TRICK FOR HEARING '
IN A DIN
—
A person can hear another’s i
speech better amid loud noises if!
he puts his fingers in his ears.
This statement was made in a
General Electric Science Forum
address recently by Dr. Edwin G.
Boring of Cambridge, Mass., fac
ulty member of the Harvard psy-!
chology department.
“You see,” Dr. Boring explain
ed. “the other man has to shout
to be heard above the racket; but i
if he and the racket together are
somewhere near the upper limit
of the loudness you can hear, with i
all your auditory nerve-endings
working, then the whole mass of
sound needs to be stepped down,
made auieter. When there is less
auditory commotion in your ear.'
it can discriminate difference in
sound better. The trick really
works. You cannot hear what the
man is shouting until you put j
your fingers in you rears.”
ATOMIC TREMORS
FELT 560 MILES AWAY
The earthquake-like shock
caused by the test explosion of an j
atomic bomb in New Mexico was
strong enough to travel through
the earth’s rocky crust and record
itself on three seismographs in the
towns of Boulder City, Overton
and Pierce Ferry, Nev., 560 miles
to the northwest, Dr. D. S. Carder,1
in charge of these stations, told
Science Service in response to a
query.
These instruments are main
tained jointly by the U. S. Re- ,
clamation Service and the U. S. !
Coast and Geodetic Survey, to
keep close track of earth shifts by
the heavy load of water piled up
behind the dam.
The instruments of the U. S.
Coast and Geodetic Survey earth
quake observatory at Tucson.
Ariz., though nearer to the scene
of the test, did not show traces of
the shock.
