The Bull-rOArer.

The "buil-roarer," o toy better
known to English than American
boys has just reappeared before the
English public as the text of dis
course delivered recently by Mr.. Tylor
before the Royal Institute DIR. Tylor
is the author of various books upon
primitive civilization, and is just now
investigating the "bull-roarer" as one
of the puzzles in human history. For
it is found always as sacred instru-
ment used in celebrating religious
mysteries. not only in ancient Greece,
Int in New Zealand, New Mexico,
Australia and Africa, and the question
is. did it begin as toy, and through
the diabolical character OF its noise
come to be regarded as suitable
means of impressing such splritual
mowers as could be summoned, or did 1t
degenerate into toy when familiarity
had dulled the effect first produced by
its use /? Possibly the reader may re-
call a toy, the originator OF which is
unknown, toy constructed slmuitane-
ously from Maine to Florida and from
the Alleghenies to the Pacific slope by
eyery bov, high or low, rich or poor,
who could compass On empty tomato
can, a string, and bit OF resin.
Through every city and village OF the
land swept this epidemic of "roosters,
whose voice was the voice OF the
guinea hen, and a rusty gate, and
contentious woman and an energetic
steam whistle combined. The "bnll'
roarer" is of less complex but quite as
sustained force, and simple and inno.
cent in appearance far beyond the
rooster" and is capable Of well-nigh
as unearthIy a chorus Any bit OF
board will make one, and the process ls
described entirely in the interest OF
science, and with no slightest reference
to the wishes or intentions OF the
small boy.
Take then bit of board, say a
Quarter of an inch in thickness, eight
inches long and three wide, and
sharpen each end, leaving the roarer
when finished in the shape of the
"fishn used as a counter Now tie. a
strong string yard in length tightly
around one end, twist the other about
the fore finger aud whirl. Whirl
patiently, for nothing will happen Tor
some time. In fact, the audience who
listened to Mr.. Tylor, looked with at
first interest, and then doubt, then de-
rision, at the spectacle of serious and
discreet philosopher whirling this bit OF
wood with calmness born of expert
ence. What they heard was first a
mild buzz, as of blue bottle fly on
hot day; then louder buzz, the voice
of q dozen hiyes of angrv bees, and
and suddenly a roar, "a mighty rush
ing noise, as if some supernatural
being Huttered and buzzed his wings
with fearful roar" This is the "bull-
roarer" and in every country save
Englandi tits still regarded as possessing
magical power, having 30 much vir-
tue as certain means ofraising the
wind, that its immediate adoption is
suggested to the large constituency
who are still waiting for something to
turn up.

Astronomers tell us that comets have
their orbits and reappear at regular
intervals. Halley's comet discovered
in 1922 has reappeared five times, the
last being 1886. 1 was a boy then,
writes Hermit" of the Troy On. "
Times, but well remember the strange
spectacle, for it was the first comet /
had ever seen. 1t was, however, u
very inferior thing compared with the
comet which appeared seven years
afterward, and which was grand to a
degree that almost seemed fearful. 1t
was forty-fve degrees long and the tail
spread like a fan until it was at least
ten degrees in breadth. For six weeks
this strange spectacle was visible in
the northern sky and frequently its
color was so red as to awaken terror.
1t was, indeed, supposed by some Mil
lerites to be a messenger to destroy the
earth. Considering the enormous size
of this comet what must have been its
head? This question deeply interested
astronomers, but it was never solved.
The head was f ar beneath the horizo
and hence was never seen by mort
eye, but as a matter of proportion it
must have been immense. The comet
of 1858 was very large and attracted
universal attention, and next came the
"war comet" as it was called, because
it appeared during the beginning of
the rebellion. 1t was certainly q
beautiful spectacle.
