Saturday.
Caught in the grip Of terrific Med
iterranean storms. she drffted in an
aerial prison, unable to land or to
make headway.
Drawn OF Coast
When last seen the Dixmude was
over the Gulf Of Cabez, being blown
TO sea off the Tunis coast.
Since then, however, the winds have
changed and the Dixmude was being
drawn inland
Cavalry garrisons throughout Tunis
and Algiers were ordered out today
by the French war department for
search.
The troops were ordered to pass the
word along to the natives, who would
spread it rapidly from mouth to
mouth. because the Dixmude IS re-
garded as a supernatural sky monster
by the tribesmen OF northern Africa.
The ministry of marine today re-
iterated the announcement that the
Dixmude carried parachutes, and
failed to comprehend why the ships
commander had not ordered some
member Of the crew to drop overheard
with messages if the dirigible actually
lowered over or near towns, as re-
ported.
Stories Are Doubted
Christmas eve brought reports that
various stations in Tunis had seen the
airship's ''searchHghts" in the sky but
as these were sometimes reported
pointing In one direction and again in
another, and were not otherwise iden-
titled as belonging to the Dixmude,
the ministry now doubts if it was the
dirigible.
Technical advisers in the aeronautic
department of the French navy de-
clared II an impossibility for the Dix
nude to remain aIoft unprovisioned
for a week. They believe the airship
landed some days ago-if IN the sea,
with loss Of all lives; If in the desert
or among the rough hills of northern
Africa, perhaps with some lives
saved.
Despair for the air liners safety
grew today as the time she had been
away from her home base heightened
10 200 hours. The Dixmude carried
food for approximately sixty hours,
with emergency rations that would
carry her crew through another day
or so, but her water supply must long
since have been exhausted.

REMARKABLE SAVINGS FIGURES

Remarkable progress in the savings
habit in the United States is shown in
figures presented to the recent con
vention Of the American Bankers AS

dent of it's Savings Bank Division.
In 1921, Mr.. Beach showed, twenty
six million people had savings ac-
counts aggregating $16,61S. $4,000 In
1922, there was an increase of over
four per cent, bringing the aggregate
up to ST, 300, 100000. Similar statis-
tics for 1912 showed that the aggre-
gate was only about half as much as
in 1922 or only $8,433, 100000
Mr. Beach's report on school savings
banking showed that practically two
million pupils are now participating in
school banking systems, an increase
Of 81 per cent as compared with last
year and So per cent as compared with
1921, while the total Of the actual
amount deposited last year was
$9,618 900, as compared with $5,775, 900
in 1921 and $2,SOO,OOO in 1920, an in
crease of nearly $40 per cent in three

Evolution of Music

In the last article, we arrived at
point where music Cor rythm) was
produced by clapping of the hands
and beating upon hollow logs, etc. AS
time went on, the natives became
trifle more adept in the art of rythm
and resonance. Logs were followed
out and skins stretched over them to
produce a sound that had more body
lin other words, more resonance.
These logs were eventually followed
out in various sizes, thereby giving
each drum" a different tone. These
drums were used in the religious
rites of various tribes of Africans,
East Indians, South American Indians
etc., and also served as a means of
correspondence with other tribes in
times of war or peace, as these drums
could be heard for great distances,
(Here we have an example of the
primitive form of our present day
telegraphic code)
The modern orchestra is founded on
the drum, the pipe and the Tyre, in
order of their birth.
In the percussion family, we find
the snare drum, bass, cymbals, gong,
bells, xylophones and tympani, (com-
monty called kettle drums.) The in
struments of pitch in this family are
tbo bolIc yvIonhonnc and lxnttIn-dr1mS
all of which can be attuned to a per-
feet pitch. The bells are made of small
bars of tempered steel, each bar var
led a trifle in length to produce the
chromatic scale, and are played upon
with mallets or small hammers, either
of steel, wood or vulcanized rubber to
produce the various shadings of tone
Richard Wagner scored passage for
the bells in "The Magic Fire Scene"
from 1.-The Vallkyries' which is very
effective. The xylophones are made
of wooden bars, preferably rosewood
of various lengths, and the tone is
produced in a similar manner as the
bells, although there is little or no
resonance, unless they are played

generally three or more used in the

suffice-for ordinary compositions, as
they are tuned in fifths, viz: the tonic
