Wind and Sound.

A government scientist gives an In
teresting explanation Of the action of
the wind In preventing the spread OF
sound. t
It Is, he claims, not the wind, AS
such, that prevents sound from tray
cling against 1t. but difference In the
strength Of the wind. II. for instance,
the wind Is stronger above than be-
low, or stronger at one side, its ef-
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 It from going as far In
a certain direction as 1T may have
been expected to go. ssss
Some Of the sirens In this country.
It appears. produce sounds which
ought Theoretically to be audible at a
distance of 1900 miles, but. i'm fact,
the authorities are satisfied IL they
are heard only two miles away. The
reason for the discrepancy between
calculation and experiment was prob
ably atmospheric detection Of the
sound. IA

Fullerton drew up a chair and began
to talk, much as If we'd invited him to,
about his ~hard-working year In South
America; about the ~fabulously rich
mines in that far-away Utopia Of the
gold-diggers; about his voyage up from
the Isthmus; about the oddness Of his

with the more excruciating oddness of
his meeting me again, here In the East

BRITAIN HELPS PAY
US. BOND INTEREST
Her S50,O0O,00O Installment
on Debt Provides in Part
for Payments Here.

WASHINGTON Oct. ia payment OF
$50, 100000 on account of interest on
Great Britains obligations to the United
States was received to-day by the Treas
ury through the Federal Reserve Bank
at New York. A second payment Of
approximately the same amount Is cx-
pected on November 15
The Treasury announced that the
money received to-day would be used to
provide In part for the $4,000, Oo0 of
interest which became due and payable
to-day on Liberty bonds and Treasury
certificates. Provision Is made in the
Liberty Loan Act that interest on tho
war loans should be utilized for this
purpose.
The payment to-day by the British
Treasury. which was made through j.
p. Morgan & Company. is the first in
terest installment on the s4,750.000. 900
British debt to be paid since May. 1919.
when such payments were suspended
under tentative agreement between the
United States and the debtor nations.
Up to that time Great Britain had paid
approximately s250,0o0,0o0.
The large financial operations put
through by the United States and Brit
ish Governments failed yesterday to dis
turb the money market In New York.
The only effect was a slightly frmer
tendency In call money rates on the
New York Stock Exchange which adj
vanccd to 6 per cent, duplicating high
levels touched last week.
Tho hardening of call money rates
was due largely TO the fact that delir-
cries OF the new United States Az per
cent. bonds started yesterday. In con-
nection with its large quarterly interest
payments OH Liberty bonds the United
States Government withdrew 10000 90
from banks In this district yesterday
and will withdraw SS000,000 to-day
Approximately $137, 100000 was paid
out by the United States Government
yesterday on Liberty 4As and in re-
denlption of short term notes. At the
same time Great Britain deposited a
check with the Federal Reserve Bank
here for 100000 as part payment OF
the interest on her war debt. This
check probably was the largest drawn
in this country since the war.

General buying sent wheat up quickly
at the start here, but the rise coming
after recent gains proved to be great
incentive to realize on holdings. Trans
portation differences which tended to
make speculative selling unpopular failed
to have like effect on hedging and
the pressure from realizing here was
notceably increased through active SELL
ing from Winnipeg houses that were
purchasing at home. Resides, increases
in the domestic and Canadian visible
supply totals served more or less to
temper buIljsh sentiment
EtIropean need of wheat was currently
estimated here as amounting to 250, 0,000,-
600 bushels, exclusive of a shortage Of
100. 900 bushels of rye. Sales to
Europe to-day said to have been limited

tion TO offer we're figured at about

Corn and oats were governed chiefly
by the action of wheat. Leading inter.
ests reported that Germany was paying

equal to 76 cents IN Chicago.
