from an American flute except that the
arrangement of the holes is based on
japanese ideas.
The koto is another elaborate instru-
ment, which comes into use on state oc-
caSlonS. and which the American sailors
will undoubtedly have chance to hear.
The japanese Piano.
The koto is really in embryo the Japa-
nese piano. 1t is the nearest approach
the orient boasts to that most familiar of
all American musical instruments. 1t is
really more like the harpischord. which
is first cousin to the piano and was really
its forerunner, only instead of being fiat
like the harpischord it is round.
The koto is about six fe.- long and
along its surface are arranged frets sim
liar to those on a violin. Strings are
stretched from one to the other of these
and the music that results sounds some
thing like that Of a harp.
All of these instruments represent the
finest kind of workmanship, for the Jap
is master craftsman in the handling OF
wood and of ivory. The finish is simply
beautiful. and it takes the receipts of
many a concert to let tie fair samisen
player raise enough money to buy the
kind of instrument she Graves.

The celebration of the Japanese No"

these compositions.
Japan is very proud of its history. and
the ancient nobility. The great plays of
the country are based on experiences
credited to the mighty ancestors of the
noble families surviving till today.
In order that the fame Of his dead
might be known to the world. the wealthy
noble commissioned some native dramatist
to tell their deeds in a play. and a COM
poser of music was further put TO the
task of furnishing appropriate must

of notable events in the past of Japan.
Perhaps the historical significance will

The tsuzumi is another form of drum,

Similarly the music is prepared for the
pleasure of the company at the Japanese

which, when brightest. pours out 1900
times as much light as when faintest.
and whose wonderful variations have
continually REQUIRED through the past
centuries, with no signs of relaxation?
We cannot say with certainty, but 1t
seems probable that the hot central ball
of the star is surrounded by a dense
envelope of gas, and that 1t is a violent
disturbance, occurring periodically in
this central mass, which upheaves the
brighter and hotter material and ena-
bles its light to pour out. A similar
upheaval of the hot surface is seen to
occur on our own sun when sun spots
are most numerous at the constant inter-
val of eleven years.

1t may even be seen with the naked eye
