Ring a Bell In a Vacuum and .You Can
not Hoar tho 8ound,
The value of air as a noise and
soujxl medium can rendilj be ascer
tained by suspending n bell from a
silk strand through the neck of a large
twttle from which the air hits been
pumped. By pulling on the silk the
tongite can lie aeon to strike the sides
of the tell, but no sound is beard. A
bell suspended by a metal rod and
rung would be nudlble, the sound
waves being carried to the outside of
tbe liottle by the metal rod. An cx
jierlmcitt of this kind, using an Iron
vessel as n substitute for the glass bot
tle, would lie found not nearly so sat
isfactory, though the bell be suspend
ed from silk as In the former Instance,
owing almost entirely to the' fact that
Iron Is more porous thau glass, conse
quently containing some air, which
would convey an almost lmperceptlblo
sound to tbe outside.
There Is said to exist In Scotland a
stone so opaque as to rentier litaudiblo
even the firing of a cannon. If oue
crouches on the opposite side. All
liquids and gases are excellent sound
conductors: especially Is water ou the
surface, anil certain kinds of wood.
If It was possible for two men to
live a suilicicnt length of time in a
glass box hermetically sealed aud con
taining no air they would Ik unable
to converse, though using the great
