ORIGINAL PIANO COST WINE CASK

Instrument Was Invented in 1726 by Italian. tv Timet Special CHICAGO, July 23.—Bought at one time for a cask of wine, the •world’s original piano, Invented by Bartolommeo Crlstoforl, an Italian, in 1726, was lost for more than half a century, Its priceless value unknown to Its owners, according to A. G. Gulbransen, Chicago piano manufacturer “Research in connection with the two hundredth anniversary of the invention of the piano has brought to light interesting information about this famous cld instrument,’” said Gulbransen. “It was built in Sienna originally for Ferdinando de Medici, Grand Duke of Tuasncy. Dr. Fab'lo Mocenni, a physician of Florence, purchased it at a public sale from the ducal palace in 1820 among a lot of furniture regarded as worthless Jn return for a cask of wine. "The old piano was in the doctor’s family for years. His little daughter learned to play on it. When she grew up and married the Instrument came into her possession. She was on the point of throwing it out several times. Then one day Cavaliere Puliti, who was investigating the origin of the piano, saw the qld instrument and noticed an inscription on it setting forth that U had been made by Cri3tofori. It was later bought by Crosby Brown and presented to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.”

HOW TO SWIM—NO 5

By Lillian Carmon Down in the Chesapeake Bay every beginner, almost, learns the dogpaddle first. The stroke Is as natural as walking on the hands and knees and hardly requires teaching, because every beginner goes into it naturally. The beginner takes off easily, merely letting'the body fall forward with the arms strptched forward. The kick will give the first propulsion and then the hands alternately go straight forward and are brought downward and backward to the side. , The plane in which the hands move is parallel to the body. When the hands go forward they skim the top of the water with a minimum of resistance. At first a kick will come at every other .stroke, but when one becomes proficient a kick will come as eabh hand cqmes back. (Copyright, 1926, NEA Service, Inc.)

SNAKE DEVOURS SNAKE King Reptile Swallows Large Blue Racer In Cage. Bv United Press HAYS. Kans., July 21. —A snake swallowed another equally as lafge as a free exhibition for a college class in zoology during a class period at the Hays State Teachers’ College here. - Prof. L. B. Wooster, of the biology department, placed a king snake and a blue racer of almost exactly the same size into a glass cage. He then invited his laboratory class to watch the “performance.” Without any preliminaries the king snake promptly wrapped himself about the blue racer and commenced to swallow his companion. The “meal” required about two hours in the taking. In certain parts of Wales mountains are “moving” as a result of mining operations beneath them.
