HOW SOUND is TRANSMITTED
Vibration Of the Air Brings II to the
Ear-TraVels Faster in Summer
Than in Winter.

Sound is transmitted to the ear
by the vibration Of the air. When
one particle Of air Is made to vibrate
It sets the adjacent particles TO vi
brating and so n sound wave, If not
INSTRUCTED, passes in all directions
from the sounding body. The calcu-
lated velocity Of sound in the air
when the temperature Is at freezing
point Is 1850 feet per second. When
The temperature increases, sound
travels faster, and the rate has been
calculated at a little more than one
foot per second for each degree Of
rise in Fahrenheit's thermometer
Contrary to popular belief sound
travels faster in summer than in
winter, and in warm than In cold
climates. 1t might be thought that
sound would travel more slowly
through dense atmosphere but the
elasticity Increases as rapidly az the
density. and, therefore, the velocity
~ sound is not affected by varying
density The velocity OF sound in
water, when at the greatest density, IS
4IoT.4 feet per second. The expert
ments by which this velocity was de
termined were made by VI. Callaodin
in 1876. across the Lake Of Geneva.
from Role TO Thonon, distance OF
about nine miles. Water, therefore,
transmits sound four times as fast as
air does.

DRAINAGE OF LAND

Burlington, May 4.-The extension
service college OF agriculture, Uni.
versity Of Vermont. IN cooperation

agriculture, has during the last two
or three years given considerable at
tention TO farm drainage in Vermont

In Vermont the lands needing dl a..
age may be divided into three
classes, (D The fat or clay loan

and Lake Memphremagog. GU The

ed or swamp land found on many
farms scattered throughout the state.
The first two classes are, in general,
subject to reclamation by drainage
at reasonable cost, but economy re-
quires that such lands usually be
handled in comparatively large
tracts This requires cooperation
among the landowners.
1t is with the third cass--the scat

When a field requires drainage the
