cords within the price box these are usually longer and thicker in men than in
women. But animals with voices cure not the only ones ! that produce sounds.
Insects like crickets and grasshoppers produce their endless chirp by rubbing
one wing against another.

all. What we hear is a stream of airwaves vibrating at the rate of about fifty per
second to twenty-three thousand per second. When a top is spinning very fast,
we do not hear it, as it slows down, we catch the hum of it, and then again we
stop hearing it just before it falls. A dog's ears pick up vibrations of greater
frequencies.

’ Many people know that instead of soap, Gandhiji used a stone to scrub
himself. Very few people, however, know how precious this stone, given by
Mirabel, was to Gandhiji. This happened during the Noakhali march when
Gandhiji and others halted at a village called Narayanpur. During the march, the
responsibility of looking after this particular stone, along with other things, lay
with Manuben. Unfortunately, though, she forgot the stone at the last halting-
place.
“I want you to go back and look for the stone,” said Bapu. “Only then will
you not forget it the next time.” “May I take a volunteer with me?” “Why?” Poor
Manu. She did not have the courage to say that the way back lay through forests
of coconut and supari, (betel nut), so dense that a stranger might easily lose his
way. Moreover, it was the time of riots. How could she go back alone ?
But she did go, and alone; after all she had committed the error. Leaving
Narayanpur at 9.30 in the morning. Manu trudged along the forest path, taking
the name of Ram as she went. On reaching the village she went straight to the
weaver's house that had been their last? halt. An old woman lived there. And she
had thrown the stone away. When Manuben found it after a difficult search her
joy knew no bounds.

With no life heard beyond that merry sound Of moths that on my lighted
