Freak Riddles.

The story of freak fiddles would
fill book. They have been made OF
tin, copper, iron, leather, glass and
paper. They have assumed many
wonderful shapes. Last year. In Los
Angeles, a blind fiddler used to play
on the corner with fiddle that had
no body. A tin horn did the work OF
the ordinary sound box of the violin.
This was the invention Of a local
man. A certain corporation making
monograph records in the east uses
an aluminium violin. This instrument
is scientifically constructed and used
by one of the greatest artists In max
ing records Of his solos for reproduc'
ton on talking machines. Even the
highest priced old vtolins do not
sound as one expects violin to sound
when 1t is reproduced on a record.
This aluminium violin corrects that
and the listeners sit entranced at the
sweet tones of the record. The violin,
itself. has a most disagreeable Tone
