Sound In a Fog.

Professor Reynolds, Of Manchester,
endeayors 10 explain the fact that sound
does not readily penetrate fog. he
shows that the PARTICLES Of water do
not, as II has sometimes been supposed,
break up the waves Of sound by small
reflections, in the same way as they
scatter the waves OF light, but that tho
destruction OF sound Is due TO the fact
that when foggy air is accelerated or
retarded, the drops OF water move
through the air and expend energy in
fluid friction. He examines further the
relation between the size Of the drops
and their effects. He finds, in the tirst
place, that II the air Is subjected to 0

CAPITAL Punishment.

About 1907 o poor womon with two
children, one at the breast, stole from
inside o shop door piece Of linen
worth some seven or eight shillings.
She, however, had not proceeded far
when sho repented Of her crime, and was
returning to the shop with II when she
was arrested. She was tried at the
Old Bailey, convicted, and condemned
TO death. The Jury and the prosecutor
unanimously recommended the woman
to mercy, oniaocount OF her husband
having been pressed ~ a sailor, her
starving condition Of the time, and her
previous tlnblemished character. But
all in vain. The judge refused to in.
derse the application, and the woman
was executed at Tyburn, tho child be:
ing taken from her breast at the foot OF
the gallows. In the minds Of large
majority OF the public this execution
created great indignation, and q bill
was brought into Parliament to abolish
the punishment OF death for stealing in
0 shop, TO the value Of Ave shillings.
This bill was at first thrown out in the
House Of Peers, the Judges being
against IL. The bill subsequently
passed into law. On the introduction

abolition Of the punishment Of death
for stealing In q dwelling house to the
value Of forty shillinge, the majority Of
the Judges were against 1t. Lord El.

In his opposition, arguing, as the law
stood it worked well; and why then
should it be altered? T? One Of the Peers
was 30 struck with the validity Of the
learned Lords arguments that he said,

heads with safety on our own pillows II

offenses against the Bank Act alone,

sition to such atrocious cruelty.-zhe

that the air IS full Of moisture, and he
knew that chloride Of calcium would
attract and condense IL. He has an-
piled this chloride on sand hills, on

and has ascertained that twill produce
