THE MIRROR ~ Scientists Assure Us Sound Doesn't Exist A writer in an English newspaper says: "What hurts most is when two or more horns, with noises pitch- «d within a tone or semi-tone of each is other, are sounded together.' Well, then, we have only to provide by law that all honks shall be standardized, "preferably on one of the three notes ci the same common chord. it is a happy thought, but a music critie robs it of all its joy. Even though two approaching motors sounded precisely the same note and at precisely the same time, if they Were meeting at twenty-two miles an tour--we are assured that they can really go that fast in London--"our pedestrian would actually hear the interval of a tone between them." But the common run of -- intervals would be distressingly -- less. That "If, of two ap- proaching motors sounding the same not simultaneously, one wag going _f've miles an hour faster than the other, the stationary pedestrian would fear the interval of a comma between them--which is far more _ irritating than any mere tone or semi-tone." If the proposed plan is to work, ob- viously, the motors must be station- : ary," says the New York Times. "That also is a happy thought, and especially as it does away altogether with the need of horns. Or, if mod- em progress insists, it might be en-' === acted that before tooting the motor- ist should stop, look and listen, being | deprived of the right of way by the | traffic cop if he tooted out of tune. When all the world is awheel, the pedestrian who curses honk and honker is cursing himself, prospec- tively or retrospectively. It is a mad world, but in spite of all the hulla- baloo we somehow love it. We may not all have what the French call nostalgia for gutter. mud, but after a month in the silent, open spaces most of us begin to dream of the metropolis. Something of this sort occurred to the music critic. He was reminded of a couplet of Milton's, which appar- ently he would improve in this way: Towered cities please us then, and the busy honk of men. After all, what is sound? Scientists assure us that it really doesn't exist. "Outside our living bodies there is no sound, but only eternal silence." A lady who had been attending lec- ture courses on botany told her hus- band the only plants she could re- member were Aurora Borealis and Delirium Tremens.
