Voices Buried in the Air

Occasionally operators at wireless stations
port that they have heard sounds of voices music,
tramping of crowds, and explosions of sound for
which they cannot account. 1t is supposed that in
yet not understood way the vibrations of the
wireless pick up these sounds. The operators say
that the air does not suffer from attenuation"
wires do, and that they believe that the wireless
ton will eventually be able to pick up sound at any
distance II this he true, may indeed be on the
eve of an electric miracle 1t may be possible that
in the future the voices of the past will be brought
back to us the waves of the air. Here is the
theory:
Vibrations of all sounds thrown into the air
and remain there for some time. This is shown by
the length of time required for the echo to return to
it's starting point, by the length of time which clap
between the sending and the receiving of wire
less CALL and by the fact that sound travels to u.s. as
is indicated by the little pause which he per-
ceived before we hear what we have already seen.
The air envelope around the EARTH however is only
fifteen miles deep. Outside of that radius vibra-
tions cannot carry. This has been demonstrated by
the kites which the weather bureau has used for
number of years help in the prediction of temper
atures. Now from all this evidence, we have this
deduction: The earth is ball whrling around in
space with envelope of fifteen miles thick an
envelope that must have absorbed all the sounds
that have been made since the world began.
The question is, where those soundsY They
must be somewhere. They must be within the radi-
of fifteen miles, unless their vibrations have died
out, and recent experiments have shown, it is con-
tended the probability that vibration is the real per-
petual movement. The range of the wireless is
something over 5000 miles, so that even at this
comparatively early day in electrical SCIENCE it may
be that are beginning pick up these vibrations.
Wireless operators always complaining of
breaks in their transmissons, queer, odd, sounds,
which almost articuate, and which cannot be
accounted for any other ground than that of some
phenomena connected with the lingering vibrations
of other days.-Selected

Sharing the Honor

In her life of Lord William Beresford, Mrs.
Stuart Menzes tells this story of the generosity of
that stout-hearted nobleman.
At regimental dinner given in his honor
shortly after he had the Victoria Cross he was
being carried round the table on the shoulders of
some of his old pals when he espied in
of the room doctor wearing the ribbon Of the Vic
toria Cross. The moment he could free himself from
the afectionate attentions of his friends he made
dive for the doctor, and, hosting him his shout
ders, regardless of the mans embarrassed protests,
he round the with him while all present
cheered Justify.
In the zenith of his pleasure he was thinking of
the other man. and wished him to share in the ap-
plause and cheers of the evening. With character
istically quick perception and sympathy he had
guessed what memories stirring in the old he
ro's heart.-The Youths Companion

binary evolutionary theories of human derivation;
it is virtually the the difficulty to the

human mind or human language as developing by
degrees from animal mind and animal noises; nor
have we any facts to support such conjecture. In

The moment that the American business man

orders that those he employed should STOP and the

SPIES ACTIVE In
AMERICAN RANKS

With the American Army in France,
Saturday, Feb. 16.-An American
field hospital in town within our
lines apparently was the target for
a German airplane which flew over
it Friday night and dropped several
unusually heavy bombs.
The hospital, in which were num-
ber of sick and wounded officers and
men, was the building nearest the
places where the German airman
dropped two different sets of bombs
Fortunately none of the missiles
reached their mark, although the hos
pital patients and the residents OF
tho town were severely shaken by
the explosions. American anti-air-
craft guns engaged the enemy, but
without success. The hospital prob
ably will be moved to less danger
GUS spot.
Faces where the Germans have
ia pped the American telephone lines
at the front have been discovered and
steps have been taken to prevent
these occurrences happening again.
Insulation has been found scraped of
wires at a certain number of places
where the enemy has been listening
in
re enemy wire actually was found
attached to our wire and running out
across No Mans Land. Just how this
was accomplished it is not permit
ted to disclose, although among the
men there is talk of spy hunts"
This tapping" of wires at times
has caused considerable temporary
Inconvenience, fictitious names being
used over the telephone lines for
places and officers. American wires
frequently have been connected in
some way with those of the enemy
and on one occasion an American of
ficel is said to have talked to Ger
man in a listening post when he
started to use the telephone The
German made few terse remarks
and then the connection was broken.
