Mysterious @BrontIdeas

Mystery still attaches to certain ex.
ploslve sounds heard In various parts
Of the world and known to science as
"brontides." on the coast of Belgium
these sounds seem TO come from the
sea, and nre called locally "mlstpoef-
fers," In the Ganges delta OF India,
similar sounds are called "Barisal
guns" Brontdes are well known in
some parts of Italy, where they bear
II great variety Of names. In Haiti a
sound Of this character Is known as
the "gouffre,' while In parts of Aus
tralia II Is called the desert sound"
Brontldes mostly take the form Of muf.
fled detonations, of indefinite direction
Probably they are of subterranean or
ign. Studies Of eccentricities in the
transmission of sound through the at
mosphere lead to the conclusion that
some of the sounds hitherto reported
as brontides were really due to can
nonadng or blasting.-Popular Sci
ence Monthly.
