A Chinese Myth.

How was the musical scale first in
vented? That query, which has trou-
bled the theorists of all lands, and has
had it's answer hitherto only in mysti-
flying speculations and unintelligible
theories, the Chinese will reply to by q
legend most ingenious and most apro-
pos, which, they hold, offers complete
explanation of the mystery. In the
reign of Hoany-ty, they say, there was
once prince called Lyng-lun, who was
same time the most profound musician
in China. He, under pain of severe
penalty by the order-loving emperor,
was commanded to arrange and regu-
late Chinese music on the same prlncl-
pie Whereon Hoang-ty had arranged
law and politics throughout the Chi
nese Empire.
Full of thought, Lyng-lun wandered
to the land of Si-jaung, where the bam-
boos grow Having taken one of them,
he cut it off between two OF the knots,
and pushing out the p;th, blew into the
hollow. The bamboo uttered a most
beautiful note, to Lyng-lun's intense
surprise. simultaneously, the river
Hoang-ho, which ran boiling by,
roared with its waves, and the tone was
in unison with the note of the bamboo.
Behold" cried Lyng-lun, ''the funda-
mental sound of nature!' Two mag
ical birds then came and perched them
selves upon some trees near, and sang
one after the other the seven notes OF
the scale, starting from the tone witch
had been roared by the Hoang-ho and
warbled by the bamboo. Here is a
scale, says the Chinese, at once intelli-
gible, inimitable and easily revealed.
Lying lun had merely to cut seven more
bamboos and tune them to the pitches
he had heard, and the scale was made.
This he did; and thus was the art OF
music inaugurated and founded by
Hoang-ty's court musician on firm ana
unalterable basis.
