Ancient Greek Music.

We have q fair idea, theoretically at
least, what was Greek music, but 10
practical knowledge. Some fragments
of written music have been found, nota-
bly, a hymn supposedly of the year $50
A. D. In The Forum J. Gennadius tells
of the more reoent discovery made among
the ruins Of the treasury of the Atheni-
ans, due to French explorations:
The musical notation Oh all these in
scriptions is expressed by the letters of
the Greek alphabet, which, when mark
ed upright, inverted or tilted forward,
over the syllables of the text, indicate
the various notes. Two sets of such mu-
sical symbols were in use with the
Greeks-the one was vocal and is en-
ployed in the first, the other instru-
mental and figures in the second, of the
two hymns to Apollo. AS, however, the
instrumental accompaniment would
hardly have been noted at the sacrifice
of the song itself we must infer that not
only the voices sang i'll unison, but that,
in this instance ut least, instruments
and voices were in unison. The hymn
discovered and deciphered by the de-
scendapts of the invaders, whose discom.
future it celebrated, was, for the first
time after lapse of nearly ~ centuries,
again sung on March 81, 1894, before the
king of the Hellenes, at Athens, where
il had been originally composed.

he had he carried in his vest pocket,

next approached the outer door of the

opened, and before one hour had pass.

had his hands in the treasure of the
bank, much to the amazement of the
directors of the bank and to the in
tense disgust of Chubb, man of
influence and wealth. He took his
defeat gamely, however, and soon set
work to improve his locks. This he
did by taking Hobbs into his employ
as an adviser. For the time, however,
think the Bank of England put
American locks on their safes, for ev-
erybody recognized the fact that
Chubb was no more a match for Hobbs
than Sayers for Heenan.

On February 5 the Filipinos began

There were three days hard fight.
ing, and then on February s the wal
department gave out the following
bulletin
General Otis cables: "Situation rap.
idly improving. Army disintegrated,
and natives returning to villages"
There were two months of hard
fighting, interspersed with occasional
announcements that the war was about
over.
Then on May 7 Secretary Alger said
that he was blocking for the surrender
of the Fllipinos daily" And on May
8 the war department put this upon its
bulletin board:
General Otis cables: "Signs of in
surgent weakness more apparent dali

At intervals during the next Is days
similar bulletins-"Aspect of affairs
favorable" "Insurgents daily disin-
tegrating," ETC., etc.-were posted.
Then on May 26, through the CEN
sorship at Manila, came this dispatch
by Associated Press.
MANILA, May 26.-The events of
the week have emphasized the need of
a larger army here, without which, ac-
cording to the best authorities at Ma
nila, it would be attempting the impos-
sible to expect to establish American
supremacy in the Philippine islands.
Two days later the official censor at
Manila let the Associated Press cores
pondent send another beam of light
into the Philippines situation:
MANILA, May 2S.-The rebellion
seems to be taking a new lease of life
as the rainy season approaches. The
forces of Generals Luna and ,Mascardo,
which retreated, have returned in force
to their old trenches. Opposite our
lines protecting Manila OH the south
the Filipinos have three rows OF
trenches.
And where are we fighting today?
Why almost within sight and sound
of Manila.
