WHARF CARS Grow Sharp.

A French balloonist has recorded the
clearness with which sounds coming
from the surface Of the ground can be
heard at high altitude. at the
height Of 5000 feet the ringing Of
horses boots on q hard road was
clearly audible At 1000 feet the
splashIng sound made By ducks IN a
pond was heard. The barking Of dogs
and the growing Of cocks could be
heard at seven or eight thousand feet.
These sounds penetrated through q
white floor Of cloud that hid the earth
from sight. says Harper's Weekly. In
the perfect silence Of the air the in

ed stealthy footsteps close at hand. It
was ascertained that this noise was
caused BIZ the stretching Of the ropes
and the yielding Of the silk as the bali
