Perhnp3 the most familiar of mystc
rious sounds are those ' produced by
the ventriloquist; familiar because
almost every county fair 13 visited, by
one or other of these exhibitors ; xnya
tenons because the rcalsonrce ot sou ml
does not corresiond with the apparent.
It lies within the province of ti e
anatomist or physiologist to explain
why it is that some men can speak
from tho stomach instead of from the
throat, and without any perceptible
movement of the lips; but the person
who can do this, the ventriloquist, may
make himselT a most bewildering de
ceiver of those who listen to him. Our
power, of determining the exact direc
tion whenc e .1 s'onnd conies is less than
we usually imagine. It is said that
Ravillc Carej-, who could well imitate
the whistling of the wind, would some
times amuse himself by exerting this
art m a public coflec house: some of
me gtics.3 at once rose to see whether
the windows' Were quite closed, while
others would button up their coats, as
if cold. iSir David IJrcwsler notices a
ventriloquist' of exceptional skill, M.
St. Gille, who one day entered a church
where some monks were lamenting the
death cf a brother. Suddenly thev
heard a voire, as if from over their
heads, bewailing the'. condition of the
departed in purgatory, nhd reproaching
Ihern for thifir want of zeal. -Not sus
pecting the t.rick, they fell On their
faces and chanted the ? Profundi.
A committee appointed by- the acade
ruie.des sciences to report on the phe
nomena of ventriloquism went with Jr.
St. -(jillc to the house of a lady, to
whom they announced that they had
come to investigate a case of aerial
"spirits''-somewhere in the neighbor
hood. During the interview she hfard
what she termed "spirit voices'' above
her head, underneath the floor, and in
distant parts of ! the 100111, and was
with difficulty convinced that the only'
spirit present was the ventriloquistic
voioc of M. St. ; Gille. lire water' .tells,
of another master of this art, Louis
Jirabant, valet dc chambre to Francis
I., whose suit was rejected by the pa
rents of a beautiful and well-dowered
girl with whom he was in love. ".', fie
c alled on the. mother after the death of
the father, again to urge his suit ; an l
while1, he .Was present she heard ,tbe,
voice of her deceased husband express
ing remorse for having rejected Louis
Jirabant, and conjuring her toglve her
immediate consent to the betrothal.
Frightened and alarmed, she consent
ed. Iirabant, deeming it desirable to
behave- liberally in the marriage ar
rangements, but having notmncii cash
at command, resolved to try whether
his ventriloquism would be as efllcar
cious with a money lending banker as
it had been with the widow. Calling
on an old usurer at Lyons,, he man
aged that the conversation should itirn
upon the subject of demons, sjieclres,
and purgatory. Suddenly was heard
the' voice of the usurer's father, com
plaining of the, horrible sufferings he
was enduring hi; purgatory, arid say
ing there was no Way Of obtaining al
leviation except ly the usurer advanc
ing money to the visitor lor the sake
of: rausoming Christians fiom . the
hands of the Turks. The usurer, was
terrified., but was too much in love
with liis gob' to yield at' once. ' Iira
bant went next'd ay and resumed the
conversation, when shortlylwere heard
the voides of d host of dead relations',,
all. telling the same terrible storj, an J
all pointing out the 01.lv Way of ob
taining relief.' ' The usurer could resist
no longer; he placed 10,000 crowns in
the hands ot the unsuspected Ventrilo
quist, who, of course, forgot to pay it
over for the, ransom of Christians
either - in Turkey or - anjwhere .clsel
Vhen the usurer learned , afterward
how he had been dujed,' he di6d of
vexation. Of all -products of the so
called mysterious sounds, Dr..T.yiv
dall's sensitive or vowel flame fs one
of the most curious. : Out of a partic
ular kind of gas, with a burner of .pe
culiar construction, the. learned pro
fespf produces a lighted jet of flame
nearly two' fJct in height,, extremely
narrow, and so exquisitely sensitive to
sounds that it sings and dances up and
down in'-response to everything that is
Jtiliij rfsaul, 'with different degrees' f
rfrihifity for dirfercnt'vowel soir.td?.
''The. slightest tap on a distant anvil
reduces . its height to seven inches.
