The system OF sound teiegraphy
used By the people living on the Dor.
der Of the Gulf OF Guinea. West Az
RIGA, is Of interest as 4 primitive So
luton Of the problem of communi-
cation through short distances. The
instrument Is made &c follows:
Take 3 log Of hard wood, about
two feet long and about ; foot In
diameter. Plane of one side longi-
ludinally 20 q surface four or five
inches wide. In the center of this
surface mark of an elongated and
somewhat distorted Greek cross. The
longer arms are placed longitudinal
lys and occupy about one-third Of the
plane surface. The transverse arms
are three times as broad, and extend
entirely across this surface.
The natives dig out the wood with
In the outline Of this cross. and from
there gradually hollow out the whole
log. The sides, beginning Is the Gen.
Ter, are trimmed OF lateFally toward
the ends, which are rounded of.
The instrument is now ready. Il viii
be perceived that BY the method
above described we have 8 hollow
drum with four tongues in the ceRter,
each being Of q different thickness,
30 as 70 produce a different sound
when struck.
Two pieces Of bamboo. the size Of
mans wrist and about two feet
long, are selected and stripped Of the
hard outside. which leaves the soft,
pithy portion for use. This bamboo
Is Of = peculiar kind, free from knots
and solid throughout. With these
sticks, used In g proper manner on
the four tongues Of the drum, CON-
bination Of sounds IS produced
which, in connection with time as
used 10 music, forms perfect tele-
graphic language, readily understood
by the initiated, the air being the
transmitter. With this simple instru-
ment the natives Of the Gulf Of Guinea
