The natives in the Bucherganj dis.
trict of Bengal have been deprived of
their guns, and since then they have re-
sorted to the native bamboo in the hunt
for defensive weapons.
They hollow out the bamboo, load it
with an ounce or two of native powder
and handful of iron slugs and touch it
off with fuse in the immediate neigh.
borhood of the offending person.
Another way, as the cookery books
say, is to employ the bamboo as fork
with cobra pinned to the far end. An
application of the cobra to the Sleeping
body of an enemy is all that is neces.

eible 10 give definite idea Of Japalese
music, and to one who hears it for the
first time II M9st either repcl or strange
ly attract, for its fantastic intervals and
fractional tones demand totally new
sense of musical appreciation and call
into being new set Of musical sensa.
tions. II is as If a hitherto closed door
between sense and spirit had been sud.
denly thrown open. One feels that If
reincarnation be true, one might through
this door alone remember and recon.
stuot those vanished existences. Only
IN tho tones Of their own unguisu, a
bird which has but three notes, have
heard anything SO occult.
Japanese music is like japanese art,
which, with it's unperceiyed spirit,
sense and symbolism, its strange method
of brush handling. might seem merely
grotesquo at first, but which gradually
reveals to the initiated eye mysteries
within mysteries Of artistic form and
perception. until presently one finds
oneself encompassed by now art
world, where to'hnic Is subordinated
to feeling and whose finest effects are
obtained through the art of omission.
AS, for instance, In tho greatest paint
ings Of Fujiyama, the sacred mountain
itself is discovered to be the bare,
white, implanted silk, as if color and
line could be but the boundaries and
outer confines Of pure isolated idea So
in Japanese music. its methods are not
ours, its climaxes come in crashes of 81.
lence, in sustained and soundless pause,
the notes subordinated to silent some.
thing, an inner sense, which, while re.
straining or even REFRESHING sound, is
the very ecstasy Of musical sensation.
In vain VIC attempted to analyze this
subtle effect, to reduce it to the terms
Of our musical consciousness. 1t defed
and eluded us as spirit must always defy
aud elude sense, and we perforce con.
tented ourselves with following the
strange, rounded, isolated notes, sus-
tanning ourselves breathlessly on it's
wonderful pauses and yielding to the
Irregular cadenoed charm of the singer, ;
whose face, at first SO unremarkable,
seemed to grow of shining effulgence
