Origin of the Banjo.

In the early part Of the nineteenth
century in the town Of BanJoemas, on
the island of Java, negro native de-
termined to construct musical instru-
ment for his own use. Taking cheese
box and heading 1t with goatskin, he
ran handle through it. and, adapting
violin strings tuned to the first, third,
fifth and eighth notes of an octave, he
chrlstened 1t a banjo, from the first
two syllables Of his native town. Grad
ual improvements on this rough and
ready instrument were made, and about
the middle OF the century it crossed the
Atlantic and, though unpopular in Lon
don at first, soon became well liked
