A FUNNY INSTRUMENT.
"a IL Called the Tubophone and Is
Made Entirely OF Pnsteboard
Wrapping Rolls.

The tubophone is q musical instru-
ment very much like an exylophone.
The latter, as you know, consists OF
n number OF bars of wood or metal
of different sizes, each of which gives
its own peculiar note when il is
struck.
The tubophone is easier to con
struct. All you need to make one il
a number of stiff pasteboard tubes
each as are used for mailing some IL
Illustrated periodicals. If you cannot
buy the tubes at the stationer's il is
an easy matter to make them by
bending wet pasteboard about a
round stick and gluing it together.
You will want at least eight tubes.
The diameter of all should be the
same and the lengths should be Is,
16, 14A, 131s, IL, 1914, 9k and .
inches, Having cut the tubes TO
these lengths you will find, on hold
ing them in turn lightly by the mid
die and striking them with your fin
ger that the shortest tube gives q
hollow sound which is just an octave
INK Alhh lhC ohhiih kANNh ~ AAN
longest tube and that the others give
the intermediate notes OF the major
scale That is If you call the longest
tube c Though it may not be in tune
with c on your piano. the others will
be ID, T., +, G., A, h, and c the octave
Of c. Or you may call them do, re,
mi, fa, sol, la, ST and mark them
either with these names or the let
tiers. Lay the tubes in order on the
table and fasten them together with
.wo cords (of silk, II possible), in the
following manner:
Tie one end of each cord together,
put the longest tube between the
cords close 10 the knot and tie the
cords together again on the other
side Of the tube. Then make another
knot half inch further along the
cords before you tie in the second
tube. The idea is to have two knots

mental, and must have been built TO
balance the conservatory and office on
the opposite side.
When, as you traverse this corridor,
you get nearly in sight OF the double
stairway which leads to the east room,
some OF the paintings that used TO
hang in the suite OF parlors become Wis
ible. Portraits OF Mrs. Polk and Mrs.
Tyler face each other in the costumes
of their respective eras. Next, is the
fine full length portrait OF Mrs. Har-
rison. Opposite is the new portrait
Of Mrs. Roosevelt, painted by French
artist, whose name is in big letters on
the massive gold frame. The portrait
does not fatter the present First Lady,
but is fairly good. The pose is easy and
graceful. She is seated on a bench in
the rear of the white house, and the
beautiful Ionic columns which support
the portico at the back OF the house
form an effective background.
Then you mount the steps, enter the
improved" east room, and especially
miss the full length portraits OF George
Washington. Martha Washington and
Abraham Lincoln that most appropri-
} ately hung there for the public TO see.
The old room is done up in white and
old gold. The elegant cut glass chan
deliers, bought for Nellie Grants we'd
ding, are the only things that look
natural about it. Some large gilt can
delabra have been added and a gilded
grand piano.

The entrances that admitted the

quest of Mrs. Cleveland, because some

'nred such absurd stories about Ruth
when she was a baby. A fine view Of

and a little cord between each two
tubes TO keep them well apart. This
is for the middle cord or cords. For
those at the ends OF the tubes one
knot between each two tubes will
suffice. In the same way fasten two
wooden rods, which are To serve as
handles, TO the longest and shortest
tubes or better tie the rods i'm at
once when you put the tubes to-
gether. Now your tubophone is COM
plete. For hammer nothing can be
better than cork stick ON the end
OF n knitting needle or n light rod.
The instrument may be held with one
hand and played with the other. but
Il is better 20 fasten the end rods TO
the backs of two chairs SO that the
whole apparatus is horizontal and
YOU can play with both hands II you
please.
The sound made by a paper tube
does not seem very musical, but a
tune played rapidly ON a number OF
tubes has very good effect. The
eight tube instrument will do for a
number OF simple tunes, but you can
increase It's range by adding n few
tubes at ench end. The shortest OF
the eight tubes Is half as long as
the longest and gives the octave Of
the note OF the longest. So the next
noted, the octave of y. requires
tube eight inches long (half the
length OF the next TO the longest)
The next would be sic, the next
6M and so on.
To extend the series az the other
end we need ubes Of 10. 2ih inches
and so on.
Again. 1877 inch tube inserted
between II and gives r sharp and a
1919 inch tube between A and II gives
II nat. The addition OF these will
enable you 60 play in two more keys
60 and ~ and TO play tunes with
soma accidcntals."-- Brooklyn Eagle.

America, 10 found at Washington, uil-
der the name of the Smithsonian In
stitution, an establishment for the i'm
crease and diffusion OF knowledge
among men,.
This bequest was contingent upon
the death Of Smithson's nephew, Hem
nv James Hungerford The young man
died in 1885, and the will, as il affected
the United states, became operative.
Congress accepted the trust, and the
entire fortune in British sovereigns
was deposited in the Philadelphia mint.
April, 1916, congress passed an act
to carry into effect the provisions OF
Smithson's will, and after much dis
cussion itself appropriated money TO
erect the castellated building now
known as the Smithsonian institution.
II has kept its place among the archi-
tecturaI beauties of Washington dur
ing the rapid growth Of the capital.
The building was modelled after the
favorite country seat OF the old earls
Of Northumberland
THE founder OF the institution,
James smithson, was tire natural son
81 the third duke Of Northumberland
and Of Elizabeth M0cie. niece OF the
duke Of Somerset. Mr.. Smithson did
not take his fathers name until he had
reached manhood. lie was known for
wears as James Lewis Macie. He was
n pradnte OF the Oxford university,
where he took an honorary degree He
devoted himself to scientific pursuits.
Denied legitimate name in his youth,
by his act Of generosity toward the
United states he has given the family
name Of the earls Of Northumberland
