YOUR OWN VOICE.
Now You May Hear u as u Sounds 20
Other Persons Ears.

Laloy. who appears to have scien-
tifcnlly investigated the matter. nv
sures us that not only does one not see
himself as others see him. but that he
does not hear himself as others hear
him. Some interesting experiments
were made by the French savant in
this connection.
In order to ascertain whether a man
really knew the sound Of his own
voice, Laloy has been ut some pains to
determine the facts. His experiments
show that II person record on q
monograph disk few sentences pro-
rounced by himself. together with 9th
ers recorded by friends. and causes the
machine to reproduce these. It most
frequently happens that the man more
easily recognizes the voices of his
friends than he does bis own.
1t appears that the differences lies
In the quality of the tone. One hears
his own voice not only through the
air. as do his auditors. but across the
solid parts between the organs Of
speech and those Of hearing. The
sound thus produced has different
timbre from that conducted to the ear
by the air above.
II one entertain any doubt as to this
let him try the following experiments:
Take the end Of wooden rod between
the teeth and pronounce the vowel
continuously. Let the other end be
taken alternately between the teeth
and released by another person who at
the same time stops his ears. The lat
ter will find that every time he seizes
the rod In his teeth the sound will be
stronger than when II reaches the ear
through the air above and that II has
different quality. The passage Of
sound through solid body augments
its Intensity and modifies its quality

In 1741 Count Bestushew was sent
by the emperor Of Russia to Stockholm
to put the question Of war or peace to
the Swedish government. UpOL arriv-

Finally when he had almost given up
hope of getting a reply he received u
long communication from the Swedish
minister Of war. Eagerly Count Bestu-
shew opened the letter, for he knew
that 1t contained the long expected an
swer But to his despair he found 1t
so encumbered with official phrases
and formalities, that he could make
nothing Of its meaning. For two hours
lie struggled In vain to comprehend the
confused document. Then he FASTENED
to the minister Of war.

the minister when the count had ex.
