Were Pythagoras to "listen in" on a modern radio concert he would undoubtedly hail it as irrefutable proof of his theory of the "music of the spheres". And in a Greek rapture over this satisfactory conclusion to his speculations he might neglect to discuss the other possible sources of the "heavenly harmony".

Thus one realizes that the present day quasi-barbaric dish is ineradicably rooted in hoary traditions. The staple winter diet at that time was salt meat, followed often by "pye." At a later period an Oxoulan wrote...
