Y. Ledger. eer A Singular Exhibition in London. A new exhibition in London, called the “An- hropoglossos,”’ is thus described by the Times. « The room in St. James’s Hall, long enlivened i} y Christy’s Minstrels is now devoted to a ingular exhibition, bearing for its title the «dd word, Anthropoglossos. Entering the com the spectator finds his attention attract- ed by & large waxen head, bearing no slight recembiqnce to the late M. Jullien, with some- thing like a silver funnel stuck into its mouth. This head does not stand on a pedestal, but is sustained by gilded chains suspended from the ceiling. At the first glance it might be taken for & very idealized “A untSally,” buton closer inspection the spectator will perceive below the basta small giass case containing some sort of mechanical apparatus. Toan aperture in this case the exhibitor applies a key, and after a winding-up process has been duly ac- complished, a pair of little bellows are seen to work, and the sound of a human voice, sing- ing the musie and words of 4 song, quite as dis- tinctly as any flesh and blood vocalists, issues trom the mouth of the head. Six songs, termi- mating with “God save the Queen,” consti- tute the entire entertainment. Two other heads, likewise with funnelsin their mouths, may be observed at the back of the room, but these are not yet brought into active operation. When their musical education is complete we may possibly be fayored with duets and trios. «It we remember right it was Alexander the Great who played the lyre withsuch wonder- tul skill as to elicit from his father the remark that the performance was too good for the future king. Inthe same manner, notwith- standing the assurance that the loss of ‘ Polly Perkins” and the fascination of the “dark girl dreseed in blue,” are celebrated “by means of the nicest and most exquisitely constructed mechanism,” we cannot help remarking that the articulation is almost too unexceptionable for a machine. There is nothing wooden or metallic, or squeaky or hitchy, in the whole performance, but the lyric effusions go off as glibly as though some artist of the Music Halls ‘were singing them through one of those pipes that form a communication between the princi- pal’s parlor and the clerk’s room in & mer- chant’s counting-house. Hence we fear wick- ed Pyrrhonists will arise who will doubt the connection between the winding-up of the machine and the utterance of the melodies. Of course they will be altogether wrong, but the presence of a voice decidedly human would have incalculably increased the facil- ityofrefutingthem. - «« However, the skeptic and the believer will both agree thatthe exhibition is extremely in- genious. The head is not large enough to con- tain any human performer, nor does it comma- nicate inany visible manner with any remote source of sound. There it hangs in chains, in a state of defiant insulation, and if you will not believe that its voice proceeds from the little bellows, it challenges you to point out an- other origin. i «To most persons of the present generation the « Anthropoglossos” will, we think, be an absolute novelty, but the old among us will, perhaps, recollect that at a time when tne name of Madame Tussaud was unknown in London there was, on the southern side of Fleet street, a collection of wax figures, osten- sitly belonging to one Mrs. Salmon. In one of the rooms of the edifice that contained this collection was the so-called «Invisible Girl,” a small suspended box, from which is- sued a voice that answered questions and sang songs. Whether theeld « Invisible Girl” was similar in principleto the « Anthropoglossos” we cannotsay.” WF An English mechanic has invented a cooking range with some new features. The upper bar of the fire-grate is increased in breadth, and placed in an angular position, so as to direct the air downwards upon the fire, thereby producing more perfect combustion. The increased heat, instead of being carried up the fines or chimney, which is the case where there is a close door in front of the fire, is thrown outwards, by which simple ar- Yangement a strong roasting fire is obtained, and atthe same time the oven, boiler, and hob-plate are heated in asuperior manner. A 10-inch fire is said to be capable of roasting a joint of meat, and a12-inch fire of roasting two joints. It is also found that the fire bars last jonger than usual, one or two sets, which have been in constant use for upwards of five years, being still almost as perfect as when first applied. The effects produced by this very simple change of form are certainly worth in- quiring into. Female ComposiTors.—The Council Blaffs Nonpareil announces that having been desert- ed by the Be boys, who- have ‘gone to the wars,” it has “enlisted” about nalf a dozen of the best looking girls in town, and is now «training up” a corps of compositors not sub- ject to the draft. The jubilant editor adds: Come on, now, with your “calls” and your *conscription,” Father Abraham, we are ready for you; take all the soldiers you want, only Jeaye us our } Raiee mare And ye, peregrina- ting printers of the masculine persuasion, don’t come this way; we want none of you; eve case is taken; we have all the force we need. Blessed be crinoline! vere was the head of the great showman level when he uttered, as by inspiration, his immortal toast: « Femail ‘woman, you are agood egg!” — Multum in hoops / A Sprmper CAPTURES a SNAKE.—The Orleans «N.Y.) Republican says Hon. Lorenzo Bur- rows discovered, one day last week, in an unoccupied store of his at Albion, a snake one foot in height in the coil ofa spidgr’s web. The snake had been drawn up from'the floor about half his height, and the little spider was above working the tackle by which he intend- ed to wholly suspend him, and that by the neck, where he had coiled his web. The snake struggled in vain to escape, and was only re- leased by the carelessness of a man who went to see the contest, which was witnessed by hundreds of people during the day. 7 Westminister Abbey is to havea monnu- ment erected to the memory of Thackarey. m7 Gov.
