THE WORLD'S GREATEST ORGAN
Among tho newer things of which tho city' of Sydney. is, most proud is tho great organ. It is said by the careless to bo the largest in . the world; but that is a mistake. There was a greater at the Exposition of St. Louis, and,that ono still exists. The. Sydney organ has 128 stops; the St. Louis organ UO. Next conies tho organ in tho Cathedral of Rica, 121 stops. After that, tho big organ jt Garden City, Long Island, 111 stops. Anyhow, the St. Louis monster is easily the largest. It is capable of producing 17,179,869,183 distinct tonal effects. At the rate of one a minute, tho production of them would tako 32,600 years. That seems a long time. But if you put 32,600,000 years into tho quest, you -would utterly fail to find a finer, more delicate, bettor flavoured, wholcsomer tea than Suratura. You can get it at any good grocers, and it costs-no more than tho ordinary teas. This 'is a wonderful century. ' 6
