The Making Of Music Rolls

thousands of persons who own me-
chanical piano players must have won
dered how the long strips of perfo-
rated music are made. Nothing seems
too difficult to cut in perforated music.'
The pig symphonies are copied as faith
fully aas a. simple street song.
First, explains d writer in the New
YorksPress, the sheet music Of the COM
position to be cut is brought in to Herr
Professor, who is to adapt it for per-
forated music. He is known as the
music director, !" and proceeds to
study the composition with view to
making not an exact copy Of the score,
but an adaptation that will be free
from mechanical irregularity, d9plicat-
frain Of a song, for instance, would be
repeated second time with more ami
nation than at first, were a pianist
playing from the score. So Herr Pro-
lessor Music Director adds to his per-
forated roll such notes as will strength
en- the repetition of the refrain, prob
ably carrying it...up an octave. When
is covered with mysterious marks that
the next man has no difficulty in de-
tciphering.
The second expert in this process is
mathematical sharp who proceeds to
lay out the master roll - He has a
long reel Of blank music paper of the
kind familiar to the public, and with
the score at hand, proceeds to mark
out the notes. He works according to
measurements. Perhaps full musical
measure represents three inches on his
master roll. Then an inch would be
a quarter note, half inch an eighth
note, etc. Sixty-five columns across the
paper represents SO many notes on the
piano. So the tiniest grace note may
be marked in with the greatest accura.
cy. When all the notes have been
marked on the paper roll they are cut
out by a machine with round perforat-
ing dies.
When the first master roll is finished

and suppressing those that seem To ha
superfuous This latter is a simple
thing, for small patch of paper over
the perforation makes it silent-many

five flexible metallic prongs, and as It
runs over a copper roller these prenps

too. But these are all cut by round
punches that move up and down with
great raapidity SO long as the circuit is
held. Twelve or more strips are cut
eating thru them ALL After being per-
torated, the rolls are marked with ex-
preston lines, mounted on reels and
sold.
One curious fact not generally known
about perforated music is that such
compositions cannot be copyrighted. A

with his blood the testimony Of his

Early in the fourth century Helena,
mother Of Constantine, set out. to
identify the spots most intimately as
ISOLATED with the Savior's life. She
selected the place where she believed
Christ was crucifed and buried, and
her son erected the Church Of the Holy
Sepulcher to mark the locality. For
fifteen centuries her designation was
accepted as the correct one, and the
Roman Catholics the Greek Catholics
and the Armenians, who divide the
space in the church between them, have
kept joint, tho not always harmonious
watch over the various affairs and
chapels. III :,..t :. -.s.a

A few years ago the correctness Of
the location of Calvary was disputed
and a hill over the Grotto of jeremiah
was fixed upon by the dissenters as the
place of the crucifxion, and tomb
nearby as the sepulcher. Since that
time the traveller has been shown both
places and furnished with the argu-
ments in support Of the claims of each.
It is contended that the Church Of the
Holy Sepulcher, tho within the present
walls, stands upon land which was out

Bethlehem is Il also identified, and
whether or notsthe church Of the Ma

In the garden Of Gethsemane, by the
Brook. Kedron, one can tread the soil
pressed by the Masters feet in the
hours Of his loneliness and agony. The
garden is now walled in and scarefully
kept, and it's old, gnarled and knotted

still stands, and also Bethany, where
Mary and Martha and Lazarus lived,
and, most conspicuous Of all, the Mount
Of Olives, the place Of the Ascension.

Nowhere else can one walk amid
