NEW FORM OF SENSITIVE FLAME.-Most of
our readers are familiar with the interesting
physical fact that certain flames are exceedingly
sensitive to sound, and have seen notices oi the
experiments OF Professor Tyndall and Professor
Pepper, in London, upon this subject. Quite
recently, according to Nature, new form Of
sensitive flame has been devised by Mr.. Barry Of
Cork, which is said to be the most easily affect
cd Que known, possessing the advantage that
the ordinary pressure In gas-main Is quite sul-
hcient TO develop 1t. The method of producing

the community church in which week by
week services should be devoted not to the
iteration OF abstract propositions in theology,
but to the setting before mems minds of anideal
Of true, just and pure living; place in which
those who are weary of the burden of daily
cares should find moments rest in the cou-
temptation of the higher life which is possible
for all, though Obtained by so few; place in
which the man of strife and of business should
have time TO think how SMALL after all, are the
rewards he covets, compared with peace and char
ity. Depend upon it,'if such church existed,
no one would seek to disestablish it.

The more we learn of the English dissatsfac-
ton with our case before the Geneva board, the
more apparent it becomes that, whether we are
right or not, the British are wrong, and are
conscious of it, and that the acrimonious discus
sions and Indignant denunciations in parliament
ana the London newspapers were designed for
effect on home politics, rather than TO influence
the settlement of the International difficulty
Mr.. Gladstone's evasive explanation as to the
time when he received copy Of the American
case, tends strongly 10 confirm this impression.
He at first refused to give the house any infor-
nation on this point, bur on the next day ven
turcd 10 explain that the case had been received
some time before, but was Immediately given to
the printer, and as the time required for putting
into type book of several hundred pages was
considerable, and the foreign office had been first
supplied with copies, the cabinet had had theirs
only about week before parliament assembled.
He added that he az first thought the
American case very able, and it was
only after a more careful reading that he
discovered its Objectionable feature-thc claim
for consequential damages. This is plainly eva
si1e. Ii is not credible that no curiosity was
felt as TO the contents of a document so impor-
tant, or that curiosity, if felt, was depressed and
the volume handed TO the printer without pre-
liminary examination, leaving the compositors
and proof readers TO obtain the first information
on a subject Of such general interest and con-
cern. 1t is equally incredible that Mr.. Glad
stone could have had the case in bis hands half
an hour without discovering the existence of a |
claim for consequential damages. The truth is,
probably, that he was familiar with the contents
OF our case, and found nothing Objectionable or,
at any rate nothing inadnissible, until the clam
or OF the newspapers frightened him and drove
him to make the passionate and unwise speech
which seems to render it impo ;sibIe for him
to Ieccde so far as to Offer or entertain any
proposition which would be acceptable TO our
government. The excitement in England has
in great measure subsidized, and much of the dis
satisfaction, which at FIRST was directed against |
the alleged breach of good faith on the part of
the United States, is now transferred to the Brit,
ish "amateur diplomatists" who allowed Them.
selves to be outwItted by American LAWYERS
Two London attorneys and a conveyancer from
Lincolh's Inn would, one of the English papers
says, have managed the negotiations to better
advantage for Great Britain. 1t is certain that
our government cannot and has no disposition
TO make any abatement of the claims presented
in the case. 1t is not so clear that the British
government may not find some way out of the
difficulty without repudiating the treaty. II is
possible that Mr.. Gadstones ministry may be
sacrificed, and that D.sraeli or some other tory
leader may be charged with the responsibility of
continuing the negotiation.

THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, for January,
has seven articles besides its Contemporary
Lilerature:' l. Greek Tragedy and Euripides;
.. The Geographical Distribution of Animals
and Plants; 8 The Political Disabilities OF
Women; 4. The First Earl OF Shaftesbury; 5.
The D -velopement of Belief; 6. The Govern
ment and the Education Act; and I, A Theory
of Wages.
The writer of the first article says, with an
air of confident assumption: 'There are only
two races which can be said to have produced
the drama as fine ART, originally and indie
pcndently of foreign influences: these are the
Greeks and Hindus." And his stupid mono
mania concerning the Greeks goes so far as to
make him suspect that the Hndus were indebted

OF their drama; although there is not even the
slightest shade of a reason for supposing the old
Sanskrit writer's ever heard of Greek literature.
1t is certain that no Greek drama was ever
translated into Sanskrit. So far as we know,
the development of SansSrit literature oW ed

Hellenes. In fact, Sanskrit had become a dead

extent, that OF Corinth.
II we had the lost literature of some of the

as that of this Westminster reviewer. As it is
