Perhaps no musical instrument is as responsive to the human touch. Chimes, marimbas, harps, vibra-harps, celestes, xylophones, bells, glockenspiels — the range of instruments is limited only by the prices of the instrument installed. And each instrument must be as finely constructed as the instruments used by the orchestra. J. C. Deagan, Inc., 1770 Berteau Avenue, Chicago, 111.

A Organ Heaters T3EACTION upon organ music and the instrument itself of cold weather and dampness has led to the development of organ chamber heaters which keep the temperature in the chamber at a uniform degree, preventing loss of pitch, and deterioration of the organ. Electric heaters with thermostat control are used for this purpose. Organ chambers are usually tuned at a temperature of from 65 to 70 degrees. If the temperature is allowed to drop 10 degrees below the tuning temperature the metal pipes become flat by a quarter or half tone. A 10 degree rise above the tuning temperature will cause the same pipes to become sharp and further rise puts many of them out of pitch. The effect of dampness is to cause a swelling and consequent deterioration of wooden chests, pipes and other parts in the chambers. Since organ chambers are not standard in size the amount of heating equipment must be determined for each chamber. The larger the chamber or the greater the area exposed outside walls, the larger must be the wattage of the heater installed. Heaters should be mounted near the bottom of exposed or outside wall so that rising warm air from heater will counteract the descending columns of chilled air. Thermostats should be located at the point the best circulation takes place and out of reach of direct heat from heaters.

Ornamental fountains may be obtained in many sizes and in many forms. The water pressure is supplied by a small pump operated from light socket current, the same water being used over again in most instances. Batchelder-Wilson Company, 2633 Artesian, Los Angeles, Cal.
