The name of "pallograph" has been
given to newly invented German appa
ratus founded on the principle of so hang
ing a weight that, in consequence Of ii
inertia, it takes no part, in given direc
tion, in the tremblings and oscillations O
the point to which 1t Is suspended. In
series of experiments with this device
made on board a twin screw vessel of th
German navy, it appears that the vertica
vibrations always attained their maxi
mum when the horizontal were at thei
smallest, and vice versa. This phenome
non was peculiar to twin screw vessel
only and is explained by the difference II
the number of the revolutions OF the twt
engines and the reaction of the masses o
the moving parts.
The horizontal direction was exactly thl
reverse, and the action of the masses o
the heaviest moving parts OF the engines
the connecting rods and cranks-neutral
ized each other because they were OF equa
size and acted In opposite directions. Tn
older passenger steamers had much smal1e
dimensions, and the engines, as u wei
known, ran at much smaller speeds thai
those of today. The smaller the lengtl
of the ship, the greater the number pc
unit of time OF its vibrations. With th
increase of dimensions the period OF tn
vibrations become steadily longer, Will
the necessarily greater engine power whfcl
was requisite compelled the increase q
the number of revolutions.--New Yoel

Bertrand nodded assent. He was too
frightened to speak. He seemed to feel
the cord round his neck, while the notes,
which were concealed in the back of his
coat, seemed to rustic every time he
moved. Casting frightened glances round
him, he followed his companion, who,
with his usual swagger and an air Of
great assurance, approached NJ. Dumont,
and said with characteristic impudence
that before leaving his hospitable house,
he was anxious to assure him of the high
esteem in which he held him; that no
had done an act worthy of the highest
praise, and which made him, Remond,
sensible of his own shortcomings, etc.
During this TRADE one of the gen.
darmes had brought a paper to the brig
adler which seemed from his expression
as ho read it to contain information of
Importance.
Remond, whose back was turned
toward the officer, had made M. Dumont
a sweeping salutation, uttered a patron
izing bon jour, friend Pierre!' and
now had his hand ON the handle of tho
door, closely followed by Bertrand. when
the order rang out in clear. decisive
tones:

Tho gendarmes all crowded into the
room, and in less time than it takes to
tell Remond and his companion found
themselves face to face with tho bripa-
dier, couple Of sturdy fellows on either
side.
"What does this meany" said Remond
in clustering, bullying tone. "By what
right do you thus interfere with and
detain two inoffcnsivo travellers We
demand to bo released at once. This
delay Is most inconvenient to u.s."
You'll know what it means very
quickly" said the brigadior, land you

Every one present was astoundcd at
the new turn affairs had taken and
formed an eagerv circle around tho
brigadier and tho strangers. Surely so
many terrible and wonderful things hasi
not happened under tho voof of Les
Bons Am;s since it was first built.

CIIECKMATED.

Her heart sank as she looked round
her. All eyes were fixed on her-the
baleful glances.of the two evil looking
strangers, the grave, severe look of M.
Dumont, and the hard, penetrating, ju-
dicial gaze Of the gendarlne. She felt
she was in some terrible danger.
'In the name of heaven" she cried in
trem bling tones, "of what am accused?
What does I'll this mean?"
"It MEANS" replied tho brigadier,
''that terrible crime has been COM
mitted."
She half rose to her feet, grasping the
table beside her for support, as she gazed
ut him with speechless horror.
"Yes, wretched woman" said M. Du-
mont, "the unfortunate M. Germcnil has
been foully murdered this night! Speak,
then, and prove to us if you can that
you are not guilty of this wicked decd"
She lifted her hands to her head with
b gesture as though she could not quite
grasp the meaning of what he said, re-
peating his words in low, horror stricken
tones.
IN. Germenil has been murdered~
Then after pause she seemed to realize
the position she was in. my Godf' she
cried in piercing tones, "do hear Alright?
You accuse me Of numbering him, KY
benefactor? Before that God whose
wrath falls thus heavily upon me
swear to you am innocent"
Her looks and tones were SO full Of
truth and genuine feeling that the listen
ers hesitated, and their conviction of her
guilt began to waver. Perceiving this
in their faces, Remond insidiously inter-
posed 10 the effect that he was sure it
was all right, and that madame would
have no difficulty in showing where the
money came from which Pierre had seen
in her possession that morning, and that
point settled there would be no longer
any reason for suspecting her.
Marie eagerly explained that the mon
ey h2d been given to her by N. Germe-
nil the previous evening.
1.-THE unfortunate gentleman probably
knew madame previously and took an
interest in her, which would account for
his giving her purse of gold," said Re-
mond.
SIS that so?" demanded the brigadier.
But Marie was obliged to admit that
she had never seen M. Germenil till her
arrival at Les Bons Amis tho previous
afternoon.
She felt the web closing around her
and struggled helplessly 10 escape.
cit isalikely story" said the brigadier,
that any one would give so much
money 20 an utter stranger. as you admit
yourself to have been to M. Germenil.
Let me see," he added, examining the
purse which had been taken from Marie's
pocket, "one-tw - -three-four-fiv
pieces of gold, and purse TO carry them
IN addition. A likely story indeedr'
