THE dedication by ('resident
CoOlldge recently of a curlllon-.
or tower of bells in Florida con*
terfc attention on these sources
of tnuslc and on' the region in which
they were developed: a strip of land
that extends from the North Sea
shores Inward for 50 miles or more
In plains which are largely Just above
high tide. .
On every side one sees pcorcs of
cities, towns, and village^ In the
foreground those are clearly delhted,-'but
In the middle distance they become
less distinct, and on the horizon
In soft and misty outline they almost
) disappear." In every such extended
j view.^hove town hnli njid, city gafe
j and ancient eh u rcj)c^. pi sea) dominant
here a rugged tower, there n tall belfry
or a graceful, slender spire. And
each of these skyward-soaring structures
becomes for the traveler a singing
tower if. on nearer approach, he
finds It crowned with that majestic
instrument of music called a carillon.
The word. "Carillon"?pronounced
"car* i-lon," with the "o" as in "atom"
?and the derivative, "carlllonneur,"
are French in origin, but now generally
accepted In English.Landing
at Rotterdam, one finds
the tower of St Lawrence's church.
Whose old bells make not merely a
great musical instrument, but by their
melodies express the spirit ' of 'the
country over which they- sound.
The traveler should mount the circular
stone stairway leading to the
heights of tower after tower to see
the bells,of (jnrillons in all their beauty
of decoration and arrangepient. ? He
finds himself among a great company
of bells, fijeed upon a heavy framework
and extending in parallel rows,
Her above tier, completely filling the
great tower room.
Belie Ranged in Tier*.
The little bells hang in the higheu
tier; the big bells Just clear the tloorf
the intermediate sizes hang in tiers
between." The largest "bell of all Is
taller than a tall man and It may
weigh four, five, or even six or eight
tOns. The smallest bell has a height
of 10 or 12 Inches only and perhaps
&: weight of less than 20 pounds. * . *
' Soon lt^ls realized, however, that of
greater consequence than nqraber, oral*^
or weight, Is-the pitch relatfonship
of the. bells; for the bells of a
carillon always progress by regular
semitone or chromatic Intervals. The
carillon of St Lawrence's tower has
these intervals complete through more
t$*n thfee octavqs, e*eept that the
tsftr lowest semitones tire lacking.
jThe arrangement and character of,
tljt bells first attract the observer**
attention. Then he begins to. study
how the music is produced. He soon
discovers that a carillon Is played in
t#o ways:
First, automatically by a revolving
barref connected with a tower clock,
which starts the music rft the boar,
the half hour, and at the quarters, and sometimes
even, at the eighths.
Second, by a tralned/tttuslcian, a
carlllonneur, seated at a keyboard like
fhat of an organ. Six and even more
notes can be struck In chords on the
carillon keyboard, and, so delicate are.
the adjustfcfcnts, that sustaining tones
On the lighter bells are easily accomnlttiluMl
hu.'"trPl?ollindo."
VTTviiuu uy 1 *T* *
Automatic playing of simple folk
songs, chiefly on the light bells. With
now and then the addition of a deep
bass tone, is what the traveler constantly
hears as he wanders through
old towns-In Belgium, and Holland.
The.tpwer of StT Lawrence's,.church
was begun in 1440, and the city placed
a carillon In it In 10(30. In the tower
of the Rotterdam Bourse is a smaller
carillon of 27 hells, also more than
two and a half centuries old. A third
carillon in Rotterdam has Just been
- placed In the new ?lty hall. It Is
Inrgdri both in weight and in number
of bells, than any carillon made in
the last 100 years. .... . __ l_:?,
Cities Own thoc-Carillons.
Rotterdam's thrqp. singing 'towers,
' rising one Hbove the city hall, one
above the Bourse, and^me above the
church of St Ijnvrence. gives one a
clem to the variety ol structures which
may possess a carillon. And further
Investigation shows that similar music j
has floated for more than,

