telephonic concerts of the other. Moreover, nothing whatever it said in this report about the reflection of sound; though that is the crux of the whole queation of the valus of fog | signals. Sound travels through alg af a rate | which varies with the temperature, and which may be taken a 1138 feet per second at 'a tem- perature of 75 F.; and the intensity of the sound depends upon the density of the air at the place of origin and diminishes in 'a, well-known ratio with the distance. These phenomena, the have nothing to do with the audibility of the sound at any given distance and time, If the al were perfectly homogeneous the sound would. reach a given spot always wik a given intensity;
and the rate of speed would matter nothing. It Incroires about 1 lect" per second for every | centigrade degree of elevation of temperature.
Unfortunately for mariners the air is not always bemog neous between a fog signat station and a "shin, and, the sound may never reach a vessel, on occasion, at a distance at which it is generally perfectly andible. Prhaps the most remarkable case of what we may call acoustic opacity is recorded by Mr. R. G. H. Kean, Rector of the University of Virginia, U. S. A., in a letter to Professor Tyndals He watched the battle of Gaines's Farm, fought near Richmond, Virglels, on the 28th June, 1862, between the armies of Generals Lee and McClellan, from a distance of about a mile and a hill. “Yet looking," he Hays, "for nearly two hours, from about 5 to 7 p.m. on a midsummer afternoon, at a battle In which at least 50, os men were actually engaged, and doubtless at least 100 pleces of field artiliery, through an atmosphere optically us "Iimple as possible, not a single sound of the
battle was audibin, to General Randolph and myself." It would be easy to give cases of similar inand 'bility at se, but the foregoing is such a marvellous illustration of the case in point, that we may rest satisfied with it. The moral to be drawn is that it is quite possible sation which is firing guns, sounding sirens, whistles or ing-herns, and hear nothing. there were certain direc tons only in which under anomalous circumstances signals were inaudible, the problem would be comparatively simple. But suppose a ship in a fog bears a fog-Algoal, and steaming on loves the sound. The obvious Inference is that she la golog away from the point of danger, but this is not necessarily the Case: It is quite possible for a signal to be perceptible at say a mile and a half, topercepible for the next half mile, and then audible again. What can a ship in a fog do then? If it trusts to the ohyl-as inference she may be lost.
