SINGING SANDS.
One of tss Most Curious and Unaceount

One Of iss Most Curious and Unsceouns
able sf tho Natural Phenemsna-
One Of the NEST curious and unac-
countsble of the natural phenomena
is that Of singing, barking" or
musical" sand. The emission OF
queer noises from the sand OF the
seashoro has boon known for ages,
but the first scientific investigation
In that line in America was made by
the coast survey corps within the
last ten years, when It WAS found
that singing sand could DO found at
2e different places Slong tho Atlantic,
Pacific and gulf coastx One Of tho
most remarkable az well ~ the
largest and bert known banks of
singing sand in the United States u
that On the beach ut Manchester,
NAaA where for distance of about
one-ffth Of a mile the sand gives
forth distinct sound when walked
upon or even II stirred with a cane
or the finger. Professor Julien OF
Columbus college, who has given the
subject of sonorous sands much
study, says: Singing sands may oo-
cur in comparatively small patches
An the midst OF the ordinary sea-
shore sand, but always between the
limit Of high and low tide. The same
sand does not produce sounds at all
seasons, nor arc the sounds uniformly
the same day by day. Another pc
culiarity Is this: 1t will not give
forth sounds when wet. The theory
concerning singing sands is this:
The sound is produced by friction
between the angular particles, and
the conditions necessary are perfect
dryness and uniformity in size OF
grain ~ we'll as perfect freedom
from dust.
Professor II. G. Bolton of Trinity
college, Hartford, who made trip
to the Sandwich Islands in the sum.
NOR of 1890 for the sole purpose OF
examining the sonorous sands OF
that country, says: The sonorous
property of singing sand is due to
pellicles or films Of air or gas dc.
posted or oondcnsed upon the sur
faces Of the sand grains during grad
ual evaporation. By virtue Of these
films the sand grains become scpa-
rated by elastic cushions of CON
dcnscd gases. capable of considerable
vibration. The extent of these vibra,
tions and the volume and pitch OF
tho sound also depend much on the
size and shape of the sand grains. y
