Rockefeller has been "done" in oil! It appears that the Standard Oil genius has sat -unknow- ingly, I'll be bound -to John K. Winkler, a knight of the pen, or type- writer, and the result is a work of art, entitled "John D. --a Portrait in Oils." But what especially interests one is that Winkler- dubs -John° D. an 'Inveterate raconteur." I never even suspected it. One of Mr. Rockefeller's favorite :stories (says Winkler) is about an old eiegro, arraigned in court on a charge <of vagrancy, who gave his name as John D. Rockefeller. Scratching his grizzled poll in perplexity at the out - 'burst of laughter, the old darky ex- aclasimed: "Yassah, dat's mah real name an' it'll been a trial toe me all mah life, judge yuh honah." Another is the tale of the timid -soul whose wife drove him under the 'hied with the blunt end of a broom. Me peeked out and when she threat- ened further punishment, he said stalwartly: "You can't bulldoze mei So long ns I've got the spirit of a man I'll take ..a peek." r 0 IBet the oil king's pet yarn, ac- eording to Winkler, concerns a nerv- ous woman passenger on a train who, gas a climax to a hundred foolish ques- tions, asked fhe conductor: 'Conductor, why do you wave your 'hand when you want the train to -start?" 'Oh," replied the tormented man, 'when 1 wave my hand that means get to blazes out of here." Someone who overheard the con- «ductor's tart answer warned him 'that the nervous woman was the wife orf a director. "Phew!" exclaimed the conductor,' -"guess I better apologize." He paused at the woman's seat, took off his hat and began a fulsome ne,' •'•Inge% "She didn't se - r anything," explhins John D. "She just waved her hand." Pouring oil on troubled water.

SIXTEEN DIFFERENT USED IN ROYAL YORK WOODS ORGAN auoT 4n f lnierr , R tUo eeo rpt 4a the Ron orrl lfiou to 1^19, Alato l the fuaaaialaiu a of the baa hiptel maize is mere noticeable thAn the huge pipe organ whieln its plm ¢1' tha r concert hall on the darns shine &Dot<. This stately room ill be to seuanca the very heart of theonildirng. It its capable of seating 2,0OO pomp) e and will be the scene of many notable. musical events. ]Its centre of iunter- eat is, of course, the organ, w ch has already attracted the enthusiastic. praise and admiration iraation of Canadian musicians. Those, who have touched its keys and heard its deep voice spealr, shy that it will compare with any on this continent for quality of tone. It is the largest organ in Can- ada, was built in Canada, in one of the largest organ factories in the world, and is all the more impressive to those who hear it on that account. Of all the ffurnishings of the new hotel, none is snore truly Canadian in construction and inspiration than this triumph of an Canadian workshop. For the organ was built by those sincere Canadians, Messrs. Samuel and Clever Casavant, in the little French-Canadian town of St. Hya- cinthe, Qile+bec. Its building is to date the high light in a Canadian indus- trial romance which has both its artis- tic and commercial side, for it was created in workshops (factory does not seem the proper word to use, so intimate is the connections between the workers and the instruments they create) opened just fifty years ago in a small building on the site of the present extensive ones by the two brothers, then young men in their early twenties. Those what worked upon it, are practically all Canadians who have spent their lives in these workshops and frequently have their sons labor- ing beside them to -day. Many of them have records of twenty-five and thirty years service with the firm, and they are a conspicuous group on ac- count of the close and deep concern which each man has in the completed instrument. In the organ building, it was the group of expert designers, workmen, voicers, and testers, who gave to this Canadian product the quality which makes it suitable for a building such as the Royal York. The Casavant brothers and, those whom one feels must be called their fellow workmen rather than em- ployees, have built more than 1,000 organs for churches, concert halls and private residences during the past fifty years. Their organs are well known in the United States and re- cognized there as instruments of fine quality. From this little French- Canadian town, they have sent others to Paris, to Japan, to South Africa, to Jerusalem, and many other far- off countries where the finest music- ians of the modern world have ex- claimed at their perfection. Their success is so truly Canadian in its working out that other Canadians should know something about it, and take an even deeper interest in the accomplishment of their fellow citi- zens in the little Quebec town. Details of the construction of an organ such as that in the Royal York must be seen to be appreciated. Those who step behind the organ face and invest`(gate the bewildering array of pipes of both wood and steel which are arranged in the 6 organs which really make up the complete organ, will not be surprised to learn that 7 railway cars were needed to carry the parts from the factory to the room where they now stand. Nor that the construction on it started many months ago. There are 52 opera- tions in the making of the keyboard alone. Over 300 miles of copper wire run from the switchboard back of the console to the thousands of deli- cate electro -magnets which are at- tached to the chests which regulate the supply of air. The intricacy, the immensity, and at the same time, the delicacy of the art which is called for in the construction, will be a revela- tion to those who investigate it. When one learns that every part of this construction was assembled in the workshops at St. Hyacinthe and care- fully proved and tested before it was removed to Toronto, where another six weeks was needed for the re- assembling, one will see that no care is too great to exercise in the at- tempt to achieve perfection. I recently had the greatly appreci- ated opportunity of visiting the pretty little town on the banks of the Yam- aska where these organs are made, and of being shown through the work shops by one of the enthusiasts who create the instrument. Here more than two hundred men are quietly and carefully assembling the parts of the organs which will be placed in various settings. There are many points about the construction of an organ which make their appeal to those who like to know how things are made. Those, whose main interest is woods, may care to hear of how many and of what nature are the woods which go into the construction of an instru- ment such as the one in the Royal York. No person can visit the Casavant workshops and listen to those con- nected with the firm explain their work without realizing that one of the principals behind everything is perfection of material. And to those who delight in good woods, the sight of the storage and drying depart- ments, where sawn lumber in piles and stacks is seasoning and drying gives a definite sense of pleasure. This section of the workshops is an extremely important one. For an organ such as that placed in the Roy- al York some 215,000 feet, board mea- sure, of lumber is used. Over 500,- 000 feet, board measure, of woods of all kinds are used by the firm in a year. In the yards and storage rooms are many thousand of dollars worth of wood in different processes of seasoning. The preparation of it is one of the exacting piiocesses in the }milling of an organ end the great- est care is exercised in this prepara- tion. No wood that has not been in stock for, at least, five or six years in either yard, kiln, or storeroom, is tis - ed. The woodworkers of the firm are r. There are many particulars about the coriatruction of the new Royal York hotel, recently opened in Toron- to by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company whicji have an attraction for men interested in woods. Panel- ling, flooring, trims, etc., of the most perfect quality procurable are to be seen there in settings which adequate- ly demonstrate expert workmanship and even craftsmanship.

