THE STOR) BE$ITND THE SONG.. "Say Au Revoir Rut Not iala0i1-By" Written by 'Barry Kennedy. Assembled in a. Brooklyn cenxetery one day' in the late nineties was a mournful gathering, slowly following a "casket to its final resting • place. As they lowered it tenderly into the waiting arms of Mother Earth, one of the mourners stepped out and softly commenced singing, to the ac•• CQmpailintent of an orchestra, "Say an Revoir but Not Good -By." It was a dirge to the deceased author and composer of that 'ballad, Parry Kennedy, who had died sud- denly in the prime of life. Not only were his friends and relatives pres- ent at the obsequies, but the owners of the Adams Street Theatre in Brooklyn, Messrs, Hyde and Behman, together with their employes, includ- ing the musicians brought to render homage to the memory of Harry Ken- nedy, The singer at his grave was Helene Mora, conceded to be one of the greatest female baritones of her generation. It was Kennedy's bal- lad that earned' for her a reputation envied by all singers of the time, and she doubtless felt indebted to, the late bard. No wonder she sang his song as it had never been sung. bo ore! At thee• Adams Street Theatre He- lene Mora was the first noted singer to render publicly "Say au Revoir But Not Good -By," and although she did much to popularize the song, the female baritone was not really the first to sing it. None other than the author and composer himself gave the song its first rendition. He had been a ventriloquist; in fact, one of the most noted in his day, and :eve: wrote a. book relating to this.' veiled art. Through the medium of his "dummies" he introduced to the pub - tie all of his compositions. As a ven- triloquist he is forgotten, hut as a song writer he lives, Kennedy's method in composing was to sit at the harmonium and cre- ate tunes. When he struck one. that was pleasing he would hum it. to fel- low performers for approval. If he received their encouragement his lyric would follow. In this way "Say au Revoir But 'Not Good -By" was written. A, sentimental fellow, most of his lyrics were heart songs. It was while appearing on the same bill that Helene Mora,'awaiting her. turn before the footlights, caught the strains of Kennedy's latest song. Thefollowing ow ng week she created a sensation when she opened with it at' the Brooklyn theatre. So popular did it become that hardly a ballad singer thereafter 'omitted" it. Helene•Mora and Messrs• Hyde and Rehman, like Kennedy, have passed on,butau .o u "SayRevoir But Not Good - By'? still still lies in the hearts of the world. L&NGUAGE OF INSECTS. Wings Vibrate;' Four Hundred and Forty. Time a Second. • Insects, like birds and animals, have their* calls. But the sounds they produce include the rubbing together of their :limbs or wing cov- ers and the vibration of their" wings, so they cannot always be spoken.or as voices. Flies `and bees undoubt- edly mean something when they hum louder and louder., the' famous naturalist, has " calculated that to produce the sound of F by vibrating its wings a fly vibrates 362 times a second, and the bee to create A vibrates 440 times a scene? ' A tire. bee hums on E sharp. This change is, perhaps involuntary, but undoubtedly at the command of the Vail, , and is similar to the voice. When seeking honey a been, hums to F sharp, Landoise noticed three different tones:eulitted by insects- a low one during flight, a' higher one .when the wings are held so that they cannot vibrate, and a higher one yet. when the insect fs held So that none 3f its limbs can be moved. No music is asfamiliar as that pro- duced by the. Locust, grasshoppers, and crickets, and, although they are not produced by the. mouth, they an- swer as calls, and are undoubtedly a language to a certain extent;- in- deed, their n-deed„their calls have been reduced to written music. The music of grasshoppers is pro- duced in four different ways, accord- ing to Scudder. First by rubbing the base of one. wing upon the other, using for that purpose veins run- ning through the middle portion of the wing; second, by a similar meth'' od, by using the veins of the inner Hart of the wing; third, by cribbing the inner' surface of the hind legs against the outer surface of the, wing covers; and fourth, by rubbing to- gether the upper surface of the front edge of the wings and the under sur- face of the hind legs.. Long Legs Mean Big Brains. An American psychologist, Dr. Henry 1E. Garrett, asserts that the best brain worker is the man with Ione; arms and legs and a small body. Men with short arms and legs and big bodies, he declares, are more suit- ed for some manual trade, "Or at least a line of work requiring steadiness and aceiu'acy rather than quickness of mind. This theory was recently tested by Dr. Garrett and Dr. Sante Naccarati, A New York specialist in nyvoue and trental diseases, on 300 etu'deuts at Columbia: 'University, The results tended to show that, there is a very definite relationship between bodily structure and intelligence. Dr. Garrett states that of the men examined, '76 per cent. of the small - bodies, long-legged nett, 40Xper cent. of the normal Alen, and 15 per cent. of the large. ;bodied, short legged then showed high intelligence, Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller, Geh, ?ereh ng, Booth Tai'lcington, and David Wark Griffith, all out- standing for their brains in their par- tleular fields, are long-legged men With short bodies, George Washing- ton, Abraham Linoln, and President Wilson were of the same typo, 'i'�'alltin .St ek Collector. g i 1 bloc.
