version.
In Northern Mythology. Odin, the
God of Storm. is said To have pos
sessed q dog This was a sign Of
wind. Cats. as is we'll known. are
more or less affected by rainy
weather.
Thus. when rain falls pussy gets
frisky. Consequently. in talking OF
it raining cats and dogs. which,
literally. is of course absurd. the
significant meaning is: Wet wealth

and bowling winds (Which the
dogs denote), or rains and

While on the subject of eats and
dogs. it is Interesting to kno" that
there is said to have existed at one
time species OF ''mcow-less' fe-

told, give nightly concerts on the
tiles if they tried. Such dumb
cats would be welcome pets in our
households today!

His latest (when this was

it throws out flowers as beautiful
as they are dcEcjously scented. The

grown to Il large flower several feet
in circumference, which at ND
night is brown and orange and

Barber Invented the First Organ.

Vi ore than two thousand years
ago a barber in Alexandria discov-
cred that in moving his mirror
air was. forced through the tubes
which We're common in mirrors at
that time This caused curious
musical sound to be emitted.
So struck was he by this peculi-
ari;y that he set about mailing an
instrument which was the founda-
ton of the modern organ.
After several experiments he
made a water-flNe. in which air
was forced by bellows through an
inverted cone which led to flutes
controlled by keyboard, the pres
sure being kept uniform by water.
After a thousand Years rival
instrument made its appearance.
This was Of a similar pattern. but,
instead Of water. weights regu-
lated the pressure.
In 951 an organ was erected at
Winchester, England ! 1t had
twenty-six bellows and ten pipes
to each key. The two men who
sat at the keyboard blew and
sweated enormously.
Later. a firm Of organ makers in
Germany succeeded in erecting the
first really big instrument. The
primary stops did not differ Very
much from those Of to-day, al
though various novelties We're in
troduced.
Among the innovations We're the
nightingale and cuckoo stops. while
others represented cock-crowinS
and goat-bleating. Though these
novelties have now fallen into dis
use, an organ with one Of these
nightingale stops is still TO be seen
in Rome.
it was not until the ninetccth
century that the problem OF the
regulation of air pressurcs was
solved by introduction of the hy-
draulic blower.
Amongst the largest organs in
the world are the Haariem. Hol-
land, instrument. which possesses
SIXTY stops and 5000 pipes; the AL
bert Hall. London. organ. with 123
stops: the organ in St Georges
Hall. Liverpool. with 10 stops: one
at St. Louis. Australia. which boasts
$50 stops; and one in Sydney. Aus
