The violin mid violoncello ure most iiensltive to atmospheric conditions and suffer from atmospheric vnrintions quite as much as Uie tender vocnl cords of the singer. Those who have attempted to make the violin nn orna ment by uaiiKlng it ukjd the wall have bad reason to rceiit taking such a liberty. The violin loses its varnish and gradually Its pitch and timbre. The artificial heat of rooms in winter makes Its tone rn neons when It does not obliterate It entirely. Metnl cases, morocco covered, are equally unfit for It. A strong, well varnished wooden case, even though it be not especially attractive to the eye, suits the sus ceptibilities of the violin much better. Certain qualities, sometimes unsus pected, In ttic wood play an important part In the falsification of notes, caus ing progreHMlve deterioration. There was a time when manufacturers ap plied to their product several conts of pnlnt" I. e., a concentrated solution of bichromate of sodium potash In boiling water. The wood soon acquir ed a yellow tone, nnd under the action of light after drying the color dark ened and took on the aspect of very old paint. For commercial purposes this was all very well, but what happened to tbe purchaser wos that as soon as he beirnu to use bis Instrument expose! to the lltfht the blchromnto worked on the gelatin, which the manufacturers employed to color the wood and pre vent the penetrating or tue varnisn, wlille some element In the bichromate of soda was converted Into stone. The violin suffered petiif.iotlon. wlilon im peded Its tone nnd rendered It useless. - Hurler's Weekly.
