Through Music by His Having Liv- ed, But Also in the Field of Medi- cine--The Inventor of the Laryngo- scope--Was the Teacher Lind In His Youth: most celebrated characters in the world of music reached his hundredth birth- day, and was honored with messages from the King and the Katser, to say nothing of the remembrances from his distinguished friends in the world of art and science. This centenarian 1 Manuel Garcia, who continues to ad- vise singers and composers in London, where he has lived for many, many years. His extreme age is the more astonishing when one reflects that in 1829 he retired from the stage on ac- count of a weak constitution, feeling at the time that few years remained to him unless he husbanded his strength. Fortunately for the world of music, Gracia's farewell to the siage was not 8 leave-taking of the art of singing. Had it been so, much musical history WO! 'have been altered. As events % , 1h which had a profound in- fluence on his world for more than 78 yoars, The Inventor of Laryngoscope. Not only the world of music, but that of medicine as well, has profited by the genius of Manuel Gearcla, for it was he who Invented the laryngoscope shortly #fter he had "retired," an instrument which has been of the utmost value to physicians as well as to scientific teachers of music... For this discovery Signor Garcia was made a doctor of medicine by Koenigsburg University The Investigations which led to the in vention were most important from & scientific point of view As a result of bis experiments and observations Gar cia wrote a monograph on the mechan- tsm of singing, which was received with enthusiasm by the Royal Academy, and which has been the very foundation of all later articles on the subject In 1847 he published a book on the art of einging, and this remains a classic Other essays have appeared in musical magazines since then, and up to quite recent years there has been n arent deterioration in the vigorous le of which he is master in more than on language The Famous Garcia Family 1 app Manuel Garcla comes of one of the most distinguished musical families in the past century.

The author and the professor ed in the same house with the par ehts of the former in 1874, and this Is the description we receive of him then: "He had just entered on his 70th year, but in appearance and bearinge i did not seem much past 50. He had a i light, buoyant step, always walked § quickly, and had a keen, observant eye, i which, when he spoke, would light up | with all the fire and animation of youth. | His dark complexion and his habit of gesticulation bespoke his Southern ori gin, and although equally at home In Spanish, Itallan, French and English, Bh always betrayed a decided prefer chee' for conversing In the French lan guage His modesty was remarkable He could rarely be Induced t talk about himself, but in his opinions he was firm almost to obstinacy, and a prejudice once formed was as difficult to remove as a liking. In argument he was a close reasoner, and would be either a doughty opponent or a warm advocate. The middle line never at- | tracted him. But at all times he was a true, staunch and loyal friend." His Method of Instruction, At this time Garcia was in his prime, | and for 40 years his pupils had Included | some of the most famous heard in Lon- | don and Paris. His method, as describ- ed by Klein, should be intercsting to a wider circle than singers. "To see and hear Garcla teach," he says, "was ever a source of unqualified | pleasure.
