1.-THE legend tells lis that Lying.
Lun wandered, deep in thought, to
the land of Lijoimig, where the BAN.
bocs grow. He took one, cut piece

having pushed out the pith, blew
into the hollow, whereby he produt ed
a beautiful tone. like the sound Of
his own voice. At this moment, the
river HOangho, which ran boiling
along few PAGES off. roared with its
waves, and the noise 1t made was
also In unison with the sound Of
Lyng.Lun's beautiful voice, and the
SOUND of the bamboo.
Behold Them cried Lyng.Lun,
the fundamental sound Of nature!'
And as he was musing on this won
dcrful coincidence, the magic bird
FOung. hoang and his mate came fly,

and began TO sing. Imagine the de
light OF our musician when nc found
that their song was also In unison
with the sounds OF the river. tho

the winds were husbed. and all the
birds Of the air we're silent, rs they
listened to the song Of the magic bird
and his mate.
',As they sang, Lyng.Lun, who had
found his opportunity and like wise
man meant to Use 1t, kept cutting
bambOos, aud tuning them to the
notes Of the birds, six to the notes ri
the male and six tn the notes of the
female. When they had finished
singing, Lyng.Lun had twelve BAN
boos cut and tuned, which he bound
together and took to the King, and
they gave forth the twelve notes oil

'The odd notes +, 9, A, H. c,
