MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 22, 1921- I SOME NOVELTIES OF SOUND Really Curious Phenomena That Have Come Under the Observation of the Physicists. If, when the air is still, you stand near a high wail and speak a word loudly, it will come back to you as if repeated by an invisible person. It is. of course, an echo. Parallel walls separated by a few hundred feet, as in a canyon, may so | reflect a sound as to cause It to be dis tinctly heard again and again In a long-dying series of repetitions. If the reflecting walls are irregular, ! the repetitions, instead of being dis tinct to the ear, will be mere jumbled and unintelligible reverberations. This is notieeable in certain caverns. Prof. W. .T. Humphreys, an eminent physicist, describes a curious phenom enon which he calls an ‘‘acoustical mirage,” sounds uttered at a distance on tlie surface of the efirth seeming to come from high in the air. Such an uplifting of sound (corresponding to the uplifting of a landscape by a vis ual mirage) may occur when a stratum of warm air at the surface is over laid by cooler air. Thg sound travels faster at the top, and so appears to come from aloft. A balloonist can often hear the earth-echo of his own voice when he cannot, by shouting, gain the attention of people standing on the ground be low him. If is beenuse be—-at an alti tude of fifteen hundred feet perhaps— is in a region of silence, whereas they are immersed in a flood of soifnd. MONARCH A MEAN NEIGHBOR Sennacherib, Ancient Ruler of Egypt, Evidently a Bully of the Highest Order. Doing about knocking down other king’s cities when they failed to “kiss his feet,” was one of the playful habits of Sennacherib, ruler of Egypt some two thousand years ago, according to cuneiform tablets just placed on ex hibition at the University of Chicago. Sennacherib kept a “diary” of his “playful habits.” The big stone slabs were brought to the United States, with other records of ancient Egypt, by Prof. James 11. Breasted. “In my third campaign I marched against the land of Hatti (Palestine),” said Sbn nacherib in his “diary.” “The kings of (he west land brought rich gifts be fore me for the fourth time and kissed my feet.” “Hezekiah, the Judean, who had not submitted to my yoke, I be sieged and took 46 of his strong-walled cities, together with countless small cities, by assault of battering rams and siege engines, attack by foot sol diers and by and breaches. I captured some two hundred thousand people, some small and great, men and women, oxen rtnd innumerable sheep.” “Hezekiah himself I shut up in Je rusalem like a caged bird.” Other tablets showed that Sennacherib had a Cheops “jazz band,” a dromedary “toddle” and desert "home brew.” Note Was Misleading. At the head of a large business con cern in Muncie Is a very pompons man, who not only is very careful of his dignity but Inclined to irritability if things do not go exactly right with him. Wishing to attend to some corre spondence and having been troubled much of the day by visitors he placed a note on the outside of his private office door the other day which read: “Mr. Blank cannot be disturbed.” A collector soon afterward ap peared at the door of the private of •ftce, walked past the secretary, read the note and strode in. but soon came out tlie door much more rapidly than he had entered. “Didn't you read the note?” the sec retary asked of the disheveled col lector. “T read it,” the latter admitted, “hut I didn’t believe it and went in to And out. I discovered that I was right, for he can he and was.” lndianapolis News. Library of Congress Ranks Third. Tlie collection of the library of con gress Is the largest in the western hemisphere, and third in the world. It comprises over 2,710,500 printed hooks end pamphlets (including tlie law library, which, while a division of the library of congress, still re mains at the capitol), maps and charts, pieces of music, and photographs, prints, engravings and lithographs numbering about one million. The col lection is rich in history, political sci ence, in ofltclnl documents, national, state and foreign, and In Americana, including important flies of American newspapers and original manuscripts (colonial, revolutionary and formative periods). Many rare books and manu scripts belonging to the library are exhibited in show cases on the second floor. Nation Without Language. Switzerland lias no language of Its : own. The official languages of Swltz- J erland are French’, Italian and Ger man. all three being recognized as the ■‘mother tongue” of tlie majority of the inhabitants. A majority of the people speak Ger | man, while the others use French and I Italian, varying ns a rule according to the proximity of the people to each j country whose language they speak. Public documents and notices are | printed in the French and German lan , images. In the Swiss national parlia ment the members make their speeches j either in French or German, the mem : bers being as familiar with one lan j guage as the other. Statements from the president of I Switzerland are furnished to the news papers iu both languages. CHILDREN TO HAVE BIG DAY AT THE SOUTHEASTERN FAIR Arrangements Will Be Made tc Entertain Them in Royal Fashion—Tuesday, Octo ber 18, Date Selected.
