Eighteen miles is the longest distance
on record at which n mans voice has
been heard. This occurred in the
Grand Canon of the Colorado. where
one man shouting the name of Bob
at one end his voice was plainly heard
ut the other end, which is eighteen
miles away. In the arctic regions men
may converse with ease at Il distance
of more than mile. DIR. Young records
that at Gibraltar the human voice has
been heard at distance of ten miles.
Over water or n surface of ice sound is
propagated with great clearness and
strength. DR.. Hutton relates that on
n quiet part of the Thames near Chel-
sea he could hear a person read dis
tinctly at the distance of 40 feet. Per-
sons in balloon can hear voices from
the earth long time after they them
selves are inaudible To people.
