chief difference between the two in

less than half as much as the other,
the proportion being five ounces to
eleven; it has two copper threads in

construction Is lighter and weaker.
But in essentials the two instruments
are identical.
In fact, SO far as working prin.

1t was some 80 years ago that a
certain DR.. Chaucer was practic-
ing physician in New York The
doctor was a musician and devotee
of that master instrument, the vio-
lin, and was, If not virtuoso. at laest
an artistic performer. He longed
for the possession of a Ceremonial or
other example of perfection in manu-
facture and convinced the nation
that the most likely way to satisfy
his longing was to secure one from
some immigrant from Italy, who
might arrive at Castle Garden bring
ing with him an undiscovered prize.
Day after day he watched the in
coming tide of people of the old
world, hopeful that he might dis
cover some indication of the object
of his desire. How his vigil was
finally rewarded and the romance of
the sequel was told some years ago
in an article by Mr.. w. w. Warner
of Madison. An elderly Italian peas
ant woman, accompanied by lad
of ten years earring an oblong box,
came down the gangplank of a land
ed steamer, evidently poor and anx-
ious. DR.. Chaucer's experienced eye
discovered the possibility within the
box and he followed the pair to a tum-
bled-down tenement in the vicinity of
the then notorious five-points and
carefully noted the number of the
doorway where they entered. He
came again and again to the vicinity
and when nearly ready to give up
the object of his search, finally
caught sight of the lad who had car
ried the box which probably con-
tanned rare edition of some Italian
master. From the boy he learned
that the mother was i'll and sadly in
need of medical assistance. The
doctor proffered his services, medi-
cine and attendance. Through
her strength. Then it was dis
covered that the only means by
which she could pay him was the
sacrifice of her violin--an heirloom
that had come down TO her husbands
father through several generations.
This she was loath to part with, but,
upon the Doctors promise that she
might redeem it whenever she de-
sired, she consented to let it go.
1t was never redeemed and the moth
er and son were later lost to knowl-
edge and to memory and the violin
became the possession of the doctor

public.
About this time, in Cambridge,
where Professor Bell resided, there
was a little company of schoolboys
who We're in the habit of telegraphing
to one another over their own private
line. Naturally enough they took an
interest in the new invention, which
was the beginning to- be the subject
OF considerable newspaper comment,
and believing it to be an improvement
upon the old-fashioned method of
telephoning by means of string and
two tomato cans they, boy-like, show
ed their enthusiasm-and temerity-
by changing over their telegraph line
to telephone line and appealing to
headquarters for assistance. In re
Spouse to their appeal the kind pro-
lessor gave them several telephones
that had been used in his early ex-
periments. One of these instru-
ments has just been brought out OF
its resting place by it's possessor.
