It is a -complete and beautifully equip- ped model railway, with rolling -stock tenter tank's, turntables, carriage works, coal stages, tunnels and sid- ings, and is entireiy the work of its proprietor's owa hands.

All the work incidental to its con- rtruction was done during his spare murs, and at the time he WAS study- ing for and sitting for his lus. Bac. degree.

It is an exact duplicate, down to the minutest detail, of the London, Brigh- ton, and. South -Coast Railway's en- gine "Como," on a scale of, one inch to one foot, and it occupied thirteen years in the building. Every part, down to the 'last nut and rivet, was made by Dr. Winter himself, and was, wherever possible, chisselled out of the solid metal instead •of being cast. For example, the wheels were first cut as discs from a ItaSS of Bessemer steel. Then the spokes were marked out, holes were drilled round the lines and the spaces were chiselled out and finished with the 91e. This me- thod neceSsitated the drilling of more than seven hundred holes' in each wheel, and'the time occupied in coin- arpleting, the six wheels was over a year. Even the steel covering for the fire -box was cut out of a solid block of metal, although it is barely • 1-96 of an inch in thickness,— Pearson's Weekly.

Twenty-four stone -deal children were divided by lot into two parts, and those of one group were submitted every day • to the vibrations of a "vowel siren," which be has invented for this "massage" of the tympanum, or drum of the ear. At the end of six weeks all the subjects could hear sounds of Musical instruments for the first time, three heard phrases spoken near the ear, and two heard conversation carried on over a yard distant in the ordinary voice. The siren also enables the 'hearing to be measured with precision.
