14 TO MAKE A NOISE. From That Desire Developed the Idea of Musical Instruments. THOSE OF PERCUSSION. ‘The Rattle the First Form and Then Comes the Drum—Different Kind of Drumsin Va- rious Countries im the East—A Chime of Stones—Bells in the Buddhist Temple ‘Written for The Evening Star. 18 GENERALLY KNOWN THAT THE Grst thing a human being does on coming into the world is to make noise, and this is likewise true of the entire race. Quite the ear- liest records we have of the dwelling of man- kind on the earth contain evidence of his innate propensity to make a noise of some kind, and it is only in comparatively recent times that the noise produced is in any way entitled to be known ss music. Asin other things, what is true of the race, in course of time, is found at present in different conditions of social status. t&The propensity to make a noise of some kind ‘Manifests itself in all phases of nervous excita tion—shouting in battle, the use of instru- ments, intonation and incantation in religious ceremony, wailing in mortuary observances and a general pounding and shouting at wed- ding festivities. The various kinds of noises seem to be adapted each to its own peculiar oc- casion, and yet the desire for confusion is so strong that the time and place have sometimes become sadly mixed. The wailing of » paid mourner can hardly be expected to resemble the manifestation of those ae cate mourn. ‘The “hallelujah” religious rejoicing is but an adaptation of See ckenk ef vor icing ct te Greeks. The Greeks going into battle smote their shields with the spear. When the Hebrews ‘were about to go to war they sent a trumpeter into every city to recruit. At the Island of Nantucket the town. crier goes down to the wharf when the steamer comes in to shout the news, and the watch blows horn in the church tower whenever a sail comes im sight. Even nature sometimes makes an artificial noise— earthquakes have been known to make the church bells ring. There is no such thing as nature in silence; it floats on the air from the hum of the tiniest insect to the scream of the sea eagle and man catches the inspiration, dreading silence as he dreads oblivion. With him the more vitality, interest in life, virility that the occurrence contains, the greater the occasion for a noise. ‘THE ORIGINAL RATTLE. To come more particularly to musical instra- ments, though the earliest forms can be called such only by courtesy, we find that the first essays in that direction have nothing musical about them. being de- void of the means of in- tonation and even of uniform recurrence of sound. Probably the first form was that of the rattle, which has nothing but monoto- nous, meaningless sound, and no uniform recurrence of that. It is devoid of motive; quite opposite to casti- nets, which, without tone, in the hands of the ‘danseuse produce such exquisite effect, DOUBLE-HEADED EAGLE due solely to motive. It makes a noise and ‘RATTLE. & aids in the confusion and hilarity of the dance. Adried squash or gourd with rat- tling seeds answers every purpose. But primi- tive races are disposed to Pitroducea bit bt em- Dlemism or atleast ornamentation. These rattles are from Sitka, Alaska, and used by the natives in their religious dances. They are totems as well as instruments, and have reference to the ceremony in which they are used. The bear figures prominently in their legends, believed to be the mitor of certain tribes and fam- ilies and, with a touch of ancestor worship, roperly figures in the sacred dance. The same true of the wild duck. A curious specimen found among them and reminder of BEAR RATTLE. survival is the double-headed _ eagle of Russia. This circumstance alone is sufficient to establish the fact that American aboriginal races crossed the Bering strait from Asia. ‘The eagle is a not uncommon totem among theth, while the double-headed eagle is of foreign origin to them. Indeed, it _was an emblem of the ancient people of Asia Minor, from whom it appears to have been derived by Austria and Russia, with many other oriental emblems and forms of ornamentation. Perhaps the most extraordinary rattles ever made were the skulls of Peruvian officers who were killed by the Javan Indians while oceupy- ing the'r country. Some years later these were found by a party exploring the same region. Undoubtedly, the chasm between this and Wagner's Trilogy is vast, but has been bridged by the process to which’ man, alone of all the animals, is adapted—experiment, reaching out for new results, development. THE CHINESE WooDEN Fiz. Tt seems as though before he bad acquired an ear for tone or a mechanical skill for its pro- duction he had developed some sense of rythm, accentuation and recurrence, time and Movement. Naturally concussion, ‘whicl is within control, whereas the rattle is not, comes next. But the implements were simple and rimitive. It is curious and worthy of note t the Chinese, while evincing superior me- ebanical skill sufficient to accomplish delicate instruments, still adhere so long to primitive forms and inadequate instrumentation. Pounding with a wrapped stick on_a piece of Wood gives hardly more of tonic effect than a rattle, but if the wood be made holiow, havin; ‘an opening to the air, there is at least ‘secured eontrolled succession of strokes and intervals, Here is » “Muyu,” or wooden fish, used by the Chinese. It is made of hard wood, hollowed in the center, the upper part forming a handle and with # slit opening, all cut out of a single block. The specimen in the National Museum colored red with the varnish or paint so diffi- to reproduce which they use in their juer work. The tracing represent- is gilded. Searcely any tone sug- of musical or other than beating time hammered out of it, but it represents @ step in progress. DEVELOPMENT OF THE DRUM. The drum naturally follows in course of de instruments for symponie purposes. The one illustrated is in fon at the National Museum and is Japanese in make and use. The shell is about ton Inches in diameter, cut out of a single block and having an aperture running through it not more than four inches in diameter, thus leaving it al- most solid. The goatekin heads attached to hoops extend some four inches beyond the shell. The drumhead over the case of the shell is so small that it is onlya wonder it gives out any resonance. It does, however, not give the full thunderous jar of @ big dram, but a much more feeble tone, which is almost .metal- He; a real musical note of high pitch. Is fe intended for concert joaes, and has very muuch the effect of our ocehestral tetallis kettle drum. It is known as the kakko. ‘The vibration of a skin drawn taut upon the mouth of « moderately solid body gives oat» tone of sharp vibration almost equal to that of metal. ‘THE CHINESE WAR DRUM. The Chinese war dram or kore is simply # “thumper,” intended to arouse the martial ardor of men by jarring their nerves and causing a coneussion of the breast. It is open at one end and the skin is drawn over the other when green or thoroughly soaked and attached by brads. It is not carried in war, but used to give the signal of war in the city where it is ept. When the Teping rebellion broke out these drums were daily heard in every city throughout the Chinese empire, as bonfires were seen by night on every hill. One of this kind is extant at Atuntoqui, which was there used toarouse the people when Huayna-Capac came to conquer the country for the Inca empire. This town is in the plain, 15,000 feet above the sea, where he fought his victorious battle. It will be observed that while the rattle is found only among aborigines the drum is an instrument for all social conditions, assuming the position of a true musical instrument when constructed largely of metal and used in the modern orchestra. Hundel introduced it in the latter to impart @olume and power to the composition where, of course, it was necessary it should have some tone value. Every drum has a different quality according to its shape. ‘That of our forefathers of the revolution was very much the size and shape of abarre! and was a less musical and more solemn affair than the shallow drum now in use, as perhaps it should have been. The snare, strung across the under head, which imparts buzzing sound, is of quite modern invention, not being found in any of the ancient or oriental drums of the present day. The lizard skin drum, small as it is, has quite a musical tone, owing to the solidity of its construction, cut out of a single piece, with a narrow core ‘running through it. The lizard skin ia tough, and is attached when green, by means of s tenacious glue made of wip. | It ie curious only for its workmanship and being one of many hundreds of forms. As usual, as we approach barbarism ornamentation increases and the implement becomes practically more insignificant. THE XYLOPHONE. We come now to an instrument of great beauty and almost romantic interest. It be- longs to the class commonly known as the xylo- phone. It is confessedly an instrument of tone, though of percussion, and may be con- structed sv as to give the entire scale of tones and half tones. It is known as the ‘I-'e-ch'ing of China, or more commonly as the sonorous tones; may be said to be peculiar to China and there very highly esteemed, surrounded, as it is, with legend and religious superstition. The instrument is constructed of from one to an indefinite number of stones, which have the appearance of marble, probably & species of agate, imto the composition of which iron is supposed to enter tosome extent. ‘The best known specimens are found near the banks of the River See and the mountain tor- rents of Yun-nam, and are so rare that it is said a complete set cannot be purchased in China, though single stones may be obtained. They are of that great scarcity and value as is suited only to templesand the emperors'palaces. Many quaint if not absurd notions are asso- ciated with it. It is supposed that the pecu- liar clearness and purity of tone is due to posure to the sun and atmospheric changes. the timbre, indeed, is said to vary with the color. Specimens of uniform color, without shade or streaks, are most highly prized, and next to that those having fine blended ealors, They rarely exceed two feet in length, and the Chinese value them chiefly because ‘they always retain the same pitch. ‘The colors are very varied—whey, light blue, sky blue, indigo, light yellow, orange, dark red and pale green. Its tone lies between that of metal and of wood: less tart and rasping than the sound of metal and much brigter than wood—more brilliant and sweeter than either. THE