preventing Echoes.

1t is we'll known that many elegant
churches and halls are erected every
year that are almost useless for the pur-
pose for which they. were designed.
They are pleasing to the eye, but the
walls reflect the words Of the speakers,
actors and singers. Many architects
seem to be entirely destitute Of know
ledge in regard to the laws of acoustics,
as is shown in the auditorium rooms they
construct. In late issue of the Bloom
ington Paragraph an account is given
of hsw courtroom was arranged in
order to correct the echoes that we're
heard in it. 1t says:
Monday we took some observations
in the courtroom for the purpose Of
ascertaining the effects produced by the
wires stretched across the room for ben
efitting the acoustic properties of the
same Most of our readers are aware
that it has hitherto been a subject of re-
mark, and noticed by every one, that it
is almost impossible to hear distinctly
in the body of the courtroom what was
said in an ordinary tone OF voice within
the bar. This is now remedied. Mr..
w. S. Carlock suggested that the stretch
ing Of small wires at a proper height
and at suitable distances, would be of
great benefit. This was tried, and the
effect proves to be a vast improvement.
We entered the room Monday, while
Mr.. Ewing was addressing the jury in
an ordinary and easy conversational
tone Of voice, and found no difficulty in
distinctly hearing every word. We tried
in various places, from the remote cor
ners to the center, and found it about
the same. 1t appears to be a success.
The theory is that the wires, although
so small as to be hardly visible, break
the sound waves, and prevent the rever-
beration which has hitherto been the
chief obstacle and annoyance to lis
teners. Only three or four wires cross
ing the room each way produce this i'm
provement.

Comets and T1sIr TaIIs.

Professor Zollner, foreign saVant, in
a recent discussion of these erratic
bodies, starts with the fact that fluids, as
water, mercury, and solids OF nearly all
kinds, give off vapor of low tension,
though in too small a quantity to be
reeogBized By any tests with which we
are at present acqr ajnteg lt therefore
follows that the masses Of matter scat
tered throughout space are ultimately
surrounded with an atmosphere OF their
own vapor. IL the volume Of such

hydrocarbons, ~ iqes 'yhilh is fortified
BY the character OF The speotra 0f certain

Regarding the self luminosity Of comets

causes which can prodnce the frst Of
these results, viz, elevation Of tempera-

thinks that the electricity developed by
the solar rays, either in the process OF
evaporation or by the mechanical and
molecular disturbances they produce, is
amply sufficient. to cause the luminosity
and also to form the train. The expla-
nation hero given of the formation of
the tails or trains of comets is exceed
ingly ingenious, for it not only applies
in those instances in which the train is
directed from the sun, acting under
these circumstances by repulsion, but it
also accounts for the fact that in some
instances the tail is directed toward the
sun, there being under these circum-
stances electrical attraction instead of
remission.

The French navy for 1873 will consist
of ninety-four armed vessels. of which
eight are iron-plated. OF the entire
number sixty-two will be held in reserve,
and will not be placed in commission.
The total of marines and sailors will be

as the French fleet now consists OF l0l
