Japanese Violins for America,

Any exportation of Westera musical instruments made in Japan to the West may sound strange, but it is true, according to an Oaska newspaper.

A violio manufactory in Nagoya basaent a shipment of violine lately to the United States to fill an order for tens of thousands of them, Tue instrumente mostly in demand in' America are chiefly German made, ! costing $3 to $80. At the out- break of the war Germany ceased to send them, and the supply is being drawn from Japan. The manu factory, encouraged by the now boainees, is said to be planning to double its yearly output, prob ably organising a Joint Stook Company with large capital. Ia 1910 this violin manufactory re. ported a yearly output of $5,0000.
