a NoiseIess Room.

For many physical researches a per
fectly noiseless room is a desideratum.
If such could be devised il would open
out new possibilities of research. At
the University of Utrecht the problem
has been apparently successfully
solved by the room designed by
2waardemaker. The walls and cell
ing of the room are IL inches thick,
and are formed of six separate layers.
The first consists Of a feltlike mate
rial Of borsehair, known as tricho-
pese, this is followed by a layer of
porous stone isolated from the floor
by sheet lead. An air space of about
al inch is followed by wood, and
then a course of ground cork and
sand. The final layer is Of specially
prepared ground cork, known as
korkstein.
