Ole Bull, the great violinist who thrilled
our fathers, was born with Chopin in
this same month of February. 1910. Bull
birthplace was Bergen, Norway, and his
centenary which will fall on February
5, will be of unusual interest here, mas
much as he once chose America as the
land of his adoption. This genius was
destined for the church by his father, a
chemist, who placed over him a master
instructed to keep the young man from
touching his beloved violin. Things were
progressing as the father desired, when
an orchestra leader failed to show up IN
a theater and Ole was hurriedly summon
ed to act as substitute. And such an
ovation did he receive at this performance
that he abandoned his books for his
music, but soon suffered discoura gements
which turned him now to the study of
law. But before long he mortally wound
the country. Landing in Paris he be-