When a bunch of keys is shaken the
JIame U violently agitated and emits a
lond roar. The dropping of a sixpence
into a hand already containing coin,
at a distance of twenty yards, knocks
the. flame down.. - Jt is not possible to
Walk across the floor without agitating
tbe flftme 'The creaking of boots sets
it in violent commotion.,. .The crump
ling or tearing of paper, or themstle
.of n silk dreas, does the same. It is
startled by thi patter of a rain drop.
I hold a watch near the flaiue ;'. iiolxdy .
1ie9ir its 'ticks, but you' all kec. their
iT).tTurion the flame at every tick it
fairs'" and 'roars.' The winding up of
the" watch also prodnces tnrnull 'J'he
twittering of a distant sparrow shrieks
iu"'the flame; the note of a cricket
would do the same. ' A chirrup from
a distwee of thirty yards causes it to
fall and roar.' ' In reference to the
.6wer of1' the flame to respond to po
etry, the professor says, "The flame
selects from the sounds those to which
it pan respond ; it notices some by the
slightest, noil, to some its beisance is
'very profqun J, while to many sounds
itturua.an entirely deaf . ear. "CViaai

rOKTHAITS OX SILK.
Locatecl in tlie sontlieaatern section of
tliO wonen8 pavilion Uicro is exhibited by
JIrs S. lrilcy, wife of 3Ir. Aified A. Ililey,
of Louisville. Kentucky, probably the most
tvonderftil piece of ncefllo work ever dono
in tbe world. It ia rtntmen that t ney equal
if they do Dot snrpRfs tbe Gobelin in the
main hair. Th woi k exhibited consists of
eight pictures, one of them a portrait of
.T.mes Bridgeford, of Louisville, Kaitcky.
The others are fit Queen .Victoria, Prince
Albert, the Prince and Princess or Wales,
and Princess Uoyal of England, now Crown
Princess of. Germany, and the battle of
Langside or tbe death of Uonglass in de
fonse of JIarv Oneen of Scots:. the latter
being the most elaborate and representing
Donglasa dying m mil armor on me neia,
liishoi-se near arid his knights about liim.
The Queen is partially bent over him and
the priest holds a cross to . DanprlaRs face.
An oak tree covers the whole group," and
the blending of colore and shading of the
faces and garments of the pcisotiages is
simply indescribable. -
: Part of the work npon the portraits ex
hibited has been done in Europe and part
in this country. ' The portraits are probably
more remarkable than tho more ambitious
of the pictures, as they are stitched with
silk, black and wliitb so beautifully, and
artistically blended, that tliey canuot when
in tbe frame, mounted, be told without the
closest scrutiny 'from line Bteel engravings
oretchiug. , .
It is assuredly the perfection of art and
the triumph of liatience and skill. There
are portraits of Hon. W. E. Gladstone and
John Bright, the latter unfinished and in
tended to sliow, and it proves beyond a
doubt, that the drawing has Itcen done en
tirely with a needle. The Queen, Prince
Albei t and Prince and Princess of Wales
are'ln colors, and are equal to the celebia
ted Gobelin above alluded to in brilliancy
and delicacy of shading. The Gladstone,
Bright and Bridgeport portraits are to imi
tate engravings, and are said to be superior
to tbe Gobelin, being correct likenesses and
finer work, nnd it in well nigh impossiblo
to toll without a microscopic: glass that they
were drawu with a needle. The portraits
are in white silk, done with a fine' roedlo,
with silk which is taken from tho cocoon
of the silkworm, that alone furnishing a
fibre that is sufficiently fine.
A iKiculiaiity about this kind of work,
outside of its great beauty and finish, is
that it differs from the work of tbe painter
or sculptor, who, if be makes a mistake,
can remedy it witli brush or chisel, but a
misstitch in these X'ortraits, and tbe work
is ruined. There is ne sketching, drawing
or marking tho likeness must, be done
with the needle alone, guided by' the eye
of the true arliKt, and handled by delicate
fingers. , Tho work is very tedious, and of
course can only be doue a little at a time.
