We have a drawing of the tubes making the lus, and every other is shorter, a short tube being placed bejti two longer ones. Of course blowing jji in succession makes a fearful gamut, at least to our ears. It is an ascending scale, but with many unfortunate intervals. have seen, not quoted by Mr. Van Aalst, the exact measurements of the frets on a Chinese guitar. They are arbitrary in their spacings. It is well known that tho higher the note ac ceptable to the European (that is, to suit our ears) the smaller is the spacing.

The groat Chinese master who laid down the law for this spacing, so we read, found the seeds of a peculiar kind of melon. He laid down one seed on the fingerboard, and said that space is one note. Then he moved the seed its length on the fingerboard, made a fret there, and declared that that must be the next note. So this methodical musical sage shortened strings, and so a gamut was given to China, founded not on melodic vibrations, baton linear principles.

Tho notation is not readily understood, the author stating that the Chinese theoretically admit seven sounds in the seals, but practically only use five. As to the value of the notes, the Chinese

have

nothing indicative

of this. "The best Chinese musician could only conjecture the general form of a written piece shown him for the first time. To be able to decipher it he must first hear it played." We can understand from this how a blind musician AHa all the necessary Chinese requirement

To play as you please is to keep Chinese time, for "tho tunes, modified by individual taste of tho performer, may after a lapse of tirna becomo quite different from what they were originally." Satisfied with a pentatonic scale, with no flat nor sharp, in this the Chinese find all the variations which satisfy thoir musical tastes.

In the book may be found several examples uf Chinoso popular songs, bat we doubt whether any American publishers o? music will ever pirato the in. One ballad is entitled -'Wang Ta-niang, or Madame Wang." Played on the piano or sung, nionotouy is its salient trait the mon otony of musical stupidity. Mr. Stent, who wrote an interesting article entitled "Chinese Lyrics," has reproduced the notes of this parrlar song, and ho writes: "However simor absurd any song I introduce may apr, I claim that it possesses «qual, if not su or, advantages to our own popular songs.' can no) agree with Mr. Stent—-that is, as regards the spocimans of Chineso songs hei-e toforo presented. -'Captain Jinks of the gHorso Marines" is as tho "Moonlight Sonata lo "Madame Wang." What we do think, ^however, is that the words of this song are of 'a much higher poetical character than are 'our own. In one song entitled, '"Ma-ma hao ining-pai" ("O mamma, you understand well,") there is some very, vory faint approach to tunefulness—but only a feeble suggestion. Chineso must lie fond of these songs, as we are told that some of them have forty-eight vefses. In a funeral or a wedding march expressions of grief or joy are utterly indistinguishhblc. ,ArPERS,

As to tlw instruments, there are several guitars, a particularly ubsun.4. two-string violin, tlutos, a telescopic kind of trombone, a long trumj*?t, cymbals, clappers, triangles, with gong* and drums in endless variety, ijlogant Chinese of a former period used to play on tho chMn—a long kind of zither that seven strings.

The erh-hsien, or ten-stringed viojkin, is met with all over China. The neck is a hollow l*unbo, the body a cocoanut shell. -The ten strings are tuned in fifths. A very ingenious and dreadfully complicated musical apparatus must be the yang-ch'in, or foreign harjkiohonl.

Sow it laughs alotd and passes, As it eats the close cliff grasses How it sings again and whistles

As it shakes the stoat sea thistlesHow it sings! How it shrieks, shrieks, shrieks in the crannies of the headland, In the gashes of the creeks

To the cornfield and the cloverHow it shrieks! How it roars, roars, roars in the iron under* caverns, In the hollows of the shorn

How it roars anew, and thunders, As the strong hull splits and sunders, And the spent ship, tempest driven,

On the reef lies rent and riven— How it roarsl

A New Application of Klcctricity. Son 10 genius has conceived an entirely new application of electricity. An Electric News company lias been formed with a view to printing newspapers in different parts of London and the country simultaneously. A transmitter in the form of a piano-like instrument will be stationed at some central point. This will communicate with four district stations, where, with all the stock in trade of a printing oftico, including machines like those used by The London Times, will bo fixed a receiving apparatus which, as the transmitting instrument is played upon by the central operator, will set type in every required form. This will then be stereotyped, and in due course four newspapers will be produced simultaneously in four different parts of London.

The comjKiny claims that its system applies to long distances as well as short, and does not despair of covering the country with the invention. A machine has, I think, been constructed, but the final teste have not been applied. One or two of the great London journals havd had an outline of the plan laid before them, but the company will not permit any inspection of the process. There are many wonders yet to be revealed to us, but I don't think newspaper proprietors will exactly pine for this particular use of electricity.— Frederic Dalys London Letter.

Utilising the Flying Ant* of Burmali. The ants do not bite, like the musquito, but coming in Itattalions, the only resource for tho beseiged is turning out the lights or ignominious flight into darkness, until the plague has passed. I have seen a welt-lighted ballroom invadod by these flying ants in Maulmain, effectually putting a stop to dancing. Round each of the lights thousands of these insects swarmed, covering with their wings and bodies any one who ventured near.

Tho Burmese —tn whom little comes amiss in the eating lino— fry the flying ants in oil, and pronounce them of excellent flavor. I have met with but one Englishman who is of the same opinion, and be relishes a Burman ant curry quite as highly as a gourmand at home does a peculiarly fine Stilton cheese.

The flying ants of Burraah have this in their favor: in their short life they only emerge from moth?r earth and tly toward the Hght, and in thefc- winged career they often eat nothing before they immolate tbannelres at the noarest lamp when what remains of them is gladly turned to account by Jack Buraian, and often forms a savory meal, with rW. for himself and family.—Foreign 1 *?tt.v

BEAUFORT LABORATORY

A UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR'S

tifo »f a Scientist »t the Seaside—Appliances for Study *nd Investigation—A Great Deal of "Work Done Near the Middle of the Night—Methods.

