What It does is to remove from the air the quality which holds people together and then they go off of their own accord. The only reason, he says, that this idea never occurred to Kdlaon or Ben jamin Franklin or Newton is that all of them were raised In urban and clas sic surroundings, while he himself ha ) Some Queer Visions. A striking featlire of this one is the manger In which the Infant Christ lay, and his work bench at which he la bored. At one side is a patent, lever to move a board which la being planed.

The re sult Is that his playing has no individ uality, no thrill. Krelsler. like Ysaye, has no peer among men of his age. Hia technic and interpretation are the work of a mas ter. It seems strange, but until this year he has never been popular with the Rerlln public. This season he re ceived an ovation. Whether it was that ("liopln numbers. was canceled Sauer is very artistic.

He showed us a most appreciative letter he had received from Mrs. Muc Howell. expressing her sincere grati tude for the assistance rendered the MacPowell fund. She also sent bim the original manuscript of "To a Will Rose." Mr. Hartmann has many valu able letters from colleague" He has concert Ized with Pattl. Grelg, Godard. His Student Days. In his student days he lived In the same house with Krelsler. Godowsky and Pe Pachmann. Naschez has Just completed a concerto which Hartmann is to play On his American tour. Critics pronounce it the best concerto produced for violin for years. Hartmann is a successful teacher. He believes one must develop the "thinn ing, man ant with all that is good and beautl ful in art, literature, science and mu sic, before one can absorb the best In any special line. He Insists on his pupils reading all they can and forces well-selected booXs into their hands. He studies and analyzes their eccen tricities and personal shortcomings, teaching each as an individual. The result Is that, pupils have come to him from all the masters of Germany, Ysaye, Sevcek, Joachim. Halle and others as well recognized, included. Taken all In all there is no more thorough. musician. and none with greater promise for immortality than this man now on the threshold of life. For years he has devoted his energy to gleaning knowledge with what con centration of purpose one may Judge by the results obtained. When he Je- votes this same energy and rorce to harmonic."

Mr. Black has saH that the eclipse of friendship through death Is not nearly so sad as the many ways in which friendship may be wrecked. There sre worse losses than the losses of death and to bury a friendship is a keener grief than to bury a friend, the latter softens the heart and stimulates life: while the former hardens and em bitters.
