THE second factor is lack of proper
education of girls. Both boys and
girls shold know the Iudiments Of do
inesuc science, bU. girls az well as
boys should be educated to support
themselves by means f some OccuTa-
ton or profession. Then the husband
will look upon his wife as one who is

be treated as an Independent person
if the marriage partnership is to be
a success.

Mysterious Zones Of Silence.

A meteorologist of Zurish, DR.. A. de
Queran, directs attention to a new
theory which he calls zone of ST.
lence. He says that strong noises like
explosions or the sound Of cannons,
while heard In normal way in their
Immediate neighborhood, are not heard
in distant zone even when most in.
tense.
1t is now known as a historical fact
that Frederick the Great on August II,
l76O, won the battle of Liegnitz be-
cause the Austrian generals Daun and
Lasen asserted that they had not heard
the sound of cannons. II was sup
posed at that time that the statement
of the Austrian commanders was an
untruth. but 1t is now believed that
zone of silence existed. Similar
phenomena have been observed recent.
ly. In 1908, when the Jungfrau rail.
road was being built in Switzerland, a
fearful detonation took place, caused by
the explosion of $4,000 Kilograms OF
dynamite. The noise was heard at
distance of 30 kilometers, but not at
14O kilometers. Strange to say, how
ever, the noise was heard 80 kilometers
from the last named zone.
