The siren would probably have been yet more eflldeut ns also doubtless a horn capable of |iroducing two notes differ ing, say, by the Interval of a third or a fifth, n conclusion arrived nt many years ago by experiments which have been unhappily too much lost sight of. Professor Pinzzl Smith found by trial hat a high n :te was generally more penetrating ns a signal, but advised that such n note should not bo used alone, assigning ns one reason that In dividuals possess note deafness similar to color blindness, so that no one note cbtild lie trusted. Experiments went to prove that n sound varying between n high and n low note best arrested at- tentlon at long range. - And tho same result has been arrived at In another way. The peculiar cry of the Alpine guide, which Is, In fact, of that nature which Professor Smith ad vocates. has doubtless been taught by the exigencies of his,situation, where bis vblce la required to carry across broad and deep ravines. Nature has taught tbe same less n In tbe Austi 1 :!- Ilnn wilds, where the characteristic “Cowl, cowl!" appears essential to pen etrate the deep woods.
