Concerning the nationality OF eminent pi-
anists, Mr.. Honeker thus discusses in the
Musical Courier: Mozart was an Austrian,
and played the piano in the Italian or Scar
latti style. Handel and Bach were not pi-
anists, but harpsichordists. Beethoven fol-
lowed closely in the steps OF Clement bas-
ing his passage work and general style of
flguration and performance on the Ital-
ian's. But he played Beethoven better than
any other pianist. This is not joke. but
a remark. Mendelssohn was a nonchalant
and witty in his piano style-remember
Rossini and his allusion To the Scarlatti-
isms in Mendelssohn music and playing
Tausig was born in Posen; he was Polish
and Jewish. AT thirty, when he died, he
was the greatest pianist alive. Won Buiow
was German-Prussian German-but he
could play Bach and Beethoven little

used only for pleasure purposes, no
employe being authorized to use it
while in discharge o. his duties.
The device consists essentially of n
plank - inches wide and feet in
length, along the middle of the under
side of which there is a cleat which
runs between the rack bars ANA holds
the toboggan thereon. On either side
of the middle cleat there are brake
shoes bolted to the plank at one end
and bearing against the outside sur
faces Of the rack bars or cog teeth
These brake shoes are applied by
clamps bent over the sides of the plank
and operated by lever which, as APP
pears in the Illustration the rider holds
within his grasp.
The plank bears upon the upper
edges of the cog teeth by steel runners,
which consist of two straps bent over
the ends of the plank. TO hold the
device in balance bar or pole is
bolted to the top of the plank. cross
wise. extending over the track rail on
either side. Across the front end of
the plank there is boltCd rest for the
riders feet.
The method of operating the device
is simply to place the toboggan on the
track. sit uOwn and attend to the
brake.
The speed attainable with this tobog-
gan depends upon the pleasure of the
rider. \ record of Il fraction under a
mile minute has been made on the
particular tOboggan shown in this H.
lustration, there being many of them
in use on the road.
The entire stretch of track from the
top of the peak, down to Manitou, nine
miles, is used, except at four points
where the track rails diverge at sid
ings. At these points the rider must
come to Il stop and carry his toboggan
about 40 feet. 1t is officially stated
that on one occasion an employee of the
company made the entire trip over the
nine miles in II minutes.
The high friction created by the con
tact of the runners with the rack rails
causes the former to heat. and on the
ghtcr grades of $ to II per cent the
heated runners have been known to
adhere to the rack rail and stop the
toholgan.
For the purpose of fabrication and to
prevent the runners from undulY heat
ing. the rider carries bar of soap
which he applies to the top of the rack
teeth 10y reaching over in front of the
