BY CURVED LINES
TO A POINT.
“Silence is Vocal, if We Listen Well.”
By Prof. Wm. P. Fleming.
In certain mountain passes a
shout will be echoed and re-echoed
for a considerable •* i gth of
from gran t t * wail to
granite wall in apparently the
wildest confusion, -s . that the
hoof-stroke of one her. e will seem
to g e |,j ie tramp of countless cav
airy. But in the very chaos of
sound there is perfect order, so
that the last faintly audible echo
will be the exact counterpart of
its original.
The principles of sound—trans
mission, are not only axact and
invariable, but they are identical
in ail instances—although there
aie two distinct theories explana
tory of the method by which the
transmission takes place,
The thorny commonly accepted
is that sound travels, as does light,
waves, or undulations of the
air. Waves of sound from a toll
ing bell, or from a woodman’s axe,
may be easily detected by the nut
uml car - A sim P le experiment
will apparently demonstrate the
correctness of this theory: Place
an inclined and very smooth
surface 30me finel y pulverized
P ovv ber; sound the note that cor
responds to, or “fits” the room,
and, presto, the powder is ar
ranged incurved lines correspond
ing to the waves of sound—trans
mission in the air.
This experiment demonstrates
not only the method of transmis
sion, but, also, that sound-waves
make a real impressiou upon phys
ical substances. Thomas Edison,
“The Wizzard,” succeeded by
means of a mechanical contriv
ance in receiving these impres
sions with such minute accuracy
aud distinctness, that he was en
abled to reproduce the original
sounds an indefinite number ot
times. In the latest reproduction,
compared with the first, there
“neither variableness nor
shadow of turning ” It is infinite
law proving silence vocable.
Just as waves upon water are in
creased by the confining and con
verging shores, or “burning-glass,” as sun-rays may
be focused by a
so are sound-waves, by certain
conditions, converged to a central

It, is matter ot record tnat all
on board a ship that was tw r enty dis
miles from the nearest shore,
tinctly heard, at eventide, the
tinkling of a sheep bell as ‘the
flocks wended their way o’er the
lea’, The sails of the vessel were
so bellied by the wind as to be
converted into a receiver of the
sound-waves that reached them
from the land.
The recent triumphs of Marconi
in wireless telegraphy are neces- of
sarily the result of his mastery
the principles illustrated in the
foregoing incident.
It is not impossible, or even iin
probable, that some such thing as
the configuration of the land
about some house, has resulted in
shadowiug that house with the re
putation of being “haunted”—al
though this statement is not au
thorized except by its reasonable
ness to my own mind. It appears
Talmage Next Monday Night,
Dr. Talmage who will appear at
the Cordele Opera House next
Monday night is assured of a
packed house. Since hist oatur
day morning when Messrs. Hyde
Derry placed tickets reserved on
ihere has been a rush for
seats, and while there are a num
derof seats Idt it behooves those
who wish to hear the eloquentdivine
to secure seats without further
lay. The management will try to
accommodate everybody to a good
seat and no one can afford to
Dr. Talmage while it is so
venient to hear him.
that atmospheric conditions com
bined, maybe, with attendant fa
vorable circumstances, might con
vert a locality into a proper re
ceiver for sound-waves, and that,
just as iu the ease of the bellied
sails, sounds produced elsewhere
might be reproduced there.
That which was apparently an
illustration of the correctness of
this theory did occur a few years
ago in a college town not far dis
tant. The muffled tread of a man
passing through the room was
heard ; or, perchance, snatches of
melody would be laintlv dis
coined, uiavl).' a ulillei! gmaji, oi
tee suggestion .>f convulsive laugh
ter. There is no more reasonable
explanation than that these
sounds, produced otherwhere, were
reproduced in the vicinity of that
house.
To what distances sound-waves
travel, and for what length of
time they repeat themselves in
kind, are matters impossible of
calculation. Marconi has received
through . the air intelligible in >"
pressions from a faint sound that
was produced at the distance of
nearly two thousand miles. He
believes that he will succeed in
sending ,, and , . .
receiving messages,
by the same method, round the
world. Iu view of what has al
ready been achieved, it can scarce
ly be doubted that his message
will go that journey, whether re
ceived upon its return or not.
Human reason demonstrates
that just so surely as a wave of
the ocean laps the furthest shore,
or a wave of light finally reaches
the earth from the sentinel star of
the universe, just so surely do
I* ulid-waves break against the
confines of infinite possibility—
that if ethereal conditions, at cer
tain distances from the earth, are
such as to preclude the possibility
of sound-transmission, then, in
that event, there is a never-ceasing
ebb and flow of sound-waves with
in the bounds so set. Who knows
that the first outcry of creation’s
dawn is not now borne by aereal
pulses through boundless ether?
That the record is in the air for a
considerable time has had praeti
cal demonstration—who is able to
say: Thus far and no farther?
The astronomers toll us that
tens of thousands of years are Fe
quired for light-waves to reach the
earth from some of the stars. II
waves of light persist so long, why
should not waves of sound? And
who dare say that the notes that
squeaked from Nero’s fiddle-bow
while Rome burned, have ceased
to rasp the air within the brief pe
nod ot two thousand years? the.air
Some man lias said that
we breathe is witness to all we
think, or say, or do* And why is
not this a simple statement of
fact? Has a melody ever been
sung, that does not gladden the
world today? Was a groan ever
uttered, that does not burden each
vital breath? Has a tocsin ever
sounded, fhat does not shout in
our ears? Has a prayer ever been
expressed that does not now ap
peal to our souls? Does not De
mostheues thunder from
Athenian forums, and Cicero’s
phillippios still hurl at Antony?
May there not be hissings of in
vective, clashings of swords, pit
eous appeals of the distressed, in
dependently of our abilility to
hear them? Does nothing exist
that our dull senses do not ap
prove? Where, then, has reason
flown?
There is no such thing as anin- is:
