A PIANO IN HIS LUNGS.
nsnarkable Human Curiosity Living
on the Pacific Coast.

OF all the musical curiosities that
Nature has produced lately one of the
oldest is a man with piano in his
lungs. On the Pacific coast there is
a man by the name Of Pearson, his
native state is said to be Arkansas,
but he now resides in small Wash
ington town, who can, without any
undue effort, send forth remarkable
melodies which sound like the music
of a piano with a melodeon accom-
paniment.
This lung piano, as 1T has been
termed by the owner, is partly gift
of Nature, but Pearson has cultivated
the use of the extraordinary instru-
ment very carefully and thoroughly,
until now he is able to play several
familiar tunes with wonderful express
sion and technique. Friends of Pear
son say that his services are invalu-
able when church fairs, bazaars and
country entertainments are on hand.
He makes an excellent barker, and
his tuneful voice penetrates the fur
thermost corner Of meeting house or
tent. He says that other people could
perfect themselves in the same ac-
complishment if they tried it and prac-
ticed it regularly.

he was at particular feud with one Of

Field went early to the classroom and
put upon the big blackboard a very
exasperating caricature of his en-
envy, with his name beneath. When
the aggrieved party saw what had
been done he said not a word. but
catching up his youthful tormentor, he
used him as an eraser and after rub

Some interesting statistics have
been collected by Vice-Consul Arnold
at Foo-Chow, concerning the great
decline In China's tea trade. From
1878, when tea was first introduced
Into England, until 1897 China held ex
clusively the tea trade of the world
Then India began to enter the tea
market. The Chinese trade reached
high tide in 1885, with total export
OF 30,000,000 pounds In 1884 China
furnished about 72 per cent of the
worlds total. India and Ceylon Is per
cent and Japan and Formosa 10 per
cent. But in, 1904, when the total con
sumption had increased to 644,000,000
pounds, China contributed only 80 per
cent, India and Ceylon 60 per cent,
Japan and Formosa 10 per cent. The
decline in China is ascribed to care
less methods of cultivation and pre-.
paration of the leaf.
