How to prove that the Earth Moves,

It has puzzled the heads of a good
many youngsters to know how the earth
turns round A German educational
journal published in Frankfort gives the
following directions for proving that the
earth "does move::" Take good sized
bowl, fill it nearly full of water, and
place in a room which is not exposed to
shaking orjariDg from the street. Sprinkle
over the surface of the water coating of
lycopodium powders white substance
which is sometimes used for toilet, and
which can be obtained from any apothe.
cary's. Then upon the surface of this
coating of powder make, with powdered
charcoal, straight black line, say an
inch or two in length. Having made
this little black mark with the charcoal
powder on the surface of the contents of
the bowl, lay down upon the floor close
to the bowl, stick or some other object
60 that it will be exactly parallel With
the mark II the line happens to be
parallel With q crack or with any station.
ary object in the room this will do as
we'll.
"Leave The bowl undisturbed for few
hours and then observe the position of
the black mark with reference to the
object that it was parallel With. 1t will
be found to have moved about and to
have moved from east to west-that is to
say in the direction opposite to that of
the earth on it's axis. The earth in sim.
ply revolving has carried the water and
everything else in the bowl around with
it, but the powder or the surface has
been left behind little. The line will
always be found to have moved from east
to west, which is perfectly good proof
that everything has moved the other
way.

ssWALTZING INTO HE'LL. y
Rev. John L. scudder ON "Amusements and
the Church,
Ne,0 York Herald.

NeaO York Herald.
The Jersey City Tabernacle was filled
to its full capacity last evening by those
who came to hear the third lecture in the
course delivered by the pastor, Rev. John
T.. Scudder, on "Amusements and the
Church." The previous discourses we're
on card playing and that of last evening
was devoted to the subject of dancing.
DR.. Scudder took for his text that part
of the parable of the prodigal son where
the elder brother approaehes. Sand as
he came and drew nigh unto the house
he heard music and dancings He said !:
"To.nightwe are to consider the second
of the so.called questionable amusements.
Our subject is dancing, subject that has
interested the human race in all genera.
tions. In my last lecture on card playing
I felt I was speaking more especially to
young men. Not so with dancing-al-
though men engage In this diversion
together with the women, they are not so
infatuated with it as the gentler sex. If
ne may classify amusements according to
sex we should be inclined to say that
dancing partakes of the feminine gender.
Men tire of it much sooner than women
and multitudes come at length to feel,
like the 'Chinaman who, on seeing q
company of perspiring dancers, innocent
tly asked how much they we're paid for
the work.
wodAN's LOVE FOR DANCING.
'tWhoever saw two men Waiting to.
gether in the psrlors of a summer hotel !?
But | have seen young women dancing
together by the hour, for the mere love
of it, dancing where there were no men
to dance with them, and when there was
scarcely soul to look on and admire
And there is a manifest reason for this.
Man, is rough, burly creature, who
takes his delights in ruder sports. He
takes more interest in horse race than
"a quadrille. He would rather steer a
boat through q strong sea than guide his
partner over polished floor. He may
be won by pair of beseechipg eyes or
ruby lips to join in the dance, but after
all he regards it as efeminate, and does
it to please the ladies. This is the way
most men feel about dancing. It is
otherwise with the women. In their
judgment dancing is delectable, and
increasingly delectable in proportions to
the interest taken in it by the men. The
grace and poetry Of motion appeal to
their finer sensibilities +; they are more
deeply stirred by strains of music, and
are inspired to convert rhythmical sounds
into rhythmical action. The very fine.
ness of their sympathy leads them to
dance. Z;

DANCING AS "A JOYFUL EXPRESSION.
"Our text introduces us to an ancient
Jewish household, wherein is much hill
arity. Strains Of music greet our ears,
and as we look in upon the festive throng
ne notice mirthful dancers fitting hither
and thither. It is indeed q beautiful
home.like picture which our Savior gives
of the prodfgal's return. The good
spirits of.the family we're such as to com.
pei bodily manifestation, and this L
regard as the origin. of all dancing the
world over. There is q psychological
basis for this amusement, lis the natural
outflow of q happy, exhiiarated state of
mind. 1t is, in its inception, the limo
cent expression of mirth. You watch a
company of careless, happy children
going home from school,, and you will
notice that instead of walking they go
skipping along. It's really a form of
dance. It's the physical sign of mental
freedom aud innocence. Every organ
grinder gathers the children, who keep
time in a highly original style of dance.
The colored race is equally noted for
their love of dancing.
Look where You will in this world
and you will find dancing of some sort.
The word in Hebrew for dance means
leap for joy The lame man who was
cured in the temple began to dance aud
praise the Lord, and he had good reason
to, for it was the first time in forty years
that he had had the use of his legs"

The speaker touched upon the germ
ofhis discourse by asking: lis it right
to dance 2"
Scripture says, Let the children of
Zion be joyfulin their king, let them
praise his name in the dance.' Therefore
if your dancing is such that you can
glorify God in its performance then
dance. But if it tends to scandalize the
Lord you should give it up. If you
con6ne your dancing to respectable per-
SONS, respectable places and respectable
methods, and maintain your self respect
and purity of heart, then I can see no
objection. tits the abuses of dancing
which isthe danger, and dthereis a mighty
divergence of opinion on the question.
Some say all dancing is sin, they dispose
oft by one bold stroke. They divide
the community into two classes-one is
walking toward heaven, the other is
Waiting into hell, but they are in the
minority. In this age such heroic treat.
ment will not work
.There is q great and growing class
of Christians who regard such questions
inthel light of common sense and acknowl-
edge that dancing 10 itselfis not wicked
any more than riding or driving. The
Church cannot lay down laws on the
subject. It is time the barrier was taken
down. In Congregational and Presbyte.
rian churches it has been pulled out Of
the way long ago and it is growing
smaller in the Methodist and Baptist
church. If we excommunicated those
who dance we would lose the larger part
of our congregations.

pose is enough. To many it is dance

speaker described the manner and method
of fashionable dancing. He claimed
that the liberties allowed constitute one
of the causes of vice and crime. The
chief of the New York police had stated
that three. .fourths of the abandoned
women had been led astray by dancing.
pRoM1sCUoUs DANCING DANGEROUS.
"Dancing to be pure should be confined
to the home circle, and not public balls.
Dancing of women with men they never
saw before is bad business. Behind the
diamond studded shirt front may be q
moral leper. Some young fellows who
belong to the elite might better be char
acterized as belonging to the .lelite. 1t
makes difference whether you dance

brute. You find both classes in society,
and sometimes it is difficult to tell which
is which. Women who accept strangers
as partners ard summit their persons to
close embrace run risk that is danger
oue, and their modestry is in danger.
No young woman, no married woman
should suffer her waist to be clasped by
the arms of a man she never saw before.
Their partners ought to be known 10
them, so that the characters of the men
were known to be pure and respectable.
/ would not permit daughter OF mine
to enter public ballroom or engage in
promiscuous dancing with unknown men.
They are unfit scenes for innocent NO
men, and no pure minded woman should
so to such places.

The speaker claimed that dancing as
an innocent amusement was not immoral
and the Church could approve of it
when rightly conducted. He was in
favor oft aB such, for it could do no
