THE OLDEST AND MOST SUCCESSFUL MAKERS 

 OF PL\NO-PLAYING DEVICES ANNOUNCE THE 



MELODANT 



A NEW AND EXCLUSIVE FEATURE OF THE 



ANGELUS 



In every composition there runs a vein of melody commonly called 

 the "air," frequently lying wholly in the treble, sometimes inter- 

 woven with the accompaniment or wholly covered by ornamentation. 



The function of the MELODANT is to automatically 

 pick out and accent the melody notes, even when 

 such note or notes appear in the midst of a full 

 chord, giving to each its proper value a? previously 

 determined in an authentic ii/'teipret&tioii. , 



This most desirable and long.-gought-foi: ^ifect.is obtained in the 

 MELODANT ANGELUS by the performer* ?imi:,ly.';j>iig: the pedal&. 

 in the ordinary manner. Thus with an ANGELUS equippelT with the 

 MELODANT the performer haiS - .91 Iris, command two m.etiiodi^ .t)f 

 accentuation. . 



He can accent either, automatically Ky means of the 

 MELODANT, or by his own manipulation of the 

 Melody Buttons, which have been and which still are 

 one of the most valuable features of the ANGELUS. 

 NO OTHER PIANO-PLAYER CAN OFFER SO MUCH 



The addition of the MELODANT does not impair the efficiency 

 nor detract from the value of the simple yet complete expression 

 devices also found upon the ANGELUS. These will still be the 

 means for individual interpretation which to many persons constitutes 

 the chief and unrivaled charm of our instrument. The ANGELUS 

 is absolutely the only piano-player with whose aid the best artistic 

 results can be obtained. 



The ANGELUS in cabinet form, the EMERSON = ANQELUS 

 PIANO, the KNABE= ANGELUS PIANO — all are equipped 

 with the MELODANT. 



The intriiduetion of the MELODANT is another step forward in the steady- 

 progress of the ANGELUS, which has been continuously developed from the pioneer 

 piano-player — brought out in 1895 — to the truly wonderful instrument of to-day.

The Chicago 

 Dryer 



consists of a metal cabinet, absolutely 

 fireproof, to which is attached a laun- 

 dry stove. The cabinet is equipped 

 with sliding racks on which the clothes 

 are hung. The stove not only serves 

 the purpose of furnishing heat for the 

 dryer, but may also be used for boil- 

 ing the clothes, heating flatirons, and 

 heating water by the waterback sys- 

 tem. The dryer is, therefore, prac- 

 tically ;eated by what is ordinarily- 

 waste leat. 



We build and equip dryers for resi. 

 dences, apartment buildings, hotels, 

 hospitals and similar institutions, 

 in any number of compartments. 



Send for a copy of our No. H lo 

 catalogue, which will be mailed 

 free upon request. It describes 

 and illustrates dryers for all

ITS MANUFACTURE 

 ITS DENATURIZATION 

 ITS INDUSTRIAL USE 



The Cost of Manufacturing Denatur- 

 ized Alcohol in Germany and Ger- 

 man Methods of Denaturization 



are discussed by Consul-General Frank H. 

 Mason in Scientific American Supplement 1550. 



The Use, Cost and Efficiency of 

 Alcohol as a Fuel for Gas Engines 



are ably explained by H. Diedrichs in Scientific 

 American Supplement 1596. Many clear dia- 

 grams accompany the text. The article con- 

 siders the fuel value and physical properties of 

 alcohol, and gives details of the alcohol engine 

 wherever they may be different from those of 

 gasoline or crude oil motor. 



The Production of Industrial Alcohol 

 and Its Use in Explosive Motors 



are treated at length in Scientific American 

 Supplement 1581, valuable statistics being 

 given of the cost of manufacturing alcohol 

 from farm products and using it in engines. 



French Methods of Denaturization 



constitute the subject of a good article pub- 

 lished in Scientific American Supplement 1599. 



How Industrial Alcohol is Made and 

 Used 



is told very fully and clearly in No. 3, Vol. 95, 

 of the Scientific American. 



The Most Complete Treatise on the 

 Modern Manufacture of Alcohol 



explaining thoroughly the chemical principles 

 which underlie the process, without too many 

 wearisome technical phrases, and describirg 

 and illustrating all the apparatus required in 

 an alcohol plant, is published in Scientific 

 American Supplements 1603, 1604 and 1605. 

 The article is by L. Baudry de Saunier, the 

 well-known French authority. 



In Supplements 1607, 1608 and 1609 we 

 publish a digest of the rules and regulations 

 under which the United States Internal Rev- 

 enue will permit the manufacture and dena- 

 turization of tax-free alcohol.
