A ROYAL PUBLICATION.

One of the most handsome pieces Of
printing, and a publication that will
come to have historic interest, is the
specially prepared time table of the
tour through Canada of T. R. H, the
Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and
York, embracing that portion of the
Grand Trunk Railway System over
which the Royal couple travelled in the
Provinces of Ontario and Quebec.
Never before did a time table assume
such sumptuOus guise, and it reflects
the utmost credit upon the Grand
Trunk Railway System.
The book in question is a tall octave
one Of one hundred pages. printed on
special deckled edge linen paper. The
letter press is in black and red the
text is descriptive of the route from
North Bay, Ontario, to Toronto, Lon
don, Niagara Falls. Brantford, Wood
stock, Hamilton, Belleville, Kingston,
Brockville, Cornwall, Montreal, Sher-
brooke, Richmond and Quebec, with
marginal time table, distances from
North Bay and distances from Mon
treal. as we'll as showing the altitude
above sea level of every point along
the route. Blank pages are interleaved
opposite every page for pencilled
memoranda. The book is profusely IL

GETTING MUSICAL PITCH.
Solicitous Care is Exercised in Preserv-
ing the Standards.

ing The STANDARDS.
Musical pitch has a curious tenden-
cy to creep in. Ii is said that Bach's
music sounds much differently now
from what il did when Bach wrote il,
because the instruments are now pitch
ed higher In 1882 it was found that
the pitch of high A at the Vienna
Court Opera had crept from the pre-
scribed 49, double vibrations a second
to 443, and in 1885 this number had
further increased 10 $50. Accordingly
a musical conference was held, and a
resolution was taken to re-establiSh
the old pitch of 435 vibrations per sec
ond Upon this announcement the
Reichsanstalt. the Imperial Physical
and Technical Institute Of Germany,
set up standard instruments, and has
since tested and corrected many hun
dreds of tuning forks, shortening them
if they are too low in pitch, and thin
ming the arms if they are too high.
All the military orchestras of Ger
many are pitched alike, and the Reich
santalt keeps the tuning forks correct.
And this solicitous care of the govern
ment in preserving standards is one
reason why the world now goes to Ger
many in musical matters.-Pearson'
