minded citizen, has given a most valuable
collection of articles to the art museum

and costly treusures, notablo amoticr
which Is the large assortment of musical
instruments which he has gathered with
discernment. Mr. Wilson, Secretary of
the Bureau of Music, of the World's
Columbian Exposition, who was shown
the collection on ths occasion of his re

instruments which fairly represent the
progress of music, showing the barbaric
conception of sweet sounds as well as the
later manifestations on the part of half-

civilized people to produce eflects of
moving melody. The instruments are
hung around the walls and are properly
labeled. Frederick K. Stearns, who is
an excellent musician, being President
f the Detroit Musical Society, naturally
lakes a great interest in these instru
ments, and il is even hinted by some of
his intimato friends that he has become
proficient upon a score or so of them,
auch as the kermangeh, the gumbry, the
dorboaka and other well-known instru
ments. The sweet sounds th at are pro
duced from some of these instruments
are not always of a ravishing character,
ao that when the alfable President of the
Detroit Musical Society is asked to play
a solo on some extremely curious looking
contrivance he generally is so considerate
as to give only a short selection, which
fully impresses his visitor with the re
markable qualities of the instrument.
It goes without saying that most ex
traordinary variations of sound may be
produced on these instruments which
were devised by the Chinese, Iodi.ins,
Mongolians, Africans, Japanese and
many other people who have not pro
!iyicd instruments that are in use in the
best regulated orchestras. Even Wag
ant who was notable for having all kinds
of instruments and plenty of them in
his orchestras would pause appalled be
fore a band ot musicians armed with the
instruments seen in tho Stearns collec
tion, and it is doubtful if even he could
o orchestrate as to provide for such an
emergency.
A careful study of the instruments

education In a certain phase of musical
matters. While the Chinaman makes ot
his music a matter of scionce, and an
agency for moral improvement, with the
Hindoo It is preeminently a thing of the
emotions. It has been asserted that
Hindoo music hss nothing which corre
ponds exactly to what we cell musical
measure, but that instead it is charac
terized by certain rhythm Incapable of
being brought under the laws of musi
cal time. There are two systems
of music in voue in India at the pres
ent day, the Karuatik, or southern sys
tem; and the Hindustani, or northern.
The latter Is cbicfly in the hands of the
Mohammedan professors, who appear to
have borrowed from the Arabian and
Fenian systems. Tue Karnatlk Is more

which part of India it belongs. Many

as to poetry and melody. Tbo drum of

of reddish wood and has four wire
strings, three of steel and one of brass.
It is used to accompany the voice sing
ing. The flute and flageolets of bam
boo have seven Anger-holes each and
somo of them are furnished with a brass
tip.
The Chinese as a Nation delight in
what appeals to the senses vivid color,
original form and striking sound.
Their music, therefore, is characterized
by little .it the spirltml. To them sen
suous delight in tono is a ureat attrac
tion. They base all sciences on mus c,
and at one time tho purity of its pre
vailing typo was considered to be tho
test ot the virtues nf the reigning mon
arch. Even to-day the Imperial Hoard
at Pekln still keeps a close watch over
new compositions, in order, as Tar us pos
sible, to prcerve the ttyleot the ancient
music. The music of the Chinese, like
their langutgc, is written in vertielp
rowsot characters from right to lelt.
The modern Chinese have a special si"n
for nearly every note in their melodic
system. There is said to be a curious
rcscrablanco between some Scotcu ami
Chinese airs. Among the instruments
of this Nation in the Stear.is collection
are te yuc kin, tho sons ami the ur-iienn.
The yuo-kin, or the moon -guitar, has
four strings which are tuned in pairs at
the interval of a lift I). Tiio sona is a
favorite instrument among the common
people, especially at marriage entertain
ments and fuueralii. It has an excep

the strings are tuned at an Interval of

The average European who has had
the opportunity of listening to a Japan
ese orchestra may smile at tho Idea of
their music haviog any real value. In
Japauesa clviliz ition, its in Chinese, mu
sio has for centuries been one of the
chief factors. It takes a prominent
place in all ceremonies, religious and
secular, and plays a no less important
part in private life. Street bands are as
numerous as in China and the use of
musical instrument, among the people in
general, is much more universal. The
Japanese writes bis mualo in the same
manner as the Chinese. He cares little
whether tbo sounds to which he listens
are produced by wocd, skin or clay. It
is enough for him if they are pleasing lo
the ear. He divides bis instruments in
to classes, perfect and imperfect. Per
fect instruments arsf used for sacred
music; all other are imperfect. Among
tho string instruments in the Stearns
collection are the koto. The name is
applied to a large family of instruments,
varying greatly in me, construstion and
the number of strings, from the sumtna
koto, with the single string, to the sono
koto, which has thirteen. The kokin
is a violin. This instrument hss four
strings ot gut and is played with a long
horsehair bow. The instrument is held
perpendicular in the left hand, the neck
uppermost and the body resting on the
lap. The bow is grasped with the right
hnd, in such a manner that the hairs
may be tightened or loosened at pleas
ure, between the fourth and fifth Augers.
In spit of this awkward method of
bowing, it is said to produce remarkably
sonorous tones. This instrument has re
celved the hearty praise of European
writers. Its superiority over the Cbiueso
violin must he admitted. In the musical
academy at Japan the musical commis
sion bat reopin wended that with tbs
piano and organ, the koto and kokln
should have a place in the curriculum of
the institute and in ordinary school In
struction. Experiments for Improving
its construction have already been made,
and by substituting a soundingbonrd of
kirl wood lor the customary catskin,
much Oner quality of tone is produced.
The music of Corea Is undoubtedly
founded on that of China. It seems to
have varied little in character since the
early days. Of harmony the Corcan
knows nothing. His favorite instru
ment Is tho clarionet, which is said to
have a shrill and piercing sound. It is
the constant companion of the Coreans,
Indoors and out, and nothing is more
common than to see one of them start
ing out for a stroll with his instrument
under his arm. He will gather atound
him a ctowd of eager listeners in a short
space of time. This instrument is always
played foi solo purposes, for the excel
lent reason that if used In concerted
music its tones would hopelessly drown
those ot all the rcit of the band. Musir
is popular with all class-is of the Cor
eana.
