Attach the other extremity of the thread to
the head of a pin inserted in q cork and
support the latter by means of three forks,
the handles of which rest upon the edge of
a plate Now cause the pedulum to swing
after so regulating the length of the thread
that the. lower point of the match shall
come very near the bottom of the plate and
mark its passage in two small circular piles
of powdered sugar, designed to represent
the circle of sand that Foucault arranged
upon the ground alb around his pendulum.
The plate represents the earth. As long
as it remains stationary, the match, at
every oscillation, will pass exactly through
the furrow that it has made in the two
piles of sugar.
II, in order to represent the rotary mo-
tion of the earth, we gently revolve the
plate, and consequently the forks and cork,
We find that that has no influence upon
the pendulum, which continues to oscil-
late in the same plane as before, and we
have proofof this in sseing the match
at every oscillation make q small turrow
distinct from the preceding
We can thus demonstrate in simple
and practical manner the principle of the
invariabilitv of the plane of oscillation of
the pendulum, upon which was based the
celebrated experiment of the French
scientist. ,..

Portions of the Old Testament on Papyrus
on View in London.
London, Eng, Times.l
Acurious document was sub bmi ted to the
Congress of Orientalsts assem- lied in Lon
don recently. 1t is papyrus manuscript
discovered few months ago in Egypt, and
is supposed by some authorities to be the
oldest copy extant of portions of the Old
Testament book of Zachariah and Malachi.
These pages Of papyrus, when intact,
were about 10 inches high and Z inches
wide, each containing % lines of writing,
both sides of the sheet being used. The
com plete line contains from IA to II letters.
The sheets are bound together in the form
OF book in a primitive, though careful
manner, with cord and strips of old parch-
ment The Greek of this document is writ
ten without intervals between the words,
custom observed both in old Greek and old
Hebrew manuscripts. The papyrus is in
tair preservation, and is believed to date
from the third or fourth century. 1t thus
ranks in age with the oldest Greek manu-
scripts Of the Septuagint version of the Old
Testament IN London, Rome and st. Peters
burg =
1t has been shown to several of the UNI
versity professors in Vienna, who consider
it to be genuine. III. British chaplain, a
distinguished OrientalSt, gave an account
Of it at the Congress. The differences in
this papyrus tend 10 the conclusion that it
was copied for some excellent original OF
the Septuagint Bible, which was first trans
lated about the year $50 B. c., for the use
of the Hellenistic Hebrews in Egypt, who,
having gradually forgotten the Hebrew
tongue, had learned to speak Greek.
The first summary examination has shown
that it has several new readings which sur
pass some of the other Septusgint texts in
clearness of expression and simplicity of

A Maori whose request for blankets had

missionary, exclaimed: "Kapai (good); no
more blankets, no more hallelujahs," and

way, was the plea Of Maori in litigation
