holds one of the most prominent places. This to musical instruments, and the latest contribu-
tion is a rotary fiddle bow, which is the product
of T. Qualmquist, of Lesueur. It isn't a bow at
all, but a wheel about eight inches in diameter,
constructed of rawhide and made to revolve by
pedal and flexible shaft in the same manner that
a dentist runs his drill and other tooth-torturing
contrivances.
"The great drawback to violin music," accord-
ing to the wise inventor, "is the constant see-
saw back and forth which the player is com-
pelled to indulge in in order to produce the
music. He 'fiddles' slowly when he wants a slow
tune and saws with lightning-like rapidity when

with the fingers, that the speed can be instantly
changed from fast to slow, or the other way, as

It can be made to touch one string only, or
more than one, exactly as a bow is used, and by
holding it erect, or tipping it to one side, the
full breadth of the edge of the wheel is brought
in contact with the strings, or only the sharp
edge of the perimeter.
