Who Originated Them, Once Used,

Richard Pockrich, an Irishman who
lived in the eighteenth century, was
R true genius, a dreamer and an in-
ventor. He proposed metal ships, pre-
dicted flying tnachiues, advocated bog
drainage and vine planting in the Em-
erald isle, Invented an instrument for

years a brewer in Dublin.
It was in the•domaln of art that he

known to general European civilization
during bis lifetime and by which his
name will long survive. He invented
the musical glasses. These can be.
heard today in vaudeville houses all
over the world and will probably sur-
vive as long as the musical art itself.
Most of our readers have beard them.
They are simply a set of tumbler or
goblet like glasses selected for tonal
quality to carry out a musical scale.
l"ockrieh seems to have been the first
man to be struck by the musical tone
glass, and so he thought the thing
alt and produced a scale on which be
:ould play any melody.

sent into raptures over the musical
;lasses. Gluck, the great composer,
who was in London, did not disdain
to play his immortal airs upon them.
-The opera flourishes more than in
any recent year," wrote Horace Wal-
pole to a friend. "The composer is
Gluck. a German. lae is to have a
benefit, at which he is to play a set

you speak of some such thing."
Not only did Gluck perform upon
Poeitrioll's new instraaient, but Bee-
thoven, Mozart and other, great mu-
;it•ians in later years rtetually com-
posed music for it. Goldsmith refers
to it in "The Vicar of Wakefield." Not
long after the inventor visited Loudon.
inti Benjamin Franklin speaks of him
to a leder to a friend thus:
"You have doubtless heard the sweet
tone that is drawn from a drinking
Oass by passing a wet finger round its
brim. One Mr. Pockrich, a gentleman
from Ireland, was the first who thought
of 'playing tunes formed of such tones.

h
different sizes; fixed them neareach
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-

glasses, that illustrates the surprising
ffect of his own performance on them.

sition, who lived in. Dublin at the time:
"Mr. Pockrich in his brewery nese

seized by bailiffs, thus addressed them:
"'Gentlemen, I am your prisoner, but
before I do myself the honor to attend
yon give me leave as an humble per-
former in musick to entertain you with
a tune.'
"'Sir,' exclaimed one of the bailiffs,
'we came here to execute our warrant,
not to "hear tunes."'
"'Gentlemen,', says the captain, to
submit to your authority, but in the
interim while you are only taking a
dram—here, Jack (calling to his serv-
ant), bring a bottle of the Rosa Solis I
lately distilled—I say, gentlemen, be-
fore you take a dram I shall dispatch
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-
erty. 'Tis well playing upon glasses
is not more common; if it were I be-
lieve our trade would find little em-
ployment.'"

Pockrich developed as no man had
ever dreamed of before was the drum.

The Toronto Star has been publishing an "honor" made up of Conserva-
tives who are putting country before party by voting for reciprocity.
None of the names which figure on the list are directors of great financial
corporations. The names are all those of farmers engaged in earning their bread
by honest industry. Because: this is so the Toronto World indulges in a sneer,
illustrativer'of the spirit which is being developed in this country—illustrative of
the spirit under which the man who earns his living by his own toil is coming to
be despised, while the man who gets his living by exploiting the toll of others is
exalted. The. World says:
The Toronto Star is evidenty relying' on Conservative votes to
carry reciprocity. It makes an "Honor Roll' of 36 Conservatives who
are said to be in favor of reciprocity, And it has had to Scour the coun-
try through to find them. The Star could not find space for the names
of the Liberals who will vote against reciprocity, and the roll of Liberals
of the first rank would be far longer than that of the handful of unimpor-
tant Conservatives the Star has gathered together.
Included in the Star's honor roll were the names of F. M. Lewis, who has
one ofthe best tilled farms in Brant county, and who is always welcomed at
Farmer's Institute meetings, where he tells of lessons learned in his own practi-
cal experiences;
