"WATER BELLS" IN BELGIUM.
A Weather Sign Whose Accuracy Is
Called in Question.

Called in Question.
A paragraph has been going the
rounds of the papers recently which
says that when certain church bells.
situated about five miles from Lebek,
Ike, Belgium, are heard in that city
rain is pretty sure to occur next day,
With this statement is coupled the ex'
PLANTATION that the sound of the bells
is enabled to travel further than us
ual when the air is pretty well loaded
with water vapor. At the government
Weather Bureau in Washington they
have a way of picking up such an.
nouncements and commenting on
them. In the latest issue of The
Monthly Weather Review this matter
received attention.
Some doubt was eyinced as to the
accuracy of the alleged revelation. 1t
was pointed out that the distance to
which sound is heard depends very
largely on the direction of the wind,
If the sound of bells should be recog-
nized further away from them than
usual and the phenomenon was fol-
lowed by rain, the natural Inference
would be that the wind came from a
rainy quarter. The Washington ex'
perts believe, moreover, that neither
dampness nor warmth help the con-
ductivity of the air in respect to sound
unless these qualities are distributed
pretty evenly through the atmospheric
mass.
The transmission of sound and the
agencies which promote or Interfere
with it have been studied carefully by
lighthouse officials in this country and
Europe Lighthouse boards, it may be
remarked, are charged with the duty
of providing fog signals for the bene-
fit of shipping. More than one COLI.
sion or other marine disaster has re-
suited from the strange behavior OF
the blasts emitted by foghorns. These
warnings have repeatedly failed tc
serve the proper purpose at the dis
lance of only mile or so. 1t was
once suspected that lighthouse keep
er whose business it was to give sig
nails had been negligent. When posi-
tive proof to the contrary was pro
duced, as was the case in few in
stances, it was perceived that an i'm
portant mystery remained to be clear
ed up The Investigations which en-
! sued tended to show that if the tenn.
perature and humidity of the inter
vening air were uniform signal could
be heard to great advantage. If, on
| the other hand, dry masses were mix
ed with damp ones, or warm air and
cold air were found in proximity to
each other, the movement of sound
would be seriously affected. The
sound would be diverted upward OF
downward, often leaping over spot
not very far from its source.
