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-

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.

Study of tho Crosby-Urown collection In
tho Metropolitan Museum of Art roveals
the uso of practically all the materials that
havo entered Into the manufacture of flddlo
strings. 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. In
China and Japan tho strings nre generally
or biik. wiro strings, common on Instru
ments of tho dulcimer kind, which are
struck, and guitar kind, which aro plucked

ments, but only In a sort of secondary
capacity. Thoy aro strotched under the
