Eci,c of Sound.

An echo is sound reflected from q
distant surface. Sound is produced by
waves Or pulses of the air. and when
those waves COME i'll contact with a
cliff or Wall OF other opposing surface
they are reflected like light Or heat.
and the returning waves cause Il repe
dition of the sound. The word echo is
of Greek origin. According to ancient
mythology, it was the name of IL noun
ia nymph. daughter of the air and
4hc earth. Echo was one of .Iuno'S at
PENDANTS. but her lOquacity displeased
Jupiter. SO she WAS deprived of the
power of speech By Juno and permitted
TO answer only when she was spoken
10 Aftcrward Echo fell in love with
n beautiful youth named NarcissnS and
was changed into a stone. which still
retained the pn,.rr of voice. Milton
personiics her thus:
Sweet Echo. sweetest nymph. that livst

Within thy airy shell,
by slow Mcander's margent green,
Canst thou not ttl me Of a gentle pair
That likest thy NsIrcissus are?
