Ayrton then proceeds in an extremely amusing manner to demolish the whole story. The memorial to Powel at Whit- church was not erected until 1835, as is recorded on the inscription, a copy of which is printed in 2 S. xii. 228. So far as my researches have gone, they confirm the impression that the story originated about the above year ; but I shall be most grateful to any reader who can furnish me with an authoritative reference of earlier date.

COLOUR AND SOUND. Can any reader give information, or names of books, on the relation of colour and sound vibrations, and on the experiments, if any, which have been made on this subject ? K. M. B.

[The Athenceum of Sept. 27, 1913, contained an article on 'Colour and Music,' describing a "colour instrument " invented by Mr. A. B. Hector. Re- ference is also made to Mr. A. Wallace Reming- ton's book on 'Colour-Music.']

HATS. (11 S. x. 149.)

WHAT G. M. means by saying

" that a member of Parliament, before addressing the Speaker or the Chair, puts on his hat, while the Speaker remains bare-headed or bare-wigged,"

is not clear.

The Speaker is as above described in all circumstances. If a member wants to address the House in a speech, supposed to be addressed to the Speaker, beginning with such words as " Mr. Speaker, Sir," or " Mr. Speaker," his hat has no part in the matter, unless it be that the member thinks that he has a better chance of " catching the Speaker's eye " by the sudden removal of his hat. Sometimes a member puts on his hat in preparation for that purpose.

Of course the member must be bare- headed when he addresses the House. He need not, however, have his hat with him. Formerly most members, other than Ministers, Opposition Front Bench men, and Whips, wore their hats when seated in the House.
