In Europe mill Annum the Apnclie linlliins Whence (lime (lie Unit Some .Modern Production. Tho Jurors who distributed the awards In dsns No. 17 at tho Universal exposition In Paris last year were nil men of e.xpcrleneo In musical matters, tho majority of them manufacturers of pianofortes, violins nnd wood and brass wind Instruments, yet n lit tlo flutter of surprise went around the table when an Austrian exhibitor laid bo fore them a couplo of violins, fair In ex terior and apparently sound and substan tial In conttruetlon, and Informed them that their trade price was CO francs, say $10 tho dozen. Then the Hungarian Juror verified tho statement of tho exhibitor, and, since he had been sent out by his own gov ernment to Investigate the Industry with a view to Its Introduction In Hungary, ho explained how tho Instruments nro made. They aro tho product of communal labor In many villages and rural districts In Aus tria, but moro especially In the highlands of (lermany. Hundreds, perhaps thou sands of families co-oporato In their manu facture. In one household men, women nnd children arc engaged in the carving of scrolls and necks; In another they fashion backs and bellies; In nnothor sides, ribs. soiindpostB, bridges, pegs, etc. Thcso va rious parts, all mado to scale, of course, aro purchased by contractors, who havo them put together In other centers of In dustry, nnd Introduce) them to commerce. Violins of this character nro not un known to the Amorlcnn markot. relates tho Now York Tribune, but freight charges, Import dutleB und dealers' profits raise tholr cost, so that It Is doubtful If ono enn bo bought at retail for leas than $5, yet this Instrument contains all tho material that n violin mado by n Strndlvnrlus or Ouarncrlus docs, disposed In tho samo fashion. Why ono of tho latter class should fetch ono thousand times moro than one of tho former In tho markets of tho civilized world Is a mystery that lies nil but hid den from tho discernment of tho unin formed. Ono Is the Ingenious product of tho mere handicraftsman; tho other of ln oxpllcablo genius. Mtcrulnre of (In- Violin. If one were to search through tho world of. music for the most convincing evidence of tho difference In adaptability from a musical point of view between tho civilized peoples of Asia nnd Kuropo nothing could ho found to equal tho violin and Its litera ture. It Is an old scholastic habit to go to tho east for tho origin of all things that embellish our civilization for music, poetry, the plastic arts and nil tho sciences. From tho cast, ton, It Is said, camo tho people who aro now dominant In all thcso things, us In all else. Some day, mayhnp, tho popular view will change and tho cradle of civilization will bo sought In northorn or northwestern Europe, nnd wc shall traco tho course of culturo along tho shores of llroat Britain, France, Spain mid northern Africa, sco It eddy and whirl In tho valley of tho Euphrates and start again toward the west. Then, perhaps, somo of tho mysteries connected with musical Instru ments may bo cleared up and wo may form a better theory than any which prevails now concerning tho genesis of tho violin. Tho featuru of the violin which differenti ates it from all other musical Instruments, savo those of Its own tribe, Is tho bow by means of which tones aro Generated from tenso strings through friction. Students nro puzzled by tho fact that In nono of tho monuments of clnsatcal antiquity, neither In mural paintings nor In sculptures, has a representation of anything taking tho place of a flddlo bow been found. If such ncgatlvo cvldenco Is conclusive, then neither Assyrians nor Hebrews, neither Egyptians nor Crooks nor Romans know might of tho prlnclplo of tho flddlo bow. It Is becauso of this that musical antiquaries scout tho story that Nero fiddled whllo gazing on burning Homo. Ho played the bagpipe-, tljo wntcr organ or tho lyro, say they. So far as the Hebrews aro con cerned Whlston hns troubled youthful In vestigators a llttlo by piling up violin bows as well as thousands of trumpets In the tcmplo at Jerusalem In his translation of Joaephus, but this Is a blunder duo to Whtston's plentiful lack of musical knowl edge. Tho word used by Josophus was "plektron," which was tho nnmo of a bit of wood, shell or metal used to pluck tho strings of an Instrument not to rub them. Tho Invention of tho violin bow, nnd there fore of the earliest form of the violin, Is claimed by tho Hindoos, who say that tho rudo instrument callod "Havanastron," still to bo found occasionally In tho hands of mendicant monks, was Invented In tholr country not less than f.,000 years ago. Thooo who support this theory call Into tho witness stand three Sanskrit words, which they say mean flddlo bow In effect, which nro found In tho writings to which an ngo of from l.GOO to 2,000 years Is attributed. They also say that tho simplest form of bowed Instrument found In China, tho "Ur. Men" ("two-string"), which Is nn exact counterpart of tho Hindoo "navannstron," was admittedly Introduced Into China by the , nuddhlst monks, nut If tho principle of tho fiddle bow was known In India 5,000 years ago It is passing strango that so nr- The genuine all bear and are sold with fl and Sizes.

