THE SINGING VALLEY

WHENCE THE SONG? OUKIOUS NATURAL PHENOM ENON. Berlin, Oct. 10. Scientists are oeoapying themselves with a curious natural phenomenon in the Hunaruck, a chain of hill* on the right bauk of the Moselle. Near the village of Thronecken, west of Treves, is a deep valley popularity known as ‘ * the Singing Valley. ” Approaching, one hears sounds coming nearer that recall the distant gentle pealing of church boils. The sounds grow in intensity and gradually die away, only to be continually repeated. No explanation has yet been found for the phenomena, and the Krst theory of the cause 'is now advanced by several physicists who have been studying it on the spot. The scientists are of opinion that what is called the “mystery’' of the Singing Valley is due to waterfall tones, as it is a well-known fact that sounds produced by water falling down in great masses from a cousidable height have, in certain atmospheric conditions, a musical tone. “The Singing Valley,” however contains no waterfalls, but a current rushes down with considerable force over high rocks. The physicists believe that the sound waves produced are broken against the hillsides of the valley' and are re echoed back to the outlet, which thus causes their rnesical intonation. No explanation is offered by the physicists, however, for the rise and fall of the tones.
