SOUND WAVES.

Tho Way They Are DETECTED by At
mcsphcric Causes.
One of Uncle Sans scientists at
Washington gives an interesting ex-
planation Of the action of the wind In
preventing the spread of sound toward
the direction from which the wind
comes,
1t is. he claims. not the wind, as
such, that prevents sound from trav-
cling against It. but differences In the
strength OF the wind. II. for instance.
the wind is stronger above than be-
low or stronger ut one side. Its effect
will he to tilt the sound waves Ia one
direction or another. 4
Differences OF temperature In the air
also cause DETECTION Of the waves OF
sound. Other atmospheric causes ex.
ist which defect sound from straight
course and prevent 1t from going az
far In certain directions as 1t may
have been expected to 20.
Some of the sirens In this country,
says the scientist, produce sounds
which ought theoretically to be audible
at distance of 1900 miles. but. In
fact the authorities are satisfied II
they are heard only two miles away
The reason for, the discrepancy be.
tween calculation and experiment was
probably atmospheric detection Of the

Every person who coughs should not
alarm himself with the idea that he Is
in a bad way. Experience has con-
vinced us Of fact that there are two
distinct kinds Of c0ughs-one proceed
ing from an affection Of the lungs and
air tubes, as In cold, the other pro-
ceeding from effervescence In the
stomach. The lungs cough is symp-
tom which all know to require atten.
tion. lest serious. consequences ensue.
Tho stomach cough is much more
simple matter and may easily be got
quit Of. 1t is caused by the food and
drink which are put into the stomach
efrervescing and producing an irrlta-
tlon. A knowledge Of this fact ought
to lead persons SO affected to popder q
little on the nature Of their ailment and
