GREAT OVATION

General John J. Pershing, COM
msnder of the American Expedi-
tionary Forces that humbled tho
Huns, was greeted with wild ac-
claim when he passed through
Wilmington early this afternoon
over the p, B. & w. railroad.
General Pershing's train from
Philadelphia arrived at French
street station at los o'clock and
remained there several minutes
while Mayor Taylor made an ad-
dress of welcome and a throng
that overhowed the station gave
vent to enthusiastic cheers.
General Pershing acknowledged
the ovation from loyal Delawar-
cans and made brief speech.
He was presented with a bou-
quet of SO roses in honor of his
birthday tomorrow.
From one end of Wilmington
to the other, as his train passed,
the general who won world-fame
for himself overseas was greeted
with footing whistles, the waving
of flags and handkerchiefs by
thousands of persons, the honking
of automobile horns, the playing
of bands, the shrieks of fire en-
0ines and the changing of bells.
Before the train came TO run stop
Mayor Taylor. holding the large
bouquet OF American Beauty roses in
hand' stepped on the platform and
sfasping the oulsiretched hand OF Gen.
efal Pershing. presented him the flow-
ers and spoke as follows:
"It Is indeed a pleasure as Mayor

The Characteristic musical instru-
ment Of the Chinese is q series of
bamboo tubes, the longest Of which
measures about nine inches, and Of
which the remainder diminish In
length at a regular ratio. each being
Just two-thirds the length of the one
before. This arrangement was devised
by the Chinese-thsy say. By the EN-
peror Huang-Ti-on the following
principle: Between heaven and earth
there Is perfect harmony. Now, the
number three Is the emblem Of heaven
and two Of earth. II then two pipes
or tubes be made In the proportion Of
three to two, they will harmonic in
tone as perfectly as earth and heaven.
So the base tube of the instrument
was made nine inches long and the
second two-thirds that length, or six
inches. OF course, the third has to be
twc-thirds the length Of the second,
or four inches; and 20 on. The result
was that the note Of the second tube
was what we call an interval of a fifth
above that Of the first, that of the
third o nth above the second, and
20 on through the whole range.

Owing to the scarcity Of steel in the

stitutes for steel had to be used as far

tons concrete fiume was used to
carry water across gulch. The f1ume
was formed as an inverted siphon, con-
sisting Of rectangular box resting on
concrete columns. It is about 6h
feet wide and nearly 8 feet deep
and is supported about S5 feet above
the bottom Of the gulch. A bell-and-
spigot expansion joint connects the
horizontal portion Of the fiume with
one Of the inclined stacks, the space
between being filed with asphaltic ce-
ment. This joint has operated salts
