Increased Sound at Night.

Iwould like to ask if you have ever
noticed the acoustic phenomenon of
greater audibility of sounds after night
fall? There have been hundreds of at
tempts to account for this singularity in
The matter of sounds, the theories being
almost as numerous as the theorists
themselves. The ancients noticed that
the intensity of all sounds was increased
at night and ascribed the phenomenon
to various causes, some almost as absurd
as the reasons @ assigned by certain mod
ern scientists.-S Louis Republic.

MEMORIAL DAY.

Once again Memorial Day is upon US
that day that comes In the glorious twi.
light 'Spring-again the mind is crowded
with thousand memories OF the past.
Nothing could be more fitting, nothing
more beautiful and touching, than this
custom OF remem bering our honored dead.
What better time could have been chosen
for this sacred work-when flowers are
bountiful and the air is heavy with their
fragrance and frightened by their bril-
liant hues2 Yet with the memories Of the
past-memories that bring sigh and a
tear into many ouseholds-memorie
that are full Of sorrow, that have their
bright side as well as darker one-there
Is In 1t all a lesson for us to !earn--a les
son for the soldier OF by-gone days, as
for the younger generation to
whom the valor and patriotism of
their fathers Is but story and
an inspiration. And this lesson Is
that ones duty to country does not end
with victory In arms. There is battle
still raging around us In which 1--WE must
engage-a battle in which wo must strive
to buili up and ennoble the community
In which we live. 1t is constant, never
ending battle with evil, with corruption,
with those elements that try TO degrade
and drag down even the very State, and
II such lesson as this Is taught us, II II
holds us closer to our duty toward the
home, the town, the commonwealth 1t
makes as one bit better men and better
citizens, than those who died to save our
country will not have died In vain. And
this lesson is brought home with more
force to us than ever before as we look
back upon the work OF the government
within our borders during the past year.
II that airy army OF invisible heroes that
hover as a cloud OF witnesses above us
that generous host-could only speak
to us, could only touch the heart
OF each one of us-and tell us
that lesson of lofty patriotism that
they can tell, then we should find more
fighting against the evils that surround
us--the evils OF a degraded and selfish
government. II this could be 80, then
might We question whether they are dead
that yet move upon society and inspire
the people with noble motives and more
heroic patriotism.
