F0GS HAMPER NAVIGATION.
Their Presence on Potomac Unusual
at This Time of Year.

For several mornings thick fogs have
covered the river and have given the
masters of steamers bound 10 this city
considerable trouble to bring their ships
through it in safety. The fog bank it, is
stated, forms just about daybreak and
lasts for an hour two, until the sun
is we'll up and its warm rays dry up
the mist clouds
The fog forms just about the time the
steamers that arrive here early in the
morning are approaching Alexandria, and
fog whistles have to be blown until after
this city is reached. While fogs are looked
for on the Potomac in spring and fall,
they are rather uncommon at this season
of the year. and are said to be caused
by the fact that in the early morning
the air becomes cooler than the river
water, and this causes the fog banks to
form.

UNIQUE INSTRUMENT
AT NATIONAL MUSEUM
Plays a Violin and Piano in a Re
markable Human
Manner.

| To the musical collection of the United
States National Museum there has re-
Gently been added a unique mechanical
instrument which plays violin and pl-
| ano. rendering the most intricate muSlca
numbers in a remarkable human manner.
| This instrument. which is the gift of
the makers. presents an interesting con-
trast to some of the very old violins and
pianos in the collection.
1t is known as the violano-virtuoso, is
the product of a novelty company OF
Chicago, and is remarkably free from
mechanical rhythm and tone.
Not only does the machine produce the
music of the many masters In accord
with their composition, but when played
in hidden position it is hard to believe
that master hand is not at the piano
and another playing the violin.
Invented by II. Z. Sandal.
The dual operation of the two instru-
ments was invented some years ago by
Henry K. Sandal. His first invention
consisted of violin player alone, which
was shown in London in 1903. While he
was there the idea of combining piano
Accompaniment with the violin occurred
to Mr. Sandal. and he set himself to
work out their coordination.
Despite the wonderful results produced
| by this invention, the actual operation
of its mechanical parts is fairly simple
The violin is played by four revolving
cylinders composed of laminated discs OF
silk and celluloid, one over each of the
four strings, which are brought into con-
tact with the strings at the proper in
stant by small levers.
The production of the various individ-
ual notes is arranged for by a sort OF
mechanical lingering which causes the
depression of one of the metal fingers
over the particular fret producing the
tones desired.
Initiates Bowing and lingering.
| The machine initiates human bowling
and lingering. but is capable of even
more. since it renders as many as foul
notes at one time in true quartet har-
mony The variations and tremolo eff
fects are made by the vibration of the
bottom binding post of the strings which
swings back and forth through the oper-
alton of a cam. An added adjustable
device makes personal Interpretation pos
sible.
The piano part works much after the
magnetic action of an electric playing
piano. 1t is provided with more varia-
tions, however, and has a greater range
of expression. not to mention an ability
to play sixty notes at once, besides its
main point of interest. that of it's syn
chronism with the violin. The mechan-
ism of both pieces is operated by elec-
tricity and the whole is inclosed in a
finely polished wooden case, the severa
doors of which make it possible to in
crease or diminish the tone volume a,
will
The manufacture of this instrument is
| one of a long line of efforts to render
music by mechanical means, various ex-
| amples of which are shown in the mu-
scum collection of musical Instruments.
