Il gsasla asa!ass fptsgsT, s,,a, Il sha sAeasaNs
we've stationary, IN The sauis p'assc, Ii s'e wliAn
apparatus is put in motion, the vibrating pendulum
still obeys the great law of ine,ha, and, although
it is drawn by the thread from its first plane of
oscillation, it will continue TO oscilate as nearly
possible in its original direction, that is in planes
parallel to the first; there being nothing to oppose
its uniformity but the rigidty of the thread or
wire. The line of a pendulum at rest, over any
point of the earth's surface between the pole and
the equator, describes, in twenty-four hours, the
section of great cone with its apex at the earths
centre. If the pendulum is made to oscate,
during the same period, its law of paralleism
causes it to cut that cone at slightly different an
gle at every successive swing. The centre of
circular diagram, placed directly beneath the PEN
dulum, would, like the point of suspension, move
i'll the imaginary cone, and an East and West d.
ameter would be the line of intersection of the
cone with the diagram. This diameter, then, must
be crossed by the pendulum at different angles
until when the earth has completed revolution,
the plane of vibration has passed through $50 de-
grees around the centre of the diagram.
The chief difficulty with the Examiner, and
others who discredit M. Foucat's experiment.
seems to be the idea that by the attachment of the
pendulum to point of suspension which moves
in common with the earth, it must partake alto
gether of the earth's motion. So it would, if the
thread or wire were perfectly rigid, or incapable
of twisting, and of swinging in more than one
direction. But M. Foucat demands wire which
shall be flexible as possible and as It has to 90
through only one twist, or force the ball to turn
once in the course of "a hours, in order to allow
the ball to follow the direction acquired from its
original impetus, the resistance is nappreciable.
But we have been beguiled into saying much
more on this subject than we designed. Our pur-
pose was merely to direct attention to M. Foucalts
lucid explanation of the principles of his expert
ment. We have not yet seen the second instalmeat
of his paper, in which he describes his apparatus.
The many accounts that have been received of its
beautiful operation would leave no doubt of the
reality of the demonstration; if we had not already
ample verification in our own country. The re-
petition of the experiment by Mr.. Bond, the dis.
tlnguished astronomer of the Cambridge Obser-
vatory. must satisfy the most incredulous

There's sorrow when the frantic winds
In dismal chorus sound!
There's sorrow on the sea, boys,
When tempests whistle by,
And troubled waters rage a-lea,
And thunders peal on high.
There's sorrow on the sea, boys,
When gallant tars are slain,
Yet, falling in their country's cause,
A crown of glory gain;
There's sorrow when q shipmate dies
Far from his native land;
There's sorrow when the plying crew
Around his hammock stand.
There's sorrow on the sea, boys,
When famine marks our days,
When every messmate's famished look
The cannibal betrays.
There's sorrow on the sea, boys,
Yet landsmen have their care,
Go whittier you may please, boys,
And sorrow will be there.
There's sorrow on the sea, boys,
But that shall shortly cease,
And we port shall find, boys,
Where reigns eternal peace;
There ever more shall we, boys,

No short allowance there, boys,
But every want supplied.
And there shall we enjoy, boys,
