ton of the orchestra, in operas hav-
ing other locales, have not been infre-
Quent, but the results have not always
been happy.
Some years ago, Muestal, the Lon
don maker of musical instruments,
conceived an idea for an orchestral
instrument that would produce an eX-
quisite bell tone, of soft permeat1ng
quality and adaptable for use in large
orchestras. This instrument he nam
ed the celeste. 1t consists of a series
of thin steel tubes in two cctaves of
the chromatic scale, tuned to normal
pitch, with an action similar to the
piano, played by a keyboard. Musi-
clans like Karl Muck and Walter Dam
rosch praise its silvery tones and pur-
ity of intonation. The principle of its
construction makes it an instrument
susceptible of modification of tone by
difference of touch.
The Muestal celeste was first used
at the Royal Albert hall, in London,
some four years ago in the concerts
given there by Henry Wood, in a rem
dition of Tschaikowsky's "Casse Vols
cite" (The Nut Cracker), suite Of
six characteristic dances of early
France. Tschaikowsky wrote the
fourth movement of this dance suite
purposely to introduce the instrument.
Puccini learned of the new instru-
ment and was alive to its value in
the score for Madam Butterfly" He
Immediately sent to London and stud
led its latitude and scope, with the
result that much of the significance
of the Japanese music in his new
opera is due to this addition to the
modern orchestra. There are but two
of the instruments in this country.
One. used by Walter Damrosch with
his symphony orchestra and the one
imported by Mr.. Henry w. Savge for
his production of Puccini's three-act
Japanese grand opera, Madam But

The Celeste in MADAM Butterfly js
the Very Newest Orchestral
Instrument.
The many weird and fascinating or
chestral effects obtained by Puccini
in his score of Madam Butterfly" is
exciting curious comment among
American music lovers that have
heard the opera which Henry w. Saw
age is to bring to this city on We'd
nesday night, FeFb 20 at the Metropoli-
tan theatre. The Italian composer is
credited with results in this MASTER
piece that are vastly different from
any yet obtained in the older operas
with which the public is more famil-
lar. In large sections of the score
Puccini has endeavored to effect a Jap
anese tone color. To accomplish this
he has been compelled to resort to
novel musical instruments, the most
unusual of which is the widely talked
about celeste. =
The idea of the celeste is based on
the gong, which plays so important
part in all Japanese music. Whether
In Its common every day domestic use
or in the impressive Buddhist pro-
cessional ceremonies, whether in the
marriage rite or in the musical ac-
compartment of the native drama, the
sonorous boom of the gong is always
heard in the land of Nippon.
To suggest this native musical effect
has been the aim of many composers
who have sought the land of the Mix
ado as locale for both comic and
grand opera music. Attempts to uti-
lie its tone value in the instrumental

SETTLERS LOOKING TR|S WAY
Inquiries Received Indicate That the
Movement This Year Will Be
the Largest in Years.

The season is fast approaching
when the railroads will devote a
large part of their equipment to car
rying colonists settlers and home.
seekers to the northwest. From all
indications the movements of these
classes of travel should be the best in
years, despite the fact that mislead-
ing reports of conditions in this ter
ritory might keep some prospective
settlers from coming.
The colonist rates go into effect
March /, which is two weeks later
than last year. They will continue
in effect until April 20. The rate from
St. Paul to North Pacific coast points
will be s25, and $34.S5 to California
points, with proportional rates to in
termediate points.
Rates Are Low.
Settlers rates to Minnesota, North
and South Dakota and Canadian North
west points also go in effect next
month, and will be in effect every
Tuesday, including April. The three
northern lines have made exceedingly
liberal rates from St. Paul, some of
them being less than half fare. From
points below St. Paul the local rates
will apply.
Homeseekers' rates in Minnesota,
North Dakota and Canadian Northwest
points will be in effect the first and
third Tuesdays of March and April.
The basis is on one fare plus 81 for
the round trip. The rate to the ter
ritory mentioned has been out since
November. The rate to Montana went
into effect Tuesday, and will continue
in effect during the first and third
Tuesdays through April. The rates
to Oregon, Washington and British
Columbia also are in effect. to con-
tinue through April. The Montana
rates are arbitrary, being fixed SO as
to be equal to those to Denver and
points in the southwest, and in some
cases are less than one fare for the
round trip.
