Ordinary air is about 20 parts oxygen gas, 80 parts nitrogen gas; also contains small amounts of oth er gases and more or less moisture, These gases are not chemically combined, but simply mixed to- gether—as distinct as lo many grains of wheat arid co n mingled together in a measure. The oxygen is essential to com bustion, also absolutely necessary to sustain life. The prin-cipal func tion of the other gas (nitrogen) seems to be to dilute the oxygen, which would otherwise be too strong. 2, As We rise in a balloon or airplane or climb a ■mountainside, the air constantly gets thinner, Half the air is within four miles of the earth, At 20 miles the air is 100 times thinner than at sea level.

The low est sounds are caused by vibra tions as slow as 20 per second. High shrill sounds have vibrations as high as 10,000 or more per second. Air vibrations between 20 and 10,000 per second cover the range of human hearing, or what is known as Audio Frequency. One cannot perceive any sound from air vibrations that are slower or more rapid than the Audio Fre- quency range. 6. Radio waves are vibrations in the ether; sound waves vibrations in the air.
