Music from Flames.

4 novel and very remarkable musical
instrument has recently been invented
by NJ. T. Ksstner, Of Paris, which, it i
said. produced astonishing effects even
IN the midst of the largest orchestra7.
It is termed by its Inventor the pyro-
phone. The origin of the device is
due TO curious discovery made bg Mr..
Kastner in the properties of singing
flames. Many scientific men have
studied these interes sting pheL Omena,
but the Pecuiarities of two flames in
conjunction seem to have escaped their
notice. As the result of his investiga-
ton, Mr.. Kastner finds that if, in a tube
of glass or other suitable material, two
or more isolated flames OF proper size
be introduced and located at point cor
responding to one-third the length OF
the tube, reckoning from the base, such
flames will vibrate in unison. The
phenomenon continues as long as the
flame remain separate, but the sound
ceases the instant they are brought in
contact. The pyrophone a. first sight
resembles an organ, but instead of be-
ing operated by air blown in it pro-
duces its notes by the singing of the
flames within the tubes, the quality of
the sOund, its pitch and intensity de
pending of conrse on the dimensions of
the latter. The buIners from which
the flames emerge ara so arranged that
the flames run together, but may Ee
separated instantly by pressing down
key on an ordinary keyboard in front.
The position of the key in relation 20
the sound is the same as upon the piano
or organ. According to the law above
cited, as soon as the kew is
pressed the separated flames in the
corresponding tube give forth a note,
continuing, as in the organ, as long as
the key is held down. 1t is said that
the music TINS produced is extremely
beautiful, and that the sound closely
resembles in delicacy and purity that
of the human voice. The invention
was patented il England last year,
