The telephone is about to have a
new applicat on-that of foretelling
storms. A new discovery has been
made as to one of the properties of this
means of transmitting sound. BY
placing two iron bars at seven or eight
meters distance from each other, and
then putting them in communication
on one side by a copper wire covered
with rubber, and on the other side with
a telephone, a storm can be predicted
at least twelve ho1rs ahead through a
dead sound heard in the receiver. Ac-
cording as the storm advances the
sound resemb' es tho beating of hail
stones against the windows. Every
fash of lightning and, of course, every
clap of thunder that accompanies the
storm, produces, shock similar to
that of the stroke OF stone cast be-
tween the diaphragm and the instru-
ment.
