The notion that there can be 5000
modes. or intevailic series, in music
sounds fantastic, but as theory might
result from an application of the law
o. perturbation TO the Hindu system.
We have not time nor inclination 90
make the calculation. The Hindu ln-
teI1allic system, 20 put about all OF 10
that Is readily cOmprehens bic 20 the
Occidental mind in simple phrase, com
preheuds three octayes. Zach octave
contains the tones OF the European
diatonic scale; but each tone Is di-
vidCd into four tones, called srOOti ~
large, three If small, while the two
semi-tones, which fall, as with as, be
tween the third and fourth and seventh
and eighth intervals, are composed OF
two srOOt each. There are, therefore,
twenty-five intervals IN an octave. The
fundamental Hindu scale Is generally
supposed 90 agree with our dlatonlt
scale Of s major. and, taking this a.
standard. the fractional tones fall DOB
the following order: a 10 j, four
srO0t. 10 { sharp, three sr0Ot; &
sharp 90 ID; two sr0Ott; d 20 +, TOUR
STOOti: = 20 ! sharp, four srOO't;
sharp TO q sharp, three sroOHi; q
sharp 70 A, two SrO0i These fraction
al tones are possible only 10
the human voice and siHneeu
instruments which have no irets,
like the viols and baujos To what
extent they are used ia Hindu music
to-day We cannot say. We shall have
20 wait for Rattan Devils exposition.
There is pretty general agreement
among travellers to-day that the
tunes which they have heard could
be written down 30 modern European
notation with the exception OF certain
refaemcuts OF oruamert-ton per
laps also Of ezpression) which We
Observed iu Rattan Devils singing and
which seem 20 be common 90 al! OH
entail performers. She also made use
OF n Clissaudo. a sliding from tone 10

Of the music OF uncu.tured peoples.
our red men employ 20 frequently.
Not only iu the ethos OF the art but
also in this employment OF intervals
smaller than those 10 which We are
occu,tored there is parallelism be-
tween the music OF the Hindus and the
ancient Greeks. The simplest Illus
tration Of this may be found % the
church models Of the Middle Ages.
Conceiving the diatonic scale as two
scales Of four tones each ltetracnords,
a. thew were called, the middle tone
common 20 both, IL was possible by
beginning at different intervals to con-
.t,.uct q number Of intera.lic systems,
each differing from It's companions by
reason of the different position Of the
semitoues carry out this plan with
the twenty-five srooi OF the Hindu
scale. using or emitting some OF them
according TO circumstances lthere arc
also fve-toned and six-toned scales IN
Hindu music. and it is plain that an
enormous variety Of scales will be the
result. Something Of the Kind was done
IN ancient times in India; something
If the kind lis done to-day, but this art
does not belong TO the common people.
vyhose songs. Or. Coomaraswamy says,

sicians. though their guild Is not al

what may ne called folksong ~ India
