Puzzles the Scientists,

1t is remarked on the Vienna-Leipsi,
telephone line that, while the speaker
at Vienna is heard with remarkable
clearness and accuracy at Leipsic and
at all points along the route, as al
l,Igue and Dresden, a speaker at
either of these points is heard with
much more difficulty at Vienna. The
electricians of the company are as yet
unable to furnish a satisfactory ex-
planation of this phenomenon. Why
sounds travelling from east to west
should be clear and distinct, while
those travelling in the other direction
are more or less blurred, is a puzzle.
