The Time without a Watch.


Actual and repeated experiments have
shown that the nearest hour of the day or
night may be ascertained in the following
very curious way:
Make small running loop in a piece of
sewing thread about a foot in length, place
shilling in this loop. see that the coin is
accurately bisected by the thread, and then
draw the loop tight up. so that the shilling
Is firmly slung at one end of the thread.
Put Oh solid table a glass tumbler with
fairly wide mouth. Rest your right elbow
on the table in firm and easy position so
as to avoid any shakiness in your hand,
hold the other end of the thread between
your first finger and the ball" Of the thumb
q. e., the fieshy top joint of the thumb, 80
that the thumb nail is undermost, and a few
inches above the middle OF the mouth of the
glass.
Now, IL you keep your hand quite steady.
tne movement OF the coin (Which Is hanging
inside the tumbier) will become less and less
until the shilling is motionless. Then, in
mar minute or so, a very slight and regu-
lar vibration will commence, the coin oscil-
lating from side TO side like a pendulum, and
gradually increasing the length Of movement
until 1t gently strikes the side of the
glass. This strike goes on in the most regu-
lar ana automatic way, first on one side Of
the glass and then on the other until saw
elght strokes have been struck; the vibra :
lions OF the coin then diminish in length,
until the suspended shilling again becomes
motioniess and hangs in the middle of the
tumbler. You look at your watch and find
that o'clock is the nearest hour
L nave tried this over and over again, de-
liberately setting about the experiment with
out bias or any intention of influencing the
swing of the coin, and also being ignora Mt
OF the time and when my hand has been
steady the right time has invariably been
struck.
There Is something very curious about this
phenomenon. Whether the thread is ini,u-
enced by the pulse in the bali of the
thumb or whether there is some uncon scious
transference of Intention from the b-ain
TO the thread. do not know; but in any
case the matter is sufficiently interesting to
De worthy of critical test by persons who
VIII carefully and without bias carry out
this singular experiment of telling the time.
