Ferha ps!

How many people when they marry
carefully put aside their joint love let
tiers as one Of the most cherished pos
sessions Of their future life. and In
how many cases afterward do they
ever take them out and look at them?
Now. why Is this? Partly perhaps
because the time OF romance is over
and practical, everyday life has be-
gun; partly, also. we will hope. because
now they can say so many nice things
to each other. and there is no need to
read over the past nice things they
have written.-Golden Penny.

pEcULlARtTiES OF SOUND.
The Kind of Note Best Suited For
Long Range Signals.

Signals made by sounds Of explosion
are not the most reliable. Their pene-
tration is obviously CfEen uncertain,
While, their duration being brief. they
may be missed by momentary lnatten-
ton. The reed horn was the more eff
cieut instrument as compared with
Cuncotton cartridges over London. The
siren would probably have been yet
more efficient as also Doubtless norm
capable OF producing TWO notes differ
ing. r. :, by the interval of third or
fifth. d conclusion arrived at many
years ago by experiments which have
been unhappily too much lost sight or
Professor PiazZi Smith found by trial
that high note was generally more
penetrating as a signal. but advised
that such note should not be used
alone assigning as one reason that in
diyiduals possess note deafness similar
TO color blindness. so that no one note
could be trusted. Experiments went to
prove that a sound varying between a
hish and low note best arrested at
ten Ion at lcng range.
And the same result has been arrived
at in another way. The peculiar cry OF
the Alpine guide. which is. In fact, OF
that nature which Professor Smith adj

his voice Is required to carry across

Nor indeed need we look farther for

own village lanes. The high pitched

In calling + their fellows they always
