FAMOUS AMERICAN ECHOES.
Acoustics u. the Washington Hall o,
Statuary-Grnnd Canyon.

Acoustics II. the WASHINGTON Hall Oh
Stntuary-Grand Canyon.
In this country there are many well
known buildings noted for their echoes,
and OF these perhaps none is more re-
markable than the tabernacle in Salt
Lake City When this hall is empty and
quiet, the ring of pin falling on the
floor can be heard from all points, and
even the feeble, rasping sound produced
by rubbing the hands together is per-,
fectly audible from one end of the build
ing to the other.
A better known, but really less wonder
full, example OF audibility within build
ing is found in the national hall of
statuary in the capitol at Washington.
The phenomena manifested here, which
are genuine and interesting enough. have
been somewhat overstated. / have spent
long morning in this hall studying the
matter critically. and, having obtained
due permission, have questioned the va
rious groups of visitors while being
placed in chosen positions by the guides
to hear the marvellous reyerberations of
sound
The guides certainly make the most Of
their opportunities for impressing visit
ors. but when guide retreats to dis
lance to whisper You may observe on APP
preaching him with due caution that his
Whisper is Of the stage whisper sort
and calculated to carry with great dis
tinctness under any conditions The chief
ncoustical paculiarities Of the chamber
are clearly due to the fact that the roof.
which Is pnrtly domed, is not symet-
rical with respect to the floor, so that y
complex reverberation is the consequence.
Natural echoes unsurpassed in wonder
full effect are not far to seek in America.
Probably Irish Killarney itself does not
hide away more striking echoes than Turk
within the famous Colorado canyon. and
it would be rash to assert that these are
quite the most wonderful to De found
among the rocky retreats of the far west.
Deep ravipes being the recognized
haunt Of echoes, it may be taken for
granted that many exist in the great
gorge of Niagara. and any one journey
ing to the falls by this approach will be
well rewarded by stopping at Inspiration
point. walking forward to the edge of the
cliff and here waiting till the first train
on nearing the level crossing blows its
whistle. All the deep glen takes up and
carries on the warning Shrek
The musical chord blown so constantly
by railway engines often meets with n
beautiful response from the surrounding
country. This is very noticeable round
the lake Of Geneva, Wisconsin, when the
listener is standing on high ground and
trains arc threading their way through
the woodland below. These effects are
due to the nearness OF extensive pine
forests to the railroad tracks.-Pearson's
