro
posed. This conductor consists of a thick,
hollow tube of copper around which is
wrapped 400 to 500 thicknesses of paper im
pregnated with ozokerite, one of the best
insulators known. Encircling the paper is
an annular tube of copper which serves as
the return conductor, and which may, if de
sired, be safely connected with the ground.
This second tube, covered with more paper
and a stout iron pipe, is laid in a faib-way
or under water.
The security attending the Ferranti con
ductor has been abundantly demonstrated.
When, tor example, it has been pierced or
divided by an ax, the current has passed
from the core to its metallic covering with
out doing the slightest damage. Its effici
ency is not less remarkable than its safety.
Were a stretch of it laid from New York to
Buffalo, it wonld offer no more resistance
than a mile of the subway conductor now
doing duty in Broadway, New York City.
With feasible improvements, which wonld
add bnt one-fifth to its cost, the Ferranti
main could carry a current of 50,000 volts
as effectively as it now conveys one of
10,000.
JEurope Ahead of V In Economy.
Even if the present low pressures of 250
to 1,000 volts were to remain unchanged,
there wonld be decided gain in substituting
wholesale for retail methods of distribu
tion. To lay wires of ten-fold capacity
would call for bnt five times the existing
investment And with the very diversified
applications of the current an important
saving comes In. As motive power it is in
demand during several hours of the day
when but few lamps are burning. The
same thing is true ot its manifold uses in
electro-deposition. This enables the plant
at the producing station to be employed
much more fully and evenly than would
otherwise be the case. And engines and
dynamos, like men, earn most when they
are doing their full stint
Mr. Van Vlectc's plans, if given effect,
would probably realize at a bound an ex
pansion of electrical demand, such as on
existing lines of supply would come only at
tne end ot a lengthy roll of years, if ever.
In taking the steps indicated the electrical
engineers of America wonld bnt follow a
line ot development already marked ont In
the practice of their brethren across the
sea, and to some extent already begun here
and there in the United States. In Eng
land and Germany the steam pressures at
central stations are commonly much higher
than the American standard; dynamos are
of better design than those in this country;
the voltages employed in transmission are
generally higher, as between Deptford and
London, for Instance; and in every detail of
distribution a close economy ha been
studied with results very desirable here.
Not Yet Available for Heating.
Bnt for one limitation electricity wonld
be adopted not only ior lighting and as
motive power, but for heating. Generated
as it usually is by a steam engine, it has to
pay tbe weighty exaction demanded by the
engine in converting heat into work a levy
never less than 85 per cent and generally
exceeding 90. Scanning the horison as.

keenly as he may, the electrician finds it
bare of promise for the supersedure of tho
steam engine. While this continues tobe
his fortune, the separate fifes foe heating:
and cooking we know so well will remain to
demand care and drudgery. Although
electricity cannot be economically applied
to ordinary warmintr nd cooking, it yet can
perform special tasks of heating in much
the cheapest and most effective way. In tha
Cowles furnace a smelter can take a pair of
electrodes,Vor current carriers, into a mass
of refractory metal, or ore, and gain results
hardly possible in a fuel furnace. Heat of
any desired intensity is liberated at the
exact point where there is work for it to do,
not outside a retort, but within it, exerting;
its full effect at the very core of the ma
terials to be treated. To this process is due
the marvelous cheapening of aluminium
within the past few years, as well as the

supply at moderate prices of aluminium and
other alloys of the utmost value in the arts.
The metal worker is further indebted to
the electric current. By methods perfected
thronsrh the labors of Prof. Eliha Thomson
electric heat is now in wide acceptance for
welding. So much is the operation simpli
fied that a machine all bnt automatic per
forms it with great rapidity. The opera
tor's care is limited to feeding the machine
and disconnecting the current the instant is
has finished its work.
Application ot Electric Weldlnj.
The machine welds the tires of the wheels
for bicycles, carriages and wagons, and it
joins pipes and band saws with a bond not
only stronger than that made by the black
smith, but stronger than the metal itself
proves at any other point In uniting wires
for the telegraph service it overcomes the
loss of current taking place inthe old-fashioned
form of splicing; binding the wire
wound around gnns, it gives tbem added
strength; in joining a whole breadth of steel
cable for the standing rigging of a ship, it
has performed a feat otherwise impossi
ble. It brings ship chains and anchors
to be one piece, and it makes a railroad
chair one with it rail. In delicate work,
as in fine brass or wrought iron grills, elec
tric welding produces no dirt, tarnish or
discolorations. Moreover, in the field of
repair, it fills a place of its own creation.
A broken propeller blade or engine shaft
can be easily bronght to welding heat at the
point of fracture. There is an important
saving of time and money when the re
pairer can thus be taken to its work, in
stead ot the work having to go to the re
pairer. In a minor direction this new
method is applied in lumber mills, where
teeth accidentally broken from a saw are re
placed in a minute or two.
In every task to which the current is thus
applied its effectiveness is hastened by
a peculiarity of electrieal conduction
When two pieces of metal touch each other
at any point where their contact is imper
fect, the current is resisted, as the phrase
goes, and resistance means a heating effect.
Proceeding from a point or two, contact
spreads nntil the fusion in which welding is
accomplished takes place.
Tying Knots in Steel Bods.
Sometimes the metal worker employs
electric heat at a temperature much below
that necessary in welding. He uses it to
soften a strip, bar or rod which has to be
bent, twisted or coiled. In this branch of
his art he is wont to excite the on-looker's
wonder by tying a knot in a.leDgth of stout
steel. By a new process he softens a rivet
with electric , heat, securing tit by extreme
pressure. In another application of the
current he cuts away sheet metal as if it
were wax. Taking the electric are, such as
serves for out-of-door illumination, he has
an agent more effective than theblow-pipei
and only one-fourth as costly. Were it not
for its blinding glare its field would be much
more extensive than it is.
Copper for conductors shonld be of the
most possible pnrity, for pure copper means
economy of the most important kind to the
electrician, especially at a time when lonsr
distance transmission is to the fore. At this
point one line of electrical advance pro
W
Welded Cable.
motes another. What is virtually au-electro-plating
process deposits copper from
solntionsof ore in a higher state of pnrity
than the chemists of the last generation
thought possible. To-day the metal mar
kets quote a copper of 1 to 2 per cent above
the purity par of the Mathiessen standard.
A horse power usually deposits four pounds
of this high grade metal per hour.
Wonders of the Current
And other metals share in the advantage
which the cheap current of the dynamo has
given to the arts. In the new public build
ing of Philadelphia the tower for a distance
of 213 feet to its crest is to be constructed of
iron, the surface of which, some 100,000
square feet in area, is to be plated with
aluminium.
A curious and unexpected fact which
comes out in electro-deposition is that cer
tain alloys are deposited precisely as if they
were simple metals. Brass, for 'example,
can be laid on as easily as copper.
Electricity as a chemical agent, as a
source of light and heat, as amotive power
for factories, houses and railways, stands
ready to confer benefits vastly greater than
any it has so far been permitted to bestow.
Fully to enter upon its new career it nmst
be produced at the lowest possible cost For
such production the electrical engineer is
thoroughly prepared. For its distribution
at the lowest possible price the community
must look to itself. In supplying a city
with electricity competition is as much out
of the question as in supplying water. In
consideration of monopoly privileges a
municipality shonld take pains to insure a
perfect fairness of charge. Otherwise the
most versatile and valuable servant of man
must continue to stand idle in tbe market
place. Geokge Iles.
