Ahx, who lived a, AK, in Provence,
about the middle OF the 18th century.
AK, after many years stuhy and
labor, succeeded in constructing al
aut maton figure, having the shape OF
skel' ton, which, by means of u
concealed mechanism, played or had
the appearance Ut playing on the
guitar.
The artist after having tuned in
perfect unsson two guitars, placed one
III the hands ut the skeleton, IN proper
position tor playing, aud on u calm
summer evening, having thrown open
tie window OF his apartment, h- fixed
the skeleton, with thu guitar in it,

seen from the street.

Of which were faithfully repeated or
echoed by the guitar held by the
skel' ton, ut thu same tim that the
movement OF its wooden fis ure, as II
really executing tle music, completed

This strange musical feat drew
crowds around tire house Of the III
