sPoHR's VIOLIN FOUND.

New Yorker Believes He Has Solved
Mystery of n Century.
Louis Blumenberg of New York tells
me he has found the famous Spohr
violin in London, London CORE
spondent of the New York Herald says.
The story of this renowned fiddle and
its loss is one of the romances of mu-
sic.
Louis Spohr, the greatest artist of
his day, was travelling through Ger
many in 1904, with friend, Herr
Eek. Spohr had his trunk, containing
all his personal effects, with his below
ed violin. carefully dashed to the back
of the coach on the way to Gottingen.
There were numerous highway robbers
in those districts in those days, and a
certain variety of luggage litter"
bearing some resemblance to the mod
ern gentleman who operates so sue
cessfully at times on English and con-
tinental railways.
When Spohr reached Gottingen he
found his trunk gone, and from that
day to this there has been no trace
of the famous violin. But good rec
ords have been kept of its peculiar de-
sign and markings, and when it came
before Mr.. Blumenbergs eye he iden-
titled it.
When full proof of the Instruments
identity, which Mr.. Blumenberg is now
seeking in Germany, is secured, it
will be worth at least $4,000 to $780,

A Desire for self-Expre.x,on.

We hear great deal of criticism of
the greed of rich men, which keeps
them pushing ahead after they have
more money than they can ever use
to advantage, but the fact is many of
these men find their reward in the ex-
ercise of their powers, not in amass-
ing money, and creed plays compar-
atively small part in their struggle for
conquest
OF course this is not true of all rich
men. Many OF them are playing the
game, and keep on playing it, for the
love of accommodating Their selfish
ness and greed have been INDUCED so
long that they amount to a passion,
and the accumulators oftentimes be-
come money-mad.
But the higher type of man plays
the game, from start to finish, for the
love of ACHE vement; because it salts
fies his sense of duty, of justice; plays
it because it will make him a larger,
completer man; because it satisfies his
passion for expansion, for growth He
plays the game for the training it
gives, for the opportunity of seif-ex-
preston. He feels that he has a mes
sage to deliver to mankind, and that
he must deliver it like a man.-Orison

wAGNER's STORMY BEGINNING.
Comfort Came to Composer from Pat

Comfort Came to Composer from Pat
ronage of Mad Monarch.
"A fugitive for debt and refused a
JOB In chorus, despised and abb
horred and unheard composer, a politi-
cal exile, then a stormy crusader
against the widest and widest cam
palgn of abuse and ridicule in the his
tory of art, then the most successful
| composer that ever lived, and finally
again a political exile because he had
become so powerful that he was called
the pope Of music-this is a scenario
of the life of Wagner" says Rupert
Hughes in Smiths.
Though he chose music as his ca
reer and music is ordinarily the most
aloof from reality of all the arts, he
brought it into intimate contact with
nearly every phase of human activ-
lty. Through his music he invaded
the drama, fiction, essay, poetry, myth
ology, religion. legend, history, poll
tics, revolution, finance, architecture,
painting
In the last article we followed
Wagner's life to the peak he reached
with his overpoweringly beautiful ro-
nance, Tristan and Isolde This
opera was composed when Wagner was
46, but he was 81 before it was pro-
duced.
Meanwhile, when his financial af-
fairs were in most desperate straits
and he had borrowed nearly all that
men like List could scrape up to lend
him, he was visited by one of those
fairy-story happenings that brighten
real life once or twice century. The
king of Bavaria, Ludwig H., a madman
with streaks of genius, became inter
ested in his music and sent for him.
So obscure was Wagner that the mes
senger was six months in finding him,
and had almost despaired when he dis
covered him in Stuttgart and informed
him that he had been put upon the
pension list with yearly stipend of
about $500. In Wagners words: Ny
creditors were quieted and | could go
on with my work."

tree and the currant bush lose their
identity
Those that are trained like vines
certainly possess a distinctive decora-
tive value. In the old days every es-
tate in England worth while had a
specimen box tree-a superior example
of topiary work-which was pruned to
resemble Queen Elizabeth.
In the poor mans garden abroad a
trained fruit tree finds its greatest
usefulness. No garden is too small
for few trees. The peasant, with a
scant six inches or a foot between his
walk and his neighbours fence, still
has room to plant tree and train it
against lattice While the necessity
for maximum returns from minimum
acres is not a part of our national
point of view, the possibility of the
training of trees as hobby has been
very much overlooked
in Germany you can buy a tree to
measure to fill in any space on your
garden wall or house, just as we buy
ready-made suit of clothes. While
the trining of fruit trees has become
popular only within ten years, the
mobstbaumschulen, or schools
where trees are trained. are now to be
found everywhere in Germany. There
are commercial nurseries where ex-
perts in espalier work are constantly
making new forms and creating new
marvels. Certain shapes have become
standard, such as pyramids, cordons,
,palmettos and so on
There are practically no nurseries in
America that have taken up the propa-
cation and sale of trained fruit trees
In serious way, and there is almost
no American literature on the subject;
consequently one who wishes to take
this work as a hobby will be forced to
Germany, France or England for his
inspiration and for his stock.
