Built in three sections "top joint," "lower joint" and "bell" the contains many keys and bores. Chief improvements are due to research conducted by Barre and Triebert. Like the bassoon, it evolved from that group called schalmeys and bombards. The tone, peculiarly distinctive without being powerful or obtrusive, is very penetrating. Cambert first used It in the score for his opera, "Pomone," produced in Paris in 1671, relates a writer In the Chicago Daily News. The cor anglais, not a horn, differs In build from the oboe in that the tube is longer and ends in a bell, and globular or the crook which holds the reed is bent back at an angle. Its tone quality is melancholy and good examples may be heard in the shepherd's pipe melody in Act III of "Tristan," or in the slow movement of Dvorak's "From the New World." Gluck wrote for it in "Alceste" and "Orfeo," but these parts were played by the clarinet because the cor anglais was not yet a member in good standing of the orchestra. Although Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven composed for it occasionally, it did not become a part of the symphonic group until Wagner demanded it Consisting of a single beating reed, the clarinet is constructed with a tube pierced with many side holes terminating in a bell. The ajto and bass clarinets, however, have keys instead of holes. Supposedly invented by Denner 1690), the clarinet (Nuremberg, traces Its ancestry to the chalu-meaIn 1843 Klose completely reorganized the fingering, basing it on u the Boehm system. Although had used clarinets in 1751 in his opera "Acante et Daphise," their place in the orchestra really dates to about 1770, when Mozart employed several in his "Paris" symphony.

There is but the barest means of sustenance on the island. Fertile soil is scant, being continually washed away by rains, and rodents poach upon the carefully tended gardens. The fish supply is plentiful except in stormy weather, when it is dangerous to venture out on the rolling sea. Tristan da Cunha Is an extinct volcano, the crater of which is filled with fresh water. The nearest land is St. Helena, where Napoleon died, 1,320 miles away to the north, with Cape Town 1,400 milei to the east. Hate White Men The Marindanim tribesmen of Dutch New Guinea, natives of the island lying north of Australia, practice as they have for hundreds of years. The Marind anim, inhabiting the river district, are the most savage and successful of the tribes on the island. They regard all other tribes as implacable enemies and raid them continually for their ghastly human trophies. So Intense is their hatred of the white man that few whites ever venture near them. The Dutch government mskes persistent but fruitless efforts to stamp out the habit of Head-Hunte- rs head-huntin- g head-huntin- g Di-go- head-huntin- g dence in the office of the general manager. Miss Marshall was efshe ficient, she was was zealous in the performance of all the many aggravating details that so irk a busy executive. The general manager occasionally wondered how on earth he had managed to get along without her. Salesmen never paid the slightest attention to her exits or entrances. With her hair drawn tightly back without even a part, with heavy hornrimmed glasses and with an unvarying, uniformlike costume of dark blue with severe white collar and cuffs, she made no bid for masculine admiration. "Until next week Thursday, then Miss Marshall," concluded the general manager, somewhat hesitantly, as he took the traveling bag that she had arranged to have sent from his hotel as soon as she had learned of his decision to take a sudden trip east. It was 6 o'clock. The outer office was empty and Miss Marshall wanting to finish a few extra tasks caused by the unexpected departure of the general manager, threw the heavy, glasses on the desk with a sigh of relief. Even though the glass in them did resemble window glass, the frame irritated her nose. Her hair had been too tightly strained back for comfort that morning, so she took out the hairpins and let the mass of brown curls fall loose. Then she went on the Walk The cocker spaniel does not get his name from his confident manner . . . although that might furnish reason enough for so designating him he is called the cocker because he was primarily used for hunting woodcock . . . incidentally, the springer spaniel comes by his name in much the same manner, says the American Wildlife institute.

An elderly gentleman approached one of the attendants in the travel- ing menagerie. "Can you tell me what the lump on the camel's back Is for?" ha asked politely. "What's it for?" the man murmured.

She was too absorbed in it to notice the door open and the thick rug silenced the footsteps of the intruder. Accordingly, Mary literally bounded up from her chair when a hand reached out and picked up her glasses from the desk. The general manager smiled quizzically as he raised them to his eyes and looked at her through them. "I decided to take the Century and so put off my trip until tomorrow," he began brusquely. "As a matter of fuel I felt so darned lonesome when I got to the station that I just had to come back to you." he wound up in an entirely different tone. "Glasses and all?" "Glasses and horrible coiffure and boarding-schoo- l uniform and all. vou little hypocrite," said the general 'I ve been wise to you manager. since the night you dined at the Brake with the six feet of masculinity that I longed at the time to annihilate.

"Just because you're different from any other entirely girl in the world. I'd know you in an Eskimo's outfit," said the general manager taking a small plush box from his pocket.

Piety Sunken Treasures Along The Shores of Trinidad A young flying stationed somewhere near Egypt, while flying near the Great Pyramids, carrying out exercises in navigation, and working with a sextant to discover his exact position, suddenly turned to the pilot and said: "Take off your hat!" "Why?" asked the pilot. "Because, according to my calculations, we arc now inside St. Paul's officer, cathedral" His Stinger It happened at the zoo one fine bank holiday. From the almost solid mass of people on one side of the elephant walk there darted a very small boy who paused, bun in hand, right in the track of the big elephant. Just as the animal extended his trunk to take the bun there came a harassed voice from the crowd: "Mind, Willie . . . mind 'e don't sting yer?" Error Pat wanted to borrow some mon- ey from Michael, who happened to have a small boy with him at the moment. " 'Tis a fine kid you have there, Mike," said Pat.

They believe that the souls of the men who dug the holes still guard the spots. These men, as was the rule of the day, were killed as soon as the treasure was placed in the holes and were thrown in after it by the men who bade them dig it. Bad luck, it is believed, will follow any one who seeks this buried gold and silver, thus disturbing the souls supposed to be guarding it.
