WIND INSTRUMENTS PRESERVE LIFE.
Noted Authorities State That Seventy-Five
Years Is the Average of Ophicleide Players.
A. D. Rogers has been studying the effect of
wind instruments on the life of musicians. The
average life of the wind instrument artist is 63,
while that of others is 02. Thirty-four per cent,
of the former category attain 70 years. Perform-
ers on the flute in Dr. Rogers' "echelle de lon-
gevite" reach, on the average, the age of 61, while
the hautbois executive lives two years longer.
Buglers go two years better, and the clarinet player
lives till he is 65. He of the cornet only fails the
allotted span by one year. The ophicleide artist
beats them all. His time of life is from 75 to 80.
There should be no hesitation after this.
PATENTS FOLDING VIOLIN BOW.
John D. Adams, Phoenix, Ariz., has received a
patent on a folding violin which has aroused
siderable curiosity, and which is described as a
violin bow divided adjacent to the frog into sec-
tions, a socket on the inner end of each of the sec-
tions, a hinge connection between the adjacent ends
of the sockets, a ferrule slidable over the sockets
for locking the sections in alignment, said ferrule
when in locked position being adjacent to the frog
and acting as a grip.
