WOOD AND METAL AND MUSIC.
A Theory Born of the Patter of th#
Raindrops on the Roof.
Since Mittelburger. the German mu
sician. while sleeping under a roof of
cedar shingles in Philadelphia, In 1754,
was entranced with the resonance pro
duced by raindrops falling on the shin
gles. until the present time, wood has
held an Indisputable place In the man
ufacture of musical Instruments. Mit
telburger's Srst work under his theory
that wood was more musical than
metal was when he built a pipe organ
—the first In America—wltt the pipes
of southern white cedar, the same
wood which had charmed bis ear while
he listened to the rain on the roof.
The superlative quality of spruce as
material for sounding boards is due to
the long, straight, regular fibers of
which the wood is composed. The mi
croscope reveals what the unaided eye
cannot see. The minute cells forming
the wood are extremely long—full one
hundred times as long as their diam
eter measurement—and each cell or
fiber is stretched like a taut string.
Although these cells, all lying length
wise of the wood, are packed and
stretched closely, side by side, there
is room for vibration when they are
strucKT
All woods possess this quality or
resonance, but in vastly different de
grees. Some are dull and uearlydead,
others emit tones quick and sharp,
and still others give out sounds that
continue a long time and gradually die
away us if vanishing in the distance.
Spruce Is of the latter, kiud.
Wood posses-ses resonance, metal has
ring. That may not wholly conform
to dictionary definitions, but it classi
fies the two materials pretty accurate
ly. The singing of a tightly stretched
telepboue wire across an open field In
the autumn wind Is a most pleasing
melody to one who has an ear for the
delicacy of the simpler sounds. But
bow much softer and melodious that
siuging wire becomes if the ear Is
pressed agaiust the telephone pole so
that the vibrations come through the
wood to reach the car, instead of di
rectly from the wire.—Hardwood Rec
ord.
LUCK IN A BLUNDER.
A Story of Frederick the Great arid a
Frightened Ensign.
During the Inst evening of ray stay
:it Fried richsruhe Bismarck was at Ills
best lie was In excellent spirits.
Alter dinner we lit pipes, and well fill
ed tankards of beer were bandy. The
prince seated himself In his long arm
chair, put his feet upon a leg rest, and
evidently he was settled down for a
good talk.
He asked roe what I should like him
to relate. 1 said. "Pray, sir, tell me
any story that conies into your head."
Puffing vigorously at his pipe, the fol
lowing story was slowly developed:
"My grandfather served for three
years under Frederick the Great and
told uie this anecdote: An ensign made
a blunder during the maneuvers of
troops at a review. The king, as was
his wont when annoyed, fell Into a vio
lent rage and pursued the terrified en
Rlirn. stick In hand. The young soldier
ran for very life aiid Jumped a aitcn,
leaving tbe Mng upon, the other side
shaking his stick at him In a fury.
"Shortly after the escape of the en
sign the colonel of the regiment came
up to the king and said, 'Your majesty,
the young man committed a blunder
doubtless. I have Just received his rea
Ignation from your mnjesty's service,'
placing the document Into the king's
hands. 'I am sorry for it, for he was a
good officer, but he can take no other
step under the circumstances.'
"The king answered, 'Send him to
me.' The ensign was sent for and
came, trembling, lest this time the
stripes should In reality fall upon his
shoulders or, still worse, he might be
sent to prison. Without any preface
the king replied, 'Here Is your captain
cy, sir, which 1 endeavored to give you
this morning, but you ran away so
swiftly that my old legs could not
catch you up.' "—Sir W. B. Richmond
In North American Review.
Origin of Gibraltar.
The "tar"' In Gibraltar Is a contrac
tion of Tarlc or Tarif. the name of a
famous pirate of medieval times. The
whole word may be translated as
i "mountain or cliff of Tarlc." This
same root "tar" occurs In the word
"tariff." Tarlc after a time cama t«
levy a tax or tariff on passing vessel*
instead of robbing them outright la
this way our word "tariff" bad Its ori
gin. It Is interesting to note also that
this robber was further honored by
having the town of Tariffa, near Gib
raltar, named for him.—Detroit Jour
nal.
Surnames In England.
History shows that surnames did
not come into general and hereditary
use in England until after the Norman
conquest, when the upper classes were
ftrst known by the names of their
lands. The lower orders took the
names of trades, birds, animals and
various other objects in art and na
ture. We are told that the earliest
English surname is "Ilatte."
