He exhibited his discovery in Dublin and finally took it to England about the year 1750, where it became the sen- ition of the hour. Nothing was talk- ed of but the marvelous, simple, new musical instrument. It deemed to the ears of the jaded Londoners that the heavenly art fo all its elemental beauty bad returned to earth. Far from(sneer- lug at so very simple an idea for mak- ing melody, the cognoscenti of London |went into raptures over the musical iglasses. 'Gluck, the great composer, who was in London, did not disdain to play bis immortal airs upon them. "The opera flourishes more than in any recent year," wrote Horace "Wal- pole to a friend. "The composer is Gluck, a German. He Is to have a benefit, at which he .is to play a set lates with water. 1 think I have heard you speak of some such thing." Not only did Gluck perform upon Pockrich"s new jonstfument, but Bee- {thoven, Mozart - and other great mau- |siclans du later years actpally com- {posed music for it. Goldsmith refers to it In "The Vicar of Wakefleld." Not long after the inventor visited London, and Benjamin Franklin speaks of him in a letter to a friend thus: "You bave doubtless heard the sweet tone that is drawn from a drinking glass by passing a wet finger round its brim, One Mr. Pockrich, a gentleman from Ireland, was the first wha thought of playing tunes formed of such tones.

There is a story of Pockrich, who was making occasional tours to Ing- land after the invention of the musical glasses, that illustrates the surprising | effect of his own performance on them. {Ie is told by his friend Brockhill New- | burg, a gentleman of wealth and po- | sition, who lived in Dublin at the time: "Mr. Pockrich in his brewery near {1slandbridge, happening to' be one day seized by bailiffs, thus addressed them: * "Gentlemen, I am your prisoner, but 'Ibefore | do myself the honor to attend you give me leave as an humble per: | former in musick to entertain you with a tune.'

On Governors island, New York city, there is a test ng laboratory for cloth. A specification" ofthe weight per linear yard of each kind of cloth is mentioned. Each bolt 'of goods is weighed, and if it falls | short-of the proper weight it is thrown out. Next the question of wear and tear is considered, and again the spect. Seation is stated that each special kind of cloth will stand a straip of so many pounds to the inch work way and so {many pounds to the inch filling way. So, after weighing, the next text is to !*ut a sample and try in a machine the strength of the cloth. If it won't stand this test the cloth is thrown out. After the cloth has been pronounced [perfect for weight and strength the | 1ye tests are made. It must stand two {1cid tests for perspiration, and the ma- {terial must stand boiling for ten min- ates in a certain soap solution, show- {ng that it will stand washing with strong alkalis, and finally comes the weather test, the material being -ex- {r0sed thirty days on the roof without | bwoging color appreciably.

When a mathematical astronomet in Paris gave a Berlin observatory a search: warrant for a pew plapet aod, turning his telescope as directed, the Berlin observer found the previously mmknown plapet all the world won jered. Equally remarkable have been « prediction and its verification in the nistory of modern ¢hemistry. Grading he known elements of nature accord: ing to the weight of their respective itoms, it was observed that thé ele ments, somé seventy or more ip num- ver, formed a scalé marked by period: icity like the scale in music. This periodic law in the hand of genius be- 'ame an instrument of research. It was in 1871 that Mendeleef, the Rus- sian chemist, in forming the scale of elements, found it necessary to leave three spaces vacant for undiscovered elements to make his table true. Neither did he hesitate to predict the properties which these elements should possess when discovered. It was as if an astrologer should inform you that you would meet some time in your life three men and that with the utmost particularity he told you their respective physical weights, the color of their hair, the size of hat, shoe and glove worn by each and. in a word, all the habits of mind and body suf- ficient to discriminate them positively from all other meny Nof only was the prediction literally fulfilled. but Men- deleef had the unexpected pleasure to see the verification in. his day, for out of the night of the unknown one after another came the predicted ele ments into the clear sunlight of science and were instantly recognized.--Louls- ville Courier-Journaal. A Trick of the Sun. Upon. a mountain in Andalusia quaint spectral forms are frequently seen. Whenever there Is a heavy mist and persons are ascending the moun- tain they appear in all their ghostly splendor and sometimes so suddenly as to strike dismay ioto the hearts of those who see them for the first time. Of course it is all a trick played by the sun. When a mist partially shronds the mountain tbe sun is nat urally obscured, and then he revenges himself by projecting the shadow of any person o i= ascending the mountain until it assumes the form of of a gigantic specter.

A Bit of Japanese Strategy That De- ceived the Enemy. Many a man has filled to guess an sasy riddle because the simple solution ooked like a trap to him. Here is an nstance in which this trait of human ature was cleverly played upon by a Japanese nobleman. The old lord had been forced to flee with only 300 men before an enemy with 10000 and barely had time to reach his castle ahead of his foes here were no re-enforcements pear at wis made to storm his defenses he and his men would be dead before help could come. The enemy's forces advanced rapid- iy. and scouts rode up near the castle they found the gates, doors and win- dows open and all the appearance of a holiday celebration. They rode hastl- ly back to inform their master that the foe was dancing and that bands were playing music in the castle. The powerful enemy was too wise a man to put his head into any such trap as that. The defenders of the castle must have some plan to slaughter his forces by wholesale or they would never invite him in that way. He camped to await developments. Soon the re-enforcements for the cas- tle came up behind, attacked him sud- denly ind defeated him, while the gar- rison, which had risked all on fits stratagem, charged him on the other side.
