Since Itegondi, a celebrated foreign performer on the Engiish concertina, made his name renowned throughout Europe, no aritist has been before the public who has been able to demonstrate all the charm and po\v<-r there is in that instrument. Xow, however, ;m English lady, Miss Haw'kes, who lias been studying the English concertina for some six or seven year.-', and has acquired a thorough masteiy of it intends to appear as a professional player. One who has heard her wrote, "Says plays an instrument nobody plavs, and plays it divinely. It sounds absurd to say this of such a thing as tlie English concertina, but if you want to hear something quite beautiful and marvellous go and hear her." As giving some idea of the qualities of the English concertina, Miss Hawkas declared that those who heard it played without seeing the player imagined that they were listening to a violin, or a 'cello, and sometimes even an organ when the deeper notes were called into play. One interesting difference between the two instruments is that, on the German concertina a different note is produced on the same key according as the instrument is expanded or contracted, whereas on the English article the same note is Tiloved,- so that it' can be piolonged as" desired. .She cannot, account for the decline in its popularity, but one reason undoubtedly is the cost. Miss Hawlees's own instrument cost £2O. and an ordinary »uee is £5, whereas the German article can be bought for a few slnlbngs. Sincere have to make their name; and often°it in a made one. But the poets —one imagine.'—have been fortunate m their own nurn.s, and it is quit- wonderful how many of our p>K.tx have had the ri»ht nam- £<> b:-g'in with. Milton. Tennvson. jlc.-.setti. Shelley. Byron—the list is endless and the only reason for Hogg s lack of hnnioitalily ir; his name. Which, one mav hUggest. was Baton's reason for taking 'the nth;-r nam? when lie wrote sonnets. Sea power is a. mo.--t costly necessity. It'takts £2.000.000 to pay tor the erui-:e of the United States fleet iiom the Atlantic to the l'acilic coast. This "single item "ivtii us some i<l-a of the amour.r expended in coal, food and cer.eral maintenance for a \\-orhi-tuivt-llir.g navy like our own. A single large battleship rui:r> io at least £1.500.000 fur its consti net ion alone, and ill u-u years it is out of date.
