which is so eminent, for instance, in the
works of Bach or Beethoven. What it
needed was a Messiah, and Brahms was
one. -He used the romantic idiom, typified
in Schumann, but he supplied the span, the
sense of value and proporation which Schu-
mann’s work lacked,

“Both as a composer and as a man,
‘Brahms ‘was reticent, impersonal, orderly
and firm. He scorned the world, caring
‘neither for its honors npr its splendors, and
though he has the reputation of a recluse
and academician, it was,only because he
- surrounded himself in this caustic web. As
none of. the _romanticists have done, he
- learned the one art necessary to composi-
tion, the art of polycon or counter-point,
which is the key to all music. _BYahms was

one of the first composers to study the] -

instruments themselves, and he can truly
“be said to make the player play.

“As to the Trio itself, it.is founded on
two perfectly distinct themes,” The horn,
for® which it was written, would be, if
stretched, sixteen feet long with the enation
mouth-piece in the orchestra. J

_After the sketch by Mr, Surette, the mu-
sicians came in: Piano, Mr. Alwyne, asso-
ciate professor of m SiC ; violin, Mr.
Schmidt; horn, Mr, Horner. Before play-
ing the whole Trio, they played: special
parts which illustrated points Mr. Surette
had made and which he explained again.

What Is'a Vacuum Furnace?

N an ordinary furnace’ materials burn or combine with the oxygen .

of the air. Melt zinc, cadmium, or lead in an ordinary furnace and a
scum of ‘dross’ appears, an impurity formed by the oxygen. You see
it in the lead pots that plumbers use. —

In a vacuum furnace, on the contrary, the air is pumped out so that
the heated ob‘ect cannot combine with oxygen. Therefore in the

-- vacuum furnace impurities are*not formed.

Clearly, tte chemical processes that take place in the two types are
different, and the difference is important.. Copper, for instance, if

_ impure, loses in electrical conductivity. Vacuum-furnace copper is

pure. '

>

So the vacuum furnace has oneal up a whole Sew world of chem-
ical investigation. The Research Laboratories of the General Electric .
Company have been e:plorinz this new world solely to find out the
possibilities under a new series of conditions. —

Yet there have followed’ practical results’ highly important to ~

industry. The absence of o:idation, for instance, has enabled chemists
to combine metals to form new alloys heretofore impossible. Indeed,
the vatuum furnace has stimulated the study of metallurgical proc-
esses and J:2s become indispensable to chemists responsible for
production cf metals in quantities.

And t:'s is the result of scientific research.

Discover new facts, add to the sum total of human knowledge, and

sooner or later, in: many unexpected ways, practical results will follow:
