NO LONGER REFLEc SOUND
Defect Which Made Supreme Court room "Whisperino Gallery"
 Has Been Remedied.

According to the Washington Star the whispering gallery" of the Unitesl States Supreme court has been eliln- inSed. It was Chief Justice White who called 1t whispering gallery In letter to Elliott Woods, superin dent of the capitol he said:
 '"The situation is at times almost unbearble. result which will be read fly appreciated when it Is understood that from one end of the rostrnm io the other there exists what may he described as whispering gallery by which speech in the most modulated tone is magnified and carried from one end of the bench to the other, so that statement by one judge at one end to his neighbor is magnified and spoken into the ear of d member of the conrt at the other end"
 Tie acoustic properties of the Su- preme courtroom have been very bad since 1902, when the roof of the cen tral portion of the capitol was fire proofed and the ceilings of the statu- ary hall and the present Supreme courtroom were fireproofed. The character of the material used made the surface ound-reflecting. The Su- preme court has had a great deal of trouble from that time with the re- fiection of sound from the spherical ceiling. This defect has now been remedied at cost of $10,O00.
