KELS rJL II ilnl ttoll nlilnno-n "tI presents a now thc- '.ly "' - i'"- i ' ing oascu upon principles of ana tomy, physiology acoustics and psy chology, and In an exhaustive article which ha una pub lished on tho sub ject uudcrtaKca to show how piano lilaylng may bo reduced to a scientific lmslB. Ho advises the study ot an atomy, that tho teacher may learn to -develop a good "piano hand," of physi ology that wo may learn the fundamen tal causes which operate In velocity plnying. Wo learn, he says, to avoid and successfully treat weeping sinews and musician's camp. By tho under standing and application of tho laws governing musclo innervation wo learn to control nnd husband the potent force termed nervous energy. Misdirected iiervo energy makes Blckly piano play ors and unhealthy music is tho result, Extracts from his article follow: Bettor modes of devoloplng tho pow r ot memorizing and of preserving untouched the pupil's individuality are the result of psychical study. That wo should study acoustics "goes with out saying," as wo cannot know too much of sound Pedal management, tonal coloring and tho science of har mony aro all better understood through Hi knowledge of tho properties ot ucoustics. A knowledge of tho an atomy of the hand, wrist, foro and up per arm gives tho student greater fa cility In individual muscular control. In consequence ot the control thus gained, the whole arm becomes more expressive. A crlsply-leggicro effect can best bo produced by energizing tho muscles of the upper arm and thoso of the fingers, while relaxing the wrist muscles. This is a very important point, and is simply tho application of the mechanical principle of tho resist ance being equal to the force of the blow. A development of the pronator mus cles in the forearm renders possible n good position of tho hand for playing octaves, arpeggios, scales, chords and trills with ho fourth and fifth fingers. Rolling octave playing Is dependent upon a separated control of tho su- no. L MOVUMI2NT IN STACCATO OCTAVE PLAYING plnator and pronator nv:scles from thoso of tho fingers. Fpeed requires the shortening of tho latent period of jtho muscle, and this can be accom plished only by taking up the slack of tho tendons. Tho prlnclpnl muscle concerned In producing a crisply stac cato effect with finger action is tho ex tensor, as upon this muscle depends tho brevity of tone. By elevating the wrist, curving tho second finger and depressing it at the knucklo-Jolnt, tho finger Is In tho beet possible position for producing tho effect. Tho physiology ot velocity playing Is a subject of great Interest to tho prac tical piano teacher. In somo persons rapidity of movement Is natural, the muscular tlsouo is very irritable and tixercises ot speed do not demand great effort. In othcra tho muscles, although enorgctic, obey tho orders of the will with considerable slowness. A great expondlturo o! norvous energy Is neces sary to obtain a rapid movement. Il lustrations of those differences may be noticed In tho gymnasium, in fencing, boxing, rowing, walking nnd In piano playing. Pfluger Is authority for tho statement that when a ncrvo Is stim ulated by action of tho will or other wise, Uio stimulus received by tho ncrvo Increases In Intensity as It reachco tho muscle. Tho thrco attributes ot tone are force, pHch and quality. Force is dependent upon tho amplitude of tho vibrations, ntch 1b dependont upon the vibration al number tho greater tho number tho higher tho pitch. From these facts we deduct principles of study which are practicable to an Intelligent Btudent of piano playing. Tho overtones of tones sounded In tho upper registers are of such great vibrational number that the car falls to establish a definite pitch for them. Then, again, tho waves if such tones aro so Bhort that they van ish almost immediately after sounding; thorefore tho pedal, which permits the tono to bo ro-enforced, may be used moro freely In tho upper register than in tiio middlo or lower. Ono tono sus tained by tho podal In tho middlo Is equal In Intensity to about four In tho upper register. It is possible by a dell cato manipulation of the pedal to oblit erate tho discordant harmonica in the upper, without losing An organ point In tho lower register, which somotlmes of necessity must be sustained by the pedal. A point which Ib of equal Importance wJtfe, tho manner of striking Is that of thfi manqor ot leaving thj) KQJ'P. for upgn vth3 hinges tn,e cnuro system ot legaTofcgctavp playingvwFde skips, such asjaiibass note andJt&chord,' and broad, 4, -1 I nun vi'SSm lltsJHRVWl V -"O WA "K S9 Jlr intervals either In tho accompaniment or melody, may bo mado to Bound le gato without tho use ot tho pedal, by ' releasing tho finger from tho koy slow ly, thus damping tho tone gradually. Many beautiful effects may bo produced Ly LUIa use of tho pedal. All movements of tho body aro either natural, habitual or hereditary. In cor tnln states ot consciousness wo bring Into play certain muscles Just as natu rally as wator seeks Its lowest level. It Is for this reason that a pupil is some times taught to play a p.issago with widely differing movements of tho hand and arm by different teachers. Thus It not Infrequently happens that an Instructor scatters broadcast over tho land, through his pupils, peculiar mannerisms which ho Inherited from his ancestors. It may readily bo scon that tills is radically wrong, and that such would not be tho caso woro all teaching based on philosophic princi ples. In playing tho piano habits will nec essarily bo formed, nnd movements based on tho natural laws of expression of tho body aro more easily acquired, and when acquired enable us to ex press musical thoughts moro clearly and moro forcibly than habits formed FIG. 2. MOVEMENT IN STACCATO OCTAVE PLAYING. at haphazard. Tcchnlc, as applied to piano playing, Is tho power to express musical thoughts. This involves not only tho ability to play tho proper notes with correct fingers, but requires such control ot tho muscles and nerves that all gradations of tonal coloring may bo expressed. Piano playing has been compared to an electric current tho musical thought emanates from tho brain; passes through tho nerves which move tho muscles to be used, tho finger strikes tho key, tho hammer strikes a wire, which in Its turn produces a tono, tho oar conveys tho tono back to tho brain, thus completing tho circuit Weak or sluggish muscle3, therefore, not readily yielding themselves to tho nervous stimulus flowing from tho brain, will break tho circuit, and tlio musical phraso will fall short of tho musical conception. In piano playing tho purely mental lntollectual phraso finds Its expression In tho circumscribed movements of tho fingers and hand, using tho knucklea or wrist as tho center of motion. Pas sages from Bach's "Fugues and Inven tions" admirably illustrate this state ment An emotional phraso demands moro freedom of movement, which tho firmness of tho elbow the emotional center and length of the forearm read ily supply. Clliaaxes and passionate outbursts of musical feeling demand tho added strength and wider BWlng through space of tho entire arm from tho vital center of the shoulder. It Is not always necessary that such broad gestures from tho shoulder as aro used in oratory should bo used In piano playing, as the energy can be brought from tho shoulder, tho vital center, al so from tho mental or emotional cen ters or from various combinations of tho vital, mental or emotional cutters without "tearing passion to tatters." This knowledgo of tho psychological divisions of the arm gives clear and ox act reasons for the ubo of tho upper, forearm, wrist and fingers In piano playing, a subject which has herctoforo been misty, and formulates thoroughly tho principles of all varieties ot touch. I consider tho wrist the distributing center of the energy of tho upper and , forearm. It Is Impossible for the nerv ous stimulus from tho brain to bo prop erly conducted to tho finger tips when tho many tendons that pass through tho wrist are tense. Almost every pupil beginning tho study of tho piano has somo unconscious mannerism or trick peculiar to himself of using tho agents of expression. Before eradicating thoso bad habits and building up thoso which are correct, a certain condition of pas sivity or relaxation must bo achieved, Just as tho potters' clay must be ren dered soft and plastic before It can bo modeled Into the desired forms. I find for this purpose tho Delsartcan exep FIG. S. MOVEMHNT IN STACCATO OCTAVIJ FLAYING. cises known ns relaxing or devitalizing of inestimable valuo to tho beginner and advanced student alike. We can utter so many words with ono breath, and when that Is exhausted wo must draw upon the reservoir the air for another supply. Wo can play a rapid succession of notes with a given supply of nerve energy, and when that Is exhausted we must draw upon tho reservoir tho brain for an other supply. This necessity of our physical nature le the basis of rhythm, and if tho regularly recurring inclina tion to build up tho wasto Is unheeded, health and strength will bo Impaired.

