Partiais are always feeble rela- | fundamentals and overtones are mdi- . tlon from a high point reveals the Boston ese 6oul vibrating in unison to a deep note comparatively near New York's. Buffalo Is somewhat similar. Washington, when Congress is in session, is said to have such hot notes that they cannot be written on paper without dashes, while the under tones are scandalous and the overtones often get into a free flght. Parades and celebrations with plenty of cheering yield a shrill tone way up in the Bcale— D4. This is the twelfth above the metropolitan fundamental. Anger makes a crowd rumble downward with a low In tensity, but great content of sound. A lively political meeting, or a mob bent on lynching, produce a sound which Is about a fifth below A 2. or Dl. There are great possibilities In the using of this knowledge to maintain law and order. Suppose that sheriffs and policemen had tuning forks and ascertained the pitch of a political meeting or a riotous gathering. F sharp would be justification for calling out the militia, and E flat, or shortly before, would be time for the police to draw clubs. NOT MUSIC OF TEE SPHERES. Among Industrial symphonies, steel works which make rails out of ingota al most take the cake. When the white-hot ingot is drawn through the rollers there is a high screaming shriek, as if one hun dred prime donne were executing Wag ner's "Ride of the Valkyries." There is. a deep fundamental and a harsh, hideous see saw between A 5 and the fourth below. The auditor feels as if his ear drums were being operated on without stovaine. This is cer tainly not the music of the spheres nor the most attractive kind of Industrial har mony. Nor is it possible to improve it, as in the case of a boiler factory, whose dis continuous resonances might well be welded by a conductor into a tolerable, if rather deafening, tone poem. If a number of boil ers were made at once and the men swung their hammers in unison, a low funda mental and sundry overtones would be pro duced. A careful scoring of light and heavy hammers would put Verdi's anvil chorus in the shade. The case is similar with the air hammers used by riveters on steel office structures. "When the tapping of several hammers chances to coincide there is a faint funda mental of Cl. surmounted by a multitude of clattery overtones. Generally the ham mers are too slow, making only about ten strokes a second, while twenty strokes a second are needed to produce a musical sound. The lowest tone on the piano con sists of twenty-seven vibrations to the second. However, when the merry riveters' hammers overlap the sounds coalesce to to the ear, though briefly, and a musical sound is heard. The ear catches a note that is a short in duration as one-sixteenth of a second. The exhaust of a locomotive at the start is only a series of shocks, but it becomes A 2 when the train is speeding, and there are intermingled overtones of the wheels a flfth above the fundamental. A long Pullman train has a deep tone, while a light fast train ascends th<* scale. The click of its rails is not strictly musical, but it is a permissible part of the indus trial instrumentation. Every one has noticed the pleasing variation in the sound of en gine whistles approaching and receding. A printing press at full speed has a fundamental tone of D 2, and a strong fifth above, which is A3. It is said that there are dissonant overtones ar.d a brassy color of sound when yellow newspapers are be ir.g printed. Telegraph offices have a low fiindamental of A3 beneath the multitudi nous clicking and the clatter of dissonant overtones. In telephone offices tnere is a vocal effect seesawing between G2 and C 4. due to the mezzo-soprano range of the girl operatives. Sometimes a subscriber makes a complaint over the -wires, and then there ar<- overtones thai reach high C or even fail off the upper end of the scale. THE GRASS CUTTER'S NOTE. While the farmer, seated on his horse drawn gras< cutter, trolls a ditty on the Joys of bucolic life. h;s machine contrib ute the note in C 4 sharp. In harvest time a deeper and more emotional utterance is afforded by the reaping machine, the same bein* F3 sharp. The reaper has a tender "vox" huinana" effect, but when it strikes a rock or gets out of kilter in some w^y. the farmer spoils the music with his ob jurgations. (L sawmill is. full of music which only needs to be regulated in order to produce an enchanting effect. Every sa-v has a different tone. The circular saw produces the best continuous musical tone. By counting the revolutions and the number of teeth it is possible to ascertain tha exact tone of a saw. However, the thickness ut the wood which Is being sawed makes a difference in the tone production. As th*» teeth negotiate the thin end of a. stick of wood and travel down to the thicic end. the note descends a full octave from C 4to C 3. The band saw, which generally goes faster than the circular saw, has a tone around 82. The total music of a sawmill is a deep hum around Cl, with ramarkabte partial tones of the second, the third and the fourth. It is the throbbing of the en gines which gives the deep fundamental. The partials are stronger than the ground tone. There is a series of farcical overtona dissonances, sounding like waw-waw-waw waw, or the waila of a lovelorn catamount, which have no harmonic relation to the musical foundation. Silk or cotton mills produce noise rather than music. There 1b an immense number of small irregular shocks, caused by the striking <jf the shuttles at the ends of the loom frames. The resultant of the rounds is faint. Tug and ferryboat whistles ranee from C to CS. while the big sirens on ocean liners used in fogs shake the atmosphere with- the profound tone of Gl. The hoarse bellow or boom of the siren la an unforget table sound. When the metropolitan ■whistles ashore and afloat get together there is a resultant which comes to Ai flat. Automobiles usually limit themselves to a vigorous cough", but a six-cylinder high grade machine when speeding develops a low purr, going down to G2. Here again is i chance for the Police Department to catch lawbreakers with a tuning fork. The department sleuths could be equipped with forks which would vibrate only in re sponse to an unlawful speeding of an auto mobile A device might be arranged to register automatically the fork's vibrations on a sheet of paper, and then the only thing left for the defendant's lawyer would he to heckle the policeman on his knowl edge of Helmholtzian theory.

