RELIGIOUS STRENGTH in UNION

The most remarkable feature Of the present religious
crusade in Los Angeles is its substantial backing by
many churches Of different denominations. Sects that
hitherto manifested the spirit Of rivalry in greater
degree are drawn together by the magnetism
of great religious effort sectaranism. in fact is en-
tirey eliminated All the denominations represented,
far as this movement is concerned. have to-
gether the original of Christianity in the land
of the Jordan where the simple Christian religion
was taught
This unity Of religious effort If it could reach
permanent unihcation of all Christian denominations
would spike of the most effective guns of modern
agnostcism. The Christian is met at every turn
of the religious argument with a reference to the
schisms in the general Christian church There are
nearly of primary denominations of the church
in the United States, with subdivisions of nearly one
hundred and fifty. In the leading denominations for in
stance the Methodsts credited in official statistics
with II sects Baptsts Is; Presbyerians 12 and
The cohesion now manifested among the local con.
gregaons in the revival work which has just been
undertaken gives inklng of possibilities for the
greater Christian church of the future solidhed in sim
gle body. In the minds of foremost thinkers this
subject the belief has been growing steadily in recent
years that the sodity Of the Christian churchs founda
ton depends upon the close union of all its defenders
Opponents of the church training heavy artillery

made breaches, necessitating certain patchwork
of church dogmas. And against this constantly grow
ing danger the church militant is fighting at obvious
disadvantage divided in of secs that often
quarreling among themselves.
The belief has been general among orthodox Jews
for nineteen hundred years that the chosen people"
will be gathered ultimately at their starting point in
Palestine and thoughtful Christians long have hoped
that the Christian church might again return to the
unit at which it started Possibly such temporary CO.
hesion as We now witness in Los Angeles may lead
eventually the union of all the denominations under
the primitive banner of Jesus of Nazareth.

SCHOOL STUDY OF AGRICULTURE

Bills pending in branches of the legislature
harmonious in character providing for teaching
study, including the elements of agriculture in the
schools of California" The bills do not make
such study mandatory. They simply make it permiss
BILE in any county that may wish to introduce it.
In support of this proposition the fact is noted that
40 per of the population of the depends
various forms of agriculture for livelihood There
only two institutions in the state, however in which
the rudiments of agricultural training obtain
abe-namely, the state university and the California
polytechnic school at San Luis Obispo
Several of the older states have recognized the i'm
portance of agricultural instruction in the common
schools New York, for example introduced the feature
more than ten years ago. and the bills pending
in the California legislature, here alluded to, mod
eled partly the plan that has proved successful in
New York. The southern states have been especially
progressive in this direction the legislatures of Vr
ginia Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina Ala
bama, Georgia and Louisiana having each put elemen
arithmetic Minnesota, Nebraska Wisconsin and Ala
bama have agricultural high schools and in Missouri
student teachers at the state normal schools are re-
quired to take full years in agriculture That
state also has agricultural college adjunct of
the state university
California is far in the rear of many states in this
respect Notwithstanding its foremost place in many
branches of agriculture The expansion of industries in
this line is going on rapidly, and the importance of
scientific cultivation is becoming more apparent with
each succeeding year
Practical education the kind whereby the pupil may
be best equipped to comfortable livelihood in
after years is the urgent need in this twentieth cen
tury And since 40 per of the people of California
are dependent agriculture the wisdom of such legisla
tion proposed must be apparent to every ct
zen of the state.

IDEAL LAND OF THE ORANGE

The disaster to Forida's orange industry leaves
further doubt that Southern California the only
tion of the United States especially adapted to the
growth of oranges. That conclusion became general
when the sweep of cold weather wrought general
years ago. has strengthened by partial failures
of the in the state two three occasions since
then This last disaster, however, shows that the
Florida orange industry is too precarous justify the
risk of attempting production any scale that would
challenge Southern California for supremacy.
During the twenty twenty-five years since the
California orange became a commercial factor in the
east the crop has suffered from cold weather
extent approaching the Florida disasters
of recent years In years considerable fruit
been damaged by frost particularly in groves unfavo
ably situated but has than relatively small
proportion of the crop been lost There has been
year since the industry in this section reached the
commercial stage when the crop failed to be
tive whole. And that cannot be said of any other
large agricultural crop in any section of the United
States.
Southern California is in all respects ideal locality
for the citrus fruit industry Nearly the whole orange
output of this section is grown three hundred miles
north of the middle line in Foridas orange belt. Yet
within several degrees of the mark reported in Florida
But proper temperature is not the only element
necessary to in orange culture Abundant
shine dry atmosphere, freedom from excessive fogs
absence of high winds and beating rains leading
features which go TO make Southern California the ideal
American land of the orange

self, an organ grinder or music MASTER
The pneumatic organ was already III
vogue in the fourth century and known
in detail by ST. Augustin. who gives
clear description of it in his commen-
tarium of the fifty-sixth psalm. A simi-
lar organ was sent to Pepin, King Oh
France, by the emperor of Constan-
tinople A. D. 757. A priest of Venice
Italy, named George, carried along
with nm to the west the hydrauiic
organ Porphyre Optacius, who hved
in the fourth century, speaks of the
hydraulic organ, but the name ltseli
suggests that it was moved by some
waterpower.
Elphegue, abbott of Westminster
England, had made to order the largest
organ quoted in the musical annals ol
the Middle Ages (tenth century,, which
is not to be compared with the one ex-
hibited and played at the exhibition OF
st. Louis. In the organ of today are
found all the wind instruments of old
and modern times, and, according TO
Felix Clement, great French ihu-
sician, it is the only one worthy of asso-
ciating its majestic voice with the
pomp of divine worship and contribu-
ting to the splendor of it's ceremonies
An Idea for Organ Builders
Some thirty years ago l came across
an old grind organ in a garret' There
was no sign of any pipe inside, put
after close examination 1t was founu
that the pipes were made horizontally
in the bottom of the box, which mad
double floor. This might suggest to the
organmakers of today the idea of max
ing the largest wooden pipes the same
way double floor with partitions OF
the side and length of desired pipes
can be easily set apart for that pur-
pose in any building where the organ
is to be placed permanently. from
sixteen feet Bourbon or Montre might
easily be developed to thirty-two, and
even to sixty-four
In the organs of today we tnd some
stops whose pipes are not tuned upon
the diapason of the ground stops they
give the tierce, the quartz or even the
quinte of these last ones when played
together. The result Of this combina-
tion is called pleln jeu or jeu de mix
ture The tunes OF these apparent dis
cordant stops are mingled with the
other ones in such a manner as to seem
the same diapason. leaving OFF their
original dissonanee but certain sharp
whistling This contributes to enhance

