Low. famous English scientist and sound expert, told a United Press correspondent during an ecclusive interview on the effects of noises upon the general health and well-being of the human being- | “Music”, he declared, “is a series of sounds, the frequence of which is altered by rhythm. j “Just as the rhythm of the ocean tides is regulated by the pioon, s 0 it is quite conceivable that the oceantides originally influenced the rythm cf man’s heart and his digestive organs. Hence, there is a natural Inclination on the part of most human be’ngs to love rhythmic sounds. “Unfortunately, modern rhythmic sounds are, occassionally at least, virtually on the border of the line which we like to draw between what we cal! music and what we name noise. Although music too is noise, it is pleasant noise and, therefore, harmless to human health. But there I are unpleasant noises, and they are I harmful to our health. “Unpleasant noises frequently cause sea-sickness, as evidenced by the fact that some people are “seas’ck” in trains or subways. I believe that if all the noises with which we are surrounded in this generation of scientific progress, do not injure our health to an alarmj ing degree, it is because of ,the con- | tinned degeneration of the human race and that we are gradually becoming deafer. “Rut this, in my opinion, is very fortunate. Think how frightful it 1 would be if, for instance, men, like 1 birds, had a sense of hearing so ‘ acute, that they could actually hear • worms come out of their holes in 1 the ground.!" , jr
