These are the fundamental principle
underlying organ construction, and they are
all to be- found In primitive types among ,

Metropolitan Museum of Art. Here is a
group of single whistles or pipes gathered )
from different cases. Those who made
them were the aborigines (to speak popu-)
larly) who at some unknown time (not.

habited the islands off southern California,
Tern and Mexico, and the present inhabi

bone, pottery, wood, and wood and gourd
combined. Some have no finger holes and
produce but a single sound; some have
several. The ToKcc flute and the Algoja :
of India are of the latter kind, and can,
by courtesy, be called flageolett. But names
need not trouble us. The prehistoric

(Copyright, 1KW, by Frank Bullen.)
A great many cheap naeers have been
leveled at the newspaper reporters of
America for their eagerness to do their
best for their Journal, usually taking at
first the shape of a palpable absurdity in
representing the newspaper man as asktng
tbe Just arrived guest, while yet on board
the steamer that has brought him over:
"Well, Mr. Blank, and bow do you like
America 7" Personally 1 do not believe
that any reporter ever asked such a ques
tion at such a time. After the visitor has
been in town twenty-four hours, yes, per
haps, and in that I eee nothing at all to
w-onder at. Tbe American reporter being
usually a man whose mind has the sensi
tiveness of a photographic plate is accus
tomed to gather his impressions with llght-nlng-Uke
rapidity and it is tbe most
natural thing In the world that be should
credit other people with a proportion of
the same quality. Journalists know well
that first Impressions of a place. 11 re
corded promptly, are most valuable, be
cause they are liable to be much nearer
tbe truth than when a few days later the
znlnd has become something of a pallmp
nest, which It may take months of quiet to
Interpret.
As far at I am concerned 1 have not
been asked what It considered the stereo
typed question at all and I am rather glad,
because now, being invited to say some
thing on this subject, what I desire to say
is not likely to be anything but what I
really 'feel, not refracted through the prism
of another man's mind.
The first impression I have received is
that of lavlshness In every direction, the
next 1 that of a high-toned courtesy shin
ing through abruptness of speech and cruel
ties of manner, as lf upon a rough British
stock had been grafted the punctilio of the
Spanish grandee, bereft of its inslnceritv.
Next I would place atrenuousness of life la
all departments, I liave been told several
timet that Boston Is quiet compared to New
York, and quietnest itself compared with
Chicago. That may in some measure be
false modesiy, but I am Inclined to think
that thera must be considerable ground for
It lf it is so, all I can say is that to me.
who know- most of our British cities ex
tremely well, the philosophic calm of Bct

cheerfully admit, wonderlngly, too. that the
folks who are engaged In this, to me. life
and death struggle have, in tbe mlBst of
their apparently desperate haste, nothlag of
flurry about them. They give me the im
pression that It would be no easy thing to
get them rattled." And that Is a great
thing. To keep one's head perfectly clear

qualities which I believe exist nowhere In
tuch universality at they do in the United

I alto have a dim and Inchoate idea that
for thlt intensity of life and this ma
jestic serenity of demeanor, reminding one
of the outtide of a hlgh-prctture cylinder
la a quadruple-expansion engine, a price
must be paid- And I feel that thU price
Is high. Yet occasionally I meet a man
who Is certainly in the lsssedlate vicinity
of three-score and ten. but whose eye it
undtmmed, who bears himself as alertly
and holds himself at erect as any young
ster ot them all. And I feel strangely
moved at this wonderfu,' spectacle that of
ana it a only a short time arro. rospara-
I tlvely, that these sane Indian made their

i-gyptla&c, who had flutes with the cm-
boachure at the side, like the modern
transverse flute, as we'l as flutes with the
embouchure at the end (flutcs--bec. break

ment "ecbt ', the Romans called it "Lbis."
Both words mean the same thine the leg

explanation. Once upon a time Diana took lbt or to brace the muscles la 'blow

Rellr of the Muse Ane.
There is a theory that not only instru
ments of the flute kind, but music Itself
may have originated la primitive man's ob
servation of the sound made by the wind
blowing across the open ends of broken
reeds. Mere speculation, of course, but
if some of the bone whistles found in caves

in blowing arross the tube of a hollow fcev
or the mouth of an empty bottle. These
relics of the ttone age are little bones,

whlstle. a bretk-fiute, with tkre finger
holes, has also been found among remains
of the cave bear. It maker had knowledge
of pitch up to four tonet at least.
A considerable degree of civilization is
to be assumed before baked clay would be
used for flutes, and such a degree was pos
sessed by the inhabitants of Mexico, Cen
tral America and Peru. Many pottery
whittle have been found In the graves of
the Aztecs and Toltecs. some of them fan- j
tattle caricatures of animal shapes in form, i
which may have been mere toys, some more
obvitusly designed for artistic purposes. A
eignificant fact in connection with the Mex- i
lean and Peruvian instruments is that they i
give out the five note (pentatonic) scale.

Apropos of the popular estimation in which
tbe musical pipe was held by tbe Aztecs,

At so early a date I caxtaot speak of the

cannot help feeling that there must be
a very large number of such cases. How-

peclally of so sombr a character.
One thought more in this connection must
be noted before 1 proceed. It is that if this

a fashion ever do become excited what will
their excitation meaa? lf they do what
