o, why have you come from the West
And she told how the leaves OF the forest were

BY the feet of the angels who brought her the
Ola land where the weary may rest.
She said she was tired and faint,
And her heart was all covered with snow

DELICATE mEAsumEMENrs.

We often read OF delicate admeasurng, so
minute as to be surprising, and the question at
once presents itself, by what means such extra
ordinary precision can be sustained as will for
instance, give US the hundredth part of a second
On this subject we find some curious methods
and apparatus described IN an important profess
siOual work, entitled "Traite des Mecanismes, A"
by Nj, llatOn de Ia GOupilliere. The description
is substantially as follows
Suppose it were required TO measure the exact
time OF the descent Of the hammer OF gun-loclI
on the nipple; the motion Is so rapid that the
most delicate stOp-watch is nc fault A needle
might be fixed 20 the hammer, So as in descend
ing 90 mark q curve on a blaCkeucd metal
plalc but still the time would be an unknown
quantity. lt may, however, be measured by
means Of tuning fork, also provided with a
marking needle; then while the former one
marks the curve described by the hammer, tue
second needle will mark the vibrations of the
ioIki and as We know that they are isochro-
nous, each Of the small sIuositics thus obtained
ON the blackened plate viii represent fraction
of time, and show how many such fractions
elapsed before the lall Of the hammer. To give
an idea of the degree of precision which may be
attained By tAs process, let Us suppose the normal
French tunug-iorE which VIII perform S9j
vibrations in q seconds then the duration of each
