Harvard Professor Conducts Some Interesting

Great In Vaudeville.
Last year, while working one evening in hi»
study, Dr. Charles A. Coburn, of the psychological
laboratory at Harvard University, heard a series
of sounds which seemed to come from above the
ceiling. At the time they were thought to re-
semble the soft chirp of a bird.
Shortly afterward some wild mice were needed
for breeding experiments and, by means of a trip,
two mice, a male and a female, were captured in
the room.
These animals, while being taken to the labora-
tory, produced sounds like those previously heard
in the room and they continued to do so at inter-
vals after being placed in a laboratory cage.
A few days after their capture the male escaped.
The remaining "singing" individual was, so far as
could be ascertained, a common house mouse. She
was somewhat larger than the ordinary wild fe-
male, but no o*ther external peculiarities were
noted. She was extremely active and savage and
her mate always bore the marks of her teeth.

No definite time for "singing" was noted, except
three or four days before and for six or seven
days after the birth of a litter. It was observed,
also, that the individual "sang" sometimes when
frightened.
The sound is best described as a rapid whole-
toned trill involving the tones c and d.
The quality of the tone resembled somewhat that
of a fife or flute, but each tone ended with a slight
throaty click. The tones were uttered at the rate
of four or five per second in groups of varying
size. Sometimes a group occupied one second,
sometimes as long as ten seconds. As a rule, the
tones of a group were not clear and distinct, but,
instead, were uttered so rapidly as to seem con-
nected. The throaty click was more noticeable in
the case of the last tone of a group.

APPRAISING AMERICAN MUSIC.
British Writer in the London "Telegraph"
Makes Some Interesting Comments Upon
Prominent American Composers and Their
Work in Interesting Vein.
It has long been the fashion among those who
are interested in creative musical art to regard
America as comparatively, if not completely,
sterile. Her most famous son, Edward MacDow-
ell, was by descent a Scotsman, who studied prin-
cipally in Europe; and not even his most eloquent
admirers dare say that he laid the foundation of
an American school. He was a sweet singer, with
a slightly personal note of his own; but there
was nothing in him of the pioneer or the revo-
lutionary, and his technique was essentially con-
ventional. His much-praised "Keltic" sonata ex-
presses nearly every idiom in Europe but a
"Keltic" idiom, and although there are fine pass-
ages in it, one cannot discuss it in the same
breath with epoch-marking music. Then there
are Horatio Parker and G. W. Chadwick, sound
musicians both, but of no outstanding character
as creative artists, and there are a host of others
of lesser gifts.
It is true that the most important contribution
America has made to the world of music is rag-
time, a style in which there are enormous possi-
bilities, but in the more serious art-song the in-
fluence to-day is undoubtedly French. Whether
the chargv of sterility is going to be refuted it
is a little early to say, but in some songs that
'have lately been published in that country there
are unmistakable signs of a certain creative vital-
ity. Like every country that takes her music
solemnly, America has, of course, her pot-boilers,
her pretty waltzes, her songs for children, her
middle-class anthems and sentimental church
music. These are industries. Outside them are
two or three composers who regard their art as
an exacting mistress worthy of the most punctilious
devotion.

the ban at the University of Chicago. They no
longer will have places on the dance program.
They have been banished because the words are
suggestive.
There are other songs, too, that soon will be
placed under the ban. The young women of the
Midway institution have arisen and decided that
suggestive songs have no place at any of their
gatherings.
So at future dances the young
women and their partners will dance the tango,
waltz and two step to music that is "clean" and
endorsed.
Tango? Yes, it has been officially decided at
the university that the tango is a perfectly proper
xiance for students. Miss Marion* Talbot, dean
of women,-says the tango can be danced gracefully
and without suggestion of offense.
