DISCORDANT SOUND
MAY BE MASTERED
BY NEW INVENTION
IOWA CITY, Jan. 28.—By causing
successive waves of sound to inter
fere with each other’s transmission,
Dr. G. W. Stewart, a professor of
physics at the University of Iowa,
has perfected a device which he be
lieves in time may be used to elimi
nate undesirable noises and to ad
just sounds “to an individual aes
thetic taste.”
The establishments of quiet zones
for hospitals and the requirement of
mufflers for automobiles testify to the
penetrating nature of sound waves.
They will pass, Dr. Stewart says, thru
tlie most minute crack, and even thru
an apparently solid wall. With the
theory that sound waves would ex
pend themselves were they placed in
conllict with one another, Dr. Stew
art worked out his device, which he
calls an acoustic wave filter.
The results are obtained, Dr. Stew
art explains, not by placing obstruc
tions in the path of sound, but by
setting up a sort of battle between
the various wraves, thus causing a
disordered transmission.
A brass cylinder tube one-half inch
in diameter and six inches long, con
taining nothing but air and open at
both ends, is caused to transmit all
tones of a piano up to a certain note
and above this to transmit no audi
ble sound. With another and slightly
different tube, the tones below7 this
same or any other note, will be re
fused transmission, whereas all high
er tones pass freely.
“Other equally remarkable results
of a similar nature can be obtained,”
said Dr. Stewart in explaining his de
vice. “The tubes, w7hile entirely
open and free from obstructions, have
at regular intervals, branching tubes
and chambers. At each branching
point waves are reflected backward
through the tube. The design of
the branches can be made in such a
manner as to produce a backward re
flection and an interference of almost
any group of tones.”
Dr. Stew7art explained that he con
sidered the device truly a filter. It
is a new basic method of manipula
ting sound waves and may find ap
plication in many acoustic devices in
use today.
"The telephone, the phonograph and
even musical instruments themselves
may sooner or later profit by this new
device,” Dr. Stewart said. “In
fact there is opened to the imagina
tion the possibility of the elimina
tion of undesirable noises and the en
joyment of sounds adjusted to an in
dividual aesthetic taste. ”
Floating Bottle Survives
Seven Rough Years at Sea
FALMOUTH, Jan. 28.—Eleven years
ago Capt. J. R. Moore, the landlord
of a local hotel here, was in charge
of the motor ketch Fort Churchill,
when the vessel was caught in a
blizzard at Port Perrique Bay, on the
Labrador coast.
Thinking that his ship was doom
ed and that the crew would perish,
the captain enclosed farewell mes
sages in a bottle and threw them
overboard. After he had done this
it was found possible to beach the
vessel and all lives were saved.
Capt. Moore has now received a
message from the Hudson Bay Com
pany to the effect that the bottle with
the messages has been washed up on
an island at Labrador.

STOLE GOODS TO
EMBARASS HUSBAND
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 28.—When de
tectives arrested Mrs. Peggy Kenyon
on a shoplifting charge she readily ad
mitted her guilt, but explained that
she was the wife of Clyde Kenyon, a
wealthy Fort Worth druggist and was
stealing to “humiliate my husband.”
He had humiliated her, she declared,
by hiring private detectives to watch
her.
Mrs. William Taylor, 71, of Hot
Springs County, was the winner of
first prize in a state-wide home im
provement contest held in Arkansas.

As a result of surgical operations,

gained their vision, and were able to
enjoy the sight of Christmas for the
first time. They are Lillie Bryant,

Recent discoveries in connection
with the structure of the atom, are
declared by the United States Bureau
of Standards to be the outstanding
scientific triumph of the past decade.
From Bolivar, Mo., come the report
that Amos Cady, blind from childhood
and a musical prodigy, has had his
sight restored by a surgical operation
but in regaining his sight lost his
ability to play any instrument. Here
is something for the ologists to pon
