Tint Was Timely.

check of $1,000 to the Western Theological

7sAHE city of Valparaiso is called the
XIX finest port on the west coast of South

the native residents have built up the bust
ness portion of the place in a way
surprising any other South American

Is a mystery, as there is no suggestion of a
vale or more of heavenly resort than to be
found in scores Of other towns. Around the
bay. that is several hundred fathoms deep,
is mountain ridge, with jutting cliffs de-
scending at intervals to the waters edge.
Numerous rayines have been cut by the
wash of water continued for years and
centuries from the higher lands and slopes,
through which are the avenues to the sur
rounding country. Between the sea and
the mountains is a sandy strip, and along
this for three or four miles is the city. There
is only room for one street except in few
short breaks. This one thoroughfare, called
the "Calle Victoria" follows the circle of
the harbor, and, as matter of course. has
the banks, business blocks and the best
private houses on it. As the city has grown

somehow with that faculty there goes the
capacity tor the most relentless invective
the most whitening sarcasm. So, naturally
enough, the Janko keyboard has had to fight
its way even to respectful consideration and
it is yet to be demonstrated whether it has
attained that in full.
This new keyboard, which was publicly
exhibited by Professor Hanssmann. at
Chickering Hall, is apparently most COM
pick affair, but is intended to simplify the
study of music and facilitate the execution
of any score composed or arranged for the
pianoforte. 1t looks at first glance like the
keyboard of an immense organ, for the
keys are arranged in six banks. Further
more there Is not only the multitude of
banks, but the COMPASS of the instrument
apparently is shortened. for the keys, from
deepest bass note to highest treble, extend
only little more than half way the length
covered by the standard keyboard of grand
piano. The inventor is Paul Won Janko, an
Hungarian. Very early in his childhood he
evinced talent of music, and his people gave
him every opportunity for study. Un-
happily he saw it then, but perhaps
happily for future musicians, he found
very soon that he never could become per-
former OF the first rank, because of some
Thing the matter with one of his hands.
