The fact is that the fiddle Of
today is in the way of being an
unwise child-it doesn't know who
or what was its father! Certain
historical gcssips say it was the
crwth, which was of English ex-
traction. Others that it was the
Ravanastron. invented by the late
King Ravana of Ceylon, who flour.
ished some 5000 B. c. And it is
known that the mother country
of the present day fiddle was Italy,
And there you are.
Which only goes to show what
cold blooded, .unprincipled gossips
historians are and old time fiddlers
can be, when they're not fiddling.
The Crwth looks very much like
q. typographical error-mucsl, more
80 than modern fiddle. There are
defenders of the instrument who
say 1t was picked with a plectron
and not played with bow. But
even they admit it was no better
than it ought to be-and 1t is
largely for this reason the cold,
fact-chasing historians insist it was
the father Of the fiddle.
The Ravanstron was q cylinder
Of wood with a snake skin drawn
tightly over it. from which sounds
were drawn by a bow.
After meandering through obliv.
ion for centuries as a Persian rebec
or rebab, the fiddle in something
like its present shape came forth
in Italy-at Cremona to be exact
and it has been coming forth from
there in large numbers ever since.
The great fiddle makers of the
twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth
centuries lived in or near CremOna.

How 1t Started
THE SQUARE BOOK
By JEAN NEWTON

THE book In its present form of an
i elongated square or rectangle, is
one of the amenities of modern life
that we accept without question of
whence it came or how it started.
The history of the book in its vari-
Gus forms reveals the first books as
inscriptions on tablets of clay or
stone. Such were the 'books" of the
Babylonian contribution to literature,
a library of which was unearthed in
1901 at Nippur, In what had been the
Temple of Bel, destroyed in an inva-
sion almost two thousand years be-
fore Christ.
Next came the writings on papyrus
which were followed by the manu-
scripts on parchment, many famous
examples of which still exist. These
were sometimes score Of yards long,
rolled like modern maps on wooden
rollers and kept properly arranged
and catalogued In the closets and
shelves of ancient Libraries.
The earliest example of the modern
form of book known and still in ex-
istence is copy of Virgil In the Vat
ican library. 1t belongs to the age of
Constantine (272-337 A. d. and is a
relic of Roman handicraft. 1t is this
period, not later than the Fourth CEN
fury A. D., that is credited with the
adoption of the book in the form In
which we know it today, the square"
book or '1ibriquadraH' as 1t was
called.
&c. by Bell syndicate.)
