Wind and Sound.

A government scientist gives an In
teresting explanation of the action OF
the wind in preventing the spread of
sound.
1t is he claims, not the wind, az
such, that prevents sound from trav-
cling against 1t, but difference in the
strength of the wind. If, for instance,
the wind Is stronger above than be-
low, or stronger at one side, It's eff
feet will be to tilt the sound waves
In one direction or another. Differ
ences Of temperature in the air also
cause detection Of the waves Of sound.
Other atmospheric causes exist which
defect sound from a straight course
and prevent 1t from going as far In
a certain direction as it may have
been expected to go.
Some Of the sirens In this country
1t appears, produce sounds which
ought theoretically to be audible at a
distance of 1,5OO miles, but, in fact,
the authorities are satisfied II they
are heard only two miles away. The
reason for the discrepancy between
calculation and experiment was prob
ably atmospheric DETECTION Of the
sound.

COOPERATIVE GRAIN
MARKETING METHODS

Excellent System for One Section VIII

in Another - Comparative
Study of Plans.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
In cooperative grain marketing it Is
more essential that the system be
suited to conditions and practical need
than 1t Is that the system itself has
been successfully applied in other
fields. This has been brought out in
an investigation conducted by special
lists Of the bureau of markets, United
States Department of Agriculture, a
report of which has just been pub
lished in department bulletin 937, Co
operative Grain Marketing" One can
not carry his Investigations Of coop
erative grain marketing far, says the
bulletin, without realizing that what
may be an excellent method for one
section and for particular condition
will not always work out successfully
In other sections or when applied to
other conditions. The bulletin makes
a comparative study of methods in the
United States and Canada.
La the United States the most COM
mon type of farmers grain elevators
Is owned and controlled by a body Of
stockholders In the immediate sur
rounding community, and the elevator
is operated as separate unit indie
pendently of any similar elevator.
In Canada the line-house type Of
farmers elevator prevails and Is highly
successful. The line-house type con-
stSts of a number Of elevators con-
trolled by one central office in a large
marketing center Two such COM
panies in Canada own and operate
Over 900 country elevators in the three
great wheat-grpwing provinces.

AGE OF CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE
CbeIIsk in New York Park Was Erected
in Egypt Before the Birth
Of Moses.

Cleopatra's Needle, which stands ir
Central park, New York city, was
given to the United States by Egypt
and was transported here at the ex-
pense Of the late W. H. Vanderbilt. 1t
was erected in 1891 The crabs 1t
stands upon are replicas Of the
originals, which are in the Metropolis
tan museum. In the museum, too, a
model is to be seen showing how the
Obelisk was lowered and raised into
position. It is sixty-seven feet high
and weighs $50 tons.
Gazing at it, it Is hard to realize that
when 1t was erected Moses had not
been born, that not one being in Europe
could read or write, indeed that
Greece, Rome, England had never even
been heard of, remarks the Detroit
News.
When Thothmes III, erected this ODE
lisk, about 1900 B. c., to commemo-
rate his victories over the enemies OF
Egypt, his country was the richest
and most powerful In the world the
great center of trade and the leader
in letters and arts. The last indepen-
dent ruler of Egypt Cleopatra, had
the obelisk transferred from Heliopo-
lis, the old capital to Alexandria,
thereby giving 1t its present name.
With the fall of ancient civilizations
the old buildings of Egypt decayed and
everything about that country was for
gotten. Finally, at the instigation Of
Napoleon, scientists undertook to solve
these secrets and aroused interest in
that long-forgotten country.
