The African Piano.

Among the musical instruments used
on the Congo we notice the long and
short drum. Some drums are used to
beat the time of the dance. Some other
drums are used as telephones for the
transmission Of messages to neighbor-
ing villages. The stringed instruments
represent the African harp. The ivory
horns are used for the convocation Of
popular assemblies. The double bell is
used to call the attention of the people
to some proclamation of the chi ef The
Africans everywhere are very musical,
but their music does not always suit
European taste.
The African dance is not always in
dulged in for amusement alone Dane
ing enters into some of the most solemn
ceremonies, as, for instance, the in
auguration of a new king. Then the
chief elect of the tribe dances very
gravely before the assembled elders and
the people. 7.< +r..
The madimba had been called the
African piano. It is made of calabashes
Of graded sizes, which are surmounted
by boards, Of graded sizes also, all be-
ing attached to semicircular frame.
Each board represents note or half
tone and emits it's q pointed sound
when struck by one of the two rubber
balls at the ends of two sticks, which
are cleverly handled by the musician.
While almost every native can beat the
drum or play some of the minor musical
instruments, the playing Of the madim-
ba is an art which only a few special
lists learn. They must be paid for play
ing at festivities or ceremonies, and
their art supports them, either partly
or entirely. Journal Of American Folk

was established by executive ora ei June

posal under the home stead law. The
reservation contains a total of more
