A glass bar set vibrating Igngthwise --?by a sound will smash to pieces if the sound rise to a high enough key-that is, if the number of vibrations becomes great entough. And the hardest metals, such as Iron and steel, will break like glass under the rhythmic shock of oft repeated feeble blows. For this rea son when regiments march across a nietal bridge they are always ordered to break stel), in order that the impnet of their feet may not set up rhythmile vibrations in the structure.
