An Organ 700 Years Old.

William C. Carl brought back
with him from Japan a pipe organ
of ancient make which he believes
will prove a revelation to modern
instrument builders.
The organ is 700 years old, but,
Notwithstanding this fact. embodies
practically all the Improvements
which present day builders regard as
new. The pipes are Of bamboo, and
the instrument Is In good state of
preservation. Mr.. Carl also brought
home large collection OF Japanese
music arranged in modern notation.
Previous to thirty years ago. he says,
all the native music was handed
down from one generation to another
In characters, but since the estab-
lishment Of an academy at Toxic a
great impetus has been given to all
classes OF music, and more than 500
students were in attendance at that
institution when Mr.. Carl visited 1t.

ROYAL ROWS OVER CHESS.
Stories of Monarchs Who Became In
furiated When Defeated.

II, as is reported in the papers,
King Edward Is developing an en-
thusiasm for chess, he Is only fol-
lowing In the steps of many of his
predecessors on the throne, includ-
Ing his namesake, the first Edward,
who was almost as keen a fighter
with castles and pawns as with his
knights and squires at his back on
the Scottish border.
William the Conqueror more than
once lost his temper over the game,
and on at least one occasion with Sc
rious consequences. He was play
ing with the son of the King OF
France when a dispute led to hot
words, and eliminated in William
bringing down the board so heavily
on his opponents head as to make
him unconscious. Within an hour
Williams horse put a score OF miles
between his rider and the French
court.
In one case at least chess estranged
husband and wife and cost the hus-
band dearly. Ferrand, Count OF
Flanders, was in the habit of play
ing with his countess, and was I'M
gallant enough to win almost every
game. This constant and almost in
evitable defeat so disturbed the lady
that In time she conceived a positive
hatred of her victor-to such an ex-
tent that when he was taken priso-
ner at the battle of Bouvines she re-
fused point blank to take any steps
to procure his release.
Louis XIII. of France was so in
fatuated with the game that where
ever he went he was accompanied by
his chess board and men, and inyar-
fably played 1t in his coach when he
took his drives abroad. Charles l.
found 1t so fascinating that he al
most literally played it to the foot of
the scaffold, and when once his game
was interrupted by news that the
Scots had decided to sell him to the
parliament he proceeded with his
move as unruflled as If, instead of
hearing his doom, he had received
summons to dinner. And when John
Frederick, elector of Saxony, heard
over the chess board the news that
he had been condemned to death, he
completed his move and was again

INITIATING TORTOISE SHE'LL
Only the Expert Able to Select THE
Artificial.

'All my life | have been handling
tortoise shell and limitations" said a
manufacturer, and yet the resem-
blance is often so close that l need
more than a glance to determine
whether a comb is real tortoise or
not.
THE minor distinctions that are
noted by an experienced man are al
most imperceptible to an inexperi-
enced person. who is examining the
better class of limitations. Yet in ap-
pearance, touch and smell there are
peculiarities which reveal to the ex-
pert whether the comb is of real
shell or not
Years ago the trade depended
mostly on bone or horn, with which
to initiate tortoise shell, and in horn
some fine work was done. But horn
has been getting more and more
scarce since the farmers took to rails
Ing hornless cattle and the prices
have gone up so that they are more
than double what they were ten
years ago.
Now little horn is used for this
purpose and there is variety of 9TH
er substitutes, the chief of which is
easily celluloid We can produce
in celluloid more beautiful combs
and more perfect likeness of tor
toise shell than was ever made in
horn or any other material.
Exposure to heat will not cause
celluloid comb to burn in an explo
sive burst of fire and smoke il the
material Is of the better grades now
being produced and mas been sea-
soned six months or year in the
factory.
Tortoise shell does not yield to
heat below the boiling point. Hold
comb, and If the heat of your hand
so affects the teeth that you can
bend them easily to other shapes you
have celluloid or some other mater
rial. Shell is almost as elastic as a
Damascan blade"
One of the manufacturers said
that the reason celluloid is not so
tmtiammable as formerly is that rub
Der is mixed with the guncotton and
camphor. After some years, he said,
celluloid will become brittle, while
shell one hundred years and more
old retains it's original qualities
