Speech Energy.
THE energy of a million persons a

THE energy of a million persons all
talking at once would not boil a
cup of tea in an hour. 1t would not
generate enough energy to carry home
a pound of butter or peel an orange.
These statements can be made as a
result of investigations carried on by
X. l.. Jones of the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition.
Speech energy of the voice is only
40 ergs a second-an almost infinitesi.
mally small amount of power.
Mr.. Jones has found that the con-
sonant letters take the least amount
OF energy to produce. The pitch of
frequency Of the consonants Is much
higher than that of the vowels, how
ever.
He has also found that the sounds
OF the voice which are most difficult
The sounds ~" and "a" also are diff
ficult
The most sensitive instruments were
used in the experiments, which have
covered a period of many years. The
four most difficult letters to hear are
responsible for more than one-half of
the mistakes in understanding result
ing from conversation, Mr.. Jones be-
lieves.
The human ear elicits unbounded
praise from Mr.. Jones, who says:
The ordinary ear is an exquisitely
developed organ. 1t can perceive
sound waves ranging in pressure from
.OO1 dyne to more than 1000 dyne,
and in frequency of about 20 cycles
to more than 10000 cycles, a range
of about 10 octaves."
Human speech, however, occupies
less than six octaves of this range, he
said.
