All kinds of trusts are bobbing up
serenely nowadays. There is talk of a big
steel trust which will include all the iron
working establishments in the country.
Just whether the Davenport & Treacy Co.
and Wickham, Chapman & Co. will fall in
line is not as yet announced.

A deal involving $80,000,000 of capital,
in which the Carnegies, the Rockefellers,
the Illinois Steel Company and other com-
panies controlling the steel and iron
industry of the United States appear to be
participants, is looming up in the financial
horizon, and will mean that the country is
to have a new " trust," which will be equal
to anything it already has in that line.
The deal, it is said, will include the big
manufacturing corporations of the country.

" T h e Psychological Method of Voice
Culture" was discussed by Arnold W.
MATIONAL MUSICAL
' ^ S T R I N G COMPANY,
Meyer-Teeg, of Washington, D. C., at the
M. T. N. A. Convention. He said: " T h e
subject is one which treats of the discovery
of the psychological law in singing, which
is that music through the feelings which
it awakens influences and controls the
starting, placing of tone of voice and action
of register. Nature has instituted what
are termed specific principles of the
psychological law, in a certain sense, ap-
parently designed for voice culture. There
are five voice registers. There is embodied
in and reflected in the tone quality of each
register a phase of soul emotion, character-
istic to that register. One of the chords
of music sounded within the region of a
register to the phase of soul emotion of
which it corresponds will invariably impel
the singer to sing with that particular
register, focus the tone correctly and bring
the proper amount of air pressure from the
lungs to bear upon the vocal chords."

" Musical mokes " in the variety shows
have had instruments made out of all
sorts of things, from an oyster can to a
wash boiler, but they did "not succeed in
getting very sweet sounds from them.
Here now comes an Englishman who has-
/constructed a violin from a tin kettle, the
handle of a spade and a few old corks.
Good music is extracted from this kettle-
violin.
