Remarkable Musical Memories.

Possibly the greatest case on record is
that wonder Of wonders, the most in
tellectual of Interpreters, the late DIR.
Hans Won Bulow. He not only played
all of Beethoven by heart upon the pi-
ano, but knew all the symphonies in the
same manner, and practically the whole
Wagnerian output of musical metal, and
it is claimed that so great was the mass
Of the piano music which Bulow retain
ed within the book and volume of his
brain, inscribed in mysterious hero
glyphics somewhere among the mole
cules of the gray matter constituting the
corteX of his cerebral organ, that he
could have played 25 piano recital pro-
grammes without repeating and without
a printed page. Since there go about
1000 measures to the hour and two
solid hours TO an ordinary Bulow pro-
grammc this would represent 100, 600
measures of music, or about 1000 large
pages, something like eight or ten thick
volumes.
Even Bulow was outdone by Rubin
stein, i'll the field of piano music at
least, if we can trust the anecdote mon
gers, for it is claimed that i'll one season
at st. Petersburg he played a series Of
recitals which exhausted the literature
of the piano and embraced 1900 dis
tinct compositions. 1t is mentioned of
Mendelssohn that on one occasion, the
score of Beethoven Sixth Symphony"
having been misplaced, he raised his
baton and directed the work from men,
ory, but this does not seem to me feat
i'll the least remarkable, for the pastoral
symphony is so extremely lucid and so
bewitchingly beautiful that the only
thing difficult or remarkable would be
the forgetting of it. Nine Patti knew
40 opera roles, and Varesi, the baritone,

it makes the best road known. For this
reason it is the rule on the most modern
roadways to have dirt road running
alongside of the paved roadway, and
in some instances the paved roadway
has a dirt road on each side of it to be
used in good weather. 1t is remarkable
on roads built in this fashion how many
days in the year the dirt roads do the
best possible service and the wear and
tear on the paved portion of the road are
thus saved. Besides this wet weather is
the time when travel over the paved
road does it the least harm, for the We
hicles then press down the rock and
stone into place instead of scattering
them, and hy being used only in bad
weather it lasts much longer.
''There is another argument in favor
of building roads i'll this way, and that
is that instead of "a paved Or graveled
roadway 16 or more feet in width it is
only necessary to build it feet wide.
This reduces the original cost of build
ing the roads just e-half, and it has
been found to answer the purpose just
as well, if not better, than a road twice
the width. How about wagons passing
each other? That is natural question
and simply answered. One wagon turns
out Oh the dirt road where two wagons
meet, but as two wagons seldom or
never meet in exactly the same place,
there is no danger Of wearing deep
hole or rut in the dirt road.
''The cost of building first class
road of this kind recently i'll Philadel
phia, with inexperienced hands and
other rather unfavorable conditions,
was 81, 200 mile The same kind Of
road has been built for 5000, and even
as low as $500 mile. The railroads
everywhere appreciate the direct benefit
that good roads are to the freight traffic
on their lines and have in nearly every
instance, when called upon, given the
movement their hearty aid and cooper
alton. The Southern Railway company
assured me that it would be glad to haul
the rock needed for constructing the
roadways to stations along its lines at
the bare cost of hauling the cars.
In collecting data on the 5000, ,000,-
600 annually which bad roads cost this

both i'll this country and abroad, and
the figures are given only after very
careful estimate. In the state of Iowa
the farmer hauls 30 bushels in a load,
when, if the roads We're good, he ought
to haul 100 in one load. That single
instance tells the story in a greater or
lesser degree of the bad roads through
ont the country. That 5000, 900, 600 loss
every year through bad roads is a tax
not only on the farmer but on every
body. find in my experience that one
of the most difficult things which the
promoters of good roads have to do,
and especially those who live in the
cities, is to prove to the farmers that
their interest i'll good roads in the coun
try is real and personal one. The
farmer has paid the tax of bad roads
and has suffered from it for so long that
he finds it difficult to believe that he is
to receive aid from people whom he
has formerly believed had very little
real interest i'll Them
