and Gluck Played Upon Them INVENTED BY AN IRISHMAN Richard Pockrich the Versatile Genius Who Originated Them Once Used Their Melody to Charm Away the Bailiffs Who Had Arrested Him Richard Pockrich an Irishman who lived lu he eighteenth century was a true genius a dreamer and an In vemor He proposed metal ships pre dicted flying machines advocated bog draioagu and vine planting in the Em erald Islo invented un Instrument for transfusing blood and was for some years a brewer in Dublin It was in the domain of art that he achieved his one real triumph the one by which he is known in contemporary musical history by which ho became known to general European civilization during his lifetime and by which his name will long survive He invented the musical gassre These can be heard today in vaudeville houses all over tbo world and will probably sur vive as long as- the musical art itself Most of our readers huvc heard them They are simply a set of tumbler or goblot like glasses selected for tonal quality to carry out a musical scale Pockrich seems in have been the first man to be struck by the musical tone in glass and so he thought the tiling out and producad u scale on which he could play any melody Ho exhibited hisdiscovery inDublin and finally took it to England about the year 1750 where It became the sen sation of the hour Nothing was talk ed of but the marvelous simple new musical instrument It seemed to the ears of the jaded Londoners that the heavenly art fa all its elemental beauty bad returned to earth Farf nan snejer ingat so very- impJean ideator mak ing

prelude on the glasses and afterward displays his skill through all the pleas ing turns and variations of The Black Joke The monsters charmed with the magic of his sounds for some time stand and gaze At length recovering from their trance they thus accost the captain Sir upon your parole of honor to keep the secret we give you your lib rty Tis well playing upon glasses is not more common if it were I be lieve our trade would find little em ployment Another musical Instrument that Pockrich developed as no man had ever dreamed of before was the drum He had dreamed of harmony eyn In the drum He planned an orchestra of drums only There were to be twenty of them varying in size and tone from the smallest trebles to the basses to be played by one person standing with the drums arranged about him in a circle Pockrich never succeeded in producing true melody from a concert of drums The musical glasses were the direct cause of Pockrichs death It was wHlte he was upon one of his musical tours

of the Electric Ant When you happen to sit down to rest op take notes near a colony of ants som wandering hunter is sureto flod yoU and come cautious ly forward to discover the nature ot the intruder and what ought to be done If yQUarenottoo near theant dwh and eep perfectly still he may runaefossyoiuhfeet a few times over your legs and hands and face up your trousers as if taking your measure and getting comprehensive views then go in peace withont raising an alarm If however a tempting spot is offered or some suspicious movement excites him a bite follows And such a bite I fancy that a bear or a wolf bite is not to be compared with It A quick electric lame of pain flashes along the outraged nerves and you discover for the first time how great is the ca pacity for sensation you are possessed of A shriek a grab for the animal and a bewildered staro follow this bite of bites as one comas back to con sciousness from sudden eclipse This wonderful electric ant is about three fourths of an inch long Bears are fond of it and tear and gnaw its home logs to pieces and roughly devour the eggs larvae parent ants and the rotten or sound wood of the cells all in one spicy acid hash The Digger Indians also are fond of the larvae and even of the perfect ants so I have been told by old mountaineers They bite off and reject the head and eat the tickly acid body with keen relish Thus are the poor biters bit ten like every other biter big or little in the worlds great family John Muir in Atlantic Too Smart to Be a Lawyer B Davis Noson was one of the ablest lawyers In central New York A

glasses of differeit sizes fixed them near each other on a table and tuned them by putting into them water more or less as each note required The tones were brought out by passing his fingers round the brim There Is a story of Pockrich who was making occasional tours to Eng land after the invention of the musical glasses that illustrates the surprising effect of his own performance on them It is
