AN ECHO.
How to Measure the Distance From
Which 1t Is Reelected.

How to Measure the Distance From
Which 1t Is Reelected.
There is scarcely anything In nature
that eXerts the fascination over every
one alike than does an echo, and COM
feeling Of mystery about 1t that holds
US as with a charm. OF course we all
know that it is merely the reflection
of sound from some object. as the
side of house or a rock or hill, but
often we cannot tell how far away the
object is that causes 1t. Here is way
TO tell every time:
Holding a watch in your hand, shout
a single syllable, as "Ho"' or "Ha!'
and count the number of seconds from
the time you shout till the sound comes
back to you. Now, sound travels at
the rate of Lips feet a second, SO the
number of seconds that elapse multi
piled by 1,125 will give the distance in
feet travelled by the voice in going to
the object and back to you again, and
One-half of that number will be the
number of feet away that object is.
Of course the object may be only
few hundred feet away, in which case
the sound will come back in less than
a second, but you may determine the
distance, nevertheless, by calling
single syllable-"Ha"'-a calling it
again as you hear the echo, not before
or after it. but just with it.
With little practice you can do this.
Repeat the call ten or twelve times.
counting the seconds between the first
call and the last echo. Suppose, for
example, that the time is seven sec
onds and that. you called the syllable
ten times. Then each echo took seven
tenths of second, and the distance,
found in the same way as before, is
about 304 feet.-Exchange

water. and will be mounted on sleds
for crossing the ice fields. In such
event the steel boat would become the
most important part of the equipment,
as it's strength makes it practically In
destructible, while its lightness ena-
bles it to be handled easily. AS the
Wellman expedition will take but one
boat 1t is presumed that Mr.. Wellman
made the most careful search throug-
out the entire world for the highest
yet strongest boat which could posi-
bly, be built, and it is not merely q
coincidence that the Peary expedition,
which recently sailed in search of the
north pole, should also carry Null
Inns steel boat as part of its equip
ment
The whole world will watch with
the greatest interest the attempts of
the Wellman Record-nerald and the
Peary expeditions to discover the north
pole. Which will win, the ship or the
air ship? Should ,.alter Wellman sue
seed in reaching the pole, and unveil
it's mysteries, it may be only a few
years before tourists will bring back
to us from the Arctic resorts glowing
stories of the beauty and grandeur of
the frozen north.

ed to know only the interest of one
man in a bank, but he knew that he
couldn't get a resolution of that kind
through the senate. so he included the
stockholders in all national banks. 1t
took the entire force of the comptrol-
ler's Office several weeks to prepare the
information, and when 1t reached the
senate nobody paid any attention to it
except the author of the resolution, and
