AN OLD ART.
The Manufacture Of Strings for Musical In-
struments Quite Ancient.

The Manufacture of Strings for Musical In-
struments quite Ancient
The manufacture Of strings FOR
musical instruments has been carried
on from time immemorial In some OF
the small villages In the Abruzzi The
Neapolitan provinces maintain their
superiority in the production OF this
article. They require the greatest
care and dexterity on tho part OF the
workmcn. The treble strings are par.
ticularly difficult to make, and are
made at Naples, probably because the
Neapolitan sheep, from their small
size and leanncss, afford the best raw
material. They are made from the
small intestines. which must be very
carefully scraped. The intestines are
then stepped in alkaline leys, clarified
with little alum, for four or five days,
until we'll Lleached and swollen.
They are next drawn through an
open brass thimblc, and pressed
against IL with tho nail in order to
smooth and equal the surface, after
which they are washed, spun or twist
ed and sulphuratcd during two hours.
They are finally polished by friction
and dried. Sometimes they are sui.
phured twice or thrice before being
dried, and are polished between horse
hair cords. The strings manufactured
in Italy are noted for their strength,
transparency, brilliancy and clearness
Of tone. Their manufacture was in
troduced into France by q Neapoli.an
nobleman in 1896, who established q
m anufactory ut Lyons. This industry
Is carried on in various other towns In
Italy-namcly. Goblio, Foligno, Boz
logna. Venice, Verona and Bassano.-

only the next day when Pat, busting
out the church. heard the ringing of
the telephone bell. Taking down the
receiver, Patrick was pleased to hear
Father 0'Halloran's familiar voice
asking him something or other about
his work. In essaying to answer he
remembered that his reverence was q
long way of and therefore he shouted
into the transmitter ut the top Of his
voice.
~ don't understand you, Patrick"
said the telephone.
Pat tried again with no better sue

splitting the telephone. but again
came Father O'Halloran's voice, ~
