tion of the real thing that you would
scarcely believe an automatic device was
producing the notes if you could not see
the mechanism.
It would be difficult to explain all the
parts of this instrument. Suffice it to say,
that there are strings, a belt bow, a frame,
and self-acting devices by which the bow
is made to sweep over the strings and pro-
duce almost any tune desired. By a sys-
tem of levers the machine can be made to
play in any time the operator wishes.

REVIEW
Wollenhaupt was a member of a musical
family, his father and brother being well
known violinists and composers. His col-
lection of violins was quite extensive. One
of the instruments he valued at $2,000, and
according to a nephew the collection con-
tained a genuine Stradivarius. Photo-
graphs of several of his violins are contain-
ed in an album of the world's famous vio-
lins.
Besides the violins Wollenhaupt left a
valuable collection of music. Among the
musical appliances that he invented was
one to increase the resonance of a violin.

Francke, of Montclair, N. J., and several
nephews and nieces.
WHERE OLD PIANOS AND ORGANS GO.
Wilmington, Del., is becoming known as
a great market for old style pianos and or-
gans, and every week the Wilmington
Steamboat Company carries a consignment
of such relics of former greatness to that
city. Pianos that cost hundreds of dollars
are now being sold at almost any price and
one Wilmington merchant who buys all
such pianos and organs that come his way
is reaping a nice profit just from the ma-
hogany that was used in their construc-
tion.
