& v Geoffery O'Hara, recently appointed 2 by the Interior Department at Wash- ‘ington to record the travel songs and music of all American Indians, be- gan his work in New York City last week by taking his first phonographic records of the songs of the Blackfeet Indians from Glacier National Park, Montana. Secretary of the Interior Lane took advantage of the presence of the Blackfeet Indians in New York, where they came to attend the Travel and Vacation show as guests of Louis W. Hill, chairman of the Board of Directors of Great Northern Railway. He sent Mr. O’Hara on to New York, from Washington, to begin his labori- ous task with these Indians. During the stay of the red men in New York, Mr. O'Hara had them sing into phonographs and the records will be sent on to Washington to be put in the government archives, therefore preserving for all time the music of the original Americans, who are rap- idly passing to the Happy Hunting Ground. The accompanying picture shows the Indians singing to the phonographs under the direction of Mr. O’Hara. The Indians could hardly grasp the idea at first of how they could sing into a tin horn and thereby record their music. After the first song had been sung, however, the reproduction was given them in a few minutes and the magic of the operation was be- wildering to them. They thought it was the most wonderful of all the wonders they have seen, since their invasion of Greater New York. Mr. O’Hara had them sing daily to his phonograph, while the Indians were in New York and he is arranging to visit Glacier National Park early this summer and complete his records of the Blackfeet tribe there. Through the Interior Department arrangements were made to take these records privately in an out of the way loft, second floor of 61 West 37th Street. Mr. O’Hara is a tenor singer and writer of songs of some note. Several of his musical friends prominent in the musical world in New York City and are very much interested with him, in the rhythm of the Glacier Park Indians’ love songs. There is one song in particular which the Glacier Park In- dians sing, in which these musical critics find considerable merit. This is a song descriptive of the Blackfeet Indians’ love of his home environ- ment. This is a song which they al- ways have sung when they left the shadows of the Rocky Mountains and rode far over the prairies either on hunting expeditions or to fight the Sioux. Big Top, the Indians’ inter- preter, says, “His people always sing this song because when they go away from the mountains their hearts are lonely and it makes them think of “Home, Sweet Home.” Mr. Louis W. Hill, chairman of the Board of Direc- tors of the Great Northern Railway, who has done much for the Indians of the West in an educational way, both in agriculture and travel, is very much interested in Mr. O’Hara’s work and has arranged to accompany him personally on his visit to the Glacier National Park reservation in Montana during the early summer. Mr. O’Hara will take his phonograph with him and make records right in the tepees of these Indians in their own environ- ment. Carmen - 8ylva: Says If !:t ] Million She Would Build Vast : i Cathedral. 50 .What curlous ideas = gomé peopl have on the subject of philanthro; Carmen Sylva, queen ‘of Roumanis, the latest to ‘answer that amclent|™™® -| question, “What would you do ifiyou were a millionaire?” She would build a vast cathedral with chapels in ‘it for every religion, and she ‘would also build. an_art school. : As it is only a very small minority. of people who ever go to church or chapel, and.tliose that do go are usually of the’ more comfortable classes, it is to be: feared that Carmen Sylva’s million would not 80 very far to lessen human misery. Most people have asked themselves what they would do ‘if they Wwere mil- lionaires, but' the wiser among them have contented: themselves with :say- ing what they would not’ do. A-’reso lution to give nothing to any religious or charitable ‘organizations, with a very few ‘exceptions, is ‘a fairly safe one, since both religion and charity are incompatible with organization. The greatest delight of .wealth is in its opportunities for individual and beneficent contact with one’s fellow- men, for there can be little true char ity without individual contact between giver and receiver. Among the schemes for spending a million we should be disposed to place that of Carmen Sylva at the bottom of the list—and then some. BIRD FRIENDS OF GARDENER But for Their Consumption of Insects Cultivation Would.Be Practically 5 Impossible. Mr. Treadwell, of the Boston So- ciety of Natural History, reports that he gave a young robin sixty-eight angle or earth worms in one day. A young crow will eat twice its weight of cut-worms a day. Think what this means to the gardener. “Could we grow anything at all without the help of the birds?” exclaimed a gardener when told of it. In the crop of a nighthawk were found 500 mosquitoes. That bird did the duty of ten score screens. Think of the discomfort, to say nothing of the disease, he prevented! In view of these facts, one is al- most willing to accept the statement of a well'‘known French scientist, who has asserted that without birds to check the ravages of Insects human life would vanish from this planet in the space of nine years. But for the vegetation the insects would perish; but for the insects the birds would perish; and but for the birds vegeta- tion would be destroyed. Nature has, .| therefore, formed a delicate balance of power which cannot be disturbed without bringing great loss and ume happiness to the world. ' Who Admires Nature. ‘which all rivers run, but istern that finally catches in that falls, not merely upon. its own surface, but upon the surface of the .land and upon the roofs of our houses. It has been calculated that ‘each year a layer of the entire sea fourteen feet -thick is taken up into is the it all the water could be removed ‘in ‘the' same ' way, none of it being re- turned, there would, it is figured, be left a layer of pure salt 230 feet. high on the bed of the Atlantic. These fig- ures are based upon the assumption that three feet of water contain one inch: of salt, and that the -average depth ‘of-the ocean is three miles. At:a ‘depth of about:-3,600 feet the temperature is uniform, varying but little between the poles and - the equator. . The colder water 18 below. In many deep bays the water begins to freeze at the bottom before it does at the surface. X At that depth waves are not felt. The force of waves is in proportion to their height. It is said that ‘the sea strikes upon certain rocks with the force of seventeen tons for each square yard. The pressure of water increases with the depth. One mile down this pressure is reckoned at more than a ton to the square inch—in other ‘words, more than 133 times ‘the pres- sure of the atmosphere. The depth of the sea presents some interesting considerations. 1If, it is claimed by one authority, the Atlantic océuan were lowered 6,564 feet, it would be reduced to half its present width. If it were lowered a little more than tbree miles the result would be dry land all the way between Newfound- land and' Ireland. If the Mediter- ranean were lowered 660 feet, Africa would . be joined to Italy, and thrae separate seas would remain. Hotel Butter and Coffee. The butter served in hotels costs more per guest than the coffee. This is an easily proved statement, for with butter costing 50 cents or more a pound, and with 32 pats to the pound each pat of butter served costs the hotel at least a cent and a half for each pat. Coffee generally averages 30 cups to the pound, and few hotels are pay- ing today, with coffee at its highest price in 50 years, more than 30 cents and most of them not over 27 or 28 cents a pound, while some restaurants are serving coffee at still lower fig- ures. With the good profit there is in coffee surely no restaurant, be it to serve an inferior grade to its guests.—From the Steward, —_— To Robert L te:t?ee'rws Patoy jof By g Not only is the sea the reservoir the clouds.