"In congress, at tho behest of the owners of gold, silver was secretly and stealthily demonetized. This tho la borer did not sco, nor tho president who signed the bill; and within tho last few months statesmen, who wero sena tors and congressmen In 1873, when tho demonetization ot silver was accom plished, havo admitted voting for tho bill without knowing that it contained It Has Boon Going on the demonetization clause. One states man has not denied a knowledge of the act of treachery to tho people John Sherman and he la to-day tho subject of adverse criticism by nearly every living man who sat with him In the senate when that bill was adopted without question, on his word that It contained nothing that interfered "with tho coinage of tho silver dollar. "Gold is tho legal standard to-day be cause tho bankers, brokers and gold owners ot tho world Influenced con gress to make It so. Tho people never demanded It, never uttered a sentiment that could bo construed in favor of monometallism, never petitioned con gress to pass such a law. It was done when a bill with sixty-seven sections, as long as the moral law, was under discussion, and was passed through congress without question, because that body had faith in tho honor of a committee of three, of which Mr. Sher man wa3 chairman. "THE TERM 'FREE AND UNLIM ITED COINAGE OF SILVER' IS MISUNDERSTOOD.

DO YOU WISH TO TAKE THE CHANCE OF ITS BEING YOU? Yours truly, J. V. IVES. President Ives raises the issue squarely between tho railroads and tho farmers. Tho railroad corporations through their stock Jobbing departments, havo contracted largo debts and mado thoso debts payable In gold. Railroad charges being largely fixed by law, tho managers of these corpora tions aro supporting tho scarce money policy, well knowing that scarce money means dear money, and that dear money means cheap prices for farm products. President Ives opposes free sllver coinago becauso he does not want the prlco of flour and meats Increased. Those who advocate the election of Mr. Bryan say that, while free coinago will ralso the price ot flour and meat. It will also advance tho price of overy other product of labor and benefit overy laborer In tho land. Freo silver coinago will stimulate business ot all kinds, Including the -allroad business, and more business will necessitate the employment of moro men, and the Increased domand for men will bring with It an Incroasa n wages.

So, having copied the flnnnctnl policy of England, is it Btrnngo that wo must suffer tho same penalities? In 18G5 tho pcoplo of tha United States emerged from tho great est war of modern times.

Wo folt as did tho British pcoplo after their groat victory nt Watorloo, and tho banishment of Napoleon. Tho British system of contraction, inaugu rated here In 18GG, began to tell on tho clearing houso transactions in 1870. In 1873, tho snmo policy struck down sil ver.

THE CHIMNEYS GREW COLD. THE FIRES IN FURNACES WENT OUT, THE POOR FAMILIES WERE TURN ED ADRIFT, AND THE HIGHWAYS OF THE UNITED STATES WERE CROWDED WITH TRAMPS.

"But about 1851, when tho gold mines of California and Australia produced gold In largo quantities, Belgium de monetized gold and bocamo bIIvci monometallic. "About 1865, however, business be enmo so doprcsscd In Belgium that tho pooplo forced tho minister, M, Frore Oobnn, to retire, and obliged tho gov crnment to becomo again bimetallic.
