AN EAR FOR MUSIC.
A Switchman Who Gould Tell the
Different Engines 10y the Bell.

A 6ne ear for music Is no rarity, YET
peculIarlties are occasionally noticed
that attract attention. 1t is said thai
expert musical conductors can tel
which one of the thirty or forty lnstru
ments should come in at given point:
in orchestral work, or IN minute tech
nlcalIties who Is wrong. Ability Il
naue Keynote is also sometimes no
ticed, that is, some people on hearing
a chord upon piano or organ, can tell
without seeing the instrument ol
player, what key has been struck, OF
what IS the signature of a chord or con
corted piece. This is quite rare, but a
more peculiar faculty is sometimes eX
hibited. Some time ago two people
were walking near railroad crossing
in the evening. The man had at one
time been a switchman on the railroad
His companion said, as train was
heard approaching?"
''Is that the Chicago expressP''
mo" he answered, that's wild
cat, with Engine 1885,"
"How do you know?''
81 know by the sound of her bell"
His companion was skeptical so he
said:
Now, you stand right here till that
train comes In sight. and see If Pm not
rlght.''
And sure enough a minute later q
light engine, No. 236. passed under the
electric light at the crossing, toIling her
bell meanwhile.
~ learned to do that when l was
switching nights" the man explained.
II had thirty trains to let into the train
house between Z z. NJ. and morning.
There were nine tracks for them TO &c
in on. and learned to know which was
switch-with smile-by the tone OF
their BELLS"
Such faculty is a rare one, and
cannot be acquired where it does moi
exist.

Emperor Williams Signature

The state signature adopted by En-
peror William Immediately after his
elevation to imDerial rank took the fol-
lowing form: Wilhelm, Imp. Rex, and
the abbreviation promptly became the
subject OF comment and conjecture in
Berlin court circles. The official mind
perplexed itself by vain attempts TO
guess or excogitate his Majesty's reason
for refraining from either signing his
title in full-Imperator Rex-or Indi-
eating it by the mere Initials I. Il.
One day some state document having
relation to his imperial functions was
submitted to him for his signature,
which he inscribed upon the parch-
ment, observing to the cabinet minis
ters IN attendance, II dare say you
wonder why | only sign one syllable OF
my first title, but the whole of my
