Limited space permits only briefest mention of a few cardinal points in its history. Of first Importance, the parent instrument was a set of pipes fastened together in k row and made to sound by the direct fo#ce of the breath. Later some 200 years before Christ, there came the water organ, which. In turn, gave place to the bellows type of Instrument that was first used in the church about 430 A. D. It Is the bellows type, highly perfected, that Is in common use today. J fh this country, our strait-laced Puritan ancestors opposed music as an invention of the Evil One hltaseif, so Its acceptance came slowly, and up to the middle of the Seventeenth century, only that of the crudest kind was heard. The real history of the pipe organ in America began about 1713, with the Importation from England of what has come to be known as the Brattle organ. It came to Boston, Mass., as the property of Thomas Brattle, a prlminent man of the time, and was set up In King s chapel. Other organs were imported In the years that followed, until John Clemm produced the first Amerlcan-bullt Instrument In 1737.

Savage, General Manager METROPOLITAN SYSTEM Yugm-Sleivaktan CapitalHtld Many Belgrade, capital #f Yupo-SiaviaT has shared with Rome the interest of diplomatic circles during the recent threatened friction between Yugoslavia and Ualy over Albania. This Balkan qapital la the subject of the following bulletin from the National Geographic society: ."It was inevitable that there should be an Important city on the site of Belgrade," aays the bulletin. "It Is situated on the angle of land between the Save and Danube at the meeting point of those two important rivers. At llie very apex of the triangle is a chalk cliff, some 200 feet high. This became a^fortress and citadel as early as the Third century B. C., when Cel tic tribes ertWWished Belgrade's predecessor, the town of Singidunum. "Through the centuries that have passed since, this rock has played^an Important part In European aftalrs. It was held, successively by Celts, Romans, Huns, Goths, Bulgarians, By- »Miiiifies, Hungarians, Serbians and Austrtans. One of its most important holders was the Turk. From 1521 until little more than half a century agd It was In Turkish hands, except for short periods, and was Islam's norther most arrow aimed,, at the heart of Christendom. The Turkish garrison finally withdrew in 1866, when Serbia became practically independent "Belgrade is sometimes known by the older form, Beograd. The name means 'White City.' an appropriate name, tHe observer feels, when he sees the white cliff of the citadel and sundry white towers and walls. Even In the days when Belgrade's streets were narrow, dirty, oriental ways, the vleW from across the Danube or from Ita waters was a charming one. "The aspect of the dty has changed greatly in recent years, and it has little now to distinguish it from other European capitals: Since the World war there has been a marked building boom, stimulated in part by laws holding new dwellings tax free for 25 years, and other new structures for shorter terms. The population of the capital, drawn from a much greater area than that of prewar Serbia, has practically doubled, being now about 200,009. "Old Russia at times sought influence over Serbia, the blood of whose people is also Slavic. For one of the principal thoroughfares Czar Nicholas gave the paving, having it laid by Russian laborers. The street was renamed Czaritza, and bear^ that name today. At five o'clock each afternoon police clear the street of carriages and automobiles and the promenading populace fills the space from curb to curb, many dropping into the chairs of the sidewalk cafes for coffee and conversation. It is an interesting, colorful spectacle, this afternoon parade on Czaritza street, with the promenadera running the gamut from peasant to man and woman of the world. "In addition to Its wars and sieges, Belgrade has had its stark tragedies. In 1868 Prince Michael, who had brought about the evacuation of the Turks, and had given Serbia Its first taste of Independence for centuries, was assassinated in his garden. In 1903 King Alexander and Queen Draga of Serbia were murdered in their palace. This structure of ill omen was demolished and a new palace built for the king of a different dynasty wfte their grandmother, Mrs. Stevenson, in Michigan. ^ ^ ,•** »11.• <i iiiVfrifl iin'i - ji cities, although having flowing; Friday, going to meet his two streams within reach, are unable to «aufifhters, Cecelia and Louise, who provide their youth with this "health- j s^^J_e iL past ^eeks wit« ful outdoor sport.

