THE FIRST OUTDOOR PIPE ORGAN<br />

In the new four-million-dollar public park of San Diego a mammoth pipe <strong>org</strong>an has been constructed—the first of its<br />

kind to be built in the open air. The <strong>org</strong>an, a gift to the city from John D. and Adolph B. Spreckels, millionaire<br />

by two 250-horsepower engines, and has a cruising<br />

radius of 200 miles. It can carry 500 tons of kelp.<br />
