FOREIGN NOTES

Electric pianos are on invention which is clearly "coming." A Dr. Eisenmann, of Berlin, who is already known in connection with this instrument, has elaborated his invention so far that it is said he can now sustain the sound of notes when desired, and imitate the tones of other instruments; thus in the treble he can produce an effect like that of the OEolian harp, in the middle like that of the violoncello, and in the bass like that of the harmonium and organ.
