PHILIPPINES HAS
REMARKABLE ORGAN

one OF the most remarkable organ
in the world Is the bamboo organ in
the Catholic church of Los Pinas, u
little town about five miles from
Manila, in the Philippine Islands. This
0rgnn was built about 1918 by an old
Spanish priest, who must have been
an extremely patient and devoted work
err, as he used more than 900 lengths
OF bamboo In the organ, every one Of
which was buried In the sand for nj
least two years in order TO season II.
Strange to say, although bamboo IL
very soft wood, the old priest did his
work 40 well that the organ is still
In good condition after century Of
use, and IL used every week in his
services by the Belgian priest IN
charge, Father Victor Declercq. Itv.
cry part OF the instrument Is made Of
bamboo, and some very ingenious de.
vices were included by lis builder
who must have found his work In.
Dor Of love indeed. While making
this larger organ, the old Spnnlnrd
built tiny model perfect copy Of
the big instrument. This he sent to
the queen Of Spain. who, In apprecia.
ton OF this unique present, sent n
number OF valuable gifts to the church.
Some OF them still remain, and are
almost as much treasured ns the organ
itself.--Wide World Magazine.
