rents unquestionably have something to do
with it, but there are local circumstances
which favor or disfavor the hearing of sounds
at great distances. However, the distance
at which the ear can distinguish sound de-
ponds both on the intensity OF the sound, the
medium through which it is transmitted and
other causes. In the polar regions Sir John
Franklin said he "conversed with ease at a
distance of more than mile" Sound has
greater force in water Colladen, by expert
ments made in the Lake Geneva, estimated
that bell submerged in the sea might be
heard at distance of more than sixty miles
Franklin also says that he heard the strik-
ing together of two stones in the water half
a mile away. The report of a cannon travels
very far, because it communicates a vibra-
ton TO the soil The cannonade of Florence
was heard beyond Leghorn, about fifty-six
miles off, and that of Genoa 100 miles off.
In 1762 the cannon of Mayence was heard at
Timbeck, village l4S miles off. When
the English landed in Egypt the firing was
distinctly heard 100 miles off. In 1909 the
booming of the cannon in Heligoland reached
Hanover, distance of l57 miles. The great
est distance at which artificially produced
sounds are known to have been heard was on
Dec. 4, 1892, when the cannons of Antwerp
were heard in the Erzgebirge mountains, $40
miles distant The noise produced by an in
tense eruption of Mount Cotopaxi, in South
America, in l144, was heard at distance of
600 miles.

Origin Of Language.

The subject of the origin of language,
more than any other perhaps, has been fer
tile of speculation and attended with less
satisfactory results than most other topics
The Jews positively insist that the Hebrew
tongue is the primitive language and was the
one spoken by Adam and Eve. The Arabs,
however, dispute the point of antiquity with
the Hebrews. Of all the languages, except
the Hebrew, the Syriac has had the greatest
number Of advocates, especially among east
ern authors. Many maintain that the Ian
guage spoken by Adam is lost and that the
Hebrew, Chaldee and Arabic are only dia-
lects of the original tongue. Goropius pub
lished work in 1850 to prove that Dutch
was the language of Paradise. Andre Kemp
maintained that God spoke to Adam in
Swedish, Adam answered in Danish and Eve
spoke in French very like satire), while the
Persians believe three languages to have
been spoken in Paradise: Arabic, the most
persuasive, by the serpent; Persian, the most
poetic, by Adam and Eve, and Turkish, the
most threatening, by the angel Gabriel.
Emo claims Basque as the language spoken
by Adam, and others would make the Poly
nesian the primitive language of mankind.
Darwin says what must beadmitted throws
no more light Oh this subject than is in the
fancies already named: with respect to the
origin of articulate language. after having
read on the one side the highly interesting
works of Wedgwood. Farrar and Professor
Schleicher, and the celebrated lectures of
Professor Max Muller on the other side
cannot doubt that language owes its origin to
the imitation and modification, aided by
signs and gestures, of various natural sounds,
the voices of other animals and mans own
instructive cries.

THE PEARL OYSTER.

The most noted pearl fisheries are near the
coasts Of Ceylon, Japan, Java, Sumatra and
the Persian gulf. The pearls found near
some American coasts are usually of very
fiue polish but of irregular shape.
A pearl diver carries a net bag for holding
oysters, places his foot in a stirrup, to which
Is fastened a stone weighing nearly thirty
pounds, then, taking long breath, he de
scends rapidly to the bottom. He tears the
oysters from the rocks, and when he feels
l,is breath failing, pulls rope as signal and
IS very rapidly drawn up. Seven or eight
divers descend at the same time. When the
oysters are dead the shells are examined for
pearls One shell may contain several pearls
or none, and there is no way of telling which
hold prize except by destroying the oyster
In addition to the pearls it yields, the pearl
oyster, explains Golden Days, which furnish
ed the foregoing description, is valuable for
its lining. This lining is called mother of
pearl" and from it are made knife handles,
buttons. card cases and many other articles