In a conversation lately with Plof. Henry Nachtrieb, of the state university, that gentleman gave a graphic hfioount of Ufa at. the seaside laboratory near Beaufort, N. C.,|piHlitained by the John Hopkim univenritsr. According to the professor's statement, the laboratory has been variously located on the coast, at the "Rip Raps."

at

Fortress Monroe,

at Hampton, Va., etc, but the present location is most favorable in many re6p6cts. The laboratory is provided with an excellent yatcb, steam launch, a number of row boats, a dredge lor collecting submarine forms, small dredges for more delicate work, with a great variety of shovels and spades for digging in the shoals. There are also several forms of dip nete and tow nets and a large troll net. The building occupied is of cypress wood, put together with copper nails. So far as possible, each man is given a room and a table. The appliances for prosecuting his work consists of a microscope, a number of small glass vessels, and a large glass jar, in which he keeps his live material for future use or for the purpose of studying appearance and habits. Various instruments and chemicals complete the outfit.

The time for collecting the material depends on the tides a good deaL Other things being favorable, the evening when the water is very still is to be preferred. The yatch, steam launch or row boats are called into requisition as the occasion may demand. It may be 10 or 12 o'clock at night before the material is brought into the laboralory. Then each of the men takes his tumbler full, goes into the little room and consumes the midnight hours in a patient study of the form of life which he finds in the water. Most of the animals are microscopic that is, they would seem so to the uninitiated eye. But the trained scientist can detect them in the water quite readily. Copious drawings are made, and the live material is put to as itiuch use as possible on the spot.

AT! O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING. Each of the men is usually working up some special animal, and to that he devotes his exclusive attention. It may be that there are only certain hours of the day or night when he mn find his animal in the water. For instance, one of the men discovered that the animal he was working up discharged its eggs only at 4 o'clock in the moniinj Accordingly, in order to studv of the animal he was obligedjfc do his coll ing at that hour.

A great deal of the laboratory work is done in or near the middle of tB^night. Perhaps. that accounts, in some measuta, for tb liar feeling which the natives regaia these men of science. They work make up for it by sleeping in tt^jda&atilne. Very little dissecting or sectioning iliftie at the laboratory, partly from the fact that it jp difficult to use chloroform in that damp, humid climate, and partly because it is preferred to study the living appearance and habits of the animals when they are fresh, and tnortrmtatitrfltudy for Whe leisure thetijy organ

THE CHAPLAIN OF.THE HOUSE. A Blind Man's Accomplishments and Information—Memory of Faoes!

Now and then one notices in the current gossip of the newspapers allusions to Rev. Henry W. Milburn, who is now, for the third time, acting as the chaplain of the house of representatives at Washington. He was an historian, a biographer, an encyclopediast, a physiognomist, a preacher, a gossip, a bon Vivant, a finished gentleman. No portion of the world seemed impervious to his mental vision. Sightless, he saw more than hundreds of other men combined, who have studied life with open eyes, and with no faculty impaired {nany direction.

She did not answei\ she in picking up the crown of roees which had fallen from her hair to the floor. "If I had not been taught to love monev so! she said at length. "If, like Eleanore. I could Jook upon the splendor which has been ours from childhood, as a mere accessory oi nfe, easy to be dropped at the call of duty or affection If prestige, adulations, and elegant belongings were nbt so much to me, or love, friendship, and domestic happiness more! If only I could walk a step without dragging the chain of a thousand luxurious longings after me! Eleanore can. Lordly as she is in her beautiful womanhood, haughty as she can be when the delioate quick of her personality is touchedtoo rudely, I have known her to sit by the hour in a low, chilly, ill-lighted and ill-smelling garret, cradling a dirty child on her knee, and feeding with her own hand an impatient old woman whom no one else would consent to touch. Oh, oh, they talk about repentance and a change of heart! If some one would only change mine! But there is no hope of that! no hope of my ever being anything else than what I am, a selfish, wilful, mercenary girl!"

Nor was this mode a mere transitory one. That same night she made a discovery which increased her apprehension almost to terror. This was nothing less than the fact that Eleanore-bad been keeping a diary of the last few weeks. "Oh," she cried, in relating this to me the next day, "what security shall 1 ever feel as long as this diary of hers remains to confront me every time I go into my room. And she will not consent to destroy it, though I have done my beat to show her that it is a betrayal, of the trust I reposed in her. She says that it is all there is to show her reasons for doing as she has, and that without it she would lack means of defence, it uncle should ever accuse her of treachery to bim and his happiness. She promises to keep it locked up, but what good will that do! A thousand acoidents might happen, any of them sufficient to throw it into uncle's hands. 1 shall never feel safe for a moment while it exists."

I endeavored to calm her by saying that if Eleanore was without malice, such fears were groundless. But she wonld not be comforted, and seeing her so wrought up, I suggested that she should ask Eleanore to deliver it into my keeping until such a time as she should feel the necessity of using it. The idea struck Mary favorably. "Ob, yes," cried she "and I will put my certificate with it and so get rid of all my care at once!" And before the afternoon was over, she had seen Eleanore and made her request.

It was acceded to with this proviso, that I was neither to destroy nor give up all or any of the papers except upon their united demand. A small tin box was accordingly procured, into which were put all the proofs of Mary's marriage then existing, viz.: the certificate, Mr. Clavering's letters, and such loaves from Eleanore's diary as referred to this matter. It was then banded over to me with the stipulation I have already mentioned, ana I stowed it away iu a certain closet upstairs, where it has lain undisturbed till last night. [CONTINUED NEXT WEKK.]
