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. Pretty We MR. AND MRS, CLARENCE ANDREW MCNIOIUOL Sea, forth, are pictured here following .their recent wedding in Sea, - forth.
