MUSICAL GLA
Mozart Composed For Them 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

my tune
In the meanwhile he flourishes a
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 to England in the year 1759 that

A FLAMEOF PAIN
The Shock That Comes With the Bita
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

In a letterto riend thus
You have doubtless heard the sweet
tone that is drawn from a drinking
gloss by passing a wet finger round its
brim One Mr Pockrich a gentleman
from Ireland was the first who thought
of praying tunes formed of such tones
Ee collected a number of 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 told by his friend Brockhill New
burgh a gentleman of wealthand po
sition who lived in Dublin at the time
Mr Pockrich in his brewery near
Islandbridge happening to be one day
seised by bailiffs thus addressed them
Gentlemen I am your prisoner but
before I do myself the honor to attend
you give me leave as an humble per
former in musick to entertain you with

Sir exclaimed one of the bailiffs
wo came here to execute our warrant
not to hear tunes