|FIRST OF THE WIND INSTRUMENTS
? Ceunir7ck, Chaplain Guardian Angel

the effect of the ground stops with
some character of rusticity not un-
pleasant to the ear The whole may be
compared with the concomitant tunes
heard in the bells. of which mention
was made in last Sundays Herald.
Primitively the stop called the
nightingale, and a part of the jeu de
mixture, was nothing but a whistle
blown through a glass filled with water.
Unluckily the water drying out, It
happened very often that the bird
made nothing but continual Shrek
ing tune. The nightingale is left out
of the organ by the modern organ
makers, who seem to be of more
practical turn of mind than their pre-
decessors.
There is an old musical instrument
called jewsharp which may be con-
sidered as the hyphen between the
bells and the string Instruments. 1t is
composed of a ring having the shape
of an old corkscrew handle and a mar
row steel blade The harp is placed
horizontally against the mouth, whose
concavity modulates the sound when
the blade is struck by the thumb. 1t
has nothing in common with the Gym
bal or any string in it's mode of being
caused to vibrate. Although a very
imperfect contrivance, that jewsharp
has suggested the idea OF the beautiful
music boxes of today.

The wind or pneumatic musical in
strument is as old as the animal crea-
tion. The principle of it is found in the
respiration organ of the animals; the
lungs furnishing the wind, the upper
part of the larynx (windpipe) giving
the sound and the cavity of the mouth
producing the nature of the tune. The
intensity and the tune of the voice is
not always in direct proportion with the
size of the animal. Lions, donkeys and
bullfrogs roar and croak louder than
horses and bulls, and the nightingale
has a more powerful voice than the
blackbird or the magpie 1t is the same
among men; the tallest people have not
always the strongest or the lowest
voices. All depends on the develop
ment of the three parts which contri
butte to produce the voice. Practice
and corporal exercise contribute much
to develop the organs of the voice.
Likewise certain artificial appliances
increase to a great extent the power of
the voice, like porte-voix, tunnels sea-
conchs or marine shells, The night
watch upon city towers and the pilot
upon the ocean applies the sambuca 10
his mouth i'm order to carry the sound
of his voice to a greater distance. Now
adays the steam engineer uses the
steam whistle, with still greater effect
and economy Of his natural voice.
Everybody knows how sound is aug
mented i'm caves, canyons and tunnels,
and boys who pass through Third street
tunnel give a sufficient proof of it,
On the contrary sound is lessened in
buildings filled with flags curtains and
carpets. Even cobwebs and the enor
nous hats of the ladies check a great
deal the voice of the singing artist or
the speaking orator. So that a church,
stage or auditorium may have been
built according to all the rules of ac-
coustics and yet not answer to their
requirements.
Some fifty years ago famous band
of singers called Montagnards came 10
give a concert in the college where l
was a student (in Flanders) Little
boys not more than six years old were
found among them. and sang with
wonderful perfection. There was r9
apparent beating of the time, or meas
ure. neither signal TO begin. The rea-
son Of their great success seemed to be
found in certain precautions taken by

alone upon the stage, purling and
listening against the wall, to find out
the diapason of the building, that is
it's predominant tune Gas every room
has one), and selected his music
pieces in tune with that diapason. The
pieces finished always with a decreS-
cendo, similar to that of a big bell,
which was enhanced by the sweet dy
ing tunes of a contraltp voice.
In some old churches earthen pots are
fixed in the ceiling with the opening
downward, for the purpose of improv-
ing the acoustic; in other buildings
sometimes threads have been spanned
across in the upper part, with the OBJ
ject of diminishing the resounding.
First Wind instruments
To say where and by whom the first
artificial wind instrument was mads
would be difficult; but as we see boys
nowadays making whistles out of tic
bark of a tree, oatstalks, reedstalks
etc, and that there have been boys
since many centuries, we may say that
the horn, flute, hageolet and similar
primitive musical contrivances are very
old,
Some patriarchal shepherd, finding
that a cowhorn was hollow, 1t was only
but natural to try to blow through it,
Another, finding that bone of a lamb
is also hollow. must have tried to dc
the same.
Pan is said to have invented a musi-
cal wind instrument that bears stu
his name, viz; The flute of Pan II
was made first of seven reeds of diff
ferent lengths joined together, side by
side, open at the upper end, and blown
with the mouth.
Some other country lad adapted the
flagolet, made of reed or bone, to bag
made Of skin, and created the bag
pipe, which is still very common in
Scotland, Italy and Tyrol. The bag
first filled with wind. then pressed un-
der the arm supplants the blowing with
the mouth, at distance, and has natur-
ally suggested the idea of the first
pipe-organ and all other musical in
struments furnished with bellows. such
as grind-organs. cook organs reed or
gans, pianolas, etc.
