THE CONTEST IN MARION

Here is what Rev. c. c. Carroll said
in the Green River Baptist. published
at Owensboro. Ky., Of which he is one
of the editors. about his state wide
prohibition campaign in Marion:
after the vacation we spent ten
days in Florida in the campaign for
statewide prohibition. Our work was
confined to Marion county. the county
in which we labored and lived for four
happy years. Ocala and Dunnellon. we
understand. both voted dry. though the
county went slightly wet. The cam
paign was a fierce one and should give
us pause as We contemplate the meth
DDS used by the liquor forces. The
conviction is deep rooted in our mind
that nothing short of the turning of
the nation to God can solve the whis-
ky problem. 1t will be solved howev-
er unless God is dead is equally our
conviction. For the kind words said
about us in our absence. through the
editorial columns, we are profoundly
grateful"

Mr.. E. T. Schrieber is not only a
finished chemist and a close student
OF his profession. in which he has sue
ceeded admirably in Ocala, but has a
constructive mind and uses his spare
moments in his laboratory to develop
that talent in making a set Of dining
room chairs from native grown white
oak. Every cross bar in each chair
and every side rail from the seat to
the head. is beautifully hand decorated
and carved in different design. The
framing is neatly and substantially
constructed and the seats. which are of
leather. marks the efforts of an ex-
pert. Mr. Schneider has small shop
in the rear of his laboratory in which
he does the work. He has been at the
task. one of relaxation and diversion.
for the past year and by the time he
finishes the complete set of chairs,
may occupy the larger portion Of 1911.
The work will show the labors Of an
artist when finished and prove a beau
tiful addition to the furnishings Of the
Schneider home.

WYE were seated. after comfortable dinner,
w on the broad veranda of the mountain
house admiring the magnificent scenery.
Nearly mile below us and spreading as far as
the eye could see lay the broad and fertile val
ley, dotted here and there with ranches, and
prominent in the middle distance little
town with its single row of houses. the railroad
station the most conspicuous object among
them
The ever interesting subject of distances was
brought up, and our good natured host asked
for estimates of the number of miles to the
station The answers were as varying as they
were numerous.
-Four miles. guessed. accustomed to esti-
mating distances in the haze of eastern air and
deceived by this western clearness. Other
guesses ranged from three to ten, and one
young woman who had lived in Colorado was
sure 1T was fifteen
The man next to me-In a mornings &C
quaintance had found him to be scientist in
Government service-had not made a guess
but was gazing intently, watch in hald, at
railroad train which was creeping along the
slender thread of track and had nearly reached
the station. Suddenly appeared a puff of
steam, and we all stopped talking to listen
Ten, twenty, thirty, seconds passed, and then
there came the faint long drawn out whistle of
train approaching station.
"Thirty-three and half seconds" he an
nounced, and then, after glance at the hotel
thermometer, began making calculations on
the margin OF newspaper. ust little short
of seven and quarter miles, he said finally
"Good!" said our landlord, smiling. The
Government maps make it just trife over
seven; but hardly as much quarter
THE discrepancy is small, but easy to ex-
plain, my acquaintance replied; for the dis
tances on maps are always horizontal measure
ments, while we have determined here the
actual air line distance. Since we are almost
mile above the valley this will be little
longer, perhaps tenth of a mile in this case
THE process is simplicity ITSELF" he went
on, seeing our interest in the matter THE
velocity of sound at the temperature of thirty
two degrees Fahrenheit, or freezing, is ten hum
dred and ninety feet second. and this is in
creased by one and one-tenth feet a second for
each degree above this temperature. AS the
thermometer now stands at seventy-two, this
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-04-03
DO YOU KNOW ?-How Far Is It

