Getting the Musical Piteh.~,

Musical pitch has a curious tendency
10 creep up. 1t Is said that Bach's mu-
sic sounds much differently now from
what 1t did when Bach wrote 1t, be-
cause the instruments are now pitched
higher. In 1882 it was found that the
pitch of high A at the Vienna Court
Opera had crept from the prescribed
435 double vibrations second to 443,
and in 1885 this number had further in
creased TO $50.
Accordingly a musical conference
was held, and resolution was taken
TO re-establish the old pitch of 435 VI
brations per second. Upon this an
nouncement the Reichsanstalt, the i'm
perial physical and technical institute
Of Germany, set up standard instru-
ments and has since tested and cor
rected many hundreds of tuning forks,
shortening them if they are too low in
pitch and thinning the arms If they
are too high.
All the military orchestras of Ger
many are pitched alike. and the Reichs-
anstadt keeps the tuning forks correct.
This solieitous care of the government
in preserving standards is one reason
why the world now goes to Germany 10

more than guess at it's dimensions.
The waves had squared its four sides
10 a great extent. but above their wash
the berg was full of hills. valleys and
ravines, and IL would have been impos-
sible to cross IL.
AS there was no way to dodge the
beEg, we put ont an ice anchor and
made fast TO drive with IL until an
opening should occur. The side on
which we were was rs straight up and
down as wall. and. though the wind

face Of the berg II | found that 1t

and look to the north for clear water.
As the great cakes of ice were weussed

pace was necessarily slow. and it was

but it was wonderfully transparent.
1t was easy to guess what had hap
pened Somewhere thousands of miles
away, where a great glacier crept down
to the sea, the tourist had set out with
the guides 10 explore, and snow or Ice
had given way under them and drop
ped them down perhaps a hundred feet.
In time the creyasse filed up solid.
and as the ice was pushed down 10 the
sea a berg was born. and the corpses
were carried away with II. One could
not say from the dress how long a time
had elapsed. We must judge from the
fact that, though we reported the case
three months later, the identity OF the
tourist has not yet been discovered.
We returned TO the bark TO report
what we had seen, and | offered 10
take ropes and axes and blasting pow
der and return and secure the dead.
The captain favored the idea, perhaps
thinking it would profit us in some
way, but circumstance stepped in to
prevent me from carrying out my
plan. AS we were getting ready the
berg began TO revolve In a slow and
stately way, and at the end of an hour
the western face had turned due
south. and such a sea was beating on
ii that no landing was possible. To
make our way over the berg we
should have needed wings. The move
ment Of the berg crowded the icefields,
and the result was the opening of a
narrow lane to the north. We were
watching and waiting for 1t. and the
bark was soon warped In and sail
made. We We're lucky enough to keep
this lane until ii led us quite out of
the floating ice and further danger,
and looking back as we sailed every
man of the crew saw the figures as
the three of us had seen them. The
spray seemed TO dash against their
frozen faces and the waves to rant
and growl like hungry wolves. but we
knew they would not be given 10 the
sea until their strange coffin had drift
ed out Of that frozen and desolated
sea into sunshine and warmth.

We had been driven below Cape
Horn hundreds of miles By a fierce
gale lasting eleven successive days and
nights, and one morning we found our
selves among the Ice and almost
wrecked aloft. The gale had blown
itself out. but the situation was one
calling for the best seamanship and
the keenest vigilance. Only steam
whalers and exploring vessels get as
far south as we found our position 10

was field ice broken from the coast of
some island, and some of the cakes
were a good twelve feet thick and al
most as hard as flint.
On the fourth day we found ourselves
driving down among six or eight great
icebergs, and the boats were proyi-
stoned and other preparations made to
leave the bark at a moments notice.
The odds would be thousand to one
that the boats would be ground to
pieces In ten minutes, but we had TO
take them. While we helplessly waited
The field struck a berg which was esti-
mated to be a solid cube measuring
about 1000 yards on every front and
towering up over hundred feet high.
There was grand crash, and the berg
