up his overcoat on the hall hat-laCk, and

that he recognized at once as belonging

NEW observations have been mads by
Mr.. Dejean de Fnnrogue on the behavior
Of a pendulum free to move In any direc-
ton, and set swinging with great am
plitude. He finds that the plane of os-
cillation tends rapidly to tale particu-
lar direction, which in his opinion is
simply the horizontal projection of the
trajectory of the eaath; that is to say OF
the resultant Of the two great movements
of translation to which the earth is sub
ject, toward the constellation of Hercules
and round tire sun. The direction of the
pendulum changes in course of the day
by reason of the diurnal, though the ira
jectory does not sensibly vary in direc-
ton in course of the day. M. Cornu,
while not agreeing with the author as to
the cause of the movements observed,
cpmmends the phenomena to the study Of
physicists.
