How You May Hear It It Sound to Other Person' Ear. Laloy. wlio appears to have scien tifically Investigated the matter, as sures us that nut ouly does one not see himself as others see him. but that be does not hear himself as others hear him. Some interesting experiments were made by the French savant in this connection. X In order to i!m;'!::!:r whether a man really knew the sound of his own voice, Laloy haR been at some pains t determine the ."acts. His experiment show that If a person record on t phonograph disk a few sentences pro nounced by himself, together with otb ers recorded by friends, and causes the machine to reproduce, these, It most carried frequently happens that the man more easily recognizes tne voices or nis friends than he does his own. ' It appears that the differences lies In the quality of the tone. Oue hears bis own voice not only through the air. as do his auditors, but across the solid parts between the organs of Bpeech and those of hearing. The sound thus produced . has a different timbre from that conducted to the ear Astoria, Ore., Aug. 7.
