Curious Facts in Regard to Sound.

The following curious observation in
regard to the transmission of sound have
been carefully verified by an extended
series of experiments The whistle of a
locomotive is heard $500 yards through
the air; the noise of a railroad train,
$500 yards; the report of musket and
the bark of q dog, 1900 yards; an or
chestra or the roll of drum, 1000 yards +;
the human voice reaches to distance of
1000 yards; the croaking of frogs, 900
yards; the chirping of crickets, 800
yards. Distinct speaking is heard in the
air from below up to distance of 600
yards from above, it is only understood
to a range of 100 yards downward. II
has been ascertained that an echo is we'll
reflected from the surface ofsmooth water
only when the voice comes from an ele-
vation.
Other similar phenomena connected
with the TRANSMISSION of sound have been
observed, but the results disagree, either
from inaccuracy in the observations ol
from the varying nature of the circum.
stances affecting the numbers obtained
Such variations occur to an extent o.
ten to twenty per cent, and even more
The weather's being cold and dry, OF

Fire Insurance Policies.

In the case of Peter Lappin, admins
traitor, against the Charter Oak Fire In
surance Company, just decided by the
Supreme Court of this State, Fourth
Department, Judge Mullin presiding, it
appears that certain property was in
sured against loss by fire, December T.
1868, for one year; that the insured died
July 81, 1869, and the property descend
ed to his heirs at law that 1t it was
burned November 9, 1869, and the plain
tiff was appointed administrator Janu-
ary 10, 1870. .-.-....-... ell. ..r.
The contract of insurance provided
that the policy should not be assigned
without the consent of the company,
and that any assignment, sale OF transfer
of the property should work forfeiture
of the policy. No such consent had been
endorsed on the policy in this case, and
the Court held that the change of own
ership was such change of title as
forfeited the policy. The administrator
could therefore recover nothing upon
the insurance. 1." - 't-'.
This decision is one of many which
have been made limiting the rights of
the insured upon policies against loss by
fire. Such policies are commonly loaded
with conditions which few of the insured
read, but which often come up to defeat
what they have supposed to be the pur-
pose of the contract. Insurers will do
we'll to study these conditions with care,
and they may often find reason to insist
upon cancelling some of them in parti-
| cular cases.
The New York Board of Fire Under
writers, at meeting held on Wednes-
day, unanimously passed resolution
that they will severally hold all policies
of insurance in their respective COM
panies as valid and binding after the
decease of the insured and with theii
heirs, as if this agreement had been en-
'dorsed on each policy. Whether this
resolution binds other companies thar
those of the city of New York we can
not say. But few men will be conteni
to accept policies of insurance whioi
are liable to be terminated at any mo
ment by their death. All such condi
tions ought to be struck out of the poll
eies before insurers accept them.-M y

Luck.

The man who marries the prettiust
girl cf the place is said to be "lucky
fellow" and SO of him who draws the
highest prize in lottery, or, by some
fortunate turn in affairs, clears the
gulf between want and wealth in an
hour. And yet the histories of all times
tell us that with terrible uniformity
and uncertainty the men who become
suddenly possessed of unearned millions
die in misery.
Within five years well-to-do farmer
drew quarter of a million of dollars in
a prize lottery. The whole country en-
We'd him his luck; but he has since died
from style of living induced by his
good fortune, and his only son has
turned out drunkard.
The msR whose first bet on the race
course, whose first deal at the card table,
whose first risk at faro, whose maiden
lottery ticket, brings money largely into
his pockets, is ruined man at the very
instant the world pronounces him
" lucky" Any man, especially any
young man, who starts out in life with
the conviction that money can be better
made than by earning it, is lost man
lost already to society, lost to his family,
lost to himself.
An alarmingly large number of the
sons of the rich men of New York are at
this moment helpless drunkards. Young
men are they, many Of them of educa-
ton, of manly qualities, of generous ma
lures, honorable and high-mipded; but
the demon of drink has taken such pos
session of them that fathers breaking
heart, mothers tears and sisters agony
avail not to draw them from their deep
damnation. Elegant leisure was their
rain.
The best way to save child from ruin
is to bring him up to "help father
Make children feel that they must dc
something to support the family, to helI
along; then two feelings arise which
are their salvation-those of affection
and pride; for we naturally love thosC
whom we help, or those whom we strug

and nothing so improves child as t.
make him feel that he is of some conse
quence, that he can do something, ant
that what he does is appreciated.-HaP

Weight Of Woman,s Clothing.

A writer in Good Health says that the
average weight, the world round, of that
portion of woman's clothing supported
from the waist is between 10 and 10
pounds; and that if a woman was sem
fenced to carry such weight about in
this way for number of years, for some
great crime, the punishment would be
denounced as an inhuman one; yet
thousands of women daily endure such
punishment voluntarily because it is
the custom, and because they do not
know the bad effects likely to- follow it.
The writer earnestly counsels women
not to adopt an attire similar to that
worn by men. but to have their clothing
suspended from the shoulders, by which
dangerous pressure on abdominal mus
cles would be avoided.

the historic and religious character of
the ceremony now in progress, and
elucidated its mysterious influence on
the hearts of the German nation. lit
was a splendid tribute as well to the
new subject of alteration, the venerable
hero-soldier; and the King was deeply
affected by it.
Bismarck and Moltke, meantime, one
on each side of the platform, winked
sleepily and wickedly, and seemed in
wardly much amused at this parade and
feathers. Gen. Blumenthal, who was
also near at hand, with the commanding
Generals, and officers of all grades
grouped around him, was grimly silent,
and seemed to consider the whole thing
waste of time. In long rows, down
each side of the gallery, were oil the
distinguished military and civil person
ages, Prussian and foreign, of which
Versailles boasts to-day. England was
represented by her Commissioner, Gen.
Beauchamp Walker, and America had a
representative of her army present in
the person of Brig .-Gep. Duff of Illinois,
formerly of Grants staff hI--tJ
The sermon finished, general buzz of
congratulation was Just springing up in
the grand hall, when the King suddenly
advanced to the platform, and there,
surrounded by the standard bearers of
the First Guard regiment, he pronounced
his address to the Princess, in which he
declared his intention of accepting the
Imperial German crown. After, with
faltering voice, he had finished his vow,
Bismarck advanced TRANQUILITY to read
the proclamation to the German people.
This was the elimination of the war,
the object of the crafty man who now
held the proclamation in his hands. The
unification of the German people under
the rule of one man, was accomplished.
No wonder such a gigantic task has
made diplomat already ripe in years
look as old as his master.
After the reading of the proclamation
the Grand Duke of Baden (who seemed
to have been adopted as deus er machine
on most of these occasions), hailed the
King as Emperor of Germany. A "three
