Just What Creates Echoes

An echo is caused when the waves
of air which you create when you
shout are thrown back again, when
they are stopped by something they
encounter and are turned back with
out changing their shape. Any kind
of a sound wave will make an echo
in this way.
You see, you can have no sound of
any kind without sound waves. You
could not make sound if there were
no air. Now, when you shout, you
start series of sound waves that go
they spread away from you in cir
cles just like the rings or ripple that
are caused when you drop a stone in
to a pool of water. You can prove
this to yourself easily by having one,
two, three or more of your friends
stand around you in large circle.
You can place them as far away from
| you as your shout can be heard if
you wish. When you shout, each OF
your friends will hear the shout al
the same time, provided, of course
they are at equal distance from you
Sometimes these sound waves as
they go away from you. in circles
| strike cDJectS tnat turn the waves
back unbroken just as they came tc
them. The waves will bounce back
| just like a rubber ball from a wal
against which it has been thrown
and this is the echo. However, some
things that the sound waves strike
break up these waves entirely anC
others partially.
No doubt you have sometimes no
ticed when you shout you hear a dis
tinct echo and that at other times
standing in the same place, you can
not hear any echo, although yol
shout in the same way This is eX
planned by the fact that at times con
ditions of the air are such that NJ
echo is produced while at other time:
a perfect echo reSults.-Book O

THE FIRST COLD SNAP
CAUSES MUCH SUFFERING
Transportation Handicapped. Trains
Running Several Hours Late
People Stay Close to Home.

Saturday was a day Of weather
changes; early in the morning it
showed furiouSty for time; then
the atmosphere became warmer, and
a heavy downpour of rain continued
practically all day. Early in the ev-
ening the wind hauled around to the
North, the sky cleared, and a cold
snap set in. Yesterday morning was
clear and cold, ice could be seen on
all sides, and all during the day peo-
pie could be seen hurrying to and
fro. the first cold snap of the season
had them on the go, and they were
going fast, too.
Church services, all over Cam
bridge. both in the morning and at
night. were rather SHINY attended,
not that the members of the various
congregations are warm weather at
PENDANTS, but just that the fires at
home felt too good to leave.
The cold snap also has brought
out very forcibly the shortage of
coal; every coal and wood dealer in
Cambridge has been besieged all day
by anxious customers, who begged
for quantities large and small. The
worst OF it is that at this time there
is practically no coal at all here.
There will be an ample supply of
coal for all in the course of a few
weeks; the coal is already mined, and
only awaits cars for transportation.
However, everyone should use coal
as sparingly as possible in order to
conserve the supply. Those, too,who
have sufficient supply on hand to
last them for several weeks, should
hold off for the present, in order to
let those who have none, or who ,are
getting only from day to day, get a
small quantity ahead.
While the weather today still re-
mains cold, the thermometer being
down to IA degrees this morning the
indications are that the spell will be
| broken by Wednesday,; in fact, there
/ is already some tendency toward
moderation.
On account OF the cold all trains
on main lines are running late; the
passenger train on the Delaware Di-
vision of the P. B. & w. R. R. was so
late today that the Cambridge and
Seaford branch did not wait for it,
consequence of which there was on
ly local pickup mail, no outside pa
pers reaching here.

Insurance Of Soldiers
And Sailors

Washington, D. c.. Dec. S.--The
act which provides for Government
lie insurance for soldiers and sailors

of insurance applied for sometimes
reaching a total of fifty million dol
lars in single cay.
The law provides that soldiers,
sailors, marines and nurses in active
service may obtain from the Govern
ment life insurance in amounts rot
exceeding $4,000 at premium rates
ranging from IS cents a month at
the age of p years to $1.20 month
at the age of 81 years, for each ST.
