About this time Blossy developed

aside at every opportunity, convenient
or inconvenient in order to pat such
questions as these to him.
Didn't you say it is fully thirty-five
years since you and Captain Darby
were on the beach together? Do YOU
think he has grown much older? Had
he lost his hair then? Did he care
for the opposite sex? Was he very

than stubborn and contrary? Isn't II

Fearful OF the ridicule OF the sisters
Blossy was always careful TO conduct
these inquiries in whispers. or at least

Why Sound Jumps Great Distances.

Sound does not always travel
through the air in straight line. it
often happens that two zones OF sound
are separated by a zone of silence.

Jungfrau was heard In two different
zones The first extended through a
radius OF 40 kilometers around the ex.
ploslou The other began at dis
lance of 140 kilometers. the sound be-
ing unheard in the intervening 100
kilometers
Similar phenomena had been OBJ
served elsewhere and physicians tried
TO explain them by the renexion of
the sound waves from certain atmos-
pheric strata Professor Fuiiwhara.
who has studied such matters during

now that these phenomena depend
upon the direction OF the wind IN the
