GUIDE'S RUSE TO SAVE HIS CLIENT.

WARMING ABUSE.”

GENEVA, June 8th.

The death bas just occurred at Zermatt of Maurice Inderbinen, one of the most famous Swiss guides.

The best story illustrating his resource is the following:-

M. Inderbinen and an Englishman wern descending the atterhorn when they were suddenly Maitaken by a violent snowstorm near the summit.".

"

The Englishman's strength decreased as the strength of the blizzard increased. and he finally fell down exhausted in the snow. Inderbinen "first urged his client to make a last effort, and then swore at Lim in three languages, but it had no effect. The Englishman repeated that he was down and out, and begged the guide to save his own life.

A. Ellis. -African music is full of pro blems. To this day there are types of instruments which have been borrowed from Asia in the dim past and from which the European forms have been laboriously evolved.

In the Cameroons there is a species of hand-harp which has its counterpart in the ancient Egyptian harps dug from thousand-year-old graves The most pri- mitive of all stringed instruments is found in Africa. The Thorbecke Ex- pedition, discovered in East Africa a double marimba, or xylophone which was unique. The typical scale of African music is petatonic, similar to that known to the ancient Chinese, Celts, Greeks and other primitivo folk cultures; it, has left its traces in many European folk songs. In connection with this scale there are intervals which seem to have been influenced by the quarter-tone system of Arabic music. Polyphony, in the European sense, is unknown to the African; their music might be called heterophone. On a given theme the players build melodic and rhythmic variations with the greatest freedom.
