CELESTIAL INFLUENcEs.-Some years ago,
when experiments were made with the PEN
dulum at Bunker Hill Monument, Massachu-
sets, it was incidentally found by Professor
Horsford that every morning the plumb-line
suspended from the centre of the top to the
floor, indicated an inclination to the west,
every noon towards the north, and in the
afternoon to the east. These movements
were found the most marked when the sun
shone, and thus due to the expansion of
one side of the structure by the heat of its
rays. 1t was lately tried what is the amount
of this influence on the Capitol dome in
Washington, which is of iron, q substance
which, as is well known, expands more than
stone. A long plumb-line was fastened to
the under side of the ceiling of the rotunda,
and extended to the stone pavement below.
The plummet described daily an elliptical
curve, of which the longest diameter was
from east to west, and amounted in hot,
sunny days to four or five inches. Professor
Henry, of the Smithsonian Institution, re-
marks in regard to this :-"By molecular
action of this kind, perpetually continued,
time, the slow but sure destroyer, levels with
the ground the loftiest monuments of human
pride"
