The difference adds greatly to the credit of the residents of our Ix-autiful city too.

They went to Liberty Center on a freight train but that place was not good j enough for them either so they came to Blutffon. Instead of order ; ing the out of town a couple of men ! bought the boys their breakfast and then paid their way to Decatur on the local.—'Bluffton Evening Banner. Clothcw nnd the Man.

CUHIOSITILS OF SOUND. Every Koine Ila i Its Corresponding Kote on the Musical Scale. In very high or mountainous regions sounds become diminished in loudness so that a conversation cannot be carried on in an ordinary tone of voice. In mines or in a diving bell the reverse of this is the case. Speech becomes so startling tliut it must be carried on in whispers to be at all endurable to the ear. Sounds of all kinds become musical if the vibrations of air are uniform and rapid enough. It is said that the puffs of an engine would make a tremendous organ peal of music If they could lie made to attain the rapidity of fifty or sixty a second. Everything in nature has its keynote, as it were, and attuned to one particular musical sound. This fact can be very easily verified in everyday lift-. Stand near an open piano and speak in an ordinary tone. While speaking you will suddenly hear a string within reverberate to your voice. The tick of a watch, the sound of every human voice, the bark of a dog. the mew of a cat, the noise of a wagon, the roll of thunder, the fall of rain, the running of water—in fact, everything about us can easily be placed by an attentive ear on its proper musical note, one of the sounds of the scale. This is a most Interesting experiment and easily verified. It is said that the ear can distinguish eleven octaves of sound; but, as a rule, those made by quick, short vibrations arc more easily conveyed. For Instance, the whir of a locust makes a more distinct impression than the sighing of the wind through the trees. A whirlwind in its approach is noiseless. It is only when it strikes some obstacle that the volume of sound becomes terrific to us. Then we receive the secondary shorter waves from tlie destruction of this obstacle. Tyndall says all friction la rhythmic. Flames are notoriously sensitive to sound. They will bend and flicker and even respond with a leap of quivering light to a high, shrill sound. Thia is another interesting experiment, if we use a glass tula- with a small jet of gas, by lowering or raising it to certain points we can cause it to shriek out shrilly or to answer sympathetica! ly to its own keynote when sung or spoken by the voice. If we could only hoar the roll of the vast oceans in harmony all around us in our everyday life, we could say with truth, indeed, what the poet only imagined: ‘‘There’s not the smallest orb which thou beholden! but In its orbit like an angel sings, still qinring to tile young eyed cherubim."—Baltimore American.
