THE QUIETEST PLACE.
The quietest place In the world is
not to be found in the isolated des
ert, in the islands of the ocean, nor
at the summit of a lofty mountain;
but, curiously enough, in a town in
the Netherlands not very distant
from the present war zone. This
quiet place is a room in Utrecht, de

WEDNESDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH JANUARY 5. 1016.
I built especially to avoid all vibra-
Ition. Professor Zwaardenmaker, a
well-known Dutch physicist and phys-
I iologist, had it built. An attempt to
| construct a noise-proof room had
5 been made once before by Professor
j Wandt in Leipzig, but that was not
! entirely successful. The means that
j Professor Zwaardenmaker used are
! worthy to be recorded. In the first
i place he built three rooms, one inside
\of another; then, since a vacuum is
l a poor conductor of sound, he pro
| vlded facilities for reducing the quan
' tity of air between the walls. The
interior walls of the rooms were cov
lered with several layers of material;
I one layer was of stone blocks, treated
l in a special process. The cavities be-
I tween the stones were filled with
| horsehair; next to the stones were
I placed layers of wood and cork. The
j other coverings were layers of lead
j plate, seagrass, and paper. The
| walls were further lined with tapes-
Itry, to absorb the internal sounds.
■ Not the slightest sound can pene
trate to the innermost chamber. In
I that room there rules absolute si-
I lence, a silence that can be found in
Ino other known place on iarth. And
j a few miles away is war.
L\X AMI'HIUIIOUS BATTLEGROUND
| The northern part of Babylonia is
I generally dry during the greater part
of tlie year. The lower part, near the
i junction of the rivers, is generally a
J great malarial swamp overgrown with
i reeds. In the Springtime one may I
sail almost anywhere across ine coun
try from the Tigris to the Euphrates,
and In the dry season great herds of
camels, buffaloes, donkeys, sheep and
goats graze over the same place. This
explains why the war reports describe
two battles between the British and
the Turks, one a naval battle, the
other a land battle, and both fought
lin precisely the same place. One was
when the waters overflowed the val
ley; the other when the land was dry.
But even In the dryest of seasons!
there are great marshes in lower
Mesopotamia, and the British soldier
who spends a season among them,
will probably burn and shiver the re
mainder of his life away with malaria.
