also used and there are a number Of these
ancient instruments in the museum.
\ primitive form of dance rattle still
used by the Yaqu Indians of Sonora. Mex
leo. is made of butterfly coooons, which are
DIVIDED into halves and sewed together al
one end with a double cord. Each half of
the cocoons contains a grain or pebble
They are attached 10 a long cord, which
Is wound around the leg of the dancer.
The only Instruments Of metal in The
museum collection of Mexican antidui-
tee are the bronze bells. These appear to
have been In general use by. the Next
cans before the Spanish conquest. and they
are often found figured in the picture writ
lngs representing the various objects
which the Aztecs used to pay as a TIL
butte to their soyereigns.
Whistles We're used in Mexico Central
and South America. The whistling me-
chanism in all is Identical with that of
the modern tiageolet. and the only dis
unctlon that can he made between them
IS Dy CHASING the instruments which only
emit one sound or note as whistles ard
those which have one or more finger holes
as hageolets. The smaller Instruments are
mostly grotesque carcatures of the tu-
man face or figure. or of animals or birds
me larger instruments are more like The
modern flageolets. A figure is shown carved
in marble. Tt has six round holes the
lower end being in imitation of an alli-
gators head. It is Prof Wilson's opln-
ion that the antiquity of the instrument
may not be very great. The fact Of it's
having six finger holes, he thinks, rug
gests European contact as i'm all other
specimens of this class from the western
hemisphere the usual number appears to
have been four holes
Prehistoric musical instruments made
of wood are extremely rare. A material
which decays so easily cannot resist the
influences Of time, except under favorable
conditions. The wooden objects in the
National Museum classed as prehistoric
were all obtained from burial places,
either in caves or graves.
Musical instruments of percussion ere
wanting in the museum collection of pre-
historic objects from Costa Rica, neither
drums nor rattles being represented.
There is no reason to suppose, however,
that none existed. Their immediate neigh
bors to the south have furnished numer-
Gus examples of both drum and rattle
The most important proof of prehistoric
musical instruments in the museum in
point of numbers is that from Chirijgui,
embracing drums, rattles, and whistles of
pottery and "a number of bronze bells.
Many of these have been figured by Prof
Holmes in his paper on ancient Art in tn
Province of Chirigui."

Drums, RattIes and shells.
From the Washlngton Star.

Prof Wilson of the National Museum, In
his unpublished work on prehistoric Art"
has a most interesting chapter devoted to
musical instruments in use by the aborig-
ines of this country. Prof. w. II. Holmes
says in a published treatise on Pottery of
the Ancient Pueblos' that the ancient peo-
pie had not devoted their ceramic art to
trivial uses there are no toys, no rattles,
and no grotesque figures
Prof Wilson says that this remark
would seem to apply equally as well 10 the
cliff jewellers, but that musical Instruments
made of other materials were not unknown
to these people is evidenced by the fact
that among the objects mentioned as COM
ing from the cliff ruins of the Mesa Verda,
in Southwestern Colorado, are fragments
of a wooden flute and small bone, pierre
ed with lateral hole, and possibly used
as a whistle. The author is of the opin-
ion that a people with an art culture so
high and developed i'm other directions
might easily have invented musical instru-
meuts.
Ornaments and musical instruments en-
ployed in dances and religious ceremonies
do not differ much among the Pueblo In
dians. The principal ones are the drum,
rattles made from gourds, notched sticks,
a kind of flute. and a turtle-shel rattle.
Prof. Wilson does not claim that they are
prehistoric, although some of the forms
are undoubtedly ancient
Prot Wilson states that music evidently
occupied a prominent place in the arts of
the ancient MeXicans. for il is mentioned
by the early Spanish writer's in connection
with war, religious ceremonies, and festh-
tiles of various kinds. The Instruments de
scribed or mentioned were drums TIM
brels, flutes, horns, trumpets, and rattles.
According to ClaVgero they had 10 string
ed instruments. There is no representa- tive
of the ancient Mexican drum in the ma
tioral museum. II is described, however.

was followed, leaving at each end a solid
piece about three or four inches in thick
ness and at its upper side kind of sound
ing-board about quarter of an inch in
thickness. In this Were made three incls-
ions, two running parallel some distance
lengthwise of the drum, and third run
ming across from one OF these to the other
just in the center. Rv this means two vi
brating tongues of wood were obtained
which, when beaten with a stick. nro-
duced sounds as clsnrly delired as those of
kettle drums of the present day.

occupied an important place In the cere-
monies of the ancient Mexicans. In CON

The NIaniln Cockpit.


Manila's principal occupation Is general
devilishness. The chief diversion is the
cockpit. The pit is as big as a circus.
Everything being relative, it's size may
best be judged by approximation The
Havanese Valla de Gallos holds 1850 peo-
pie. That of Manila holds 1900. The con-
tests succeed each other at the rate of
a hundred per fiesta. Some last a whole
second, some ten minutes. The rules are
not intricate but the birds are very smart.
The smallest are the gamest. Occasion
ally they display thrust, a feint and a
fierce, which are quite sale d'armes. The
matches are various There is that which
is known as Al cotejo, and which Is in ac-
cordance with the length of the spur.
There is AL peso, by weight. There is
also Tapados. without prellminaries, and
De cuchilla. with artificial spurs AS a
spectacle the function is not elevating. "A
medium for the exchange of coin it is
less monotonous than fan-tan and quicker
than monte. 1--WE should neither blame
nor approve" some one somewhere sage

them by way of observation, 1t may be
noted that considered as an annexable in
stitution, the Manila cockpit Is one for
which this country could not go further
with any chance of faring worse.
