WOLIN'S TONE SECRET
NOW THOUGHT FOUND

PARIS, July 12.-The secret of
Stradivarius is believed to have
been found by M. Luc Galicanne,
who recently unearthed an Italian
manuscript in the Biblotheque Ma
tionale. 1t is dated 1915 and un.
doubtedly comes from Rome. 1t
contains the formula for the preser-
walton Of the vibrant qualities Of
wood.
According to the manuscript the
famous Cremona varnish has not a
base Of soft resin, as was always
supposed. Resinous amber dissolved
in olive oil was used and not the
ordinary soft resins dissolved in al.
cohol with which modern violins are
usually coated.
The manuscript ia also valuable
because of formation for dissolv,
ing hard resin which chemists haze
been unable to discover.
