Sound at Different Angles.

In some recent experiments on the
range of human hearing, the ticking OF
watch was distinctly audible at a distance
of 10 feet on n line at right angles to the
head. On moving the watch ID degrees
in front of the line, the tick could be
heard II feet away; at an angle OF 40
degrees only feet. and at So degrees,
only three feet Placed % degrees back
of the line the watch could not be heard
beyond feet. The toTal range OF hear
ing was about 95 degrees, the direction
of greatest accuteness being Is degrees in
front of the imaginary line through the
ears. Descending from the horizontal,
the hearing distance increased from 10
feet to a maximum of IL feet at 80 de-
grces, and then decreased until reduced
to feet at so degrees. On carrying the
watch upward the sound decreased
steadily until at an angle of 60 degrees
it could be heard only feet away.
