the rough. Very old masts are excellent for
this purpose, and Mr. Furey has made one
of his best violins from a piece of mast from
Commodore Perry's ship. Old curly maple
furniture yields the best backs for violins.
The making of a violin, as done by Mr.
Furey, is a process requiring weeks and
months of the most careful and painstaking
work by hand, for on this depends the rich,
round and mellow tone that makes the per-
fect violin the king of all musical instru-
ments.
Stradivarius said, toward the close of his
life, that he had not touched the point of per-
fection that he desired in a violin, for there
were three defects he had never been able
to overcome. Mr. Furey set about conquer-
ing these, forty years ago, and believes he
has mastered all but one absolutely, and that
one can only be overcome by modifying the
time-honored form of the instrument.
His friends confidently believe that the

are insensible to the beauties of good music.
For Automatically Operated Musical Instruments
Mr. Duss is not only a conductor but a com-
poser of undoubted merit, some of his com-
positions having attracted the attention of
bandmasters and others. In the programs
that are presented at St. Nicholas Garden
his marches and descriptive pieces are inter-
spersed with heavier compositions.
Among the soloists are B. Kryl, cornet;
Gardie Simons, trombone; P. C. Funaro,
double bell euphonium; Mr. Thomae, basso.
The first three use "artist finish" Conn instru-
ments. Mr. Duss, in writing to Mr. Conn
of his band, under date of May 3d, 1902,
says: "The Gold Double Bell Euphonium

the most perfect instrument in the euphonium
line that has ever come to my notice."
In addition to the Conn instruments used
by the soloists of the band there are three
Conn cornets, one flugel horn, two trumpets,
two euphoniums, three trombones, three sax-
ophones, one bass. It is the hope of Mr. Duss
of 1901 surpasses any of its predecessors. Progressive