brings the velocity up to eleven hundred and
thirty-four feet second. AS it took the sound
of the whistle thirty-three and half seconds
to reach me, this means distance of approx
mately thirty-eight thousand feet, or seven and
two-tenthS miles OF course even slight wind
blowing toward or away from us would have
made difference in this time: so we may con-
slider ourselves lucky in coming so close to the
actual distance in this way"
But what about the difference IN atmoS-
pheric pressure?" | protested. THE baro-
meter stands five or six inches lower up here
than down there. Will not that cause an error
in the measurement"
NO." he replied. Changes in the baro-
meter have little or no effect on the velocity of
sound; for this is influenced only by the tenn
perature. If we could observe it in some other
medium, however, we should find tremendous
change: Thus, sound travels some four times
faster in water than in air, and fifteen times
more rapidly in glass or iron"
But doesn't it take sometime for the sight of
the steam to reach us!" asked young woman.
Yes it certainly takes some time, our Sci
entific friend answered; but not very great
while, he smilingly continued. Light travels
one hundred and eighty-six thousand miles
second, or nearly million times as fast as
sound; so, while the sound of the whistle was
reaching us the light could have made several
round trips between here and the moon. In
other words, when light from the steam whistle
had reached us the sound had travelled barely
half an inch: SO hardly think that source of
error need concern us
1.-The most serious objection to this way of
getting distances, he continued would prob
ably come from the psychologist. He would
tell us that it takes an appreciable Fraction of
second for the sensation of sight or of sound to
reach the brain and to cause one to note time
on watch. Nor would this time be exactly
the same for sensations of sight and of sound.
Furthermore, the measurement of fractions of
a second is almost impossible with an ordinary
watch. These two sources of error might make
difference of an eighth or even quarter of
mile in the result. However, the method is
convenient one and it will be sufficiently accu-
rate for ordinary purposes to count mile of
distance for every five seconds of time that
elapse between the sight and the sound of
whistle or other noise"

for more than century, it has not been used
in orchestra in more than fifty years. Its
greatest prominence unsteady was achieved
in the first half of the last century, when dar
ing composer originated adagio for eight
concertinas in E.
The Russian Court Orchestra which has been
playing in London, has among its instruments
such curious things as the balafaika, the domra.
and the dulcimer. The balalaika corresponds
to the guitar, the domra to the mandolin and
the dulcimer is that ancient instrument which
was popular forty centuries ago. 1t has a small
keyboard for the left hand, and is played with
the right. 1t resembles the harp more than any
other instrument In this same orchestra two
shepherds pipes both played by one musician
at the same time, are feature.
In Denmark there has been movement
toward the revival of "lurs,'' bronze trumPets
used by Danish Vikings. 1t was literally to
the sound of these that England was conquered
at the beginning of the eleventh century. A
great number of them have been unearthed
from the Viking tombs scattered all ever Den
mark. This winter while the people Of Copen-
hagen were drinking dining in the most fash
lOnable restaurants they listened to popular airs
performed on these ancient instruments.
The lutte is also regaining its olden popularity,
and has come into use in many German orcheS
tras. One reason why this instrument became
obsolete was that it took so much time and
money to keep one. In past days the strings
were made of catgut, and it is said that an octo-
genarian player of the lutte had to spend sixty
years of his life in tuning it. Now the strings
made of Steel which is cheaper and less
troublesome
Among new-old instruments of percussion
that have come into orchestral use lately is the
tomtom Another is the gong of the
cient Tartars. A unsteady less explosive in
strument that has achieved more orchestral
popularity of late than it ever en- joyed before
is the guitar which has been crowded to the
wall for many years by the piano The new
type of guitar is called the 'senesia," from the
inventor, Senes. of Florence. 1t is tuned from
below the bass clef to the double octave.
There are six lower bass strings with their sep
arate keyboards Behind them the sounding
box is carried up after the fashion of Tyre,
being cut away at the left to permit the ready
lingering of the highest notes In appearance
it is not unlike that of the ancient chitarrone.
A Russian artist is now giving rectals on the
bull fiddle. Technically, the instrument is
known the doub'? bass. This Russian expert
initiates thunder storm so accurately on his
instrument that the audience starts to raise its
umbrella. In London recently an old English
custom of the strolling players was revived in
one of the largest orchestras. small boy was
concealed in the bull fiddle. thus combining
treble, bass, and strings into trio.