ing the World war), the University library
at Ghent, tbe Wine house at
Zutphen (burned \n 1021), und tbe
Abbey at Mlddelburg, and vVhnt the
spires of not n few of the .historic
churches of the low countries are i
singing towers.
1 Finally, one discovers the Important I
fact that wherever a carillon bangs,
Its bells are owned by the city, Its j
cnrlllonneur Is an olllclal chosen by
city authority, and; the tower Itself
is under city control.
At Delft the carillon Is In tbe spire
of the / new chureli, called "new,"
though over four hundred years old,
because It was begun a century Inter
than the old church, nearby. Here,t
far above us, are., to be seen nearly
four octaves of bells, ranged In rows
above and on both shies of the dial
of the tower clock.
By malclng The Hague his center
a traveler can easily reach every part
of Holland's carillon region In day
Journeys. One morning the trip may
be to Goudt* There, in the great
church, one may see the wonderful
Sixteenth century glass windows, the
finest 1b Holland, aboundingtn glorious
color, allegorical design, and historic
Interest, and listen as the carillon
plays far above.
Only half an hour from The Hague
Is I>elden, where the singing tower
crowns the low and very beautiful
t?wn hall. The Pilgrims, who, after
leaving England, lived for a tlmd at
Leiden, undoubtedly heard this music,
for the city has had a carillon since
1578. Twenty-five miles beyond Leiden
"Is Haarlem. There the carillon
Is In the tower of the old church, famous
for Its organ and models of
historic ships suspended high In the
groined arches of the celling.
Amsterdam, the commercial capital
of Holland, Is first among present-day
Cities In the number of singing towers
'It possesses. The Royal palace,^
the old Mint tower, the Ryks museum,
and the Zuider, the West, and the
old church spires all have carillons.
St. Rombold's Is Best of All.
' Most glorious of all the singing towera
is that which rls^s, above St. Rombold's
noble catfij^l^al at Malines
(Mechlin). A few years ago Malines
celebrated the anniversary of the
years of service of the distinguished
carillonneur Josef Denyn?"tbe Paderewskl
of the carillon." Ancient
guilds with superb banners and modr;
era societies of every kind marched
In the proceBsIom Thousands of ( people
filled the old streets'. Houses and
public buildings everywhere were
gaily decorated. -:
This Impressive pageant w*#^but

of the School of Carillon
Instruction, free to all tbe world; the
meeting of the first Carillon congress

visiting carlllonneurs from France.
Holland,, and Belgium. - ^
I On Sunday noon, In the crowded
town hall, the burgomaster presented
to Denyn a gold medal from the city,
and there the American ambnssndor

"U.h-huh," grunted dud, without

But Hobby was not to be put oft

"I say, daddy, next Thursday is my

"And bow old will my littl^ pal be?"
"Six," Hobby answered importantly.

"The/o's lots of things I'd like to

"But you can't have a lot of.Jhlngs.

Origination of Tern* "Old Glory"
? The origin of the term "Old Glory"
Is contained in a letter written by
Robert s. Runtoul, president of the
Essex institute, Salem, Mass., where
the Hag about which It wus sold is
Still kepi. According to a report, Captniii
Driver of Salem In 1831 commanded
the hrlg Charles Doggett.
which soiled on Its famous voyage
which resulted In the tjeseue of the
mutineers or the British ship Bounty.
A letter acknowledging this service
contains Driver's autograph, dated
November 10, 1880,' and bears rite
words "My ship, my country* and my
Hag, Old Glory." It may be fairly assumed,
therefore, that the phrnse "Old
Glory" originated with Captain Driver.
The flag which was so designated by
him was presented to him by a friend
before starting on this voyage.

milligrams of the most precious substance
in the world wus emptied Into
small boxes, it was only when the observers
were about to give up hope
that the brass tube, about the sly.o of
a match-end, was discovered In the
last box.
The electroscope. It was st^yd, picks
up the radium eihmattons, being so

Although gome natives have lands
