yioIlns of Porcelain.

Violins and mandolins of porcelain
are the latest things made in Ger
many" "Kuhlow's" reports that a
well-known manufacturer of the Mes
sein okarinas and porcelain organs
has invented a process for the manu-
facture of mandolins and violins from
clay. Some violins have already been
completed. and the inventor has ap-
piled for letters patent in different
countries. Under this process the vio
Inns are cast, and every violin is guar
anteed a success and to be excellent
for producing music. The latter quail
ity constitutes precisely the chief
value of this invention. The porcelain
body. it is claimed. is better able to
produce sound than wooden one,
since it co-operates in the production
of sound, making the notes soft and
full The mandolin. much played in
southern countries, is also made of
porcelain, and the musical sound of
this instrument is likewise stated to
be improved. In shape the porcelain
violin is an exact imitation of the
wooden instrument, but as the porce
lain violin is very suitable for decora-
ton. it is very likely that costly in
struments of luxury will be asked for,
as is the case with the okarinas. 1t is
asserted that the porcelain violins
possess the further advantage over
the wooden ones that they are totally
insensible to the influence of the
weather. That the porcelain violins
are liable to breakage, and that they
are heavy, appears to have been left
unconsidered. They are made in the
earthenware factory, Sornewitz.

Novel Book Holder.

With the idea that anything worth
using is worth paying for, Harvey l..
Fisher of Chicago has invented a coin
controlled book-holder, intended espA
cially for city directories and othe:
public reference works. A company
has already been formed for the intro
duction of this novelty and it is pos
slble that the penny-in-the-slot direc-
tory will in the near future be scat
tered through all the large cities. The
mechanism by which this novelty is
operated is quite simple, comprising
two hinged plates, to which the covers
of the book are secured, with extern
sions at the lower edge of each plate
which protrude into the box below
These extensions engage a spring lock
which prevents the plates being opened
until a coin is inserted. The falling
coin trips lever and allows the book
to lie pulled open for consultation, the
user meanwhile taking care that pres
sure is exerted on one plate or the
other as spring forces them shut
again the instant they are released
This arrangement might be utilized
where the directory of business house
was in demand by outsiders the money
furnishing a remuneration for the ac-
commodation, while the firm would use
blank coins for their own inquiries.
