Such experiments have been tried under his direction. ment proved that the voice, while a person reads a book in an open field, in the ordinary tone, is heard distinctly in front to a distance f 100 feet, at the side toa distance of 75, and the rear to the distance of 30 feet. In ex- rimenting on practical acoustics, it ie, there- fore, necessary to place the speaker opposite a wall, and to note the distance at which he ceases to take cognizance of the reflection of the sound of bis voice. A wall lined with thin board will produce a retlection loud, but A steel wall will produce the highest degree of resonance; so will a wall of glass. The principles of acoustics thus laid down have been applied with success in the con- straction of the new lecture room in the Smith- sonian Institute A Committee, of which Prof. Henry wae the hub, was charged with the duty of making this apartment as nearly per- fect as a public room could be.
