It may be feverish, merely mournful, cadavre, or tranquil, and entirely beautiful; but there is not a phrase that is not polished as far as a phrase will bear polishing. It is marvellous music; but, all the same, it is sick, unhealthy music." "Liszt's estimate of the technical importance of Chopin's works," writes Mr. W.J. Henderson, "is not too large.
For an ordinary class funeral he usually put in about three hours for the polishing; that came to one and nine.
Carborundum, a silicide of carbon, is a valuable substance produced by the action of the heat of an electric furnace on an intimate mixture of carbon and sand. It has an extensive use as an abrasive for grinding and polishing. Artificial graphite is another product produced by the long-continued action of the heat of the electric furnace on carbon under certain conditions.
