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

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.
