Eve glanced at Adam, looking for a playful taunt, a smile, or more playful chiding. Adam was silent. Upon his brow there rested—in addition to im- maculate top het—a heavy frown. lips, his eyes, his curls were hard with anger. His Roman nose and chin were absolutely repellent with severe displeasure. Eve sighed.

Recently a Vienna busines house received from the military authorities at Prague an order for one of their employes to present himself there for his military service. There was no stamp on the envelope, and the firm bad to pay double rate in consequence, twenty hellers two-pence. Not much appreciating this they wrote to-the military people demand- ing repayment of the amount Prompt- ly came the answer that the two- pence would be refunded in due course, and in the meantime would the firm be so good as to remit one crown (tenpence) for the stamp which must be affixed to all petitions ad- dressed to official departments.—Vien- na correspondence Pall Mall Gazette.

From an Editorial in the New Ycrk Evening Post.) About 300,000 new piano’s were made last year by American manufacturers, according to the official figures. Ob- viously, nothing could have been more futile than the fears that this indus- try would be damaged by the automo- mobile mania or the great output of musical phonographs. No doubt these had their effect; but it was more than counterbalanced by the vast number of instruments needed to go with the mechanical ‘piano players,” the mand for which is now being supplied by more than seventy rival makers. There are many thousands of persons who would never have thought of buy- ing a piano had not the application of the perforated-roll principle enabled them, after an hour's experience, to play pieces whizh, hy the old method, would have required years of daily drudgery. ; It is with some degree of amuse- ment that we read the complaint of Ernest Pauer, written a quarter of a century ago, that the. escape-move- ment and other improvements in the mechanism of the keyboard had les- scened the earnest study on the part of | the player. which was formerly neces- sary for the production of tone and for securing a smooth execution. He would have been doubtless scandalized | at the which present-day - ‘piano player,” relieves the performer of all finger work, leaving his hands and his mind free to.attend-to-the expression | alone. He would have good ground for contending that heretofore the mechan- ical players have:left much to be de- sired in the production of tone and in | the matter of accenting the melody. | The toue problem still remains, no real substitute for the touch of the fingers having been found as yet; but recent ingenious inventions make it possible to empha > the melody in a way which places” such much higher artistic level. problem seems invincible: yet it is un- safe to prophes produce minutely all the details tations of masterworks by great pian- ists: others, which require no retrac- ing performer at all, but give repro- | ductions of the style of the great pian- | ists as exact as the camera's copies of their faces. The very latest marvels is the promised } v [SA dreds of n:iles apart, “long-felt want” of having tap, like gas or water. The popularization of the pianoforte music on (forty vears ago the annual output was | only about $25,000) has had as an in- evitable result the cheapening of the instruments in quality as well as in price. The best pianos in the world are undoubtedly made. in the United States but.only a very few firms can claim credit for this. The average American piano is not equal to the average Eng- glish, French, or German instrument; very often, indeed, it is so flimsy in construction as to be a fraud on the purchaser at any price. Fortunately, not only is a vigorous war being waged against the fake or ‘‘stencil” piano, but a large number of firms are at this very moment raising their prices again, to avoid further lowering in quality, or to keep pace with the increased cost of production. It is only by a resolute move in this direction that American firms can hope ever to com- pete with the Germans in supplying satisfactory instruments for export to South America, Africa, Austrailia, In- dia, and other countries with tropical climates. The German makers are credited with an income of several million dollars a year from such coclo- nial sources. So far as tone is concerned, the best American piano is a noble work ot art, equal in its way to the violins of the cld Italian maka2rs. But the best piano is very far from perfection when we look at it from other points of view, Compared with the clavichords and the haypsichords of the time of Bach and Handel, with their thin, brief, small tone, incapable of variation in loudness, the modern pianoforte is indeed a marvel of progress. Even Beetioven and Schubert had no pre monition of the luscious beauty ef tone, and the power of sustaining it which we enjoy. But in one the pianoforte is still far inferior to the voice, the violin, and the wind in- struments: creasing or decreasing the loudness of a tone or a chord after it has been struck, which is one of the most pow- erful media of musical emotion. Some judges hold that the the ‘pianoforte would be-marred if this defect and the comparative “évanes- once of its tone were overcome; it is difficult to see why this should be 50. Its distinctive qualities would re- main, but thene would be added new iiids to expression. A number of in- ventors have been at work on the prob- lem of securing a crescendo and de- crescendo for the pianoforte tone; and it is claimed that in one electric plano remarkable tone rests have been achieved. In one respect the makers of mod- ern planofortes are surprisingly and exasperatingly conservative. There can be no doubt that the keyhpard of the imstrument is capable of knprove- ments which wewld make it much eas ler te overcome the technicaldifficul- ties of performance. As long ago as 1882 a ‘Hungy musician bpamed Janko ipvented a new Kkeybeard—ar rather a set af ksyboards—en which a gingle player can perform pieces that, joa tix ordinaxy hovboard, reguire Wo de- | instruments on a | The touch | v, in view of ‘the mar- | vels already achieved.