KIEN-KING. The most important of these instruments is the kien-king. consisting of sixteen stones in the shape of a carpenter's square, suspended at the angle bya cord, in two rows of eight, one above the other, in a handsomely decorated frame. The variety of tone is obtained by varied thickness, the thickest giving the lowest note by reason of slower vibration, but even the best stones fail to give a complete octave, which it is well known can be obtained from hard wood. the “king” is a very ancient instrument, which the Chinese records show to have been very expensive and highly prized as long as 3200 B.C., and in one of the outbuildings of the temple of Peking there are ten sonorous stones said to have been cut 3,000 years ago. it is said the art of cutting stones was lost for many years until 32 B.C., when a set was found in a pond where it had been thrown in the gen- eral destruction of 246 B.C. There is said now to be one in each Confucian temple and impe- rial place of worship. ‘They claim it blends best of all instruments with the human voice, and Confucius is said to have been thrown intocestacy on hearing it for the first time. Certainly the chimes I have heard are exquisitely beautiful within their compass. At one time their use was forbidden to all but priests occupied in religious offices and emperors and were received as tribute. ‘THE JADE SPECIMEN. ‘The specimen at the National Museum, con- sisting of three stones, is valuable for the jade. ‘This stone is rare and very interesting. It is very hard, receives a high polish and due to the fineness of the grain admits of beautiful carving. ‘It is found worked into ax and arrow leads among the early remains of man, in the lake dwellings of the neolithic age, where it was brought as an article of barter from the far east. ‘fo the man of that day it was more valuable than gold, and by the man of this day highly esteemed for making small and del- icate carvings. Its color runs from almost white to dark green and it gives a very pure musical tone. In this country, at the Luray cavern, Va., is be heard one of nature's instruments, a series of staluctites of different lengths, hanging from the rock ceiling. These stones, of crystalline lime formation, on being struck give out a pure, sonorous tone being very numerous admit of the execution of difficult airs All the range of their art, the Indian bell is a master- iece of workmanship. ‘The one in the framo of such fine metal thaton being slightly tapped it will hum for five minutes and more. It is hardly more that a copper kettle in shape, but the quality of the mem! is very superior, ‘The form and ceremony of Buddhist worship is solemn. impressive, and the tone of this bell within the darkened arches of the rock-built temples is full of mystery, awe inspi » The sound of the bell at the elevation of the host im the Catholic cathedral is impressive, but nothing can su: e solemn, far-away hum of the temple ball. REAL ESTATE GOSSIP. The Value of Ideas in Handling Prop- erty. THE SALE OF THE BACK GROUND OF THE LINTHICUM PLACE—AN OFFICE BUILDING FOR NEWSPAPER ‘MEN—A NOVEL ARRANGEMENT OF 4 STAIRWAT— GENERAL NOTES. ‘Ideas are as valuable in the real estate busi- nessasinany other calling when the nimble dollar is to be pursued and securely corralled before it can be claimed. The man who sug- gests how property can be made available and transformed into # paying investment is pretty certain to gain an audience. There is always— ‘that is, nearly always—money waiting for in- vestment, and even when the cash is not on hand it is pretty sure to be procured some- where, if the prospect of making a turn is at all alluring. There are men who are not gifted with the faculty of originating enterprises, but thoy ap- —- the gift in some one else and are per- fectly willing to follow in the lead of a good thing. Sometimes investors are compared to a flock of sheep and the comparison is not a bad one, the bell wether being a man of ideas. Not long ago a man went into the office of a friend and laid before him a plan which he had in mind for an investment in realestate. He only gave a very general sketch and bofore he concluded his sentence remarked: ll put $40,000 into that scheme.” It was only an instance of a prompt appreciation of a gocd thing, and it further illustrates how eagerly opportunities of this kind are em- braced. These happy thoughts relating to real estate investments are very much like an ox- tensive class of patented ariicles. The principle which they involve are so very simple that everybody wonders when they have seen them how it happened that they did not think of the same thing. A retrospect of the real estate market is, as a rule, full of mourn- ful reminders of what might have been. It is easy to vee the opportunities in looking back. It is correspondingly difficult to perceive the opportunities of the present. AN INGENIOUS S"GGESTION. Arather ingenious suggestion was made the other day by a man who is so constituted that he does not make the question of money get- ting a personal one. If he had time to make money no doubt be would be a great succe: But he has given his attention to other prob- lems. But still he sometimes allows his mind ‘to dwell uy financial ventures and in one of these moods, he observed in passing along one