FLUTES OF THE PYRAMIDs.

Played 5000 Years After Burial, They Show
That the Egyptians Had Our scale.
Prom the London Daily News.
A number of eminent musicians were invited
to listen to a highly interesting lecture de-
livered yesterday to the Royal Academy
students by Mr.. T. L. Southgate, upon ancient
Egyptian musical instruments in general and
upon the double pipes recently discovered by
Mr.. Flinders Petrie in the tomb at Kahun in
particular. From the fact that the flutes shown
in the frescoes we're Of various lengths Mr.
Southgate conjectured that the Egyptians al
most from the time of Moses must have had
knowledge of some sort Of harmony, while - in
one of the frescoes seven flute performers were
simultaneously playing an eighth had what no
whimsically described as ''ifty bars rest"
Still more interesting was the exhibition of
the actual flutes discovered in the lady's ear
cophagus at kahun and indisputably dating
before the time Of King David Of Israel. Per-
formed upon land the task Of playing these
archaic instruments ia now most difficulty by
Mr.. J. Finn, they yesterday gave practically the
exact notes OF our diatonic scale, thus proving
in every sense OF the term to actual demonstra-
ton--that our scale was known to the Egyptians
many centuries before the Greeks, from whom
it had enormously been supposed we borrowed
IT. No attempt was made to perform upon the
double aute, and, indeed, il ever the two were
played together the art is now lost But upon
= copy of one Of these ancient flutes Mr. Finn
performed very ancient funeral dirge en-
titled "The Song of Sonus." The tone Of these
instruments, we may add, in no way resembles
that Of the flutes of today y. 1t to q certain eI-
tent recalls the drone Of the bagpipe, although
one prominent musician yesterday irrevereutly
ikened it to the sound Of the small tooth comb
and tissue paper Of chiidhoods days.
Many other copies Of ancient instruments
were tried yesterday, amsng them . replica Of
q flute discovered two years ago by Q French
savant), With eleven holos, the spproximate
date being 1875 Be, that is to sy, during the
period that the 1sraelites were still in Egypt
To stop" eleven holes in q flute would seem
to demand that one Of the hands should have
an extra finger; but Mr.. Finn, after many
trials, has succeeded in doing it, and the notes
given were practically those of our chromatic
scale. From these and other facts Mr.. South
gate, in the peroration to his very valuable
lecture, contended that the tonality Of the an
sient Egyptians was the source Of our own
music, and certainly none of the musicians
present were willing to contradict Q doctrine
which seems quite feasible.

A BURST OF ROYAL TEMPER.
What Happened Between William III q
the Netherlands and ThOrbecke.

What Happened Between William III of
the Netherlands and ThOrbecke.
King William III Of the Netherlands, who
died a few days ago, was, in his best DAYS, a
man of frightful temper, says the New York
Sun. The person who excited him above all
others was the lank, phlegmatic Thorbecke,
who left the desk of Utrecht professorship to
become a minister of state. The king ex-
pressed his contempt for Thorbecke by always
addressing him as 'Sir Professor In 1870
while William was drifting swiftly toward an
alliance with France. in order that he might
avenge the wrongs all Dutct1men feel they
have sustained at German hands, the "Pro-
fessor' was selected to convince the king that
his people would not support him in such q
course. Thorbecke entered the kings bed
chamber with his hands behind him on the
morning Of the day Of the decision.
Good morning, sir professor. What is the
newsY" asked the king.
Nothing special, sire; only the people Of The
Hague are talking good deal OF nonsense"
said Thorbecke, with diplomatic deliberate
ness.
"Humph! Concerning my ministers?"
mo, sire, droned ON Thorbecke, concern
ing you. ,,.,. .,o,,.,, -. ,. ,.,
what, oh, honored professor, concerning me?'
''Sire, hardly wish to repeat it. l."
Enough! l wish to hear it,
''Well, sire, the people Of The Hague say you
are as crazy as q loom
Biff Like a shot the short, heavy BODY Of
the king bounced from the bed to the floor
Purple and speechess, he caught up a great
silver inkstand to throw it at Thorbecke. His
hand became entangled for o moment in the
bed curtains: Thorbecke strobe up to him,
thrust down his keen white face to the level OF
the kings eyes, and said in tone of icy in
difference:
''And if you strike me with the inkstand the

and yet now and then one Of them, with the
bold frankness of childhood, does say out
boldly just what il thinks. IL was one of these
