Ida C. Stockwell, South Side Entrance BrandeU Theater Bldg. Make no mistake in location. By' ELLA WHEELER WJLCOX. The unity of all life, the oneness of all things, and the wonder and glory of the Creator, have been newly brought to my mind, over here In England. Dr. Haydn, the leader of violinists in St. James or chestra, is lecturing on "Vocal - Flora, and Fauna." That phrase may mean nothing as you read it. But learn its true meaning. Dr. Haydn illustrates his lecture by lantern slide pictures, showing floral shapes of notes sung through a funnel upon gelatine and other substances. The note, E Flat, sung by a highly trained voice, produces the perfect shape of a daisy. This form Is not accidental; for innumerable tests will Invariably pro duce the same shape, when sung by dif ferent voices of equal culture. The un- vultlvated voice will produce a sem blance cf the flower. Ferns, trees and fruit forms are pro duced by other notes, and a perfect or ange was exhibited as the result of the high note struck by a fine tenor at the end of an arpeggio passage. Margaret Watts Hughes is the dis coverer of this marvellous new scientific fact. The discoverer describes the cylin der used as the eldophone, and tells how she came to Invent it, as follows: "Its construction may be said to have originated from the following circumstan ces. In the year 1885 I had been devoting attention to the study of the six proper ties of sound in relation to the voice, and, being impressed with the important part played by Intensity in the formation of vocal sounds, especially in relation to quality and the creation of over-tones, I became desirous to find some means by which I could test the different In tensities of the tones of the human voice. My first task was to search for an in strument and I made dilllgent inquiry as to what had already been accomplished in this direction. So far as I was able to ascertain no . such instrument had been produced, and I felt very much disappointed. Mechanism of Edlphone. "Not willing to give up my project 1 endeavored to construct an apparatus of my own, which I hoped eventually might answer my purpose. This apparatus con sisted of a tube, a receiver and a mem brane, which was stretched over the top of the receiver. .: The membranes were made-of various kinds of material paper, parchment, fine silk, gold beaters' skin, tin and India rubber. My aim at this time was to test the force of the differ ent notes sung into the tubes by the weight of various substances placed on the membranes. "I had been working on this path until May 6, 1885, when on one occasion as 1 sang I noticed that the seeds which 1 had placed on the India rubber mem brane, on becoming quiescent, instead of scattering promiscuously in all directions and falling over the edges of the receiver on to the table, as was customary when a rather loud noise was sung, resolved themselves Into a perfect geometrical figure. Surprised al the unexpected ap pearance, and wondering if it were the result of mere accident, I cleared the dlaphram of its contents and scattered fresh seeds on its surface. Upon sing ing the same note as before, the seeds gave the same figure. "This figure, therefore, which I never searched for, became the progenitor of all that followed in the department ot the dry powders, and the apparatus which was intended to demonstrate the capaci ties of only one of the properties of sound, has proved since to be the in strument that was needed to effable the singer to make visible the effects of the vibrations and to show the endless pos Blbillties of the human voice n this new path of the world of sound. . "The eldophone disc can be set in mo tlon so as to form some figures in sand and other substances by means of the flute, cornet, organ or any musical in strument giving sounds sufficiently pow erful to cause the disc to vibrate regu larly. But complete success can be insured only when the movements in the disc are directed by the voice of a skilled vocalist "Any flexible disc, whatever Its shape or,, size, under the influence of regular vibrations, may be made to divide and subdivide so as to give a series of dif ferent figures." Secures Permanent Films. Mrs. Hughes has gone , forward with her experiments" and now is able to se cure permanent films which are used in lantern slides. The Eidophone society has been formed with many branches, and Dr. Haydn is lecturing and explain ing this wonderful discovery to the musi cal world. There is every reason to suppose that the eidophone will become as important in musical circles as the phonograph and dictograph are. in business centers. The singer who Is able to see Just how a perfect tone looks will be encouraged to work for protection and will not be deceived by her ear or the words of flat terers that she has attained such perfec tion until she sees her tone in voice fig ures. Speaking of the preparing of the gela tine plate with a little paint or color paste for the singing of the tone, E flat, Mrs. Hughes says: "If we now place on the disc a still larger quantity of this color paste, e. g., a mass the size of a small bean exactly upon a center of vibration, as before, and sing a suitable voice, we first tee the heap gather itself closely together. After a short time it will be seen slightly4 agitated around its edges, and, by con tinuing to sing, suddenly, in obedience to a careful crescendo, beautifully shaped petals dart out with perfect regularity and symmetry, in a floral form which when fully developed, closely resembles a daisy. "But here again we find stages of de velopment It Is Indeed very seldom that a perfectly shaped daisy is obtained with the first crescendo. In order, therefore, to secure the full development of a figure of the daisy class, the note should be repeated diminuendo, when the petals will retreat into a central heap and there remain so long as the note sustained is equal in power. Immediately, however, that a crescendo is again executed, the petals will dart out anew, more perfect In appearance than at first. Still con tinuing the alternate diminuendo and crescendo necessary to the involving and revolving movements which are to be observed In the central heap. In course of time we find the figure reaches its perfection." Surely here lies a new and beautiful f'eld of research for our musical and ar tistic people. Let us form eidophone so cieties and style voice figure. for a three weeks' trip. Dr. and Mrs. A. H. Hippie left today for the doctor's old home in Hamilton, Ont. They will be absent until fall.

Miss Conk lin, the head splash, expects to have some expert swimmers out of the bunch be fore the summer is over. Miss Conklin believes that there is nothing quite so good for girls and women as swimming, because It exer cises every muscle of their bodies and gives them a good time meanwhile. She says that women business women espe ciallybecome so Intent on their work that they forget their health until ttiey go to smash. She thinks that If every woman would pursue some form of physical exercse regularly the business of rest cures, sanitariums and hospitals would decrease at a rapid rate.

JANITORS AT SCHOOLS MUST OBEY WATER RULES Duncan Finlayson, superintendent of school buildings, has notified all janitors by circular letter that they must observe the sprinkling regulations ot the Vater Board. "I see the Watr board asserts I was notified that a high school Janitor was violating the rules," said Mr. Finlayson. "The fact is I was not notified, and I called up the water commissioner's office and told him so. He salJ my office was notified. That is poor badness. Thoy ought to have sent a written notice right away." Superintendent Finlayson says he told all Janitors when the Water board as sumed charge of the plan: that tbeir rulings would have to be obeyed. He says he was ignorant of the violation, but has ordered Janitors to rtrlctly ob serve the regulations r be answerable to him.
