Immediately below tho lower stars of the group which forms tho Southern. Cross there Is a black patch lu tho sky, dark, suck shaped and mysterious. Scleutlllcully accurate astronomers ex plain that It Is not u patch, but rather something which becomes visible by reusoii of the uiinmlily that It coutulna nothing that Is visible. The lay mind, preferring bald reality to abstract truth, is somewhat startled to learn that on object Is seen been use there Is nothing In It to see, but no ono can dispute tho fact. The coal suck In visible because It contains nothing that Is visible. In other words, It Is a vast hole In tho stellar system In which there is not even u pinch of stellar dust to shed n Dicker of luminosity. It is typically and absolutely " tho quintessence of blackness. llecuuso it 1? ho and in contradiction of nil preconceived notions tho human eye can see It without tho old of a. telescopo or other Instrument. Ilotween tho stars of tho Milky way there nro many little holes in tho stel lar system little by comparison, that Is to say but ono must hnvo telescope and patience to And them, Ono need only cross tho lino to tho southern homlspbero and locnto tbo Southern Cross In order to sco tho coal sack. Annotated Mutlo. Tho unmusical man If he takes a cu rious Interest In music very often fa vors "program" music. And the rea son Is not far to seek. If tho music says nothing to him the "program does. He thinks 'of tho "program," therefore, ns making music inoro hu man, connecting it with life, giving It u dotlnlto messngo to men. As u mat ter of fact, however, tho "program" Is nover tho essentia) thing (I mean by "program." of course, tho ofllclal liter ary explanation). Tho "program" doet not Interpret the music. It Is tho mu sic that lends something of Itself to color uud emotionalize the "program," Music Is tho universal native. It lit never tho foreigner with the literary person for Interpreter.
