for in place OF the usual circular repre-
sensations, the heads Of the notes were
depicted by human faces, and 1t goes
without saying that there were 10
half, quarter or eighth notes on tie
staff.
When pointed to, each note or face
emitted a tone corresponding to its po-
sition on the staff.
Mr.. II. p. Baldwin, as conduct ,r.
made facetious speech Introducing
the remarkable instrument. He ok
planned that this "hOmOphone" had the
misfortune to come from San Francis
co on the Inflated "Colusa;" that 1t
fell overheard with the water-pipe
when the bark was stranded on the
reef near Spreckels, lille; that 1t was
saved only through the heroic efforts
of Messrs. Lowrie and Cooke, who had
charged big bill for salvage. The
first tune played was Saw My Leg on
and the last 1.-THE Old Oaken Bucket"
