HOW COLD AFFECTS SOUNDS
Numerous Examples Can Be Given.
but Exact Reason Is Hard
to Explain.

A close observer describes two phe
nomena of nature not easily explained
First, that natural sounds are very
different in the colder than in the
| warmer months of the year; and, sec.
ond, that waters have different tints
during the colder and warmer months.
A number of examples occur to
prove the first phenomenon. Who has
not noticed the contrast in the noise
of the wind In different seasons when
1t blows around the corner of tbs
house-in summer what soft, mellow
tone 1t has and in winter what a
harsh. rough whistle?
Then, again, let us stroll along the
banks Of a stream in May, June OF
July, and we will observe that the wa.
ter will then make a gentle, babbling
sound, while in November or winter
1T will, with not great volume, make a
hoarse, gurgling noise.
Still again, il we ramble in the
woods during late spring or early sum.
mer, we cannot but notice with what
softness and mildness the wind has
been blowing through the tops of the
trees: on the other hand, what a roar
Ing it makes in cold weather.
Perhaps the trees being with or
without foliage may cause some diff.
ference, but it will be observed in May,
before the leaves are out to any ex-
tent, there is even then a marked diff
ference between that time and Deem
Der. Often we have heard it along
telegraph wires during the summer
and winter, and have noted the con.
Louis Globe Democrat.

DISEASE SPREAD BY ANIMALS
Scientists and Physicians Have Pre-
pared Strong Indictment
Against the Beasts.

Although animals are not affected
by the sickness and communicable dis
eases Of man, yet, for some unexplain
able reason, the scientists and physi
clans declare that a whole host OF
Outlines fatal ailments of mankind are
traceable to the beasts, says Popular
Science Monthly.
The horse is blamed for spreading
CHAMBERS, rabies, lockjaw and other dis
eases Of five or more syllables. Dogs
and cats are branded as the circula-
tors Of rabies, parasitic worms of diff
ferent kinds, fleas and ticks.
The COW Is the worst offender. The
list Of diseases laid at her barn door
is headed with tuberculosis and grows
constantly more blood-curdling, until
we wonder why physicians and scien-
lists consent to the use of milk, butter
and cheese which still lead the dieti-
tians' list Of nutritives.
Rats, squirrels and fieaS spread the
bubonic plague. We are prepared TO
believe that lice and bedbugs. flies and
mosquitoes are the rapid transit lines
for yellow fever and malaria. We are
willing to forego the luscious oyster
all the year around, if need be, to
avoid typhoid fever.
