Range Of the Human Voice.
Dion Boucicault, writing in the Pail
Mall Gazette on the Albert Hall of Sci
ence and Art, makes some observations
on the action and range of the human
voice which are not without interest to
the general reader, while suggestive to
the public speaker and singer. The hu-
man voice when its utt.rances are clearly
artinula.oa and 1t is supplied 1rom goou
lungs, will fill 100000 cubic feet of air,
provided they be inclosed in proper
manner and the voice placed and direct
ed advantageously. This space, we may
remark by the way, would be represent
ed by a hall l25 feet long and 80 feet
wide and 40 feet high. The same voice
singing, continues :1oucicaalt, can fiji
equal facility 60O,O cubic feet. When
singing the vowels are principally used,
because it is necessary to dwell upon a
note, and we cannot prolong conso-
nant. In speaking, on the contrary, we
depend for articulation on the conso-
nants, but their short pefcussive sound
does not travel. When we shout, or in
open air speaking, which partakes of
shouting, we prolong the vowels, drawl-
ing the syllable at each word, but what
we gain in sound is lost In clearness of
articulation expression is lost in monot-
ony, because its tineness depends on the
infinite variety of which the consonant
is capable and bestows OH the vowel
Two thousand voices, singing or speak
ing together, travel no farther than one
voice. They may fill a certain area more
completely with that intricacy of waves
which, when very troublesome, we cali
din, but each voice exerts its own in
fiuencc on the air, according to its pow
er and dies away within certain limits
A second acts independently and pro-
duces its own seperate effect, not fortify-
ing the first, but distinct from it. And
SO with any number of voices, say 10, 900,
shouting together, IL single trumpeter
were placed among them, the notes of
his trumpet would be heard clearly at a
distance where the Babel of voices would
have expired in q n;armur. Yet, among
the din produced by the 10000 voices
the trumpet would be inaudible. To H.
lustrate this theory more clearly, it is
plain that 1000 persons cannot throw
stones farther than one person. 1t is true
that the air within certain limits will be
more full of stones, but they will all come
to the ground within limited area.

Some time last fall son of Mr. John
Peacock, Of West Greece, New York
brought from Victor, Ontario county, d
potato of the Seeding mercer variety,
which he gave to his father The latter
kept it till last spring, and then planted
n part of it in his garden. The piece ta-
ken for the purpose was cut into forty
four pieces each of when contained two
"eyes," and twenty-five hills We're made
two pieces of the potato being buried
in each hill. The hills were attended
to as usual during the summer, and the
other day Mr.. Peacock dug them up
He realized just tsco hundy'ed and elcren
good sized potatoes, which filled a half
bushel measure-the yield, be it remem-
bered of less than one seed potato !,
Considering the number of hills the crop
is not remarkable, but it is extraor-
didary in view Of the amount of seed
used.

AsToNIsHED RED MEN.--A band OF
Indians made n sudden attack on de-
tachment of our soldiers in the noun
tains. The soldiers had Il mountain
howitzer mounted on mule. Not hav-
ing time to take it Off and put in posi-
ton, they backed up the mule and let
drive at the Indians. The load was so
heavy that the mule and all went tumb-
ling down the hill toward the Indians,
who, not understanding that kind of
warfare, fled like deer Afterwar.l one
of them was captured, and when asked
why he run so replied: "Me big Injin,

Rta- The editor Of the Cedar Rapids
Times, who accompanied the editorial
excursion to the Rocky Mountains, gives
the following account of race between
all Antelope and Locomotive:
After leaving Plum Creek we had a
trial Of speed which, in these days Of
fast horses and fast men, may be inter-
esting to our readers. While our train
was moving along at its usual speed,
three antelopcs sprang up from the grass
near the railroad and struck out at full
speed, attempting to get ahead Of the
train that they might cross the track in
order to reach place of safety among
the bluffs on the north side. The Oh
gineer regulated the speed of the train
to that of the antelope, permitting the
frightened creature to get even with the
locomotive, but when they attempted to
cross the track he would let on more
steam, and the fleet footed creatures
would fall to the rear, when volley of
musketry from the car windows would
greet them, the balls striking all around
them; but notwithstanding the ante
lopes were sometimes within three hun
dred yards of the train, and hundreds of
shots were fired, they escaped untouch-
ed-a not very 1iattering record for the
Quill Driving battalion. The race con-
tinued for a distance of nine miles
when, the valley growing wider to the
south, the antelopes finding they could
not out-strip the train and get across the
track, struch directly south and left us
! This was indeed rare trial of speed, tn,
like of whicn we think cannot be foun,
among the records of the turf.
