If the tuning fork be a Koenig C^ fork, which makes 256 full vibrations in one second, then there will be 256 sound waves in one second of a length of 1095/256 or 4.23 feet, so that at the end of a second of time from the commencement of the vibration, the foremost wave would have reached a distance of 1,095 feet, at 0°C.
If the first inch allows only one quarter of the light, the next will only allow one sixteenth, and the fourth inch will only permit 1/256 part to pass. Let us, however, take a red patch of light and examine it in the same way.

The .256 Mannlichers are splendid for long range shooting, as they carry a small bore bullet and have enormous penetrating power. The presumption, therefore, was that we should first shoot the lion at long range with the .256, then at a shorter range with the nine-millimeter, then at close range with the .475 cordite, and then perhaps fervently wish that we had the paradox or a balloon.
I think they came back about three o'clock. I'll find out for you." He rang the bell, to which a colored boy responded. "Front," said the clerk, "see if young Mr. Delamere's upstairs. Look in 255 or 256, and let me know at once." The bell-boy returned in a moment. "Yas, suh," he reported, with a suppressed grin, "he's in 256, suh. De do' was open, an' I seed 'im from de hall, suh."

It was the largest one of the eleven killed in our hunting trip, and was killed with a little .256 Mannlicher, the same weapon with which she shot her record elephant on Mount Kenia. In the tall-grass method, native beaters are sent in long skirmish line through swamps and such places as lions like to lay up in during the hours of daylight.
My big-gun ammunition was gone, so I fired with my .256. No result! The distance was too great and our bombardment was fruitless. The black-maned lion was in a bad humor and repeatedly turned as if intent to stop and defend his outraged dignity. In a few moments the three lions disappeared in the tall grass that fringed a big reed bed many acres in extent.
The discerning reader will find the crown and best achievement of all his varied work in the seven volumes of essays which he has published.
