They saw a trim, bolid-Ieoklng, red building. Its deer was wide open, but Its windows nere barred. Jack nnd Janet thought it much tee fine a heiihc for rascal Blue Jay until they taw the name above the deer. When they saw that name they joined In the little gray man'H chuck e. Fer the name was "JAIL." And Jail wan just what ras cal B ue Jay deserved for trying te 6tcnl the houses of the birds and charge them rent in bugs, beetles and worms. "That la a tine house for tsiue jay, lauched Jack, "but hew arc you going te get him Inte tt?"

He estimated that Pennsylvania to day has enough hunters te make mero than half a mil' Ien se'dlcra overnight "the best In the 'world." Mr. I'hiUlps told the committee Penn sylvania fifteen years age Inaugurated what la new being considered for the whole country. "The sanctuaries were se successful thnt we have continued the work and today we have forty sanctuaries throughout the State. Twenty of them are en Stafc lands, five en property taken under long ieuse from ten te twenty jeurs und seven purchased by the "sportsmen fund. "In 1015 we had 02.000 licensed hunters. On ncceunt of the game be coming mere plentiful lust year we sold 1!02,000 llccnbca. In addition we have '215.000 farmers in Pennsylvania. The 'armeru are net required te pav for n i lii-enne en their own lands. We have in Pennsylvania then an army of at least llQO.OtK.) hunters who can be mob ilized lu ene day.

Blue Jay saw what the little old jrray man was doing, and raised a fierce racket. He screamed and screeched and scolded as he danced about In a tree et the edge of the clearing. The llttle old gray man climbed down the ladder, and carried the jail te the very tree in which Blue Jay was danc ing. There the little old man fastened the jail ,te a low limb. Then he re turned te Jack and Janet. He pre tended net te pay any attention te Blue Jay, but he held In bis fingers a thread which led te the jail. Blue Jay quit scolding when he saw the new beuse in the tree. He put bis head en one side and peered nt it with curious eyes. Then he bopped nearer te it. He saw his bugs, beetles and worms Inside. He cast a sly leek at the Ittle old gray man nnd at Jack and Janet. They didn't appear te be notic ing him. With n quick flirt. Blue Jay dived into the deer. At that instnnt the little old gray man pulled the thread. The doers of the jal! swung shut, and there was Blue Jay caught Inside with his bugs, beetles and worms. "He! He! He!

The latest te contribute lfl Dr. Merltz Steehr, professor of bacteriology nt Mount St. Vincent's Collcge in New Yerk, and hla contribution ,i a port able keyboard which may be super Imposed en Any piano. It also con tains a typewriting device which will record whatever ene .may play. ,Dr. Steehr's device consists of a manual which rests firmly upon ,the normal clavlaturc of the piano, and the depres sion of the keys of the manual trans mits the impact of the fingera te the keys of the' piano by means of little reds which pass through holey in the stationary frame. This frame may be shifted from stde te side en the clav latur, be that transposition into it hlghpr or 'lower key becomes n matter et mechanics and net ene of musician ship. By the use of this device It will be possible te ploy everything In the key in which it is written en the 'super, Imposed manual nnd by moving the Ktatlenary frame get whatever tonality Is desired from the actual instrument beneath. TT 18 te be hoped, if only for the sake X of the- Inventor, that his devlce will meet with a mere general reception from musicians than has been accorded te ether similar devices In years past. Thrrr- hnvn lirnn mnnv of them, but none of them has come into uu; thing. like general use. Thn ertrn Uilieiinl ilrilcn has tW reasons for eilslencu. ene u moderately legitimate one, und the ether net no geed. The first of these is te produce effects of which the ordinary piano is net capable, and if It be really neces sary te extend the capabilities of the Instrument, this is u geed and tufliclcnt reason for ut least pnrtlal ndoptlen. The ether reaeen is te make piano playing easier, Hnd te de uwey with much of the drudgery inseparable from complete nrtlstry and perfect mechan ical ability. This reason Is open for argument. The mechanical drudgery of leurnlng nny instrument has another s-ide which Is net generally considered, and that Is the mental discipline which gees with nny hard work. It Is doubtful whether It Is desirable te de away entirely with the hard labor element of music, an this work gives mental, if net Intel lectual, qualities, without which high attainment, at least from our prebent standard?, would be Impossible. e It Till, keyboard of the piano has been the subjret of altnect as much at tention from it few pianists and many bcicntists as any ether department of music. Ncnrly all these experiments for few of them progressed beyond the experimental ategc are of compara tively recent date; that Is, within tne last seventy years. The scale of the concert grand piano, the standard of the percussion instru ments, was definitely fixed about 18Ti2, at which time It seemed te be agreed upon by the makers, at least within a tone or se of the limit of distinguishable tone, both high und low. Up te this point the matter of keyboard held a secondary position nnd thcre waa no really serious effort te effect a chunge Tlnr u-tth the tonal rnnee riptinitr.lv fixed, the attempt at improvement e'f 1 the keyboard began and. strangely enough, these chunges were net based upon the improvement of tone, but upon the simplifying of mechanical achieve ment. Among the early Inventors, If they I may be called ,such, who endeavored te I change the kevbeard were William A. B. Lunn. of Eng'and, whose Idea ua te group the six upper and the six lower j keys instead of the seven und five of the erd'nnry octave. This gave all the I maier scale in two fingerings, as an I upper or a loner key became the key- note. Mr. Lunn presented hi.s keyboard about 1S-10, u decode before the tenti register of the piano had been definite! fixed. In this conception the nete (' , became a b'nek key, a feature of sevcra' of the "new" keyboards, due, perhaps te the fuct that the later tchoel of pian ists regard all keys as en u lvel. Ofheru uhe exnerimenteil ulthnut n. manent success vrere Dr. K. B. b'chu- mnnn, a German physician, and Mr. Bnsiiiquct. a profev-er of St. Jehn's College.

THE most Important application of this cystem was that of Paul von Jonke. whose keyboard attained mere tegue than any of the ethers, or per haps it might be mere accurate te s.iy thun all of the etheru together. Tn this fingerlmnrd each note hiin th'ee keys, each lower than the ether, attached te a key lever and thus six parallel rows of whele tone Interval nrc nro nre duced. The advantage clalmrd for thlsj keyboard Is a freer use of the fingers thun Is possible with the ordinary beard, as the performer has the choice of three double rows of kcs. The: octave is brought within the stretch of I the erdluar) sixth and th" ue of the j arpeggio stjle for wide chord. is net necefsary- ' But, notwithstanding these apparent' advantages from the standpoint of th,e j performer und the fuithcr fact that' Dr. Janke's keyboard had the benefit of' .unlimited publicity, it was ut'er a real rival of the accented nliine. This Is probably largely due te the fact that the existing literature of the ptaue is thoroughly effective en the old style kej beard and the pianist, who really count have learned and nre accustomed te this method.