For salo by MILTON HOUEItS & SON, llth tittle a people i the Creeks never assimi lated It. Home Hurl)- Forms, It Is very likely, however, that in the Havanastron nnd Ur-hlen wo have one of the earliest forrn3 of the violin. This flddlo Is a small cylinder of wood, with one end covered by a tightly drawn bit of snakcskln, on which rests a tiny bridge. A round stick Is thrust th'rough tho middle of the cyl inder. It terminates In a four-sided head, through which aro thrust long pegs for tuning tho two strings (of waxed silk In China, of gut In India) with which tho In strument Is strung. Those strings are drawn toward the neck of the Instrument by a bit of silk twine. Thcro Is no finger board, but the strings, which nro tuned In the Interval of a fifth, nro stopped for different tone's by n pressure of tho fingers of the left hand. They are set to vibrating by a very rudo bow, u twig of bamboo bent by a tuft of horsehair with a knot at each end. This tuft, rubbed with rosin, moves between tho two strlugs, and Is brought Into contact with one or tho other of tho strings of the Instrument at will. In tho specimen owned by tho writer the rosin seems to have been melted and permitted to harden In a lump on the cylinder, so that overy movomcnt of tho bow supplied It anew with the material that enables tho horsehair of tho violin bow to "blto" tho strings. It Is tho Ur-hlen that shrieks like n lost soul or squeals like a pig under a gate In tho theatrical orchestras which may occasionally be heard In tho Bowery. An Oileiitnl Hollo. First cousin to tho Havanastron and Ur- hleti 19 the Kcmangch, whoso original home, to Judge by Its name and tradition, was Tersla, but which Is common now to Arabia, Egypt, Turkey nnd other Oriental countries as well. Never mind Its natno wherever you turn In the east you will find It, with Its body of cocoanut shell, covered wllh flshskln or snakeskln or wood. Its resting peg of Iron or elegantly carved Ivory, Us thick strings of twisted horse hair and Its bow of bamboo or ash, with a tuft of horsehair held by n knot at the point and hitched to a ring by ri short leather bond at tho heel. With two or thrco fingers against the Inside of tho leather band and ring the player regulates the tension of tho horsehair to produco effects. Its companion In tho Oriental countries Is tho "Hcbab," which also has a string or strings of horsehair, but a body consisting of n woodon frame, with belly and back of parchment. It Is this In strument to which tho improvisers and story tellers of Egypt chant such talcs as whllcd away the time of Ilnroun-al-Haschld. It Is also tho Instrument, still In uso In a prlmttlvo form, that may be 2,000 years old or more, which Is Bet down as tho progenitor of tho Rebec, tho ad mired Instrument of tho provencal trouba dours, from which, It Is said, camo the violin which wo know. Crusadors brought It from tho east, say somo speculators; tho Moors carried It Into Spain, say others. Perhaps thoy did and perhaps, also, tho flddlo was Invented Independently by tho peoples of Europe Tho Germans had a flddlo In tho ninth century and thcro aro references to tho flddlo bow In German writings of tho twelfth and thirteenth cen turies. Volker, a character In tho "Nlbclungenlled," fiddles all night long whllo on guard In front of tho palace of King Etzel and when tho massacre of the Burgundlans begins he turns his flddlo bow which has n sword blado for a stick, and plays tho maddest of his tunes about the heads of the murderous Huns. Tho Anglo Saxon "flthele" Is mentioned In a manu script of the eleventh century and pictured In carvings of tho twelfth. Tho Welsh very enterprising whon It comes to push ing clnlma for original discovery, believe tho original flddlo to havo been tholr "crwth" (n name which has vowcU enough when you hear n Welshman pronounce It) tho 1 8'iumcnt which got Into English mornturo as the "crowd." Spain had i violin In tho twelfth century. All these In slrumcnts bnd bodies of wood, with sound holes of various shapes In tho bellies, but thoy wcro cumbersomo nnd tho bows with which they wero played clumsy con trivances until tho present form wore set tled upon, nbout two centuries ngo. Since then thero has been no change In tho structuro of tho violin, but note tho differ ence between tho east and tho west; tho development or tho violin was arrested after It had been wrought to such a perfec tion, from overy point of view, that It Is mnrvel to the artistic and scientific man nllko; tho Oriental flddlo, In nil Its types. Is today what It was 2,000 years ago a relic or prlmltlvo civilization In respect to form material and capacity for expression. Klilillo StrliiH".

On some particularly rudo African Instruments thorc nre rtringa of cow's hair and nlso, as In Arabia, of horso hair. In India and olsewherc thero aro strings mado rrom tno Intestines of tho gazelle These nre practically the same as the European strings which nro called "catgut" on tho lticus a non lucendo principle, bolng mado of tho Intestines of sheep, not of cats.

This extremely Interesting dcvlco, which Is tho characteristic feature of tho Hardangcr tlddlo of Norway and tho French viol d'amour (board at tho opera In the obllgato to uaoul's romance in the first act of "I.es Huguenots"), Is found In tho Hindoo Taoo nee nnu unuan, instruments mat aro plucked, nnd Sarungco, a bowed Instrument Prices From $5 to $50.

This Is vegetabt fibre. There ore a number of Instruments In which tho strings aro split from th tough outer covering of the wood which constitutes tho body, nnd raised on bridge, tho tuning being accomplished by lashing other bits of fibre around tho strings and body so that they can be pushed along to Increase the tension and shorten the vibrating segment In these Instruments wo sco tho device fa miliar to tho country lad who makes fiddle out of a Joint of rlpo cornstalk.
