KILLING A MAN BEFORE He HEARS THE

KILLING A MAN BEFORE HE HEARS THE
SHOT FIRKD.-There IL an American story
OF respectable antiquity which tells how q
fast train outran the sound OF its own sig nails
and came TO utter grief, the sound Of the
warning whistle arriving after the collision.
The driver was killed, and the story ended
with the words, "Poor fellowi he was dead
when bis curses reached him." As curious,
and much more certainly true, Is the fact
that when q man is struck by lightning he
does not see the flash. We do not know
whether 1t has been observed that something
similar will happen to the first man killed
by the eighty. one ton gun, within q mile OF
the nuZzle; he will not hear the shot fired
The velocity Of the sound Is 1,132 feet per
second. The muzzle velocity of the bolt OF
the s1-ton gun is ABOUT 5000 feet per second.
This, of course, rapidly diminishes, but the
average for some distance would be greater
than that Of the sound. In fact, as the shot
carries the whistle along with IL, one would
hear the whistle of the shot before hearing
the gun. Some curious observations might
be made with regard to this latter point, as
TO the acoustic effect OF sound emitted by a
body travelling faster than the sound. The
only other example we have is the lightning
fash, producing the Irregular roll OF the
thunder.
