A musical house in New York has manufac-
tured something new, which is called Double
Octave Piano. The improvement consists in
this: there are three strings to each note, with
in certain range; two of them are tuned to
one pitch, while the third string is tuned to the
octave above. The action is shifting and by
simple pressure of q pedal, brings the ham
mer under the three strings, all of which it
strikes square and simultaneously, producing a
tone at once singularly beautiful and quite
novel;

"SRENG THE LIONS. s."-Formerly there
was menagere in the Tower of London,
in which lions were kept it was discon-
tinued about forty years ago. During these
times of imperative simplicity, when u
stranger visited the metropo)i, for the first
time, it was usual to take him to the Tower
and show him the lions as one of the chief
sights and on the strangers return to the
country, it was usual to ask him whether
he had seen the lions. Nowadays, when
a Londoner visits the country for the first
time, ho is taken by his friends TO see the
most remarkable objects Of the place, which
by analogy are called "the lions" One con-
