The Notched Rattle.

To the Editor If The Evening Star:
In The Evening Star of Friday. October
y, appeared a brief notice of the Porto
Rican notched gourd rattle. the "Guira or
Guiro,' taken from the Kansas City Star,
and Prof. Frederick Starr of the Chicago
University publis hes in the Proceedings of
the Davenport Academy of Natural sci-
ences' also note on notched bones frem
Mexico. Carl Lumholtz of the American
Museum in New York dug up twenty-six
human long bones at Zacapu in the state
of Michoacan, Mexico, marked with trans
verse notches. In Globus, published in
Braunschweig. for August Of the current
year, Dr. Edward Seller has an illustrated
paper on the ''Notched Musical Instruments
of the Ancient Mexicans." Finally, in the
September number of the American An
thropologist Mr.. Marshall Saville OF the
American Museum in New York published
a paper on the Musical Bow in Ancient
Mexico. In this paper MIR. Saville gives six
figures taken from the 'Codex Colombino,"
representing an ancient Mexican band Of
music. One musician is playing on hori-
Zontal wooden drum, .'Teponazti." and the
second figure is playing the "Huehuetl,"
skin drum. Numbers and are playing
upon wind instruments; number is evil
IDENTIFY shaking rattle, number is
thought by Mr.. Saville TO be playing upon
a musical bow. Now, II is mooted ques-
tion whether any American aborigines used
a stringed instrument of any kind before
Columbus; indeed. ii has been pretty well
settled they did not From the description
of the "Guira given in The Star IL is be-
yond doubt that NO. in the old Co6ex is
playing upon ''Guira." He carries under
his left arm an object that has notches on
its surface, and in his right hand a two
tined wooden fork with which he is evil

object which he is holding in his left hand
The notched rattle has a wonderful dis
persion throughout the world; il is found in
both hemispheres-among the eastern Ash
atics and in Africa. well as in North and
South America. The Tonkawa Ute and
Pueblo Indians in the United States all en-
ploy a notched stick scraped with a scapula
of a deer or sheep.
Mr.. e. H. Hawley of the United States
National Museum has collected a large
number of references to the use of these
instruments in different parts of the world

One year ago your bishops met at Lam

Questions of the Hour.
Referring to the grave questions con-
fronting America, the letter says:
In the life of the nation. as in the life
of the church., we may not forget that it
is not our cleverness, not our wealth. not
our numbers, that are to determine these.
No genius in statesmanship. no mere bulk
ness constitute enduring strength; whether
in those issues that affect great social prob
lens or great national undertakings. In
the increasing compleXity of our American
life, with its endless varieties of radical
traditions, its ever-increasing accentuation
of social or commercial rivalries or com
petitions, its not unnatural disposition to
grasp at territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT or i'm
perial expansion, there need forever to be
heard the clear notes of those august and
simple aXioms on which rest integrity OF
character and righteousness of conduct. 1t
is the perpetual temptation of success,
whether it be the success of the individual
or the triumphs of the state to forget
these, and to believe, living as We are in
the hot glare of our personal national
triumphS, that force and will and the splen-
dor of illustrious achievement are the.
things that make a people great
BE students of your age and the disci-
pies of all best learning of your genera

guide, and God the Holy Ghost alone re-

A fervent benediction closed the epistle.
The TIE Deum was sung and prayer of
Thanksgiving was made by Bishop Doane.
The closing benediction was delivered by
Bishop Whipple.

BICYCLES IN JAVA.
The Use of Wheels Has Greatly In
creased in Recent Years.

bicycles in Java is the subject of a
recent report by Consul Everett at Batavia.
THE use of bicycles he says, which a
few years ago were unknown here, has
within the last three years advanced ire
mendously. There are now, 1 estimate,
between 1900 and 1900 bicycles in the
Island of Java, and the number is, on the
whole, increasing. Wheeling is confined
entirely to Europeans. half-castes and Chi
nese, the Arabs and natives not having
taken 1t up. Elderly people do not ride,
as they do at home, and women very little,
as 1t is considered immodest for girl over
fifteen to ride bicycle.
About 60 per cent of the wheels in use
here are cheap, and the majority of these
cheap ones are German. This is due not
only to the enterprise of the Germans,
which has far surpassed that of any other
country, but also to the fact that people
here are very close and penurious, and al
ways buy the cheapest article obtainable,
regardless. of quality.
'Of the better. grade Of BICYCLES nearly
all are English. These were first in the
field They are very heavy and clumsy,
and ought to be easily supplanted by our
lighter and better made machines. There
are distinct signs that a few people are
appreciating the fact that it pays to buy a
good wheel. and If that idea spreads ideas
are slow to spread here our manufac-
turers should have great opportunity.
Strange to relate; the most fastidious
and the most willing to pay good prices are
TIE Chinese. who are becoming enthus-
fastic bicyclists, they are better able to
stand the heat than Europeans. The idea
of buying new machine every year, as
we do at home, is incomprehensible to peo-
pie here, and the wheels they bought two
or three years ago will be made to last un-
til they drop to pieces.
"Long-distance riding is unknown. al
though the roads everywhere are almost
perfect. The sun, however, is hot, and
the only time one can ride is for an hour
In the early morning andt about the same
time In the evening. Riding at night, even
with lamp. is looked upon with disap-
proval and suspicion, though it is not pro-
hibited Consequently, With care. there is
no reason why wheel Should not last ten
years. Is
In my opinion the kind Of wheel it would
best pay an American concern to push
would be good medium grade. 1t Is
hardly worth while just yet to try to sell
the very best, few people are willing
to pay the prices. On the other hand. In
the very cheap grades 1t Is useless, as well
as bad policy, to attempt to compete with
the Germans. Let American goods be well
made and honest, and, II properly pushed.
they will surely find a market in an island
where the roads are perfect and where
there are 10000 Europeans dncluding half
castles. who are officially called Europeans)
and hundreds of thousands Of Chinese"
