About Sound Wayes.

One of those scientists who are al
ways developing apparent paradoxes
in thought has come forward with the
statement that sound itself is not ex.
traneous, but exists only because Of
nerve. In other words. If the ears OF
the human race were removed tomor-
row the world would be absolutely
noiseless to humanity. The contention
is that the sound waves. travelling at
a rate Of 1890 feet a second. create
invisible ripples in the air just as a
pool ripples when a rock is thrown
into it. The greater the force of these
waves the louder the sound But there
is no noise until these sound waves
strike the sensitive nerves of the ear.
Thus, reverting to the original PROPOSE
ton, the air waves themselves would
be noiseless did they not operate in
conjunction with the human sense Of
hearing
