she received a patch from President

Sound In a I‘ 3.
For a long time it was believed that
sound as well as light. is impeded by
dense fog, and that acoustic signals
Would be materially interfered with by
it: this fallacy has only quite recently
been disproved by the observations and
experiments of Professor Tyndall. On
one memorable occasion it was observed
that sound was singularly distinct during
the prevalence of a dense fog upon the
Serpentine, and that it came fainter II
the fog cleared away: several other inx
stances are quoted to prove this fact.
It is easier to understand the fact that
fog helps sound instead of hindering it,
if we take into consideration the fact
that sound travels through water with
four times the velocity that it does
through the air. Fog is, of course,
nothing but moist air, and must, there.
fore. help instead of impede the trans~
mission of sound.

A Climatic Nolan's Land.
