Mr. Herbert P. Leo, who has endured the rigours of this grim police post, tells its story in the current number of "Blackwood's Magazine."

MUSICAL PITCH.

AMERICA: "OUT OF TUNE" WITH EUROPE

America has stabilised its musi-

cal pitch, that is, it has secured the adhesion of instrument-makers and conductors, for at least tan years to come to a standard of A440 double vibrations at 68 deg. Fahr

This is a statement made by Mr. C. M. Tremaine, Director of the National Bureau for the Advance ment of Music, and communicated

In this land there is no escape, no way of communicating with the outside world, except by terrible sled journeys' which would take two years to make. Ten months out of the 12 there is nothing to do but gaze at ice from the win- dows of the shack.

For three long months and more the cop oil-lamps burned in the little shack, banked in six feet... thick with snow to preserve the.. warmth within. One of us at noon each day took a storm-lan- tern to read the thermometer hung. on the wall outside, to gather data for meterorologista.

But when summer comes hours mean nothing on Ellesmere. "For nearly four montha," writes Mr. Lee, we knew no such thing as day, and often as not an ex- pedition would leave the post, in the warm light of midnight as, in the blinding brilliant sunshine of mid-day."

There was, of course, no police. work in the accepted scene to do.. to the English "Music Trades We merely understood that the Review" (May issue).
