Sound Waves.

The term sound" is often mistaken
" restricted to the sensation involved
in hearing. The term sound is actual
.y applied to those aerial or other
vibrations which, were they to reach
Inc ear, would be audible. Sound Is
made of waves In material things OF
earth. like mir. metal, water, or wood.
A falling tree produces sound waves
which vibrate symEletrically about 1t
in much the same way as the ripples
On a lake caused by throwing u peb-
5le on its surface.

STATE BOND U

The Jersey Journal, of Jersey City,
is again harping on its old argument
Against the state as a whole peihg
bonded to buy the right of way for
the Translate ship canal that is TO De
CONSTRUCTED from Raritan bay at
Morgan to the Delaware river at Bor-
hentown. The Journal while admitting
that the proposed canal is a good
Anjne and should be built. declares
that is ought to be paid for as far as
the right Of way is concerned at least
mainly by the property owners OF Mid
alesex. Mercer and Burlington
ties who. according to h Journal are
going to rear big fortunes a OF
the cahal project.
The Journal seems to overlook the
fact that the right of way that the
state to buy and present 10
the federal government Is 1000 feet
wide so that what land remains in
private hands will be a considerable
distance from the waterway and or
little value.
But If the Journals argument IN
regard to the canal Is to hold and the
property owners of Middlesex, Mercer
and Burlington should be made TO
nav most of the cost of the right OF
way for the canal. then, to be con-
sistent. it must naturally follow that
the property owners of Hudson, Essex
Bergen and Passaic counties should
nay New Jerseys share of the cost OF
the proposed vehicular tunnel under
the Hudson river. 1t is evident that
the owners of property in h vicinity
of this tunnel are going 10 be made
Immensely wealthy by its construc-
ton Just as the owners of property IN
me vicinity of the present hudson
tubes have been made rich by that
development. Why. then. using the
Jersey Journals argument, shuold not
these people. whose land will double
and treble in value. pay for the cost
of the Improvement that is going to
mean a fortune to them?
The right of way for the proposed
shin canal will cost $4,000 where
as the tunnel project. to which is ink
ed the Camden-Philadelphia bridge
idea. will cost $2s.0o0.o0o. The Jer-
sew Journal sees no objection to bond
ing the whole state for those projects
and would even consent TO a bond
issue of s~14.OoO.000 more to pas fol
the proposed war bonuses to World
War veterans, but IF one top of these
PROPOSITIONS" the Journal goes on to
saw. there is now 10 be added the
ropos to saddle on h state a mil
lion-dollar bond issue to help make
lucky real estate spectators in centra
Jersey rich. it is decidedly possible
that the voters OF New Jersey will
rebel. The end of their patience ant
-forbearance may be reached"
