transatOrs called organ in the account of Ju-
bal, but which the Old Testament revisers wisely
changed into pipe" The Peruvians had a
syrinx of fourteen pipes bound side by side, in
pairs of equal length. One series was open at
pipe sounds an octave lower than an open pipe
of equal length; therefore the Peruvian 'huayra-
puhura,' il is called, had fourteen notes
through its pipes and but seven lengths. An
interesting principle utilized in the stopped and
open diapason pipes of the organ is thus to
have been applied by the people destroyed by
the Spanish conquerors-
Another step forward toward the organ is
shown in the rude instruments of the Far East
which bring a number of pipes together and
subject them all to blast of air from the
mouth of the performer by connecting them
either with the mouthpiece direct (Nos / and
