The Truly Fortuitous.

The shades of night were falling fast
When up the fence row blithely pass
ed.
Through creosote and paris green,
These grim trespassers on the scene:
One army worm,
One chinch bug,
One Hessian fly,
One cut worm.
Advancing each before its kind,
They gave the wiggle-wag behind,
And answering with buzz and whiz,
Their trusty troops invaded, viz:
One wheat field,
One field of oats,
One corn field,
One potato patch.
The farmer slumbered in his bed
While pleasant fancies roamed his
head,
And dreamed of getting after bit
A few farm luxuries, to wit:
One automobile,
One lighting plant,
One tractor,
One silo.
But where the setting sun had shone
On opulence remained a bone,
Clean-picked as frost denudes the
trees,
And what the farmer had were these:
One sale,
One trip to new. farming
country,
One trip back again,
One start all over.

The condition of Main street is a
menace to the town. Every time
there is a rain, the street is almost
impossible. 1t is no better than the
worst country roads during a rain
and for some time after rain. Bam-
berg is pretty good sized place, and
it is high time for something to be
done to remedy this condition.

Eight months have elapsed, and
the war continues without abate-

ties, and business next fall will doubt

Replying to The Herald's criticism
of the general assembly last week,
the Newberry Observer says: I'm
our opinion the present legislature
has done more and better construc-
tive work than any legislature that
has sat within our memory-and that
goes back to a good many years. y
1t is true that the last few days of
the session were crowned with some
success, and We are grateful that
something was accomplished. But at
the time the item in question was
written, we failed to see wherein the
general assembly had passed many
measures of a constructive nature.

PECULIARITIES OF NATURE.
Why Wind Currents Influence Sound.
Other Matters.

Various peculiarities and anoma-
lies in sound propagation are noted,
but DR.. H. Bateman, American me-
teorologist, points out that they have
a simple explanation in atmospheric
conditions. Any wind has the gen.
eral effect of reducing the audibility
of sounds. The velocity Of a wind
increases with altitude and this
causes sound waves travelling with
the wind to be turned downward,
giving increased range, while the
sound against the wind is turned up
ward and shortened. When the up
per and the lower wind are travelling
in opposite directions, the sound bent
upward may be turned back by the
upper current-an effect explaining
the strange zones of silence and
sound often noted in easterly sur
face winds. In daytime, decrease
of temperature with height and un-
equal heating cause sounds to be re-
fracted upward and dispersed, but
at night, with more uniform tempera-
ture, sounds are better heard. The
stratosphere, or isothermal layer of
the atmosphere, seems to reflect
sounds from it's lower surface, caus-
ing artillery fire and other heavy
sounds to be heard far beyond di-
rect audibility. Moist air stiles, re-
tracts, scatters, and perhaps reflects
sounds. Temperature differences
may account for most Of the peculiar
effects of fog, but reflection from the
upper fog surface may produce in
reference giving certain observed 81
lent regions.

A novel piezometer, claimed to
give deep sea soundings of much
greater than the usual accuracy, is
due to A. Berget, French physicist.
The instrument, eight inches long,
consists of reservoir of water, from
which a long tube, one-fftieth of an
inch in diameter, extends downward,
and communicates with an open side
vessel of mercury. The tube, silver
ed inside, is graduated outside. Low
cred in the sea, the pressure forces
the mercury up the tube, where 1t
disolves the silver, showing the de-
gree of compression, and by this the
depth reached.

Although the X-rays are now so
widely employed in exploring the in
terror of the body, it appears from a
note by G. Lippmann to the Paris
Academy of Science that the Hughes
induction balance may be still useful
for locating bullets and other pieces
of metal. The apparatus consists OF
a battery and interrupter in series
with two primary coils on which are
wound two secondary coils connected
with a telephone. The coils are ex-
actly alike and with the conducting
wires rossed their effects upon the
telephone are just the same, so that
no sound is heard. But when one
coil is brought near a piece OF metal
the electrical balance is disturbed,
producing in the telephone a faint
sound, which is louder if the metal
is magnetic, like fragment of a
steel shell. The induction-balance
bullet-fnder was a subject of ex-
periments by DR.. A. Graham Bell and
others as long ago as the summer OF
1881, when President Garfield was
suffering from a mortal wound by
an assassin's bullet and the method
gave results of some promise. After
the bullet was roughly located by
the induction balance DR.. Bell show
ed that it's exact position could be
determined by a delicate needle
probe, which, being connected in
telephone circuit through the pa
