PIANO OF MUSICAL STONES.
After Years of Search NJ. Bau Ire Col
lected the FIints.

After Years of Search NJ. Bau Ire Col
lecte1 the FIints.
II was n work Of years, says ILLUS
tration, for NJ. Baudre to make the col.
lection Of fiints which constitute his
geological piano. The stones do not
belong to the class of resonant rocks
known as ''phonolytes," such as are
found In Auvergne, not far from Mont.
Dore. but are flints collected by VI.
Baudre with Infinite toll and search,
each giving when struck true musical
note.
BY accident, while taking a country
walk one day he picked up flint aud,
CHANGING to strike 1t, heard faint note
respond to the blow, The idea took
hold of him to gather, If possible,
enough fllnts to form a complete chro-
matte scale. Difficulties In the search
for these stones only increased his ar.
dor. For more than thirty years he
pursued the quest, making II the prin.
cipal aim of his life TO form out of a
collection of fiints the Instrument he
called the geological piano."
From the neighborhood of the little
village of the department of L'Indre
where he lived and first met with the
singing flint, he extended his search far
and wide. Only once In a while would
he hit on the ideal flint which uttered
true note with generous vibration
That was finding the precious stone
which repaid him for his thousand and
one disappolntments, his toilsome wan,
derlngs, his dlllgent search In stony
places.
After many years he had at length
got together the full scale in flint notes
and numerous examples of each, with
the exception of one. He had been So
far unsuccessful In putting his hand
on the first do" Perhaps It did moi
exist In nature. He gave up hope that
he could meet with 1t In France. He
would try Canada. But the new world
showed no trace of the initial note OF
the octave, and NJ. Baudre returned to
his native land resigned to the notion
that the chase must be abandoned in
his old age. Fortune once again smiled
and the stone of which he despaired
suddenly appeared, as he was walking
In Berry.
Advanced In years, he now passes his
leisure in playing, as he does with skill
on this curious piano.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
MARION COUNTY cRops.

WdFm hath NeeGeo, OtnefWiee tne Out
look Is Very Favorable.
Crops in Marion county are in good
condition as general thing, and there
is nothing yet to discourage the farmer.
1t would be better for everything, how
ever, should there BE- 8 heavy, warm
rain. which would have two-iOld ben

snow out Of the Cascades, thus insur-
ing warm spring weather, which IL is
proverbial cannot be had until Table
Rock and the lower ridges Of the noun
tains are bare Of their white coats.
Fruit is coming on in coed shape, the
load Of blossoms indicating plentiful
crop, but it is too early to feel safe yet.
The weather most dangerous to fruit in
this country is that which brings the
cold, beating. sIeety rains late in April,
when the pollen is in the blossom, to
be washed cut by thoee rains, leaving
the blossom liieless for fruitmaking
purposes. There is always q good crop
Of fruit when that class Of rains comes
before the blossoming is far advanced
or when the warm spring arrives with
out much rain at all.
The hop crop is at that point where
there is merely speculation as to the re-
suits. As usual, much is heard Of mis-
sing hills. damaged vines, and heavy
shortage in prospect for this year, but
past experience has shown that in many
years when similar predictions we're
made, the yield turned out reasonably
good.
