t 13 THE MACON TELEGRAPH: SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 28, 1901 DISTANCE GUNS CAN BE HEARD 1 LIVES LOST IN LOUISVILLE FIRE n-Scliley • I*i«i»«Ir>-. LONDON, July 27.—A remarkable record hus recently been brought to light concerning the distance at which the firing of heavy guns can be heard. These discoveries have an' important bearing upon rain-making experiments and throw aide lights upon the Satnp- aon-Bchley controversy. An expert named C. Davidson made elaborate preparations to take observations of fleet firing when the late Queen Victo ria's body was taken from Cowes to Portsmouth. The result of these obser vations established the fact that the reports of heavy guns were clearly audible at the extraordinary distance of 340 miles inland, while at a distance of eighty-four miles the reports were so loud that laborers in the fields put down their spades to listen, and nt six ty-one miles from the guns, windows were shaken and other symptoms of concussion were . shown not usually conected with any but adjac^nt-detona- tlona. The statements b*ar upon the Bampsou-Bchley controversy In so much an Admiral Schley's statement, made May 23, 1898, concerning the hearing of guns forty mljes away which ho believed was the Spanish fleet, wa* received by many persohs with consid erable Incredulity.
