NOISES HIGH UP IN THE AIR.
Where an Echo Is Louder Than the
Sound That Producer Il.

WUSFG an ECnQ 10 Louder nan the
Sound That Producer II.
To cause the echo of sound to be
louder than the sound that caused it
seems an impossibility, but under Ger.
tain conditions this can happen, and
the echo is sometimes many times
greater In sound volume than the orig
inal noise that produced it.
This happens away up in the air.
For instance. if an aviator is, say, 1000
or 1000 feet above ground and some
one on the ground fires a revolver
there is a brief time when nothing Is
heard. The aviator can see the smoke
from the muzzle of the revolver, then
wait little, then the sound comes to
him. not like the sharp report of re
yolver. but more like a quick peal Of
thunder, loud and sharp and really
several times greater In sound volume
than the actual report of the revolver.
The cause Of this is that the air be-
low is much more dense, while up
above it is lighter, and there are no
muffie the sound, so it comes up on
sound waves with increasing noise.
Having no solid background around
and about the aviator. the rebound OF
the sound waves is greater up there
than on the ground
1t is said a man in balloon may
lower an explosive on a cord several
hundred feet below his basket and set
it off with an electric wire and battery.
There is sharp little crack" like the
report Of a 6obert rife: then comes the
most terrifying noise. like a great
burst of thunder, the loudest ever
heard. The actual explosion did not
make anywhere near this amount of
noise, but the air being much more
dense below causes the line of least re-
sistanee to be straight up. and SO the
sound waves expand nightly In an up
ward direction, increasing the sound

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON, D. c.



friends do not know the history Of
their own country, ask them about the
Mason and Dixon line. They can tell
you that it Is different from clothes
line, but it Is a sure thing that very
few will be able to furnish very much
intelligent information. Therefore, It
is interesting to recall the story Of the
Mason and Dixon line. and here it is.
One hundred and fitty-one years ago
today two English surveyors, Charles
Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, began the
surveying OF what is known as the Ma
son and Dixon line between the states
OF Pennsylvania and Maryland. This
line .terward became famous as the
supposed boundary between the north
and the south, or between the free or
slavery holding states, From it came
Dixie, the cognomen for the south.
which has been imm0italized ia sung
and story. The line was surveyed at
the instance of William Penn and Lord
Baltimore. The surveyors were three
years in making the survey from the
north. east corner to the foot of Savage
mountains. In 1869 the work was
finished from the latter point TO Vir-
gina, now West Virginia. The line is
SAID to have cost $500, 600, and the
surveyors employed an army of axmen
and a road thirty feet wide was cut
through the dense forest. mixture
OF sand and lime stones of light brown
grayish color were brought over from
England to mark the line, and these
stones we're set up at intervals of a
mile apart wherever 1t was possible
to erect them. They weighed 500
pounds and were four and one half feet
high. On some parts of the line the
country was so rugged that mounds
of dirt and rock had to be substituted
for these stones.
Today the Mason and Dixon line has
been surveyed and remarked and di.
vested of it's chief erroneous traditions.
In lS49 a REVISION of the line was made
by a Joint commission from PennsyI-
vania, Maryland and Delaware AMI 1t
was then found that the original sur
vey was so nearly accurate that the
change involved by the correction
amounted to less thln two acres, which
were added to Maryland. In 1903 Penn.

line. MANY of the peculiar English
stones had disappeared and the com
mission made an exhaustive search for
them. The identification WAS an easy
task for on breaking them the stones
emitted a sulphuroUs odor. So thorough
was the search that some were found
in the curling of streets and in PEG

wall of an old stone church. where it
had done service Tor many years. In

coat of-arms of William Perm was cut
on the Pennsylvania side, and on The
Maryland side the escutcbeon OF Lord
Baltimore was placed. On the Others

The stones are now set SO near one an

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.

Collie.
The word collie is often used to
describe any severe pain in the
abdomen, but it is. of course.
true that pain in that region has
many causes. The pain that
simple collie causes may be very
severe, and it may be attended
by vomiting. profuse sweating
and the partial collapse of the
sufferer. II the pain does not
quickly abate call a doctor, for
the condition may in that case
be serious. Collie of the simple
sort will usually yield to home
treatment and is quickly reliev-
ed by the removal of the cause
Of offense. There are one or two
signs that wifi help the family
to determine whether or not they
ought to Gull a physician. In
simple collie the patient usually
moves about restlessly and tries
first one position and then an
other in order to gain relief. If,
on the other hand. the pain is
caused by some grave organic
trouble or IL there IL real intes-
final obstruction or peritonitis
the patient can hardly keep still
enough. The expression of the
face is also guide to diagnosis.
The expression in simple collie
may be agonized. but 1t is very
different thing from the pinched
and anxious pallor that accom-.
,panies serious abdominal trou.
