Sounding Flame.

: OF all producers of so-called mysterious
sounds DR.. TyndalPs sensitive or vowel
flame is one Of the most curious. Out of q
particular kind of gas, with q burner Of
peculiar construction, the learned professor
produces lighted jet Of flame nearly two
feet in height extremely narrow, and 80
exquisitely sensitive to sounds that 1t Sings
and dances up and down, in response to
everything that is sung or said, with diff
ferent degrees of sensibility for different
vowel bounds. "F'l'he slightest tap on a
distant anvil reduces Its height seven
inches. When a bunch of keys is shaken,
the flame is violently agitated, and emits q
loud roar. The dropping Of a sixpence
into hand already containing coin, at a
distance of twenty yards, knocks the flame
down. It Is not possible to walk across the
floor without agitating the flame. The
ereaking Of boots sets 1t in violent colnmo-
ton. The crumpling or tearing Of paper,
or the rustic Of a silk dress, docs the same.
/ It is startled by the patter of u rain drop.
hold watch near the fame, nobody
hears Its ticks; but you all sec the effect
upon the flame; at every tick, it falls aud
roars.h The winding up oil the watch also
produces tumult. The twittering of dis
tant sparrow shrieks IN the flame the note
of cricket would do the same. A chirrup
from distance of thirty yards causcs 1t to
fall and roar" In reference to the power
of the flame to respond to poetry, the lee.
turer said: ''The flame selects from the
sounds those to which 1t can respond 1t

1t bows more distinctly, to some its obeis-

TalI0w Candle Fash.

In the waters Of British North America,
as we are Informed, there Is fish, an odd
fish, as surprising in Its way as the sea-
serpant, and infinitely more useful. It is
a species of smelt, and may be POLITICALLY
described as an aquatic glow-worm. We
are told 1t may be literally used In tho
same way as a csndle, by simply setting
q light to the tail when 1t will burn with a
flame steady as that Of the dips" which
our grandfathers used to have to put up
with before gas was Invented. 1t Is a
small silvery fish, averaging about four.
teen inches long, 10 exceedingly fat, and
affords an excellent and valuable oil, and
is SO infammablo that the dried carcass
will serve as Q torch. Among the,natives,
the fish Is known as the oolahan, and by
them, az BY others who have tasted 1t, Is
considered che Of the most delicious pro-
ducts OF the sea, being far more delicate
in flavor than the herring, The f1sh arc
caught In wicker baskets, and are smoked
as much as thei. oily nature will allow !" !

An Old Britisl. Tar.

There is recorded the death at Montrose,
on Oct. l, Of Coull, the old tar who steered
the Shannon into the memorable action
with the Chesapeake, off Boston Harbor,
on the lst Of June, 1913. James Coull was
born In the fishing village of Ferryden,
near Montrose, on the It'll day Of January.
1885, 30 that he was In his ninety. fifth
year. On account Of the death OF his
father and the poverty OF his mother,
james started life as cabin. boy in one Of
the local vessels at the early age of six
years. He was afterward indentured as an
apprentice in the brig Concord, of Mon.
trose, IN the year 1901, and while lying at
Copenhagen was pressed for the navy the
same year. James was sent on board the
Centaur, seventy-four guns commanded by
Captain Broughton, in which vessel he first
saw active service, having been at the bonn.
bardment of Copenhagen on the I'd of
April, 1901. After the treaty Of Amiens
James received his discharge, and was seut
ON board hls old ship to finish his appren-
ticeship, which he completed, and then
sailed as All A. B. In another local vessel.
When lying at the More in this ship he was
again pressed for the Navy, and again sent
on board the Centaur, where he was short
ly afterward appointed Assistant Quarter.
master, and was present in this vessel at
the battle Of Trafalgar ON the 2lst of Octo-
ber, 1906. From this time onward he was
retained in the service, and by the time lie
was twenty one was circumnayigator.
His most notable engagement was the tus-
sle Of the Shannon with the Chesapeake,
of Boston harbor, on the 1st Of June, in
the year 1913, which only lasted fifteen
minutes from the firing Of the first gun to
the running up of the Union Jack over the
stars and stripes. Coull, being then a
petty officer and and volunteer from the
Act@on, had the honor of steering the
Shannon into action, and while doing 80
he received musket-bal in his left wrist,
which traversed his arm and came out ut
the elbow. Coull, however, stuck to his
post, and after the vessels had got cntang-
led by the ShannorFs anchor catching hold
Of the Chesapeake, he formed one of the
boarding party led by Captain Broke, re-
cciving severe scalp wound while scramb-
ling on board, The scalp wound was
quickly patched up, but owing to the bullet
wound Coull was invalided In 1914, and
finally the arm was taken of OF the elbow
In 1916. Coull was then discharged on a
pension of Gl0 per annun,, which was
augmented some fourteen years ago by ELS
10s., 80 that he had been pensioncr for
the unusually long period of sixty six years.
Although thus disabled, he sailed for twen-
ty years as cook In the whalers belonging
to the port of Montrose. besides acting in
the same capacity tor, fourteen voyages
across the Atlantic In sailing vessels.

The Growth of Gardening.

1t is interesting to notice the extent to
which gardening has grown. In 1403 the
chief products Of our gardens were cabba-
ges, onions aud garlic. Apple, pear, cherry
and ounce trees seem to have been the
only fruit trees in England at that time.
The plum tree was first introduced into
this Country in 1880, being brought from
Asia. The cockspur Hawthorn was first
cultivated here in 1892. The maple leaved
hawthorn was introduced into England
from America In the year 1898. A beauti-
tul variety OF alder was first cultivated in
England In the year 17Y0, being brought
from Switzerland, Siberia and other cold
countries. The cedar was first cultivated
here In 1864, and the common white larch.
which now convers with such excellent
effect so many wild parts OF the kingdom,
but Is becoming diseased, was accidentally
taken to Scotland in 1887. MIR. Menzics,
tot Culdare. having procured four of these
plants from Siberia, gave two 10 the Duke
OF Atholl, which are still in full vigor at

of aii the larch trees insthe kingdom. The

in respect of some howers arc curious. The

Antiquity at Table.

AT first the Greek, as we'll as the Roman
sat at table; but rs Ills manners softcned h
gradually came to use the couch, piece O
furniture OF more or less costly construc-
ton according to tho style of the dwcllinf
or the wealth Of the owner. Four or fly,
persons managed to accommodate them
selves on these dinner-beds IN a way WI
should consider very awkward and uncom
Portable. The tables, like the couches,
were often Of great value, being OF deaf
woods, and sometimes plated with gold O,
silver. Probably Alcibiades prepared fol
the daily moal much In the manner of the
modern "golden youth" Tho Greek gen.
tlcman and, for that matter, no doubt, the
Greek bourgeois washed, anointed and
dressed for dinner; white robe, which
was also the wear In Rome, corresponding
to the clawhammer" style of our day.

sort OF sacrament among the Greeks they
dined with ceremony unknown in our
way. The various ministers of the table
originated special nomenclature. There
was the host, or the persons representing
the host, pompously distinguished In
the sonorous tongue of E,iripides and Pla-
to. There was the master OF the ceremo-
nies, whose business was to see that tho
laws and rules Of entertainment were re
spectcd. Next, we reckon the carver, an
important personage, to whom particular
allusion is made in many passages Of Greek
literature. There is nothing new under the
sun, and we may indulge the harmless be-
iiof that Pislstratus the Tyrant, &whsp he
played the role of Amphitryon, was sec
