The Thunder's Long Roll.

The prolonged roll of thunder is read
lily explained by comparison with vol
ley fired along 4 line of troops. Sup
pose troops to be drawn up on a line in
such numbers as to extend for mile,
and order by signal that all could see
to fire at once. One standing at the
end of the line would hear the report of
the musket nearest him instantly. He
would hear the others successfully.
Thus d report $50 feet away would
come to him in half second, and
he would not hear the last report for
five or six seconds after the gun had
been fired. This would produce sort
of roll, which would gradually increase
in intensity. If the listener stood ex-

the line. the reports from both ends
would reach him at once. and the sound
would be but half as long in reaching
him as if he stood at one extremity.
If the soldiers formed Il circle there
would be one sharp explosion. Flashes
of lightning may be considered as rep
resenting three lines of troops along
which the explosions occur at the same
time. Consider the variety OF distance
and position of the listener. and we ac-
count for the variety of sound in thun-
der In mountainous regions the roll
ing is aumented by reverberations or
