Show To Hear Fire Sing. I Flro can be made to sing. A writer I says: "Take a lighted candle and I blow gently against tho flame. You 1 will hear a peculiar fluttering sound. M Tho fluttering sound is fire's first at- I tempts at music. Instead of the un- I steady breath of our lips, let us em- I ploy tho steady blast of a blowpipe. Instead of tho pale and flickering light ' of a candle, let us use tho bright and ardent glare of a chemist's lamp. When you havo a lamp and blowpipe can make fire sing In earnest." |