The quarry Is the great-great-grest-grandfather of the cricket and cockroach who lived during the Ice age. The hunters are Miss Marjory Ford of Ottawa, Ont., Miss B. Hamilton, lecturer at Toronto university, and Miss Abtdh, East Indian student at Toronto university. The gyrlloblatta Is a primitive and abnormal form of Insect life that survived and adapted Itself to the Ice age when the continent was buried beneath glaciers. Upon mossy logs at the foot of the glaciers It has lived ever since, and today its haunts are about Moraine lake, whose beautifn! glacier ts one of the attractions of the Rockies. It dies of heat If exposed to a temperature over 10 degrees above freezing, at*! thrives in subzero weather. To be preserved alive it must be taken away in pans of cracked Ice and kept in a refrigerautr. The peculiar habits oPhiis etymological marvel were discovered by l)r Norma Ford of Toronto university, and the insect itself was first found by Dr. F. M. Walker of Toronto some years ago upon Sulphur mountain, near Banff, Alta. There are (ew specimens in existence, and Moraine lake Is one of two or three places in the, world where they can be found. Dread of Evil Spirite Inherent in Papuans Papnaps are pagan, and largely governed by superstitious beliefs handed down from generation to generation. The Papuan cautiously) approaches the rocks on the shores off, the ocean ajid inland streams lest a spirit that abides there stir up a storm. A spirit in the cloads destroys their children, but the strongest spirit ^urks in the forests. For this reason tribesmen seldom venture out at nfghf. Papuan villages are built more for protection than comfort. Near the sea coast and rivers many of them are built over the water, while in the interior they occupy the hills where the tribesmen can survey the neighborhood for enemy invaders. If a village is In a valley, It Is usually protected by a high stockade or the huts are In the tree tops. Tree platform «rp tribal watch-tower*.

When he returned his beer bad gone. "I say," he complained loudly, "Where's my drink?" "Oh, didn't you know?" chuckled a nearby denizen of an easy chair, "Old Jenkins came along with the ten of diamonds and took the trick." Telegraph, London. Pawbuska, Okia.--The doleful rap of an auctioneer's hammer has started the small village of Herd in Okla poroa s vast 'Osage district toward a pliSce in the realm of "ghost cities." Virtually the entire town, twenty five miles borth of here, has been atietioned off on the steps of the connty court house. Behind the sale Is a dm,1? °f 8 ?hattere<1 dream of "Old Bill Easely, territorial rancher and landowner who envisioned the village. Hardly had the echo of rattle's hoofs died away than the then new Oklahoma town sprang Into existence The Santa Fe promised a railroad through the vast Easely ranch. Tbe road agreed tentatively to build a sta Hon on a section of the proposed townsite. Visioning a city on his ranch. Easely mortgaged liis land and invested a small fortune ID the town of Herd. He induced s few grocery stores, a lumber yard .and other businesses to locate there. But railroads are no respecters of individual fortunes and plans were changed. The road never ciune through. A detailed survey by the Santa Fe disclosed ths.t Aerd had been built on a grade which would be costly to cut through. Easelj became embittered toward the railroad company. He fought the building of tbe right of waj through his ranch at all. Armed with a rifle, he guarded fences on his ranch from workmen. He was jailed for violation of a court order. Three years age the ranchman died. Hfs property was mortgaged, taxes were not paid and the village had become a place of empty buildings. The sheriffs sale was to satisfy mortgages and collect taxes. A Sfr dan (Kan.)^ bank took five whole blocks, twenty-five scattered lots over the town and an undivided half of a land allotment, which Easely had owned, for its assessed valuation when no other bidders made an offer. The 415 acres which had composed Easely's home estate was purchased by a Pawhuska man at $5 an acre. Thirty-two other lota went to scattered bidders at prices ranging from $1.50 to $7 per lot _ _ 29 Americans in Newly Started German School Berljjji.--1Twenty-nine .of the forty, two students enrolled l» the newly opened German Music Institute for Foreigners are Americans, according to a recent announcement Tbe remaining students come from Eng land, Finland, Holland, Hungary, Rumania, Russia, Sweden and Switserland. Classes are being held In the Charlottenburg castle In the western section of Berlin. Special rooms in the castle have been set aside for this purpose by tbe Prussian minister of education, one of these rooms being tbe famous golden gallery which wa8 for the first time opened to the pub lie during the recent Berlin festival. Wiihelm Furtwaengler is president of the Institute. Animal and Bird "Parks'* We hear much about parks for cities and men, but little about such places for animals. Yet they exist Puffin Island, off the coast of Anglesay, is a "park" sacred to wild birds. At Hawksmoor, near Cheadle, Staffordshire. England, there is another natural "park" of 200 acres for birds. A "park" for birds at Ealing, to be adapted from a large house with grounds, and to cost some $25,000 was proposed by the Selborne society as a memorial to the late W. H. Hudson. Nestling in the Guif of St. Lawrence is the beautifully wooded, mountainous Island of Anticosti. The 2,600 square miles of this property is que giant fish and game "park." Town Needs Doctor, Judge Sets Him Free Frtederica, Del.--The large number of sick persons in this town saved Dr. Claude Keith from a prison sentence for driving an automobile while intoxicated. Joseph Cross, president of the town board, pleaded for him. "He is badly needed in Fred erica," he said. "The town will suffer greatly if this man is sent to jail. There is only one other physician, an aged man, and Dr. Keith does most of the wortc." Judge Lynn fined tbe physician $200 and gave him a yus^ pended sentence of three months. He was placed o^ parole for two years on his prom ts£ that he would not drive his car during that time. Doctor Keith was arrested In Wilmington, where he was not known. . 1 Improving the Foresight , iHiii talk a good deal of the ority of hindsight as compared with foresight . . .
