One of the government scientists

One Of the government scientists
gives an interesting explanation of
the action of the wind in preventing
the spread of sound. 1t is, he claims,
not the wind, as such, that prevents
sound from travelling against 1t, but
differences In the strength Of the wind.
If, for instance, the wind is stronger
above than below, or stronger at one
side, it's effect will be to tilt the sound
waves in one direction or another.
Differences Of temperature in the air
also cause DETECTION Of the waves Of
sound. Other atmospheric causes ex-
list which defect sound from straight
course and prevent it from going as
far In q certain direction as it may
have been expected to go. Some OF
the sirens in this country, says this
scientist, produce sounds which ought
theoretically to be audible at dis
lance of 1900 miles, but in fact, the
authorities are satisfied If they are
heard only two miles away. The rea-
son for the discrepancy between cal
culation and experiment was probably
atmospheric detection of the sound.
