Organ Built of Bamboo

Tuneful melodies of sweet, we'll
rounded tone still flow from the pipes
of a bamboo organ built into the
church at Las Pinas in the Philippines
more than ITO years ago by the Angus
tinian fathers. This instrument is
constructed wholly of bamboo cut
from a jungle near the church. The
builders treated the bamboo to make
it impervious to the elements. The
pipes were buried in sand for six
months for seasoning and hardening
as a protection against both the at
mosphere and white ants, which at
tack nearly all wooden articles in that
climate In 1868 and again in 1882
the organ was damaged the first time
by an earthquake S~sau the second
time by typhoon which blew off the
roof of the church. 1t was silent for
30 years until in 1917 Father Faniel,
a Belgian missionary, had it repaired
and since that time it has been In con-
slant service.

Exposure to Cold Not
Harmful in Still Air

Professor Barcroft's heart beat and
blood flow test on naked persons in
the extreme cold Of ten degrees below
the freezing point suggests the ques-
ton: What degree Of cold can the
unclad human body withstand? Per
haps the most surprising experiment
in this direction was made during the
international circumpolar expeditions
in 1928. The officer In charge Of
the northern Siberian station, clad
only in his nightshirt, left his tent
for stroll in the open air when the
temperature YVES u degrees below the
freezing point, and ne was none the
worse for it, This result was ex-
planned by the fact that during the
promenade not a breath of air was
stirring. Had there been a purga
(the terrible blizzard of that region)
with its dense, binding, and suffocat-
ing cloud of ice needles, 1t would have
meant instantaneous death.

History of Suez CnnnI

The Suez canal, 90 miles long, con-
Meeting the Red sea and the Mediter-
ranean, was built by stock company
organized in 1854 by the French en-
gineer, De Lesseps. Work was COM
menced in 1859 and November 16,
1869, the canal was opened In the
presence of the emperor of Austria,
the empress Of the French and the
khedive of Egypt. The cost of the I'M
dertaking was somewhat more than
$100,000,00O. The canal is a sea-Ievel
canal and its completion reduced the
sea voyage from London to India more
than $500 miles In 1875 the British
government purchased the khediyes
interest in the canal for about $780,
