 special from New York, speaking of 8 meeting of fscientists, has the following rolf erence to an aluminium violin which will interest musicians:
 The scientists were then treated to a lecture on aluminium violins by Prof. Alfred Springer of Cincinn natl, which will be of interests to musicians throughout the world- During the lecture musician played softly on an aluminium violin. The entire instrument WAS shaped like a wooden violin. The body Is made of aluminium, but the neck and keys are wooden. "My experie1ce, ' said Professor Springer, "in- cline me to believe that the real cause of the Superiority of the old wooden instruments over new ones is not 80 much in the in. creased elasticity of the wood, or the com position of the varnisb, as In the peculiar warping of the wood to a higher arch, n buokling caused by the position of the holes aud soundposts which may be ob- tained by using aluminium. It was pre- dicted by some musicians present that in a few years aluminium violins will be substi- tuted for the wooden instruments.
 Professor Springer is m inventor and is well known in Birmingham. |. He is a cousin of MT. R. H. Fries.
