TINKNoWN to the great ma
" jority of the increasing flocks
Of tourists who yearly enjoy the
marvels and beauties Of Yellow
stone Park. there has existed
there for a long time a weird
aeolian mystery upon which q
most interesting light has now
been shed by DR.. Hugh NJ. Smith.
The mystery is best described in
Chittendon's book on the Yellow
stone as follows: \
"a most singular and interest
ing acoustic phenomenon of this
region, although rarely noted by
tourists is the occurrence OF
strange and indefinable sounds.
They have long been noted by
explorers. but only in the vicin-
ity of Shoshone and Yellowstone
lakes. They seem to occur IN
the morning and to last only
for a moment. They have an APP
parent motion through the air.

writer's being from north to
south. They resemble the ring
ing Of telegraph wires or the
humming of a swarm or bees BE-
ginning softly in the distance.
growing rapidly palmer until d1'
rectIy overhead, and then fading
as rapidly in the opposite direc-
ton. Although this phenomenon
has been made the subject or
scientific study no national ex'
PLANTATION of it has ever been ad-
Vanced."
The explanation given by DR..
Smith in letter to science
while dissipating the mystery IN
one sense, heightens the surprise
of the reader that such eftects
as he describes can arise from
so simple a clause. It ts also an
example Of the power OF sclentlIlc
curiosity, exercised under the
guidance of q healthy belief In
the unvarying law Of cause ana
effect, to clear away the mental
fogs in which legends and super
stitions flourish.
Strange Experience
DR.. Smith was in Yellowstone
Park with a companion in July.
1919. One morning they pushed
off in their canoe from the snln-
Civ beach at the southern emu
of Shoshone Lake, headed horth'
ward. The surface of the lake
was CLASSY, the air still, the SKY
cloudless, but with a faint maze
banging over the water.
"The canoe had barely gotten
under wav and was not more
than 90 metres from the shore
when there suddenly arose
musical sound of rare sweetness,
rich timbre and full volume,
whose effect was increased by
the noiseless surroundings. The
sound appeared to come from III
rectIy overhead, and both or us
instinctively glanced upward;
each afterward asserted that so
great was his establishment that
he was almost prepared 10 see a
pipe organ suspended in mldalr.
The sound by the most perfect
graduation increased in volume
and pitch, reaching it's climax Il
few seconds after the padding
was involuntarily suspended, and
then rapidly growing fainter and
diminishing in pitch it seemed
to pass away toward the south.
The sound lasted 10 or is sec.
onds. and was subsequently adj
Judged to range in pitch from
a little below center C to a little
above tenor C of the pianoforte,
the tones blending in the most
perfect chronatic scale"
When the padding was re-
sumed the phenomenon required.
Observation then showed that
the sound was coincident with
the motion of the canoe; when a
certain speed was reached the
sound was produced; before that
speed was attained theSs was no
