A CURIOUS ORGAN.
used In a College to Study the Science
of Note. NnEi,~

used In q College to Study the Science
or NOte-Mnking.
An organ which the leading organist of
New York could not play is now being used
by professors Of Cornell College. This
organ is not, as might be supposed, cut of
tune 1t is because 1t is in perfect tune tina +
1t differs so radically from an ordinary
organ. The ordinary organ, such as is used
In churches and drawing rooms is not in
tune, even after the maker has just de-
clared it to be ins perfect order.
The Cornell organ was invented by Won
Helmholtz, and IT contains purely mathe-
NAUTICAL scale. 1t is made for the composi-
ton CT chords such as are rot to be OBJ
tanned on an ordinary instrument. and is
used to study the vibration of notes. and of
what tones an organ note is made Every
tone in music is to be found on this organ.
For instance, what are known is sharns
and fats on piano are not really sharps
and flats. c sharp ana d flat are struck on
the same black Key, but strictly speaking.
that black key Is nefther-it is note or
tone situated midway between c sharp and
d fiat. If both of the latter were on the
piano, however,i the difference between
them is so slightothat 1t would confuse the
player. So a compromise is made, and the
two are blended or, rather the tone mid
way between them Is used.
But in Cornell the organ contains KEYS
for every note in the scale, no matter how
fine the graduation. With it students can
see just how note on the organ is built
up. Certain notes on the organ are made
up of certain other tones. On the ordinary
plano you would not be able to Illustrate
what these notes are. You would need the
true sharps and flats in order to Compose
the notes. The overtones on the domestic
instrument would be quite different. The
pure fifth, which can here be accurately de-
poted, is very much curtailed on the piano.
Used in connection with this organ are a
complete set of resonators or tuning forks
In order to find out how many reservations
are contained in given note It is only nee
essary to strike that note. Those forks
which refound In sympathy with It are sure
to be included in the makeup of the note.
The silent ones are not included in It,

country was Richard Lee, who was

Neuralgia is q. nervous affsctioa /;
rheumatism disease of the muscles
and joints. Both result from unna-
tural deposits in the blood. Prim ar
lily there is a resem blance between
the two, but in their present sppli-
cation they are distinct.
Many reasons are advanced for the
causes Of neuralgia and rheumatism,
but it is conceded that they are in
duced by complication Of causes,
superinduced By some primary fret
cause. The majority OF those who
make speciality of these sffl ,ctions
are plain in asserting ths, inadeq uate
kidney functions are indirectly. il
not directly, the cause OF four
ffths OF neuralgia and rheumatic
sfflictions.
John Morrow. the great American
chemist. was among the first to re-
alize that diseaned kidneys are the
primal cause OF neuralgia and rheu-
matism. As q result of his investi-
cation he evolved the formula for
his great and only kidney cure-Mor-
rows kidneoids-the yellow tablets.
Morrow's Kidneoids are one Of
the greatest discoveries OF modern
times, appreciated by all classes and
conditions Of people and recognized
everywhere as a standard prepare
ton for all complications, resulting
from broken down and functionless
kidneys. Physicians were 10th at
first to ascribe such a prominen,
place to Morrow's Kidneoids, but.
when the proof Of remarkable cures
were forthcoming on every side, no
thoughtful person could restrain
their admiration for q remedy sc
helpful in cases that had long BAT.
