Abstract
THERE are few more beautiful phenomena in experimental physics than those presented by the image of the manometric flame as one sees it in the revolving mirror. Especially is this true when the flame is excited by means of the complex tones of the human voice or by some musical instrument such as the violin, which possesses pronounced and varying tone colour.
