FAMED ECHOES OF AMERICA.
Phenomenal Reverberations in welly
known Buildings and Out-of-
Door Spots in This Country.

In this country there are many
wellknown buildings noted for their
echoes, and of these perhaps mona
is more remarkable than the tab
ernacle in Salt Lake City. When this
hall is empty and quiet, the ring OF
a pin falling on the floor can be heard
from all points and even the feeble
raspng sound produced by rubbing the
hands together is perfectly audible
from one end of the building to the
other, says Pearson's Magazine.
a better known, but really less WON
derful, example of audibility within
a building is found in the national hall
of statuary in the capitol at Wash
ington. The phenomena manifested
here. which are genuine and Interests

groups of visitors while being placed
in chosen positions by the guides to
hear the marvellous reverberations OF

which is partly domed, is not SYM
metrical with respect to the floor, SO
that a complex reverberation is the
consequence.
Natural echoes unsurpassed in won
dcrful effect are not far to seek in
America. Probably Irish Killarney
itself does not hide away more strik-
ing echoes than Turk within the IA
nous Colorado canyon, and it would
be rash to assert that these are quite
the most wonderful to be found
among the rocky retreats of the far
west.
Deep ravines being the recognized
haunt of echoes, it may be taken for
granted that many exist in the great
gorge of Niagara, and anyone journey
ing to the falls by this approach will
be we'll rewarded by stopping at In.

The musical chord blown so con-
stant1y by railway engines often
meets with beautiful response from
the surrounding country. This is very
noticeable round the lake of Geneva,
Wis, when the listener is standing
on high ground and trains are thread
ing their way through the woodland
below. These effects are due to tho
ncarness of extensive pine forests to
the railroad tracks.
Many who visited Wadesboro, N. c.,
to observe the total eclipse of the
sun from the observation station there
last year noticed that the organ-like
piping of the trains, when two miles
distant in the broad, wooded valley
below, would give place, without sensi-
bic break. to an echoing reply, which

wild notes of some gigantic harp,

Mr.. Bryan denounces the Maclay

1t strange that historian finds it
necessary "to resort to the lowest
form Of abuse, in dealing with q
historical character" and, adding,
that "as q clerk In the navy yard,
he should be displaced because of his
outrageous ASSAULTS upon q man who
has been the patient victim of the
most remarkable series of attacks
recorded In American history"
