SH0FAR OF GREAT ANTIQUITY
Oldest Form of Wind instrument That
Has Been Retained in Use by
the World.

DR.. Cyrus Adler, writing of the
shofar, calls it the solitary mu-
steal instrument actually preserved in
the Mosaic ritual. at is also" he
says, "the oldest form of wind instru-
ment known to be retained in use by
the world. Professor Steinthal point
ed out that this was an instrument
no doubt used in prehistoric times.
Wetzstein Is of the opinion that the
use of the rams horn may have been
borrowed by the Israelites and goes
back to people who were engaged
solely In the care of sheep; by them
1t was used as signal of alarm.
There can be little doubt that 1t has
been continuously used in the Mosaic
service from the time it was establish
ed until now. The shofar was not the
only horn used by the Israelites as a
musical instrument. but no copies or
representations of other musical in
struments have come down to us.
From the Talmud we learn that the
use Of the shofar as note of alarm,
OF war, was transferred to other sea-
sons of danger and distress. Famine,
a plague of locusts, and drought occa-
stoned the blowing Of this instrument.
The shofar was employed at the pub
lie ceremony of accommodation. A
very curious use of the shofar in later
times was in funeral ceremonies. |
quite agree with Wetzstein that this
use of the instrument is quite apart
from the Semitic custom and that it
was probably borrowed. AS a signal
and an instrument of war 1t has its
various uses; 1t was signal for going
out to battle for the announcing of a
victory and for the recall Of troops"

ground-and states that it not only
emitted a sound when lying funds-
turbed in its den, but several individu-
ais would hold together a conversa-
ton that seemed endless. 1t was a
kissing conversation, though not I'M
modulated or without considerable va
riety. "a long sibilation would be
followed by distinctly heard ticking
sounds, as of husky-ticking clock,
and after 10 or 20 or 80 ticks, another
hiss, like a long-expiring sigh, some
times with a tremble in it, as of a dry
leaf vibrating in the wind. No sooner
would one cease than another would
begin and so 1t would 60 on, demand
and response, strophe and anti
strophe; and at intervals several
voices would unite in a kind of long
mysterious chorus, death-watch or
hiss"

FAMOUS AS GREAT ENGINEER
Mark lsambard Brunei Won High
Rank Among Men Noted for Their
Service to the World.

Sir Mark Isambard Brunei, engineer
Of the Thames tunnel. died at London,
December II, 1S49. The great enter
prise by which he became popularity
distinguished was the tunnel connect
ing the shores of Essex and Kent. One
day Brunei conceived the construction
of a cast-iron shield, which should bore
like an auger by means of strong
hydraulic screws, while as fast as the
earth was cut away, bricklayers
should be at hand to replace 1t with an
arch. He patented the plan and re-
vived the project Of road under the
Thames. In 1924 the Thames Tunnel
company was formed, and the next
year the work started and was pur-
sued through many difficulties from ex-
plosions of gas and eruptions of wa
ter-until 1928. At the beginning Of
that year about 600 feet had been
completed when the river broke
through and six men were drowned.
Work was suspended until 1885, when
the government advanced the company
over million dollars. At last the
1000 feet was completed and the tun-
mel opened on the 25th of March, 1843.
Brunei was knighted by the queen
and his fame was borne to the ends
of the earth.

Bull Fighting Revived

Brownsville. Texas. March 21.-A
revival of bull fighting is planned by
residents in some Of the Mexican
States along the border
Reports say that the people of Ma
tamoros, across the Rio Grande from
here, are arranging for reconstruction
of the famous bull ring there and
have applied to the governor Of
Tamualipas for authority to proceed.
It is planned to hold a bull fight in a
temporary arena on May 5, the an
niversary of the victory Of Mexican
arms over the French at Puebla.
Bull fighting in Matamoros was
discontinued SIX years ago. The
arena, one of the finest in the repub-
lie, was destroyed by Carranza's adj
herents when Matamoros was taken
oy the forces under General Blanco.
The federal forces made their last
stand in the bull ring. -
Bull fights were abolished in the
republic by decree of General Car.
rama as soon as he became president.
Later the governors of the respective
states were permitted to allow or pro-
hibit the fights.
Years ago many Americans were
attracted to bull fights in the towns
across the border and the railroads
gave reduced rates

as the author Of a laconic reply to
the British naval commander who
asked when the American destroyers
sent to Queenstown to help conquer
Germany would be ready to fight. The
famous words as attributed to Vice
Admiral Sims were: "We can start
at once. We made our preparation on
the way
What actually happened, asserts
the vice-adn1iral in a letter publish
ed here. was that when the destroy
ers commanded by Commander Jo-
seph K. Taussig arrived at Queens
town after their 3,000-mile trans-At-
lantic voyage, they were in need OF
coaling. Admiral Bayly asked when
the American ships would be ready
for service and Commander Taussie
replied that he would be ready "as
soon as his vessels could be refuel-
ed"
Vice-Admiral Sims writes that he
was at that time in Paris. He added
that Commander Taussig was one OF
the ablest destroyer commanders who
served under me in the Atlantic fio-
til1a and the reply he made to Ad-
n1iral Bayly was exactly the reply
would have expected him to make.
