WONDERFUL PERUVIAN WORK.
Whistling Jugs Made By an An
Client Race.

Whistling Jugs Made By an An
Client Race.
The silvadors or musical jugs found
among the burial places Of Peru are
most ingenious specimens of handi-
work. A silvio in the William 8. S.Vaux
collection at Philadelphia consists oi
two vases whose bodies are Joined one
to the other, with hole or opening
between them. The neck of one Of
these vases is closed, with the excep.
ton of small opening in which a
clay pipe is inserted, leading to the
body Of a whistle. When liquid is
poured into the open-necked vase the
air is compressed into the other, and
in escaping through the narrow open
ing, is forced into the whistle,
the vibrations producing sounds.
Many Of these sounds represent
the notes of birds; one in
the Clay collection Of Philadel-
phia, Pennsylvania, initiates the
notes of the robin, or some other
member Of the thrush tribe peculiar
to Peru. The. closed neck of this
double vase is modelled into q repre-
sentation of q birds head, which is
thrush-like in character. Another
water vase in the same collection,
representing q llama, initiates the
disgusting habit which this animal
possesses of ejecting it's saliva when
enraged. The kissing sound which
accompanies this action is admirably
initiated. A black tube of earthen-
ware, ornamepted with q grotesque
head in low relief, to which short
arms are attached pressing q three
tubed syrinx to its lips (Clay collec-
tion), deserves especial mention, as it
suggests the evolution of this instru-
ment from . single tube to more
complicated forms.
Peruvian woven tissues, often dyed
in brilliant hues. are unsurpassed by
the textile productions of any other
ancient American people. Their Jewel.
ry of gold and silver is remark able.
Statuettes in the precious metals are
even more wo derful; they represent
monkeys, birds with their feathers,
fish with scales, etc., modelled in re.
lief or intaglio. Human figures were
also cast in precious metals, the ar
fists even attempting groups. Beads
were made of gold, silver, glass and
earthenware. Wood was used to fur.
nish objects in daily use, and an OK.

ornamented combs that are some.

1t is yet to be shown that the an.
cient Peruvians possessed system oi
coinage, or of recording their ideas by
system of writing either hierc.
glyphic or phonetic. It is supposed
that some system Of communicating
