Various Legends Tell
of the Origin of Music
Music, most authorities agree, hud
a vocul origin. Home believe mun attempted
to Imitate the sounds of birds,
others say Ids melody developed from
hunting calls or other vocul slgnuls
employed in primitive life. A Chinese
legend goes so fur us to declure thai'
a miraculous bird provided the musical
scale, while the Japuneso suy
music was devised hy the gods to
lure the sun-goddess from a cave
where she had retired. The ArabJuu
legend has It that Mo<lhur, u camel
driver, fell from his seat and hurt his
arm. in pp In he culled out "4a,
Joduh." 11Im line voice stirred up the
camels so that they moved more quickly.
So (who co.uhJ not guess the result
!) from that time all camel drivers
sang.
It Is Interesting to note that the
Greek word from which "ynuslc" is
derived was used hy that people to
emhruce ull the arts over which the
Nine Muses were held to preside.
Ilenco, "Music" In those days Included
all those branches of education
concerned with the development of
the min^l as opposed to the body.
What moderns specifically call music,
they referred to as "hurmony."
Morning Glory Blossom
Saved for Count's Eyes
A legend tells of the Introduction
of the morning glory Into Jupan, says
the New York Times. A Japanese
prince heard of a. vino that blossomed
In the eurly morning, and notified
the foreign noblemun who owned
It he wus coming to see it. When he
urrlved the vines no longer were trailing
over the walls. The entire garden
had been uprooted und there wus
no sign of the flower.
Being angered, lie sturtod to leave.
-Having been Invited to tea, however,
his sense of politeness compelled him
to turn hack. On entering the tearoom
he suw a single morning gfiffry
blossom in a vase In a raised alcove.
Inquiring of the noblemun why the
garden had beeu ruined, the prince
received the reply, "I ruined the garden
In order that you might really see
tliQ blossom. If It were In plenty, you
could not really have observed It so
well us you did this single last flower
saved for your eyes alone."
Coleridge's Expensive Innocence
Material things bothered Coleridge
little more than they do most other
poets and It Is said that as a result
of his aerial abstraction he came to
attend Jesus college, Cambridge, as
innocence personified. One of his
biographers_rglalea__how the young
man was accosted by a polite Interior
decorator requesting, to be permitted
to fix up the new pupil's rooms. "How
would you like them furnished?" the
tradesman asked in his most solicitous
manner. "Just as you please, sir," replied
Coleridge, thinking the man was
employed hy the college. The decorntor
took the young man at his large
word and did a thoroughly good Job
of It. Coleridge moved In and was
well pleased with his quarters. A few
days later lie received a bill, the
amount of it making him gasp, but
seeing where the error was he did
uot complain.
Thought St atm New Each Day
Met i i>(|uru>> t?l < bins (not to be confused
with the four other Grecian
philosophers of the same name) was
a complete skeptic, lie accepted the
Democrilian theory of atoms and void
and also indie veil In u plurality of
worlds, but he had a very ingenious
theory of his ow n hy which he staunchly
stood. He declared the stip-s were
formed from day to day hy the moisture
In the air under the heat of the
sun. His radical skepticism also is
seen in one of his writings quoted by
Cicero: "We know nothing, no, not
even whether we know or not!" ills
theory about the stars drew a lot of
contemptuous criticism, but he came
hack at his critics with, "Everything
Is to each person only what it appears
to him to bo."
