SPEED OF SOUND
Sound of all kJudaJ the softest
whisper, bngle notes, the clap of
thunder, or the crack of a rifle,
travels through the air with a
speed of 1,124 Heet per second. ;
Light travels so fast that it
may be treated as being seen at
any distance the insttnl it starts.
These two properties of light And
sound may be used to determine
the distance a thunder cloud is
away, by multiplying the num-
rtAr fit aannnAa Ka1w..n 2
the flash and hearing the thund.
er, by 1,121ft- and the prodaot
will give the distance in feet. This
can be reduced to yards by di
viding it by 3, the number of
feet in a yard: into miles by di
viding by 5,280, he number ol
feet in a mile. : ' r .
If standing in Grande Ronde
valley you see a thunder cloud
on the surrounding mountains
and note that it is ten seconds
from seeing the flash until yoa
bear the thunder you may know
that the storm is 2 miles and 25
yards distant. If the cloud is
over head, and there are two se
couds between the flash of li ght
ning and hearing the clap of
thunder you may know that the
cloud is 2,249 feet or nearly a
half mile above you. Military
men calculate the distance of the
enemy's batteries by this rule,
and range theirguns according
