Violinist with the Allinnce
School of Music
Music An ii language.
Music as a language is m long
nory which takes In phazes of life
seemingly irrelevant to the subject of
music, but which in its ultimate sum
mary shows wonderful as well as
startling revelations between music
fnd the life of man. This subject I
shall take entirely from Ilerlrt
Spencer's "Ks:;ny on the Origin and
Function of Music." This essay, to
me, is the last word in the varying
theories of how music came to be,
and being long and the steps of mus
ical progrens given so gradually that
ilose attention will be necessary to
the succeeding article, and perhaps
a revkw will be necessary of the pre
ceding artic le before attcinptitiK the
low one.
In both man and animals are those
elements known as sensations or
emotions to which thy give expres
sion in v;'jious ways. Uccause of
these, sensations or emotions, which
are mere terms for the very common
word-feeling, there is a direct result,
namely, muscular action in both man
and animals. This Is plainly under
stood when one considers the com
mon ocenrance of the chained dog
who, seeing the approach of his mas
ter, wags his tail slightly, due to the
faint hope that he is about to be set
free; and when he is about to be
unchained makes it very difficult on
account of his jumping about and.
wriggling; and then when he is fin
ally free leaps and bounds at top
speed from the joy of freedom. The
kitten arches her back to meet the
caressing hand and the canary hops
and dances upon her perch in Joy.
In man we find that pleasure
brings smiles to his face; children
will smack their lips after an agree
able taste; people will beat time to a
pleasing tune with either head or
foot; hand chipping is indicative of
appreciation of some performance,
etc.
Now these few illustrations, of
which more could be cited, pertained
to pleasurable sensations or emo
tions which caused muscular action
of some kind in both man unci ani
mals. Mow turning to the opposite
emotions of pain or anger, we find
tiie angry lion lashing his sides with
Ms tail, the dog retracting his lips,
the horse throwing back his ears.
And while notoriously patient in pain
animals are often seen to shrink in
pain and a dull look comes 'o their
eyes in excess of pain. A sudden
twinge causes a convulsive start in
man, and if the pain increases he
clenches his fists and sets his teeth
tightly tocether. Then if the pain
persists he often rolls upon the floor
in convulsions. Then again pounding
the table is indicative of extreme
anger.
All of these illustrations and many
more not mentioned may be use-el to
show how upon the increase of the
sensation or emotion the muscular:
action increases as witness in the
case of increase of anuer in man fiu;t
starting in frowns, in compressed
lips, goes on to produce grinding of
the teeth, clinching of the fingers,
Mowf of the fist on the table, and
perhaps ends in a violent attack on
the .offending person.. "From the
pursing of the mouth .indicative of
flight dlhpleasu-e, up to eh" fr:.,;,ie
istruiieH of the maniac, we find th:t
im-nlal irritation tends to vep; i 'f
in bodily activity." And bo all feel
ings pleasurable or painful cause'
muscular action, and the increase of
the emotion causes the increase of
the muscular action.
The connection between all this
and music is that music is euiiaally
vocal, and all vocal sounds are pro
duced by certain musclec. These
muscles are the muscles of the chest,
larynx, and vocal chords, and are sK
Into action by the pleasurable or
painful sensations just mentioned.

And. so our underlying principle Is
that pleasurable and painful emo
tions cause muscular action which In
turn causes vocal sounds. But let us
carry it a bit further. With the vary
ing Intensities of the emotions the
muscles producing sound will be af
fected In varying ways and most con
sequently produce varying sounds
which is Just what happens; and now
appears our closest relation between
music and mere vocal sounds, for
both possess the same characteristics
of loudness, ciuality or timbre, pitch,
intervals, and rate of varriation; and
these we shall take up next week.

Section 2673 of the Revised stat
utes of Nebraska was passed for the
protection of the red, fox and gray
squirrel. Under this law these ani
mals are becoming so numerous In
certain sections of the state and birds
correspondingly scarce that It- is
quite likely that an earnest effort
will be made to repeal the law at the
next session of the legislature. Many
complaints from farmers brine the
conviction that the squirrel Is a men
ace to a satisfactory maturing of
crops in that they destroy the eggs
In every bird nest found, thereby rc
st ticting the propacation of birds.
Our feathered friends do a wonder
ful work In the destruction of Injur

dictment Is true the squirrel should
go.

TOWN PLANNING IN AUSTRALIA
Antlpodeans Show Wise Interest In
Subject and Profit by Experience
cf Older Countries.
Australians tire, showing a wise In
terest In tho subject of town planning,
and housing In general. The trouble
with older countries has been thai
they have not begun to think much
about Improving hnnslnir conditions
until housing conditions have got to
be Insufferably bad. Australia, being
a young couutry, should bo able to
profit by tho unfortunate example of
other countries, snd It is apparent that
Australia Is striving to do this.
Building, an Australian publication,
devotes much space to this subject Al.
ludlng, for example, to the direction ol
tho movement in Victoria by the Town
Planning and Parks' association, these
activities are described as Intelligent,
enthusiastic and energetic "The flow
of active campaigning established," It
appears, "threateus altogether to
swamp the slum and Us wedded evils
beyond the hope of re-establlshment.
"The association, very sensibly, Is
enlisting the sympathy and support of
the masses by alert regard for their
well belnj. The essentials of the move
ment bear directly on the existence of
that section of the people whom cir
cumstances have handicapped. This the
association recognizes. Settled, evils
which primarily deny the common her
itage of sunlight are being squelchod.
Conditions of living scarcely befitting
the brute creation, but to which human
llesh and blood are subjected, are be
ing swept way us speedily as the pon
derous arm of the law can be operated.
In brief, the movement In Victoria, di
rected by the Town Planning and
Parks' association, is making good.
"The association la making a special
point of making plain the principles of
town planning to those In the positloi
of facilitating reform. For Instance,
the mayors and councilors of the mu
nicipalities and shires were recently
circularized on the new and extensive
powers conferred upon local governing
bodies, by recent amendments of the
act A portion of that circular reads:
"'It Is hoped that advantage will be
taken at once of these powers- ap
plied, perhaps, In conjunction with
building regulations to avoid the crea
tion of slum or Insanitary areas. In
this connection St. Hilda council has
recently patscd a by-law providing for
a minimum area, devoted exclusively
to open space, for each dwelling equal
to at least eight-eighteenths of that
occupied by dwelling and outhouses.'"