Low major chords could be as signed to automobile trucks, the middle register to taxicabs, minor chorda to pri vate machines, and so on. The note of the aerorjlane is at present about the same as that of the automobile, but no doubt in the future the voice of the flyer wiil be differentiated, so that pedes trians will know whether thfey are going to be run down or dropped on. There is a startling- engine of war and anarchistic destruction In the projection of musical notes tuned to the potential vibra tory quality of buildings and bridges. Every 9 ructure has a certain rate of vi bration. Some office buildings sway in the wind 3is or eight Inches out of plumb, which movement Is a factor of safety rather than otherwise; but If the vibra tion were accentuated, the result would be a collapse of the structures. Soldiers ana paraders are not allowed to march in unison across bridges for fear that the rhythm of their steps will cause a fatal vibration. Aa the walls of Jericho were made to fall by the sound of trumpets, according to the Biblical legend, so a musi cal note sufficiently reiterated would causa the downfall of the Singer Building or the collapse of the Brooklyn Bridge. The point is to get a note which coincides with the note of the structure it is designed to destroy, and the note can be obtained by figuring on the dimensions and stresses of the structure. Having ascertained the fatal note to destroy any building in New York, a military enemy far at sea might employ the telharmonic wireless method to vibrate the structure into ruin. In tho telharmonic system an electric current causes vibrations in a telephone receiver which correspond to the original impulses at the other end of the wire, thus pro ducing sound or music synthetically. The original air vibrations are re-created or exactly copied by the electric current. By adapting the system to wireless use and WILLIAM B. WHITE SCORING THE MUSIC OF INDUSTRY FOR THE BENEFIT OF TRIBUNE READERS. eliminating the present receiving method, the musical assault would be perfected. The most likely enemy to attack us in this way would be a musical nation like the Germans. When New York begins to tremble under their bombardment of sharps and flats, the government will probably commandeer all the orchestras and opera singers in town— declining to make excep tions for German artists — and assembling them at Battery Park will make them get busy with any and all kinds of music, so as to checkmate the hostile vibrations and save the country from Invasion. STUDIO NOTES. Henry Lift and his orchestra played at a ball at the Women's Club In Orange on Wednesday evening. This same orchestra will be heard at the Waldorf on January 28, at the reception of the Daughters of Ohio."

A substitute for the kitchen range as a source of supply for hot water has re cently been introduced in England. An iron block, cast round a coil of pipe, is heated by a small electric heater placed in a chamber In its centre. Outside the block is a circular tank containing the water, which in its course through the coil is heated. The electric current for the heater comes from the regular house sup ply for lighting. Aa the apparatus stores considerable heat, it may be cut off when the current Is. required for light without seriously affecting the supply of hot water. On the other hand, the heaters may be permanently connected with the electric main, independent of the light current.— Philadelphia Record. THE KAISER'S DRINKS. The Emperor William of Germany, like most hard workers, is extremely abstemi ous. Of the national beverage, beer, he seldom drinks more than two glasses in the course of the day. Whiskey he rarely touches. The chief steward of the Ham burg-American steamship Hamburg, on which his majesty took a trip, says that he drank one glass of Rhine wine at din ner. At dinners where the Emperor is the guest of honor he allows his glass to be filled a second time with champagne, but when the wine is offered him for tne third time he places his hand over his glass to show that he does not wish it to be re filled. In summer he seems to favor a long drink of orangeade. — The Gentle woman. PROFESSIONAL ENTERTAINERS. J * C. DC|IIT£7 Baritone and Teacher D L II I I £. L) of Singing. STUDIO, 836 CARNEGIE HALL.
