A SWISS FOREsr DISAPPEARS.

An occurrence, which may be partially or
wholly attributable to the rude shalxings which
Switzerland has recently undergone, Is reported
from Quarter, III the canton OF ST. Gall. A
short time ago the people IN the neighb0rhood
noticed signs of uneasiness about the Seine bel
berg The summit of the mountain appeared to
be In a precariOus position. and it was feared
thar it might slip down and Overwhelm the
Schnebewad an extensive W Od in the valley
below. In anticipation OF possible catastrophe,
great efforts were made 10 cut down and carry
away as many trees as possible, though the men
engaged in the work wrought at the peril Of
their lives few days ago, when fortunately
there was nobody in the wood, a deafenng
report, like the firing of heavy artillery, re-
sounded through the valley, and the mountain
WINS hidden from view by a thick cloud OF
dust. When 1t dispersed, the Schnebelberg
was seen TO be shorter by few metres, and the
beautiful wood in the Murgthal had disappeared
beneath a huge avalanche of stones and earth.

RECORDING FOUCAULTS PEND CLUM
EXPERIMENT.

Mr. Charles r. Cross, O. the Massachusetts, In
stitute Of Technology, Boston, describes IN
Nature a simple method Of obtaining perna-
nent record of FOuclult's well known pendulum
experiment. The pendulum used was sixteen
feet long, and consisted of a cannon ball weigh
ing about five pounds, suspended by fine steel
wIe which n lis upper end passed through
hole Drilled in an iron plug. The pendulum
would continue 10 vbrate for sixteen CT eighteen
hours after being set in motion. Amer OBJ
tanning satisfactory results by using ing or
sand IN the ordinary manner very SUN
bIlstle was attached 10 the terminal spindle
and under II was placed thin smoked glass
plate The resistance was 700 great to allow
the bristlp 10 strike against the plate at each
vibration of the pendulum, 50 that the device
was adopted of fixing the plate upon q heavy
brass disc capable of being raised or lowered
bv leVelng-scgews. TINS was placed under
the uenduum before the latter was set IN
vibration. and then carefully raised I'LL the
briStle scratched its trace on the smoked glass
plate. After two or three oscillations eft the
pendulum the plate was lowered. great care o.
course being taken to avoid all possibility OF
rotation during this operation. At the eXpra-
ton Of fifteen. thirty, or sixty minutes 1t was
again raised. and this process was repeated as
often rs desired. The inclination OF the tlac-
ings was beautifully shown, and its amount
agreed exceedingly well with that gwen by
theory. With a heavier ball and longer wire
even better results might nave been obtained,
but the motion of the pendulum used was but
very slightly lnterfeIed with by the friction OF
the br,stle,

At a recent meeting of the Royal Dub

other surfaces with brilliant and strongly
adherent layer Of galene. The plating Of tube
OF brass. aSd another Of glass, was effected al
the meeting by simple immersion IN solution
which speedily deposited a beauthG mirror

assumed its final polish by friction with wash

without giving way. The color of the deposit
is darkel than pure silver. but brighter than

Celluloid il one of the most remarkable
OF modern inventions, and bids fair to
be not less extensively or variously used
than vulcanized rubber. 1t is produced by
mixing gum camphor with pulp Of gun
cotton and subjecting the combination to .
high degree of pressure and heat. The re-
suit is a hard product Of extraordinary
toughness and elasticity. 1t can be made
plastic again and nodded into any required
shape. Any color can be given to it by the
use OF coloring matter during the process OF
manufacture. The uses to which celluloid
ara put are numerous, and are constantly
increasing. It is extensively used as
substitute for ivory, which 1t resembles 90
closely that 1t is sometimes dificalt to de-
tect the differences. IL ID said to equal
ivory In strength and elasticity, and not to
warp or discolor with time. Il has proved
a good material for piano and organ keys,
billiard balls, backs Of brushes, looking
glass frames, handles for knives, forks,
umbrellas and many other articles. 1t II
much cheaper than ivory and Is claimed e
be better for decorative purposes. II
also used with much success to initiate tor
toise shell, malachite amber, pink coral anf
other costly material. In imitation OF tor
toise shell 1t is made into combs napkii
