1924 at a level just2,04,0 feel hed.
low the 29,0U0 -foot peak and were
nev r seen again,
to one seems anxious, however,
i George e
to bring :Sir Geo g Everest him-
self into foals of gublfc attenti`on..
It was, after all, Sir George (1790-
1.866) who first fixed the great
peak on the May of India and who
fir .-cpleulated .its position and
altitude (29,141 feet). having been
born in Greenwich, .England,'
which is to the vertical longitud-
inal lines :about the earth as the
equator is to the horizontal lati
tudinal lines, Everest was fired by'
the mysteries of geographical
nieasureinent, and when he was 16
he went to India AS a cadet, He
eventually became the surveyor
general in 'India and measured
with unrivalled excellence 11; de-
greees of that fabulous jewel in
the Victorian empire.
Mount Everest was,. of course,
named after ,hien, He retired in
1843; and returned to .England
where he was knighted .in 1.861
and where he died at Paddington
five years later.
Although the 18th Century
Austrian composer Joseph Heyde
was said to have a message to de-
liver with each of his beautiful
and- famous symphonies, there is
none with more adroit meaning
than a work he .composed for
Prince Esterhazy, the Hungarian
patron of the arts, during 'the
height of his career,
Haydn, who has been in the
choir' of the, Cathedra of St,
Stephen, in Vienna at the Age of
eight, was head of the .prince's
private chapel It had been a ver
y
long
time since Haydn. or any of
his hard-working orchestra had
enjoyed a real vacation and the.
rniisieians Were beginning to eon)*
plain to the conductor. Haydn
approved the complafrit and set
-about to bring the' matter naively
to the p'rince's attexition.
He wrote, a special symphony
*for the, purpose,„, It started out
with full orchestra , on a rather
sinnlile theme " Each tune the
theme was repeated a section of.
the orchestra would drop out and
quietly, leave the stage. Haydn
flourished 'his baton successively
until the basses.liad silenced and
disappeared with a gesture
of re-
volt against too much work, Hay-
dn was finally left with only two
violins, which represented` his in-
ability to get along without the.
co-operation of the musk:lens.
The prince, .who fortunately had
a sense of humor, saw the idea in
the music at once and granted the
entire company a proper vacation.
• A few, stars dropped from the
firmament of culture last month.
Among them were Albert Spald-
ing, one of the few native Ameri-
can violinists to attain a reputa-
tion of world importance, Frank
Panella, who wrote the song. "Old
Gray Mare"; and Charles P. Wat-
son, 91, who invented the slow-
motion picture camera by develop-
ing a camera that took 1,000 ex-
posures a second compared to the
12 -exposures -a -second rate at the
time.
Spalding was the giant among
these. He was born in Chicago in
1888 of the famous sporting goods
family. At seven he asked for a
violin and at 14 he graduated from
the Bologna Conservatory. His
formal debut was in Paris in 1905,
and his American debut was in
Carnegie Hall in 1908. In World
War I the musician gave up his
concert commitments to serve as
adjutant to Major Fiorello La
Guardia, After being before the
public for 45 years, Mr. Spalding
gave his last concert in 1950. He
made his 200th Atlantic crossing
in 1939.