It stands to that keyboard in the relation of the typewriter to the pen; yetit has beenstrangely neglect- ed by builders and players alike, al- though there can be no'doubt that it —or ‘something similar—will have to be adopted by the virtuoso if he is to keep up with the mechanical ‘“play- ers” in the matter of technical bril- ‘liancy. HUMAN COST OF STEEL. A Third of Pittsbura’s Deaths Due to Industrial Accidents. “Human lives sacrificed upon the altar of industry’ might well be the title of the blotter in the office of the coroner of Allegheny county, a volume that mutely proclaims what it costs beside money for Pittsburg and its district of smoky mills and grid-ironed territory to maintain its prestige in the milling, mining and mercantile marts of the world.” _ This volume, an official record de manded by the laws of the common- wealth, shows that. over a third of the deaths are violent and are the re- { sult directly or indirectly of the un- | ceasing rush and grind of the indus- tries in the Pittsburg district. Death { from natural causes, contagious dis- eases, suicides, murders and accidents {in the crdinary walks of life are not considered in this percentage attri- | buted to the “industrial juggernaut.” There were reported” to the coroner in 1906, 2660 deaths, 919 of which were the result of accidents in mills, mines on railroads, Some of the victims were burned by molten metal, a blast furnace burst or a huge ladle was up- set in the steel mills; others were caught in the rollers in plate mills, and some were crushed in the machinery of the rail-midls, Many were killed in mines by falling slate, some by gas explcsions "and others by falls from derricks, scaffolds and like structures. Not a few met death while working about the numerous electric cranes. _ These figures are recorded so regu- larly that their magnitude is not real- | ized. The average number of deaths | reported the coroner is about 200 a month. For the first five months of the present year there were 1095 deaths, 344 of which may be classed as “sacrifices.” For the same period in the preceding there were 1015 deaths, of which 350 m2y be put in the same category. Not all the ever,-can be the ‘‘worksaop.” mand for labor necessarily attracts many immigrants. These aliens re- sort on their one hcliday to the fes- tivities and customs of their former homes. Weddings, christenings, balls and parties are head, at which various alcoholic beverages are used most copiously. Quarrels result, and fre- quently knives and firearms are used, and there are hospital cases to be cared for. Deaths not infrequently re- sult, and so commonplace are these affrays that it is counted a ‘slow night” in local newspaper offices if at least a dozen have nct been re- ported by Sunday midnight. Comparing the loss of life by the accidents with the tonnage and pro- duction of the Pittsburg district, one life has been lost for every 50,000 tons of coal that is shipped, and the annual shipment is about 50,000,000 tons. For every 3800 cars that carry freight out of or into Pittsburg, some one is killed. This ig exclusive of cars that are carrying freight through to other points. Every 7600 tons of the 7,000.- G00 tons annual production of iron and steel has been put out at the cost of the life of one of the manipulators somewhere in its manufacture, and of the 800,000 tons annual output of steel rails every 870 tons has been put up- on the market only after some one of its producers has laid down his life. —Pittsburg correspondence of the New York Tribune. | or to how- in de- deaths, as accidents inordinate violent classed The Lake The water purest in the Great to tests by the Erie contains the of incrustants.
