WOOD THAT EMITs SWEET TONES
south American Vegetable Growth
Which il Quite Musical.

south American Vegetable Growth
which is Quite Musical.
A Chicagoan recently returned from
a protracted visit to South America
relates that the Indians in Ecuador,
Peru and Bolivia make an excellent
musical instrument out Of the wood
of the hormaguilla, tree that grows
abundantly in those countries. The
instrument is on the principle of the
we'll known xylophone, only that un-
derneath each piece they construct a
sounding box out of the same wood,
varying in size to the note to be aug
mented and sustained. Some of these
instruments are mounted on stands
and have as many as forty-fve tones.
These large instruments are played by
four and five operators. The tones
are quite unlike those of the xylo-
phone, as they are not short and
sharp, but are sustained by the sound
ing boxes, so that at short distance
they give the impression more of an
organ than even piano. Expert OPP
orators play opera pieces and the latest
Music upon the large instruments
with most remarkable effect This
instrument is said to be very old
one, tradition dating it back to the
days of the Incas, being one of the
few remaining evidences of the old
prehistoric civilizations. A party of
Peruvians lately travelled through
Mexico with one of these large instru-
ments and created quite sensation
among the music loving Mexicans.

RENNEs, France The expected has
happened. Dreyfus has been con-
demned, but though a majority of
those in the court room fully expected
the verdict, they were completely
stupefied when it was given, and the
silence which prevailed in the room
and the way men turned pale and
caught their breath was more impress
i've than any other manifestation
could have been.
Maitre Demange sank back in his
chair and tears trickled down his
cheeks, and Maitre Labor turned
white as a sheet, while all around the
court men looked at each other in ST.
lence. Positively the only sound to
be heard was the rustling of papers
from the reporters benches, as each
press representative tried to be first to
send the news. AS the audience left
the court room fully ten or fifteen
men were crying openly and the ma
jority of those present walked quietly
down the street for more than block
without speaking a word 1t was like
funeral procession.
Meanwhile a tragedy was being en-
acted in the little room off the court
room where Dreyfus listened to the
reading of the verdict. He had been
told the result by mis- lawyers and had
wept bitterly, but when in the pres
ence of the officials of the courtmar-
tial he listened impassively to the
sentence.
His wife, who was waiting in torture
and suspense at her house, bore the
news bravely, and when visiting her
husband showed the on-lookers who
were in the street no sign of her suf-
fering as she walked from her carriage
TO the prison.

at the finding of the court. The pris.

An Extraordinary Well.

The most extraordinary we'll in the
world is that near Ambrizette, in South
Africa. This we'll is in the trunk of a
large baobab tree, the tree having
the appearance of having split itself
through the two large branches. This
separation has providentially formed a
hole about eight feet deepin the trunk,
and this hole fills with water during
the rainy season, and thus provides
refreshment for the carriers of that
drought-visited land. during the dry
season. Owing to some peculiar char
acteristics of the wood, the water re-
mains always pure and sweet.
