CENTER OF PRESSURE.
II Must Be Carefully Regulated or n Fa
win BE the Result


The instinct which all animals seem to
possess in bringing the line OF direction OF
the center Of pressure within the base Is
admirable. 1t is this instinct which rem
ders the wild goat and chamois so fearless
Of danger in the terrific leaps they make
among Alpine precipIces, and which en-
ables u cat always 10 alight on Its feet In
falling from heights that appear sufficient
10 render a fall fatal.
Now, the operations OF instinct, though In
many points Of view not little miraculous,
are always regulated by some ingenious
principle, when that can be discovered; and
In the instance Of the cat always falling on
her feet, It appears that the same principle
operates which enables us TO walk upright
by regulating our center OF pressure, at
tending TO the things around u.s.
In learning TO walk, we Judge the dis
tances Of objects which we approach by the
eye, and by observing their perpendicu-
larity we determine our own. Hence 1t is
that no one who is blindfolded can walk In
q straight line for O hundred steps TO-
gether; and for the same reason most
people become dizzy when they look from
the summit Of O tower or battlement much
raised above the object, in the sphere OF
distinct vision. A whirling wheel, or the
current Of O rapid river, or the apparent
motion Of the sea on looking over the side
Of fast-sailing ship, have often similar
effect.
When achild can first stand erect on its
legs, II you give his attention TO white
handkerchief extended like sail, he will
stand firm; but the instant you move 1t he
will tumble down. IL is for this reason that
rope-dancers, who have very narrow base
upon which to maintain the line Of direction
perpendicular, keep their eyes fixed upon q
point Of the framework upholding the rope,
by which 10 regulate their center OF press
ure; and for the same reason, those who
perform difficult feats Of balancing keep
their eyes fixed on the top OF the things
balanced 10 retain the line Of direction
within the base. IL may be accordingly In
ferred that the reason why man loses his
balance when tipsy is that his eyes roll 80
unsteadily as TO prevent him regulating his
balance by the things around him, while tho
muscular feelings that assist him when
hoodwinked are also deranged. 1t would
be curious To ascertain whether cat, II rem
dered Cpsy, would fall equally on her feet
when dropped from height as q sober cat.
There Is no doubt that II is 10y fixing the eye
on the things around that cat falling from
height regulates her center Of pressure so
as TO fall on her feet She Is, however,
aided in this by the form OF her body, some
what the reverse Of that Of a greyhound,
the center OF pressure lying far back from
the head, and, consequently, bringing down

WOULDN'T KISS THE BIBLE.
A New York Clergyman Creates . Sensa-

ton at Registration Place.
New York Special.
The Rev. Madison C. Peters, the young
pastor of the BloOmingdale Reformed
church, at Broadway and West Sixty
eighth street, is clergyman who believes
that it is the duty of every citizen to cast q
vote in city and state elections. He OBJ
iects, however, to the mode of procedure of
the registry board, and yesterday created
a scene at the polling place in his election
district by refusing to take the oath and
swear as TO his citizenship and place of
residence.
The Rev. Mr.. Peters lives in the Nine
teenth Assembly district. and the polling
place of his election is in the rear OF sta
tionery and candy store at No. 1877 West
ern Boulevard. 1t was presided over yes
terday by T. Z. Senior, chairman OF the
board of registration. There was the usual
number of inspectors in attendance and
hey were seated around table when Mr..
Peters came in to register.
Chairman Senior was at one time sexton
of the Bloomingdale church, butts not now
on the best of terms with its pastor. Posi-
bly, it was on this account that he asked
the Rev. Mr.. Peters to take the oath.
II refuse to take any oath, replied the
clergyman, vehementIy, land particularly
any oath that such as you may administer"
The inspectors looked up from their books
in wonder.
.Then cannot register you" replied the
chairman.
Cannot register me?n stormed Mr..
Peters. "You all know who / am. A
pretty set of loafers You men are, to ques-
ton my right to register and to insist that

bacco-lipped mouths have smeared."
He then lett the store, but an hour later
he called again.

After little hesitation the chairman and
his assistants decided to enter the clergy