of the fine resident streets of the city agap in the line of handsome improvements. ‘There was a square, perhaps two, where the houses were mean, presenting a striking con- trast tothe sections between which they were the connecting link: “Why wouldn't it be a good idea!” he ex- claimed, “for some syndicate to buy up all this property and remove these unsightly places? The ground would then appreciate in value, corresponding with the values ruling on each side, and the syndicate would gather ina goodly harvest of profit from their invest- ment.” ‘THE LINTHICUM PLACE. The recent purchase of the Linthicum home- stead by Mr. Henry F. Blount his been fol- lowed by several other purchases of ground in the subdivision of the property of that estate. In the rear of the house a large piece of land has been bought, which will be the site of a building to be known as the Home for the Aged and Infirm. The money which was this property, — $12,000, was donated by Mus. Bessie "J. Kibbev and it is the intention to erect a building which will cost $20,000. The ground adjoining on the east has been bought by Mr. Henry F. Blount, who desires to preserve the outlook to the north from his residence. A tract of some six acres to the west of the Kibbey pur- chase will be/retained by Mr. Dent, who intends to erect a residence there for his own use. All this property was known as the background of the Linthicum lace, and is weparated from the homestead site Era new strech, which is named. Lanthicum p The property extends to the grounds about the fine residence of Mr. Elverson of Vhiladelphia, who has made his home there for a number of years past. A NEWSPAPER OFFICE BUILDING. It seems likely that before long a large build- ing will be erected in some convenient locality which will be especially planned for the use of newspaper correspondents. The idea mects with favor, as the need of moro suitable offices than can now be obtained is generally felt. Mr. Allen, the manager of the Postal Telegraph Company in this city, some time ago submitted to the directors of his company a plan for the erection of a building’ contain. ing offices for newspaper correspondents and and suitable quarters for the use of the tele- graph company. Mr. Allen states that he talked with a number of correspondents in re- gard to his plan and it received their unquali- fied indorsement. One of the features which was especially commended were the tubes run- ning from the different office rooms directly to the room occupied by the telegraph oper- ators. By this arrangement the press matter could be sent directly to the tele- graph office without the intervention of messenger boys or the necersity on the part of the correspondents to leave their offices. ‘The directors of the company, however, concluded that they did not want to go into the real estate business, and very much to Mr. Alien’s regret the plan was not approved. It is now stated that Mr. Hearst, the son of the late Senator Hearst, has in view the erec- tion of a large office building for the use of newspaper correspondents and it may be that such a building will be erected before long. His representative in this city, Mr. Wedder- burn, while admitting that such @ project is talked of, yet suys that it has not reached the stage where any definite announcement can bo A QUESTION OF sTarRways. One of the difficult problems which archi- tects are obliged tosolve in the erection of large buildings is the location of the stairways. This is especially true in buildings which are erected on inside lots. How to properly utilize the space and at the same time secure a well- lighted staircase is rather a knotty question. ‘Messrs. Hornblower and Marshall, the archi- tects of the Everett apartment building, have followed a somewhat novel and original treat- ment in locating the stairway. ‘The stair- case occupies the center of the main front of the building and at each landing there is a window looking out on the street. ere is an abundance of light and air for the staircase, aswell as for the entrance to the suites of apartments. The building has a frontage of fifty feet and in addition to the space ttken for the stairway, there. is room on each side for ample windows Jn, the ‘principal room of each of tho two suites of apartments, which are on every floor. There is a passageway at the landing on all the floors, from which the doors of the suites of apartments open. Midway between these doors is the elevator. One of the advan- tages of this arrangement is that the ap- proaches to all the apartments are light and cheerful. The apparent disadvantage of the plan, mainly the loss of the space in the front of the house, which is usually regarded as the octaves mxy be abtained. BUDDMIST TEMPLE BELLA. Whoever has listened to the silvery chimes of some old peal of bells in the cathedral towers of Europe ringing off some favorite religious or operatic air will never forget the music or hesi- tate to class them among theinstruments. The use of metal—eopper, tin, zine and silver—places ‘them in the first rank s fe, quality of tone, a ‘oportions de- termino the note, vo that they may be constructed to cover all the chro- most valuable, is more than balanced, it is claimed, by the fact chat there are no badly lighted places throughout the building.
