The Mechanical Force of Light.

At recent meeting Of the Royal Soci-
ETY. in London, Prof Crookes exhibited an
apparatus, consisting of a bar of pth sus-
pended by a fibre of silk in bulb at the
bottom of a tube exhausted of air A
lighted candle placed near TIE outside of
the bu'b at once caused this bar to revolve
with velocity proportioned to the intensity
OF the light. Among the scientific gentle
men present were physicists of such dis
tlnctlon as Professors Stokes, Huxley.
Carpenter. and others. Their first crit
clsm was that the radiant heat of the can
die might be the motive power. To meet
this, Mr.. Crookes produced another instru
ment, consisting of a tube and bulb like
the former, within which was a tiny con-
trivance like a boys wind mill, consisting
OF four small disks of pith blackened on
one side. mounted on cross pieces of straw,
and delicately balanced on point Be
tween the candle and, he bulb was placed

the light, from whiclscl heat had thus

But one more test was suggested bv the

1t seemed possible that motion of the pith

Of latent moisture in them. This objection
also Mr.. CrOokcs was prepared to satisfy.
Tie exhibited 4 bulb containing platinum
vanes suspended by 4 thread of the same
metal which had been heated to redness
while in the vacuum. Latent moisture
