NATURAL MUSIC.

The Savages Initiate the Melody of the
Rain and the Cascade.
The melody OF rain dancing on the
stones or pelting down in it's first
drops on the dry SOIL of a forest or a
heath, is a species of sound that the
art of music has yet to initiate. if it
would complete its list of Instruments
The Mexicans had some rattles made
OF very peculiar clay with pipes in
side, which were intended to represent
this sound. says Good Words.
Certain tribes OF the North Ameri-
can Indians have been similarly fasci-
mated by the loud pIash Of water, to
the beauty of which we have alluded
before. They have instruments con-
structed accordingly with view to
reproduce this sound. Large buffalo
hides are filed with water and sewn
up in the manner OF wine bags. Drum
ST cks Of cork, or with their heads
covered by very fine gum, are
welded by the player, and the gentle
and monOtonous plash of water is pro-
duced by the drumstick' striking soft
~ on the skin. The natives. will sit
and ! stem to these instruments for
hours
Certain tribes on the Amazon have
in similar way been fascinated by
the music of the waterfall Musical
instruments were found in use among
them consisting of a complicated
mechanism by which water was poured
from one bowl into another in imita-
ton of the cascade and then returned
by the receiving bowl into the vessel
that had poured it; so that by repe-
ton of this mechanism a constant
murmur of cascade could be kept up
so long as the aud ience desired or the
player was able to perform it
