There nre two principal groups: Aug kor Vat. the temple, and Angkor Thorn, the town. The word Angkor is believed to lui a native corruption of the Sanskrit Nagara, meaning capital.

It Is said of him that he will sit on ids native ice fpf hours listening to tlie graphophone. Ills own music lie makes on an instrument which consists of a skin tightly stretched over the frame of a hoop?half drum .and half tambourine. Eight players of eight of these instruments make an Eskimo orchestra. With each man striking the one note of ids instrument with u rod, the eight notes of the octave ure produced. Also, the musiciun sings as he plays. Needless to say, the people nourished on this music are 'unitized by the more civilized music, and it is said of them that they greatly appreciate graphophone records of singers. Strangely enough, too, they prefer most other._ music to jazz. '/?* " _______ Antique Dealers' Tribunal One of the strangest tribunals in England sits at regular intervals in a upper room in St. James' street West, in the center of the great art world of London. It is the antique dealers' "High Court of Justice," to which any of the 550 members of the British Antique Dealers' association has the right to appeal. Its judges, who sometimes number as many as 20, include some of the world's greatest experts on precious stones, old china, tapestries, pictures and antique furniture. Disputes arising out of the sale of an antique of more than ordinary importance are often referred to the court for arbitration, and if they think lit, the Judges have the right to call in independent art experts. It is to protect the interests of antique dealers and safeguard the honor of their Industry that this tribunal has been established.?ilariford Courier.
