an ordinary tone of voice. But Ezckicl's
lack Of ears was not his only distinction.
lie had a heavy crop of black hair
spotted with white, the spots them
selves being in exact shape of human
ears, feet. hands. etc. When he was
quite a small boy IL was noticed that
his black hair was interspcrscd with
oddly shaped spots of white, which.
however, did not take on their dis
tinctive shapes until he had passed his
fifteenth year.
When Mr.. Eads died he left one son.
aged forty-fivc, whose hair was as black
as coal, not a single gray hair being dis
cernible, and another son, thirteen
years of age. whose hair was as grava
that of a man of seventy.
