The following abstract of Profcsnor Tyndail-n riotis experimental lecture upon Kinging and dancine flame, delivered at the Rojral hutiUition, hftfl tieon contributed by himself to the last nnmbor of the Philosophical Mmjn mnt. The Bounding of a hydrogen flame when inclosed wlthiu a glass tube was, I believe, frst noticed by Dr. llipgins, in 1777. The nbject has been since investigated by Chlndoi, To La Rive, Faraday, Wheatstono, Kijkij, Sondhauss, and Kundt. The action of uriifi' aant sounds on flames lnolosed In tubes has I part in the United States. He made the important observation that the flame did not jump until rtwas near uanng. mat the discovery was aot further followed up by this learned inves tigator was probably due to too great a stretch f courtesy on his part towards myself. Last year, while preparing the experiments for one f my "Juvenile Lectures," my late assistant, Mr. Uarrctt, observed the effect independently; and he afterwards succeeded in illustrating it bv some very striking experiments. With a view to the present discourse, and also to the reciuirenients or a lortiicoming worn on sound. the subject of sounding and sensitive flames has been recently Buuniittea to examination in the laboratory of the Royal Institution. The principal results of the inquiry are embodied in the following abstract: "Pass a steadily burning candle rapidly through the air, you obtain an indented band flight, while an almost musical sound heard at ' the same time announces the rhythmio character ot the motion, it, on the other hand, you blow against a candle flame, the fluttering noise produced indicates a rhythmio action, When a fluttering of the air is produced at the embouchure of an organ pipe, the resonance of the pipe reinforces that particular pulse of the flutter whose period of vibration coincides with its own, and raises it to a musical sound. When a gas flame is introduced into an open tube of suitable length and width, the current of air passing over the flame produces such a flutter, which the resonance of the tube exalts to a musical sound. Introducingagas flame into this tin tube three feet long, we obtain a rich musical note; introducing it into a tube six feet long, we obtain a note an octave deeper the pitch of the note depending on the length of the tube. Introducing the flame into this third tube, which is fifteen feet long, the Bound assumes extraordinary intensity. The vibrations which produce it are sufficiently powerful to shake the pillars, floors, seats, gallery, and the five or six hundred people who occupy the seats and gallery. The flame is sometimes extinguished by its own violence, and ends its peal by an explosion as loud as a pistol shot. The roar of a flame in a chimney is of this character; it is a rude attempt at ronsic. By varying the size of the flame, these tubes may bo caused to emit their harmonic aounda. Passing from large pipes to small ones, we obtain a series of musical notes which rise in pitch as the tube diminishes in length. This flame, surrounded by a tube 17J inches long, vibrates 458 times Jn a second; while that contained in this tube, 10 inches long, vibrates 717 times in a second. Owing to the intense heat of the sounding column, hese numbers are greater than those corres ponding to organ pipes of the same length sounding in air. The vibrations of the flame consist of a series of partial extinctions and revivals of the ilame. The singing flame ap pears continuous; but if the head be moved to and fro, or if an opera glass directed to the flame be caused to move to and fro, or if, after the method of Wheatstone, the flame be regarded in a mirror which is caused to rotate, the images due to the revivals of the flame are separated from each other, and form a chain of flames of great beauty. With a longer tube and larger flame, by means of a concave mirror, J can project this chain of flames upon a screen. I first clasp my hand round the end of the tube so as to prevent the current of air which causes the flutter from passing over the flame; the image of the flame is now steady upon the screen before you. I move the mir ror, and you have tliis continuous luminous band. I withdraw my hand, the current of air passes over the flame, and instantly tho band breaks up into a chain of images. A position an be chosen in the tube at which the flame i bursts spontaneously into song. A position may also be chosen where the flame is silent, ' Irot at which, if it could only be started, it would continue to sound. It is possible to Btart such a silent flame by a pitch-pipe, by the siren, or by the human voice. It is also possi- Die to cause one flame to effect the musical ignition of another. The sound which starts the flame must be nearly in unison with its own. Both flames must be so near unison as to produce distinct beats. A flame may be employed to detect sonorous vibrations in air. Thus,. in front of this resonant case, which supports a large and powerful tuning fork, I move this bright gas flame to and fro. A continuous band of light is produced, slightly indented through the friction of the air. The fork is now sounded, and instantly this band breaks up into a series of distinct images of the flame. Approaching the same flame to wards either end of one of our tin tubes with the sounding flames within it, and causing it to move to and fro, the sonorous vibrations also effect