! Caruso's vocal chords were twice the
' normal length of these organs, and his
i breathing power was described as phe
j nomenal. The epiglottis was as thick
; as that of the deepest bass singers, while
Its attachment to the tongue was of such
a nature an to permit the greatest rapid
ity of vibrations, thus accounting for
the Immense range of the great tenor's
voice. His lung power wan ho enormous
that he could make the cords of a piano
vibrate by merely breathing upon them.
The doctors describe Caruso's lungs as
fhose of a superman, and declare that
from head to foot he was a magnificent
singing machine.
Mrs. Enrico Carug*> denied last night
that Caruso's throat had been left to
the Naples Museum, as was reported In
a dispatch from Rome. Shv recalled
that several years ago there *as a re
port that the singer had told a London
physician that he would ma'<M provi
sion In his will for the gift of his
throat to the Naples Museum f?r med
ical examination. She said Here was
no such clause In the will.
Caruso's body was prepared for
burial Intact, and is now renting In a
chapel of the Canessa family In Planto
Cemetery, Naples, while Canjso's own
chapel Is being built. The chapel Is
kept locked, Mrs. Caruso said, and she
has the only key.
Her statements were emphatically con
firmed by Bruno Zlrato, friend and sec
retary to the tenor.
