w a bell or drumhead that has
just been struck. So long as it gives
forth sound, each instrument quiv-
ers with vibrations. Lay your hand
firmly on any Of them; the Ubra-
tons stop and 50 does the sound.
Why?
Because, when the particles of the
mandolin, the guitar, the bell or tte
drum have been set vibrating, they
stir up vibrations in the air which,
beating on your ear-drums, produce
what we call sound. Like light and
heat, sound Is the result OF wave
motion, though of a different char
acter.
If you could put any Of these
sound-producing instruments under
glass bell and gradually exhaust
the air, the sound would become
fainter and fainter. no matter how
strongly the vibrations continued.
Why? Because, unlike waves of
light and heat, which are produced
by ether vibrations, sound travels
only through material bodies. It
cannot jump what we call a vacuum
"a space occupied only by ether.
Get someone to make a barely
audible tapping or scratching at the
farther end Of a long table and see
how much louder the tapping sounds.
This shows that air is not the only
body that transmits sound. A bunch
OF feathers or a sheet of cork, to be
sure. is a bad sound transmitter; but
this is because neither vibrates.
Chiefly Through Air
Sounds generally reach our ears
through the air, however, so the
study of sound is chiefly the study
Of vibrations in air caused by various
vibrating bodies. One very impor-
tant additional difference between
light and heat vibrations is that the
former are transverse (crosswise),
while the latter or longitudinal
Qengthwise). We often represent
sound waves by a wavy line-and
very satisfactorily, provided we re-
member that such a line does not
show the path OF the particles Of
air. This path is really a straight
one. each particle moving backward
and forward with and against the di-

Floyd Collins and Miss Alma
Clark were to have eloped today. but
only a few of their friends knew the

Floyd Collins and Miss Clark had de-

today and return as man and wife.
ut was said that objections to the
marriage had been made and that the
elopement was planned as means of
overcoming it.

A long day Of digging was

RAILROAD ASKS
FRANCHISE FOR
MORE TRACKACE
Resolution for Extension
of Rio Grande Rail-
way to Rice Mill Pass
es on First Reading

An ord nance granting to the Rio
Grandc Railway franchise to extend
lines to tie old rice mill on Harrison
street, and to make other extensions to
the lines in that ncghborhood was
passed on first reading by the city com
mission Of Brownsville at ity regular
meeting this morning.
The petition was presented by f. B..
Camiadc, acting in behalf Of L. j.
Bourne, manager Of the Sugarland
railroad, who was not able to be here
The old rice :.ill was recently pur-
chased by W. T. Eldridge, owner Of
the Sugarland railroad, and rho is back
ing tie Rio Grande railway. The cx
tensions asked would make it possible
to run trains up to the loading platform
Of the rice mill, which could be used
as storage house for any products
brought in from the harbor at Point
Isabel.
The resolution proposes granting Of
franchise to the road on Eleventh
street from Jackson to Monroe, on
Harrison street from Eleventh to Sixth,
which would run the track in front of
the rice mill, and allow trackage no
past the mill, and an extension of the
rice mill spur in southerly direction
across Tenth street. The three extern
sions are necessary in order to allow
turning Of the trains. and to facilitate
operation in the neighborhood of the
depot.
This matter was brought up before
the commission more than a month ago,
but no action was taken on it. 1t was
passed at first reading this morning by
a unanimous vote, second reading be-
ing necessary to make an ordinance Of
the resolution. There is already rail
way line along Harrison street.
Final settlement was also made this
morning of the paving injunction mat
ter, the four commissioners who had
voted in favor of letting the contract
for $4,000 in paving to w. l.. Pearson
d. Go. expressing themselves in favor of
dropping the matter. A telegram from
w. l.. Pearson asking that he be re-
leased from obligations under the con-
tract, and expressing his Willingness to
release the city in case no appeal was
intended, was read. A resolution was
adopted calling for mutual release Of
the city and the paving company on the
terms Of the contract.
Tax matters were taken up and some
of them disposed Of, with a special
meeting scheduled for some day in the
near future to complete action on these
matters. Five bids for the roofing Of
the city hall we're opened, these bids
ranging from $494 on up, on tin, gravel
and rubber process roofings. Action on
this matter was deferred until City En-
gineer j. w. Davis can make recon-
mendation to the city.
John Gregg reported to the city COM
mission on behalf of the chamber of
commerce that S. G. Tucker has been
appointed chairman, but that the board
is not prepared to make a recommends
tion as to a secretary.
