as Mr.. FlSke afnrmS, that the fOunda-
tions of Christian theology have not
been shaken-no one needs to be dog
matte on that point-b1t as theology is
o matter of revelation and science a
matter of observation, it is well to keep
the two as separate as possible. The
method of sciehce is gradual method; !;
little by little we widen the circle OF
our knowledge; little by little we i'm
prove our hvpotheses. Theology makes
from the first the most comprehensive
statements, and offers solutions of the
profounde>t problems. To apply, there
fore, the dicta or the general concep-
tions of theology to the province of
science is to run much risk of injuring
the work of science by the forcing of
premature conclusions; admitting that
theology has nothing to teach that is
positively erroneous. That loyalty to
truth SO tittinSly ieferrel to by the
author requires us to content ourselves
with such conclusions as we can reach
by lawful and appropriate methods. II
we sec law of natural se.ections at
w ra let us try to get as clear an un-
terst,,,ing as possible of the mayner
ot its wor.in-; but let us b. very care
fnl low we ersollify it, and how we
impute to or persontication feelings
and purpose which correspond with
nothing III IT,, cts as we know them.
Nothing coulu be more opposed to the
human idea of "work" than the proc
ess Of natural selection as described
by our author himself, yet he constant
ly speaks of the work" of natural
selection. He tells us that sin the des-
perate struggle for existence no pecul-
iarity has been too insignificant for
natural selection to seize and enhance;"
just as if natural selection were some
vigilant intelligence watching for OPP
portunities to advance its designs. The
same fact which is thus expressed in,
as I think, misleadingly metaphorical
language could have been expressed in
honest prose by saying that "in the
desperate struggle for existence no Pc
cullarity was too insignificant to con-
tribute to survival or destruction as
the case might be-" There we have
the fact without any illegitimate impli-
cations; and it is thus, as it strikes me,
that scientific facts should be described.

THIBODAUX, LA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER g.
F0ucault's Experiment,

This famous experiment was made by
NJ. Foucault, French scientist. to yis-
IDLY demonstrate the rotation of the
earth on its axis, as follows: One end
OF fine steel wire was firmly fastened
TO the under surface of high ceiling:
on the lower end of the wire heavy
copper ball was hung, which carried
below it steel pointer. This pendu-
lum swung over place so followed out
that the pointer would move Just over
its surface; about the edge of the hol-
low was laid ridge of fine sand, which
the pointer would pass through at every
vibration. In order that the pendulum
might not be moved by any other i'm
pulse than the simple attraction of the
earth, it was drawn aside from its YER
tical position and tied by thread; and
when it was perfectly still the thread
was burned OIL, and the ball began to
oscillate. AS the po nter passed through
the ridges Of sand it was seen that at
each vibration it crossed little to the
right, looking from the center of the
place where it crossed before. Now,
the theory OF the experiment is this
When the pendulum begins to swing,
drawn by the earth's attraction only, it
must necessarily move III plane con-
tanning three points point Of sus-
pension, the point from which it start
ed, and the center of the earth. It can
not of itself leave this plane of vibra-
ton, and there is no force without to
cause it to turn aside; it must, there
fore, go on therein, to the end of the
vibration. The next vibration begins
In the same plane and ends in it, and
so with each subsequent vibration. The
point to which the pendulum is sus-
pended has, Of course, the motion of
the earth at the place where the exper-
iment is performed; but as the wire is
fastened so that no rotary or twisting
motion can be impaired to it, the for
ward motion of the point of suspen-
sion only carries the plane of vibration
forward without twisting it to the right
or left. The ball, therefore, does not
move toward the right; its apparent
motion makes visible the actual motion
of the earth beneath it toward the left :;
that is, toward the east. Theoretically,
as the pendulum is moved by the at
traction of the earth only. persistent
force, its vibration would be perpetual.
But, practically, the friction of the at
mosphere retards and after time over
comes its motion. This experiment has
been performed in the Pantheon at
Paris, in the Bunker Hill monument
near Boston, and in the Exposition
Building at Chicago, and at several
other important places in this country
and Europe.-Inter Ocean.