A CONSCIENTIOUS JDOG,
'. I had had this dog for sevend years, and
had never even in hiapupyiyliood known
him to steal, Ou the cont rary, ho used to
L ntakc an excellent guard to protect proper
ty from otuer animals, acrvaius, etc., even
though thene were his best friends. Mr.
Romanes hero adds hi a note, "I hare
seen this dog escort a donkey which had
baskets on it back filled with apples. Al
though the dog did not know that Ite was
being observed by anybody, be did his duty
with the utmost faithfulness; for every
time the donkey turned back its head to
take an apple out of tho baskets, the dog
snapped at its nose ; and such was his
watchfulness that although his companion
was keenly desirous of tasting some of the
fruit, he never allowed him to get a single
apple during the half hour they were left
together. I Lave also seen this ter
rier protecting' meat from other terriers
(his sons; which lived in the same house
with him, and with which he was on tbe
very Lest of ternis.' More curious still, I
have ncen him soize my wristbands while
llicy were being worn by a friend to whom
I bad temporarily Jont them." Neverthe
less, on oue occasion, je was very hungry,
and in the room whci'e I was reading and
he was sitting, there was within reach a
savory mutton chopl-'I was greatly sur
prised to see him stealthily remove this
chop and take it under a sofa. However,
I pretended not to observe that had oc
curred, and waited to see what would hap
pen next. For fully a quarter of an honr
tiiis ten ler rcniaiuo! "under the sofa wifi
out hiaking a sound, hut donbltesa endur
ing an agony of. cgult tiding feelings.'
Eventnallyr. however couscicuce. came off
victorious, , for emerging from his place' of
concealment, and carryiug-iu his mouth
the stolen chop, he came across the room
ami laid tho tempting morsel at my feet.
Tho moment he dropped the stolen proper
ty he bolted again tinder the sofa, aiid from
his retreat no coaxing could charm him for
several hours afterward. Moreover, when
during that time Ld was Spoken to or pat
led, he always turned away his head.in a
ludicrously .' coiiscieuccrSlricken tuaunei'.
Altogether I do not think it would be pos
sible to imagine a more satisfactory exhir
hi Hon of conscience, .by an animal-than
thi; Tor it- must be remembered, as-ah
jrendy stated, that the particfrlar animal in
rttTr-STion was never' beaten in 'its life.-

; Setting a Creek, on Fire.- A singular
phenomenon can now. bo etu in Ckirion
connfy, I'a., On a nrriall stream known. as
Catfish run. For a-long time-the inhabit
ants of that locality have noticed a com mo
tion 'on the surface of the water, like that
ruado , by gas'.' bubbling, to Hue surface.
These bubbles have .been. -seen for many
years, but no' particular, notice was taken
of tlicm until recently, when the quantity
of escaping gas increased, and the surface
of 'the stream for several rods was covered
with bubbles. A strong mcll of gas also
Impregnated the air in tho vicinity
Last month the place was visited by
several gen Hern en who". had . heard of the
phenomenon. They became convinced that
it was gas and determined to test itsburn
ing -qualities. A' bunch of rags was obr
tained at tf farmhouse, -and -thoroughly
Saturated with kerosene. To this a match
was applied,' and the bnrning ball thrown
into the stream. .Before it reached the
ui faca of the water, the gas ignited and a
slight explosion followed. ..'In a few mo
ments t he body of the gas burned steadily,
and in every Jiovtion of the stream small
flitntes sprang up where the gaswqaped in
moderate quantities. Since" that 'day the
gas has continued to hui-h, anfl the Area-of
the stream covered by it : has' increased,
until uow the fires- extend a quarter of a
mile up and down the run.
. Cat fish rnu is a sluggish stream bounded
on eithef side by steep, wooded bluffs. At
night the scene along the bnrning stream
is magnificent. The fires light up the dark
finest, and sparkle on the waters, making
a spectacle rarely witnessed. ' Th's stream
is contiguous to oil territory;' and the onVy
satisfactory theory of the source of the gas
is that it arises from petroleum deposits
beneath the water, aa the same pheno
menon, although the gas was in less quan
tity,' has been noticed on Oil Creek. ,
Thekb is a curiosity, of literature fn
England called the "Wcrdlefis Book." It