the breaking up of the band of light into a chain of images. In this glass tirtie, four- teen inches long, a flame is sounding. I brin the flat flame of a fish-tail burner over the tube" the broad sipe of the flame being at right angle's to the axis of the tube. The fish-tail ilanuf in stantly emits a musical note of the same pitch aa that of the singing flame, but of different quality. Its sound is, hi fact, that of a mem Lrane, the part of which it here plavs. Against a broad bat's-wing flame I allow a sheet of air issuing from a thin slit, to imping,). A musi cal note is the cousequeB.ce. The note can lie produced by air or by carbonic acid, but it is produced with greater force aud tiuritv hv oxygen. The pitch of the note depends 01l the distance of the slit from the flame, llefore you burns a bright candle flame, i may shout, clap my hands, sound this whistle, strike this anvil with a hammer, or explode a mixture of oxj-gen and hydro Ken; though sonorous waves pass in each case through the air, the caudle is abso lutely insensible to the sound; there is no motion of the flame. I now urge from this small blowpipe a narrow stream of air through the flame of the candle, producing thereby an incipient flutter, and reducing the brightness of the flume. I now sound the whistle; the'flame jumps visibly. Matters may be bo arranged that when the whistle sounds the flame shall be either almost restored to its pristine brightness, or the amount of light it still possesses shall disappear, Before you now burns a bright flame from a fish-tail burner. I may, as before, shout, clap my hands, sound a whistle, or strike an anvil; the flame remains steady and without response. 1 urge against the broad face of the flame a eiima of air from the llow-pipe juutem keen investigated by Count Schaflgotsch flir L wysclf. The jumping of a naked flshJaiP-K11"1 n . r oMl" "'K Jame, In response to musical Rounds, was fiiWf4 1,10 wiiipue. i urnin noticed bv rrofessor Leconte at a miml! nurtfl f" sounding again, the THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. FIIILADEI. ployed. The flnme is rut in two by the stream of air; it flatter slightly; nd How, when the I whistle is sounded, the name instantly ftarts. A knock on the table causes the. two half flames to unite and form for an instant a flam! of the ordinary shape. By a slight variation of the experiment, the two side Unities dis appear when the whittle is sormded, and a central tongue of flame is thrust forth in their stead. "Passing from a fish-tail to a batVwing burner, 1 obtain this broad, steady flame. It is quite insensible to the loudest sound which would le tolerable here. The flame is fed from this gas-holder, which places a ower of pressure at my disposal unattainable from the gas-pipes of the Institution. I turn on more gas. ine name enlarges, but it is Still Insen sible to sound. 1 enlarge it still more, and now e answer to the Bound g on a littb more gas, lumtniie of the flame i8 still more distinct. Finally 1 turn on cas until the flame is on the point of roaring, an flames do when the pressure is too great. I now sound my whistle; the flame roars and thrusts suddenly upward eight long quivering tongues. I utriko this distant anvil with a hammer; the flame instantly responds by thrusting forth its tongues. Another flame is now be fore yon. It Junes from a burner formed of ordinary gas tubing by my assistant. The flame is eighteen in hes long, and smokes co piously. I sound the whistle; the flame falls to a height of nin.) in. hes, the smoke disap pears, and the brilliancy of the flame is aug mented. Here are two other flame, also issuing from burners formed bv my assistant. The one of them is long, straight, and smoky; the other is short, forked, and brilliant. I sound the whistle; the long flame becomes short, forked, and brilliant; the forked il.mie becomes long and snioky. As regard ;, there fore, their response to the sonorous waves, the one of these flames is the exact complement of the other. Hern are various Hat flames, ten inches high and about three inches across at their widest part. They are purposely made forked flames. When the whistle sounds, the plane of each Ilame turns ninety degrees round, and continues in its new position as long as the whistle continues to sound. Here, again, is a flame of admirable steadiness and brilliancy, issuing from a single circular orifice in a common iron nipple. I whistle, clap my hands, strike the anvil, and produce Other sounds; the flame is nerfectlv stead v. Observe the gradual change from; this apathy to sensitiveness. The flame is now four inches high. I make its height six inches; it is still indifferent. I make it ten inches; a barely per ceptible quiver responds to the whistle. I make it fourteen inches high, and now it jumps briskly the moment the anvil is tapped or the whistle sounded. I augment the pressure; the flame is now sixteen inches long, and you l- serve a quivering which announces that the flame is near roaring. I increaso the pressure: it now roars, and shortens at the same time to a height of eight inches. I diminish the pres sure a little; the flame is again sixteen inches long, but it is on the point of roaring. It stands, as it were, on the brink of a precipice. The whistle pushes it over. Observe, it shortens when the whistle sounds, exactly as it did when the pressure was in excess. The