A NEW USE FOR ALUMINIUM.
Pat Gilmore Thinks 1t May Be OF yalu

Pat Gilmore Thinks 1t May Be of Value
In Making Musical Instruments.
Perfection in musical instruments is gen.
orally the result OF skilled workmanship,
and il is comparatively rare that new
material is discovered that will improve the
tone of an instrument, says p S. Gilmore
in the st. Louis Globe Democrat. Since,
however. aluminium has been found suit
able for almost every purpose and an i'm
provement on every known metal for each,
experiments have been made by more than
one thoughtful inventor with view to as
certain whether it could not be used to adj
vantage in making music creating instru-
ments.
That these experiments have been
crowned with success is now reported in
inside circles, and in both pianos and violins
the new metal has been used to alleged ad-
vantage. In the piano it certainly does
produce satisfactory results, with every
possibility of lasting qualities, and perhaps
in the violin it may be the same. though to
a man who looks upon violin with some
thing of sacred glance this appears doubt
full. Still. the inventors claim Is such a
strong and evidently genuine one that 1t
cannot be ignored by even the most skepti-
cal.
