SOUND MAKES SILENCE.
Lowell Institute Lecture on "ArchItee
turaI Acoustics"


Two paradoxes and the exemplihca-
ton OF one of them, formed the bulk
of the fifth lecture of Prof. Wallace Z.
Sabine i'm his Lowell Institute course
on Architectural Acoustics one OF
these puzzles is that two sounds may
make a silence and the other that
rugs result in the increase of SOUND
I'm a room, although material OF That
nature mad in the previous lectures
been noted as absorbent
The first phenomenon Is that term
ed interference. which was easily
studied in the orient in a consideration
of why at point on the shore OF the
China sea there were no tides. The
reason for this is that the tidal wave
lonters the sea by two routes. one OF
the ways is broad and the other mar
row and congested with islands The
result of the combination is that the
movement of the water is delayed III
the narrower entrance just six hours
so that when It would be high tide 10y

and consequently there is no tide al

In n similar way the waves whicf
produce sound may be so affected IL
their progress by obstacles or reiiec'
Itions. that they arrive at the same
point half a wave length apart, II
which case they produce silence Th'
lncint was admirably illustrated b,

IN THE OLYMPlAD.


When our high and broad Jumpers
and pole vaulters take the trip to Swe-
den next year they will meet sitter
opposition than in former Olympic

dangerous foreign athletes in these
three events.
The former champion pole vaulter
and track captain of the New YORK

one second. He won the high jump
with a leap of six feet, vaulted twelve
feet and finished second in the run
