Berlin, October 8.-One Of the cur
ious phenomena connected with the
sounds of flying bullets is the appar-
emily double report from the shot OF
a single gun. This is observed with
especial frequency by the Austrians
fighting in the Alps against the Ital-
ians. q
They were disposed to believe the
second report was the echo of the
first, but the curious fact remained
that the second report was louder than
the first. Moreover, the German SOL
diers fighting in Belgium, where the
land lies as level as a table, often
heard two reports.

that the flying bullet compacts the
air In front Of 1t, and that this pro-
duces sound waves which. when they
first strike the ear, give the effect Of
an explosion. AS the small calibre bull
let of the modern rife flies consider
main report arrives later. and is nat
urally louder than the first.
