Observation Of Sound.

The following curious observations OF
sound have been carefully verified by
an extended series of experiments: The
whistle of locomotive is heard $500
yards; the noise of railroad train, 2.
800; thereport Of a musket and the bark
of dog, !, 800; an orchestra or the roll
of drum, 1000; the human voice
reaches to distance of 1000; the croak
ing of frogs, 900; the chirping of chick
ems, 800. Distinct speaking is heard in
the air from below up to distance OF
600 yards; from above it is only under
stood to a range OF l00ysrds downward
1t has been ascertained that an echo ie
well reflected from the surface Of smooth
water only when the voice comes from
an elevation. Other similar phenomena
connected with the transmission OF
sound have been observed, but the re-.
suits disagree, either from inaccuracy
in the observations or from the varying
nature of the circumstances affecting
the numbers obtained. Such variations
occur to an extent of 10 to 20 per cent,
and even more. The weather being
cold and dry or warm and wet are the
chief influencing causes In the first
case the sound goes to greater and in
the second to lesser distance.

Report Of Grand Jury.

Report Of Grand Jury.
The Grand Jury presented the follow.
ing report to the Court yesterday after
noon:
To the Honorable Court:
The Grand Jury has visitsd the coun.
ty Jail, and from what we could see and
learn from the prisoners, they were
fed with plenty substantial food and
given plenty water.
The Jail was as clean as could be
kept under the circumstances. The
only complaint we heard from the pris-
onsrs, was made on account of heat.
The Jail is badly ventilated. We hope
the old Jail will be replaced with a new
and better one before the next court.
We also visited the poor-house and
found si1ty-two paupers. I'VE found
this institution entirely different from
what We expected). We found this in
stitution under as good rules and reg
ulations as any large family, the rooms
perfectly clean, good beds, with clean
sheets and other bed clothing. The
wearing apparel was good and clean.
They are fed with plenty of good and
substantial food, plenty of rice and
vegetables.
The sick seemed to be treated with
as much care as any private family
could treat their sick. The prisoners
that are held in the work.house are we'll
cared for.

James Ammons an "itincrant
preacher from the mount. ins of
East Tennessee, visited New York
for the first time last week. He
was in the clutches of the bunco
s~teerers, but escaped without loss,
as his story, told to a reporter,
will show. He said | called
upon a friend at the Metropolitan
Hotel. At 10 o'clock as | was
about to 60 to my hotel | stopped
for a few moments in Broad way
watching the passers-by. A well,
dressed young man came up to
me and asked if | knew what
time some theatre would let out
Il forgot the name of the theatre).
| told him no-that l was .
stranger to New York. He said
that he was a stranger also, and
was stopping at the Metropolitan;
that his sister was with him and
had gone to the theatre with a
cousin. They were from New
Orleans. He asked my name,
gave nae his, which he said was
McEnery, and insisted that l
should come and take breakfast
with him next morning /; that his
sister would be delighted to meet
a Southern gentleman, etc. Just
then another 'nobby' looking
young man came up, to whom l
was introduced. He told Nc
Emery that he had splendid luck ;
that his ticket had drawn a prize
of $500, and he wished to get it
cashed. | was invited to accom-
pany the young men up town a
little way and did so on the
promise of q bottle of wine, etc.
l paid for a bottle myself before
we started-also for the cigars.
We went as far as Twenty.ninth
street, when we all three went
in a high stopped house where
some bald-headed person stood
behind a desk counting a large
roll of bills. 'Ah,' he said mr..
Jones your ticket wal a lucky
one. Here's your money He
then handed the fellow a roll of
bills which he seemed to pocket.
Jones went to the middle OF the
room and pulling a cloth off a
table wanted to know of Nc,

Our Foreign Population.

The immigration into the United
States during the fiscal year just ended
was more than twenty-five per cent. be-
low that of the preceding year and ten
per cent. below that of the year which
preceded that. The total number of
immigrants arriving in the year lust
closed was 500, ia, against 770, APP last
year and 600, 431 the year before. Over
100000 have thus, arrived in the coun-
try and taken up their abode here with
In the last three years. The total ar
rivals for the last ten years have been
less than 1000, 600, and in no three
years preceding had the total run much
above 100000. The largest number
of immigrants arriving in any one year
preceding the. three in which the pres
ent '' BOOM has been running was 49,
SO3. in 1873. The number of inn
migrants who have arrived in this coun
try during the last fifty years reaches
over 100000. The smallest numbey
of arrivals in any single year in the
half-century aforesaid was in 1888.
when the arrivals were 1914. In 1912
the number for the first time exceeded
100000. Since that it has only
fallen below that number four times.
in 1S43, 1914, 1851 and 1862. Germany
continues to furnish the largest number
OF arrivals. Last year there were I91,.
CAB from Germany, the next largest
being 1882 from England and Wales.
From the Dominion of Canada there
were $1,000, Ireland, 63, 700; from Scot
land, 1862; from sunny Italy there
were 81, 715; from bleak Norway, 81
S94, and from Sweden, 4,596. Nearly
three-fourths of the arrivals come in at
the port of New York; the number of
immigrants at that port in the last year
having been 400, 697.
The number of foreign-born persons
residents of the United States is now
about 1000, 600, or nearly one-eighth of
its present population. In 1880 it was
$685. 43; in 1870 it was 1867 ,229; in
1860. 4, 1862.
New York has a larger number OF
persons of foreign birth than any Other
State. 1t has l, $50, 900 out.of total pop.
ulation of 100000 Half million of
these are from ireland and $50, 900 from
Germany. Pennsylvania and Illinois
have each 100000 of foreign birth and
Ohio 100000.
OF the 100000 of foreign population
now in the United States 2, 225, 900 are
of German nativity and nearly 9, 600, OOO
Irish. Besides the 1000, 900 who are OF
foreign birth, there are about 100000
of foreign parentage.
The percentages sof arrivals for the
last few years shows large increase
from Germany. A few years ago the
arrivals from Ireland formed a much
larger percentage of the whole than
now. The number now arriving from
Germany is more than three times as
many as those arriving from Ireland.
Last year there were 191 ,643 Germans
to 1922 Irish. The number of emf
grants leaving Germany in the last fifty
years is estimated at $500, coo; most OF
them came to the United States
