Dep Gulliaa That Enact tha Rola of Organ Pipaa. Ratber uncanny It would be to walk unsuspectingly along some quiet valley path and suddenly hear, from some mountain or cliff overhead, weird, strange sounds that resemble both the tone of a human voice and the note of a stringed Instrument. Yet there are certain parts of the world which boat mountains and bills and cliffs that make these queer noises. In the Pyrenees, for instance, there sre points which seem to throw out wild musical notes when the wind Is blowing from certain directions. The natives, of course, are terribly superstitious regarding them. They Imagine they possess superhuman powers and that thy are listening to the voices of the gods when they hear them. The scientific explanation of the phenomenon is simple enough. If It Is a cliff from which noises emerge the face can be seen to be crossed with deep gullies. These might be compared. In the purpose they serve, to the pipes of an organ. On certain occasions a layer of air seems to get cauffht between the cliff and the trees whifk border It, closing cp tbe opening so that when the wind blows Into the gulH-s music comes forth. So pronounced and continued are the sounds in some of the parts that two of the cliffs have been named "scorers." It is lntersting to note from this how man makes nse of the principles adopted through the ares by nature In the creating of his musical instruments. Sam Francisco Chronicle.
