Many wonderful echoes are known, but the one which takes the first place seems to be that of the old palace of Simonetta, near Milan, which forms the three sides of a quadrangle. The report of a pistol is said to be repeated by this echo sixty times, and Addison, who visited the place on a somewhat foggy day, when the air was unfavorable, counted fifty-six repetitions. At first they were quick, but the intervals were greater in proportion as the sound decayed. The echo at the Eagle's Nest on the banks of Killarney is renowned for its repetition of a bugle call, which seems to be repeated by a hundred instruments, until it gradually dies away in the air. At the report of a cannon the loudest thunders reverberate from the rock and die in seemingly endless peals along the distant mountains.—New York Telegram.
