Acousticc—An American humorist was asked: "How far does sound travel?" His idea is that it depends a good deal upon the noise you are talking about. "The noise of a dinner bell, for instance," he says, " travels half a mile is a second, while an invitation to get up in the morning I have known to be three-quarters of an hour going up two pairs of stairs, and then not have strength enough left to be heard."
