Fate Of Jericho.
We have been hearing a good deal
about the walls Of Jericho lately, and.
therefore, Il is curious that we should
have an actual example Of the power
Of a trumpet.blast occurring in Europe
today.
A short time ago, at Leipsic, the
conductor Of a brass band used 10
train his musicians In his garden,
which was bounded by the old walls
Of the city.
One day, when they were practiclnG
a grand march they came to a passage
In which all the trumpets had TO blow
fortissimo, and, as they gave one final
blast all together, they were aston
ished TO see the old wall suddenly
crumble and topple over into the
fields outside.
Happily, the only result was thai
the cows In the meadows were fright
ened, but Il is evident that the walls
OF Leipsic are even more unstable
than we're the walls Of Jericho
