a Soothing BELL.

Many sensitive persons are startled
by the abrupt, incisive sound given out
by the ordinary electric bell. M. Guerre,
Paris electrician, who has been work
ing ON the idea that this characteristic
of the electric bell was not irremedia-
BILE, has produced bell which gives q
continuous musical sound. The note is
very soft and sweet, although penetrat-
ing, and is said to be an exaggeration
Of that obtained by rubbing the edge of
glass with the finger. Instead of a
bell with hammer and spring inter
rnpter, steel bell is used, which is its
own interrupter. When the circuit is
closed by the pressure of the button at
the other end of the line, it is released
from the electro magnet, forced forward
and released again for number of
times with great rapidity. The yihra-
ton set up produces the pleasing hum
ming instead of the familiar sound so
irritating to nervous people. The pitch
of the note can at any time be changed
For instance. should there be sickness
in a house, and it is desired to reduce
the carrying quality of the note, it can
be lowered until it is audible only to
the servants or others whom it il in
tended to summon.

The Spanish Main.

We write and talk glibly enough of
the Spanish main, but when did the
phrase first come into use and what was
its exact geographical significance? The
prevalent idea. borrowed, we take II.
from the delightful romance of West

was IN common use among the Eliza
bethan sailors TO signify that part of
the great American continent on which
the Spaniards had effected settlement
when we first broke into the Caribbean
sea--that is to say, from Vera Cruz. in
the gulf of Mexico. to the delta of the
Orinoco But we cannot find that the
phrase was in use at that time. In the
pages Of Hakluyt we read of the main,
Of the firm land, which is, of course,
a literal translation Of the Spanish term
"tierra firma, of the mainland coast.
of the coast of the Indies or of the
West Indies, but of the Spanish main
we have nowhere read.

Leigh Hunt was not an immense talk
er like Coleridge and Carlyle, wit ike

tedious because lie was always fluent
and graceful and talked with, not only
to. his company. And when he sat
down with his conversational pen to
talk about his life he was not in a
hurry for tie printer and could call
upon memory and III gination to repro
duce the good company he had kept and
the memorable things which he had seen
and heard.
Leigh Hunt gives us in his autobi-
ography not only his own life, but, what
is the chief charm of good biography,
picture of the time as well as the
man. We should not care so much for
even Boswell's Johnson If we did not
find him in the company of Burke,

playniates Hunt always kept good
company. Hewas the intimate friend of
Shelley and Keats-above all of Charles

ace Smith, of Russell, Campbell, Charles
Mathews, Theodore Hook and score
besides; of Byron. whose brilliancy
scorched him; of Coleridge. whom he
quizzed and admired; Of Wordsworth,
whom he quizzed and respected. To
have had such friends is a sufficient
testimonial to his genius and his heart,