They do not depend on any middleman to provide their qual- ity. A shipment of a desired wood is bought in entirety. Then it is gone over carefully and expertly. Boards with the slightest imperfec- tion, some only noticeable to these experienced judges, are set aside for use in some part of the instrument where quality of tone is not called for. Only that, which is absolutely perfect in grain and fibre, is chosen for the organ proper. It is a delight to see these woods and also to see the pride and interest with which the workers handle them. Mention has been already made of the fact that most of the workers in this department have been there for many years. This experience is of the greatest value when the location of an organ is under consideration. The workers, here, too, as elsewhere in the shops, are intimately acquaint- ed with the construction and design of the organ they are building. I sarw a specification which called for so many feet of a certain wood for a job. But, on the sheet, was the add- ed information that the wood was re- quired for the wind chest. Only ex- perience would make the worker a- ware of the nature of the require- ments for a particular part. of the construction such as this. .As in all departments of the shops, the second generation is frequegtly employed in the same department and many un - Tia official secrets are handed down by father to son regarding facts learned by experiment or experience. Apart, however, from this element which makes the selection of suit- able woods almost infallible, the', woods themselves are the finest that can be bought. Whenever possible, Canadian woods are used. There are sixteen different kinds of wood used in building an organ and of these, thirteen are indigenous to Canada. They are not all procurable here, but they would grow here if planted, and they would have a considerable com- mercial value. These woods may `le listed as fol- lows: 1. Pine -White. This most import- ant lumber tree is used extensively in the organs. It is soft, easy to work, easy to season, and holds itk shape as well as any other conifer- ous wood. Pine is used for pipes, reservoirs, blowers, frame -work, keys, swell boxes. Occasionally red pine is used for frame -work on account of its strength and hardness. 2. Basswood. This wood, which is regrettably growing scarcer in Can- ada, is used largely throughout an organ, in the case, concussion hel- lavws, underboarde of wind chests, drawstop boxes, reservoirs, sometimes for blowers, curtain boxes and other similar parts. 3. Spruce -white, red and black. This wood is net used very extensive- ly. White spruce is used for the large 16 and 32 foot pedal pipes when the proper dimensions can be secur- ed. 4. Whitewood or poplar. This wood is largely used but is mostly imported. Many of the small me- chanical parts of an organ are made of this wood. 5. Maple -sugar and silver maple. Sugar maple is very hard, strong and stiff and is used more extensively than any other kind of wood. The Silver Maple is used when the Sugar Maple cannot be secured hut is not as satisfactory. The maples are used in parts where the minimum warping and maximum strength are required, such as the pedal' keys, drawgtop rods, special pipes, contact rollers of electric switchboard, combination racks equipment, coupling bars of electric switchboard, dowels. Wood- en dowels are generally used in or- gan construction as they can be more readily used in less accessible places than nails or bolts. They cost less and have greet strength. 6. Ash --Black, White, Red and Green. For all exterior work, plebe or decorative, on the case or console of an organ, Black Ash is the variety most employed. ' The latter two varieties are used as substitutes for White Ash when it cannot he secured. 7. Birch -Paper and Yellow. This important Canadian hardwood is largely used as it is aoft and yet tough, compact and easily worked. It is used extensively in an organ in the case, frames, blocks, on caps and pipes, and small pneumatics of anCa auxiliary chests. 8. Beech. This wood is not large- ly used 'but is sometimes selected for mechanical parts. 9. Elm -White. This wood is oc- casionally used in cases, but mora frequently for crating. 10. Chestnut. This wood is '.:term used for the case and exterior of the console, the close texture and grain causing it to take glue well. 11. Butternut. The organ nodi console cases are frequently m.,.le of this wood, and it is often used throughout the mechanism Yelhera°s trueness of shape is necessarq. little veneer is used in the workehopn is made of butternut. 12. Black Walnut. This is only used in the exterior portions of the organ and console. 13. Ebony. This is used for thss black keys of the manuals, the Iced -- els, and the stop nobs, also for deli- cate moulding in the panelling of tbs. case and console. 14. Oak. Used in exterior deserts. - tion. 15. Rose African. This is ust for stop nabs. 16. Mahogany. Used for in= on console, for envelope ease of connoltee fronting, and sometimes entire otatta case.