sonorous pulses, in fact, furnish the supple ment of energy necessary to produce the roar and Shorten the Ilame. This is the simple phi losophy of all these sensitive flames. "The pitch of the note chosen to push the flame over the brink is not a matter of indif ference. I have here a tuning-fork ' which vibrates 256 times in a second, emitting a clear and forcible note. It has no effect upon this flame. Here are three other forks, vibrating respectively 320, 384, and 512 times in a second. Not one of them produces the slightest impression upon the flame. But, besides their fundamental notes, these forks can bo caused to sound, ft series of over notes of very high pitch. I sound this series of notes; the vibra tions are now 1G00, 2000, 2400, and 3200 per second respectively. Tke flame jumps in response to each of these notes, the response to the highest note of the series being the most prompt and energetic of all. To the tap of a hammer upon a board the flame responds; but to the tap of the same hammer upon an iluvil the response is much more brisk and animated. The reason is, that the clang of the anvil is rich in the higher tones, to which the flame is most sensitive. Here again is an inverted bell, which I cause to sound by means of a fiddle bow, producing a powerful tone. The flame is unmoved. I bring a half-penny into contact with the surface of the bell; the conse quent rattle contains the high notes to which the flame is sensitive. It instantly shortens, flutters, and roars when the coin touches the bell. Here is another flame, twenty inches long. 1 take this flddle in my hand, and pass a bow over the three strings, which emit the deepest notes. There is no response on the part of the flame. I sound the highest string; the jet instanty squats down to a tumultuous bushy flame, eight inches long. I have here a small bell, the hammer of which is caused to descend by clock-work.l hold it at a distance f twenty yards from the flame. The strokes followed each other in rythmic suc cession, and at every stroke the flame falls from a height of 20 to a height of 8 inches. The rapidity with which sound is propagated through air is well illustrated by these ex periments. There is no sensible interval be tween the stroke of the bell and the shortening of the flame. Some of these flames are of mar vellous sensibility, one such as is at present burning before you. It is nearly 20 inches long, but the slightest tap on a distant anvil knocks it down to 8. I shake this bunch of keys or these few copper coins in my hand; the flame responds to every tinkle. I may stand at a distance of 20 yards from this flame; the dropping of a sixpence from the height of a couple of incites into a hand already containing coin, knocks the flame down. 1 cannot walk across the floor without affecting the flame; the creaking of my boots sets it in violent commotion; the crumpling of a bit of paper or the rustling of a silk dress does the same; it is startled by the plashing of a raindrop; I speak to the ilame, repeating a few lines of poetry; the flame jumps at intervals, appa rently picking certain sounds from my utter ance to which it can respond, while it is un affected by others. "In our experiments down stairs we have called this the vowel flame, because the dif ferent vowel sounds affect it differently. Vowel sounds of the same pitch are known to be readily distinguishable. Their qualities or clang-tints are different, though they have a eommon fundamental tone. They differ from each other through the admixture of higher tones with the fundamental. It is the presence ottheso higher tones indifferent proportions that characterizes the vowel sounds; and it is to these same tones, and not to the funda mental one, that our flame is sensitive. I utter a loud and sonorous U, the flame re mains steady; I change the Bound to O, the flame quivers; I sound K, and now the flame is affected strongly, i mter the wor,i9 boot, boat, and the beat in succession. To the first there is no response; to the second the flame starts; but by the third it is thrown into violent commotion; the sound Ah! i still more powerful. Whtn the rowel Bound, are analysed, their constituents are found to vary in accordance with the foregoing experiments, those characterised by the sharpest overtones being the most pow- rruu exciiauiN i uie name, (tee Holm-holt:-: in Pogg. 'Annalen.' vol. rrvlil. t 2Hi.) The flame is peculiarly sensitive to the utterance of the letter S. If the most distant person iu the room were to favor me with a 'hiss,' the name would lo Instantly shivered into tumult. 1 he utterance of the word 'hush' or 'puss' produces the same effect The hissing sound contains the precise ele ments that most forcibly affect the flame. The gas issues from its burner with a hiss, and an external pound of thin character added to that of a gas let already on the point of Roaring, is equivalent to an augmentation ef pressure on tho issuing stream of gas. I hold in my hand a metal box containing eoinnreHmeil nir. I tnrn the cock for a moment, so as to allow a puff to escape the flame instantly ducks down, not by any transfer of air from the box to the flame, for I stand at a distance which utterly excludes this idea; it is tho sound of xne issuing air that affects the flame. The hiss produced in one orifice precipitates the tumult uv uie oiner. WATCHE3, JEWELRY, ETC. ims LADOMUS&CO.
