            the octave; she has good high tones.
        (b) The larger kind of interval between contiguous sounds

            [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The use of the word tone, both for a sound and for the
           interval between two sounds or tones, is confusing, but
           is common -- almost universal.
           [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: Nearly every musical sound is composite, consisting of
           several simultaneous tones having different rates of
           vibration according to fixed laws, which depend upon
           the nature of the vibrating body and the mode of
           excitation. The components (of a composite sound) are
           called partial tones; that one having the lowest rate
           of vibration is the fundamental tone, and the other
           partial tones are called harmonics, or overtones. The
           vibration ratios of the partial tones composing any
           sound are expressed by all, or by a part, of the
           numbers in the series 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.; and the
           quality of any sound (the tone color) is due in part to
           the presence or absence of overtones as represented in
           this series, and in part to the greater or less
           intensity of those present as compared with the
           fundamental tone and with one another. Resultant tones,
           combination tones, summation tones, difference tones,
           Tartini's tones (terms only in part synonymous) are
           produced by the simultaneous sounding of two or more
           primary (simple or composite) tones.
           [1913 Webster]
  
     5. (Med.) That state of a body, or of any of its organs or
        parts, in which the animal functions are healthy and
        performed with due vigor.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: In this sense, the word is metaphorically applied to
           character or faculties, intellectual and moral; as, his
           mind has lost its tone.
           [1913 Webster]
  
     6. (Physiol.) Tonicity; as, arterial tone.

              state of public affairs, . . . drag the mind down .
              . . from a philosophical tone or temper, to the
              drudgery of private and public business.

     measure or meter, in pl., modes or keys differing in pitch;
     akin to ? to stretch or strain. See Thin, and cf.
     Monotonous,+Thunder,+Ton+fasion,{Tune" rel="nofollow">Monotonous, Thunder, Ton fasion,{Tune.]
     1. Sound, or the character of a sound, or a sound considered
        as of this or that character; as, a low, high, loud,
        grave, acute, sweet, or harsh tone.

        artificial strain of voice; an affected speaking with a
        measured rhythm ahd a regular rise and fall of the voice;
        as, children often read with a tone.
  
     4. (Mus.)
        (a) A sound considered as to pitch; as, the seven tones of
            the octave; she has good high tones.
        (b) The larger kind of interval between contiguous sounds

            instrument; as, a rich tone, a reedy tone.
        (d) A mode or tune or plain chant; as, the Gregorian

     Note: The use of the word tone, both for a sound and for the
           interval between two sounds or tones, is confusing, but
           is common -- almost universal.
  
     Note: Nearly every musical sound is composite, consisting of
           several simultaneous tones having different rates of
           vibration according to fixed laws, which depend upon
           the nature of the vibrating body and the mode of
           excitation. The components (of a composite sound) are
           called partial tones; that one having the lowest rate
           of vibration is the fundamental tone, and the other
           partial tones are called harmonics, or overtones. The
           vibration ratios of the partial tones composing any
           sound are expressed by all, or by a part, of the
           numbers in the series 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.; and the
           quality of any sound (the tone color) is due in part to
           the presence or absence of overtones as represented in
           this series, and in part to the greater or less
           intensity of those present as compared with the
           fundamental tone and with one another. Resultant tones,
           combination tones, summation tones, difference tones,
           Tartini's tones (terms only in part synonymous) are
           produced by the simultaneous sounding of two or more
           primary (simple or composite) tones.
  
     5. (Med.) That state of a body, or of any of its organs or
        parts, in which the animal functions are healthy and
        performed with due vigor.
  
     Note: In this sense, the word is metaphorically applied to
           character or faculties, intellectual and moral; as, his
           mind has lost its tone.
  
     6. (Physiol.) Tonicity; as, arterial tone.
  
     7. State of mind; temper; mood.
  
              The strange situation I am in and the melancholy
              state of public affairs, . . . drag the mind down .

     10. The general effect of a picture produced by the
