Violin Varnish.

violins," he said, depended on the
varnlsh great deal. The secret has
been lost. We don't know today how
the old varnishes we're made. Charles
Reade, who went into this subject
deeply. claimed that oil with gum in
solution, and color evaporatei in spir-
It, were the bases of the best varnish.
But whether he was right or wrong
no one knows. A violin consists OF
from 80 to 10 pieces. We make violins
today Just as they were made in the
past, but we don't yaInish them the
same. Some varnishes contained
ground amber. Recently, TO the ruin
Of a priceless Guarnerius, its varnish
was scraped off and analyzed. and an
abundance of amber powder was
found. ."-Philadelphia Record.
