Uncle Sam to Record Indian Music for Nations Ear
The United States plans to record and preserve North American Indian music using phonograph recordings. Miss Frances Denamore, an official with the Smithsonian, has already collected hundreds of songs from Chippewas and other tribes, with the project aiming to study, transcribe, and archive the music for future generations. The work highlights the complexity of Indian musical forms tied to ceremonies, clan ownership, and gender roles, and envisions a distinctive American musical school built on these rich traditions.
Scales That Weigh a Thought by William Kamaay
English scientist William Kamaay has created ultra sensitive scales that weigh thoughts to about seven billionths of an ounce. The apparatus sits in a dim laboratory chamber and uses a xenon gas tube, a silk fiber pendulum, and a light beam projected onto a distant scale to detect minute shifts. A sample gas weight changes from about two hundred fifty thousandth of a milligram as the gas is released, revealing the weight of a thought at extraordinary precision.
