Effect Of Wind Upon Sound.

One Of the government scientists
gives an interesting explanation OF the
action or the wind In preventing the
spread Of sound.
II is. he claims, not the wind as such
TINT prevents sound from travelling
against It, but differences Ia the
strength Of the wind. II, for instance,
the wind il stronger above than below
or stronger at one side its effect will
be TO tit the sound waves In one dircc.
tion or another. Differences Of temper
ature IN tie air also cause detection OF
the waves OF sound. Other ntmos'
pllcric causes exist which defect sound
from straight course. Some OF the
sirens In this country. says this scieli-
fist. produce sounds which ought theo-
reticnlly to be audible ut distance OF
1900 miles; but. IN fact. the authori.
ties are satisfied II they are heard only
two miles away. The reason for the
discrepancy between calculation and
experiment was probably atmospheric
detection Of the sound.

Today both the British and French
visitors continued to emphasize the
fact that this country should not de
fude itself with the idea that this is
to be a short war They pointed out
that Germany as at present constitut-
ed, means war and war in its most
ruthless form. The entire German ma
ton is a great war machine these
officials declared. and of the most ad-
vanced professional type. Because of
this it was pointed out that there was
every reason to believe that the Ameri-
can troops would be in at the final
moves when Prussianism Is crushed.
1t was said today that there was
every possibility that the great work
of the dual mission would be com
pleted not later than the latter part
of next week. Then it is entirely
possible that a recess will be taken in
order that the British and French Of
iicials and army and navy heroes can
visit certain sections Of the country.
