DRAWS MUSIC FROM A SAW

The leading novelties of a current New
York musical revue is the musical car
penter who uses his saw as a violin.
After protracted experimentation
and untiring practice, Sam Moore of
New York city has succeeded in get
ting very agreeable music from ordin-
airy carpenters saw, according to the
Scientific American. He holds the saw
handle between his legs. holds the tip
of the saw in one hand and works the
usual violin bow with the other. The
vibrating steel blade emits soft. ap-
pealing notes, the pitch of which is
varied by changing the curvature of
the blade
All sorts of queer effects can be
obtained by the adept manipulation
of the blade; in fact, the music de-
rived by this means can hardly be de-
scribed. If anything, ii resembles the
human voice; then again 1t has the
queer wall of the Hawaiian Ukulele.
All In all, the effect is startling and
pleasing.

New VeQetahIe Ivory

A recent number of the French bull
ietin of the colonial office gives q de-
scription of new form of vegetable
ivory, which can be used in European
industry in place of the coroso. This
new substance is produced by the ker-
mel of an edible fruit growing upon a
palm of the upper SenegaI-Niger ter
ritory, the Borassus ethiapicum. The
kernel is seven or eight centimeters
long and five centimeters broad. thus
permitting the cutting of balls Or
plates of considerable size to be used
in marquetry, or the making of domi-
noes, piano keys, buttons, etc The kerr
mel becomes extremely hard when
thoroughly dried. AS a proof of this II
is stated that it is at the present mo-
ment being used as building stones for
making of the houses of native chiefs,
while it is expected that the future
cathedral at Dakar win have tinted
pillars constructed of these same kerr

RETAIN OLD RELIGIOUS RITE
ouapaw Indians Stick to Form Of Wor-

Important Part.

In the vicinity of DEVILS Hollow,
several miles east of Quapaw, Okla,
there is a wigwam-shaped church
building located miles from any white
mans habitation, and long distance
from the nearest Indian domicile,
where the Quapaw full-blooded Indians
congregate regularly to worship the
Great Spirit in silence. They sit about
a tiny fire that has been built on a
stone base in the middle of the dirt
floor, from Saturday night at shutdown
till Sunday noon, fasting and praying
but never speaking word.
feature of their church meetings
Is the feast that follows the fast and
religious rites. The meal is served
in little mess house nearby, and
when the services are over the squaws,
who have slipped out few hours be-
fore the time to close, are ready with
the dinner and all sit down to partake
of the food that is always a part of the
program.
The church was built many years
ago, so that the residents might have
a place to worship, custom still kept
UP, regardless of the fact that there is
no preacher, no choir, nothing to call
them but the religious spirit Of the In
dian. Chief Quapaw owns nearly 1000
acres of land in this region, but when
he was offered $4,000 for few acres
of it that lay in the city of Quapaw,
which was named after him. he re-
fused because, he said, he knew the
white man would try to get the money,
but could not get the land away from
him.
