When the steamships st. Louis and
SIT. Paul, of the American line, are
ready for service the passengers Will
be greeted with an innovation, which
will take the form of magnlflcent
pipe organ on each ship, and each yes
sci will be accompanied by profes-
stonlal organist. The instruments will
be unique Each win have fourteen
stons with all the modern appliances
for operating the registers without
touching the knobs. The organ will
occupy an elevated space, arched into
the dining room. The arch is to be
filled with decorated speaking pipes
and a fan of trumpets will surmount
the whole. Brass will be substituted
for iron to provide against the damp
air and the woodwork of THE instru-
menIts will have a heavy coating OF
shellac. The keyboard of the instru'
ments will be entirely removed from
the organ proper, and placed 30 fee
distant on the level of the saloon deck
To operate the organ from this dis
tance an electric action will be used
which has been perfected to such
degree that single storage cell o
two volts tension Is sufficient to op
crate with absolute certainty.

ton furnished by the respective auditors

extent what was needed.
THE PRELIMINARY WORK.
