| Show lb TUncle Ray's THE OGDEN (UTAH) STANDARD-EXAMINETUESDAY EVENING AUGUST 24 1948 R grand-childr- I Sound travels through the air at h of a the rate of about mile a second When a man fires a gun at a h of a distance from us of mile we may see a flash coming from the barrel one second before we hear the noise of the shot In the same way we may see a lightning flash one or more seconds before we hear the thunder from that flash If lightning is flashing two miles away it takes 10 seconds for the sound of the thunder to reach our ears Note that I say that sound travh els through the air at "about" of a mile per second The speed is a little greater when the air is warm than when it is cold The difference is only about 100 feet in 80 degrees change in temperature Fahrenheit There are limits to the distance at which sounds can be heard It is seldom that we hear thounder from points more than five miles away If an explosion could be heard at a distance of thousands of miles it would be hours before the sound reached our ears Thus an explosion at Halifax Nova Scotia would take more than four hours to reach San Diego Calif That may seem a strange statement when we know that radio can bring a voice from Europe across the Atlantic ocean in a split second Radio however is different Common sound waves are turned into electric waves and travel at the speed of light It takes only a tiny part of a second for radio waves to cross an ocean Reaching a receiving set the electric waves are turned back into sound waves and we hear the voice Common sound waves travel faster if they go through water or a metal such as iron They are carried by water almost five times as fast as by air and they go through Iron about 15 times as fast as through air If you can use a pipe— say one with a length long of 100 feet — you may find it interesting to test the speed of sound Let a friend tap one end with a hammer while you place your ear close to the other end Then you should hear two sounds from a single tap one coming fast through the pipe the other more slowly through the air (For Nature section of your scrapbook) UNCLE RAY Tomorrow: The Ginkgo Tree Interesting life stories of Mozart

one can be sure of a thing until he has it of People think they are sure was things Buster Bear thought he sure of all the honey in Busy Bee's storehouse but you remember what happened He had eaten but half of it when Farmer Brown's boy gave him such a fright that he ran away leaving the other half More than once Reddy Fox thought he was sure of catching Peter Rabbit only to have Peter get away most unexpectedly Then there was the time when Little Mr Striped Snake caueht one u of the children of a uit two trmsrwm T a tvh arH hH already begun to swallow him Hee had every reason to think that but was sure of little Sticky-toe- s along came Farmer Brown's boy and made him cough up little So you see it is of no Sticky-toe- s use to even think you are sure of anything until you have it where it cannot get away or be taken aay from you Longlegs knew this Anyway he ought to have known it But the fact the plain fact remains that he thought he was sure of one of those minnows He could almost feel the comfortable sensation of one of them wriggling down his long throat to his empty stomach Nearer the careless minnows came and nearer The head of Longlegs was drawn back ready to be shot forward with the speed of lightning The biggest fattest minnow was lazily swimming straight toward him and was almost within reach Right then something happened Out of the Big Hickory Tree on the bank of the Smiling Pool flew another fisherman He was not very big He wore a pointed cap which made his head look too big for his but body and he was modestly and handsomely dressed in blue gray and white Straight out right over that school of minnows he flew and for just a second seemed to stand still in the air Then he closed his wings and shot down There was a silvery splash and the then then up he came with stout biggest fattest minnow in his bill With a harsh rattling cry of triumph he flew back to the Big Hickery Tree where he thumped the minnow on a branch and then began to gulp it down head first It was Rattles the Kingfisher Of course all the other minnows darted away in great fright while poor Longlegs could only stare across at that breakfast he had thought he was so sure of and which was now going down the throat of Rattles the Kingfisher Next story: Longlegs Calls Rattles a Thief (Released by The Associated event is slated for Monday Aug Newspapers) 30 at eight p m in the Box
