MUSICAL RIBS.
Boy Phenomenon Who Is Attracting
Much Attention.

A Boy Phenomenon Who Is Attracting
Much Attention.
New York Sun: There appeared re-
:ently a newspaper story about a man
with a musical heart-a heart that
found time, while humping its own
er's blood about, to play like a church
organ or a violin. Eddie Warp, a
Norriston lad who carries bobbins in
one of the mills there, has set of mu-
steal ribs which he says he will match
against this heart at any time for any
amount. Eddie is very thin, and his
ribs protrude distinctly. The latest
music is drawn from them in the fol-
lowing manner The boy sits down
and tucks his shirt up about his neck.
He takes in each hand an empty bob
bin and draws long breath, which
throws the ribs into the greatest
prominence. With the bobbins he
then plays on them as ordinary must
clans play on xylophones, extracting
the tunes from the right side Of the
ribs and the accompaniment from the
left side ones. The upper ribs give
the high notes and the lower ones the
low notes. E is the key of the first,
or topmost rib, and F is that at the
bottom; though Eddie Warp by stop
ping off rib with his fingers, as vio-
linists stop off string, can raise or
lower the pitch gently. Eddie's music
is not very loud, but it would easily
fill a concert hall. The Ursinus Ten
mis- club has been after him for some
time, Offering him large inducements
to play at one of their musical teas,
but he is modest, and refuses to play
before women, arguing that his pecul-
lar kind of music necessitates an ex-
posture too great to be tolerated in
mixed audience
