OUR COFFEE BILL.
Little Wonder That There Is Such Uni.
versal Demand for Dyspepsia Tablets.

Recent Government statistics
show that one-ha1f of the worlds
production of coffee comes to the
united States. We pay over one
million dollars week for our cof
fee, and, of course, send the mon
ey out OF the country. Notwith-
standing the fact that France and
Germany together have one-third
more population than the United
States, they consumed last year
only half as much as we did. We
consume over 800 million pounds,
or about ten and one-half pounds
for every man, woman and Child
in the country. The evil effects
of the use of tobacco are fully
realized, and even the leglsla.
lures of many of the states have
placed restrictions on it's sale, so
as to keep 1T out OF the hands Of
children and youth ; but coffee,
the twin sister of tobacco, seems
to be getting IN it's pernicious
work, comparatively unmolested.
Perhaps, if men were as great
champions Of reform as women,
coffee would have been placed on
the shelf with tobacco long ago.
That coffee is responsible for
much of the stomach trouble of
this day,ls believed by the wisest
physicians.
Parents who encourage their
children to acquire the habit of
its use are, to say the least, very
thoughtless. Water is the drink
that God prepared for man, and
experience has shown that man s
attempts to improve on that Ii.
quid has been to the detriment of
those who choose to use artificial
drinks.

A MONSTER PENDULUM.
Erected in the Paris observatory t.
Demonstrate the Movement
OF the Earth.

\ The famous demonstration of the
earth's movement on its axis made by
the celebrated Partisan Leon Foucault
so years ago, was repeated forthe first
time in Paris the other day, reports
the New York World.
This remarkable experiment with
what has become known everywhere
as Foucault's pendulum, was repeated
with such success that a weekly public
demonstration is to be given hereafter.
To try this experiment Foucault
rugged up a giant pendulum in the
Sale Meridienne of the Paris observa-
tory. 1t consisted of 224 feet of fine
steel wire ~suspending a large copper
ball weighing &C pounds. From the
lower surface of the ball a point pro-
truded, and this struck at the extremi-
ties Of its swing two little mounds Of
fine sand.
In order that there should be no side
ways movement Of the pendulum in its
1 swing it was drawn to one side and
fastened to a stationary object by a
fine thread. After many hours of per
feet rest il was released BY burning
the string.
Each complete oscillation tool
about is seconds. On the first swing
the two mounds OF sand were cut BY
the %protruding point. Shortly there.
after the sides Of this groove began to
be cut down by the point indicating
deviation from east to west. The de.
Walton at the latitude Of Paris was
about ii per cent. per hour, exactly
what mathematics had told Foucault
it would be at that point.
1t was easily proved that there wal
no alteration in the plane of oscilla
ton of the pendulum, and the move
ment of the earth was thus certainly
demonstrated.
Had this experiment been tried a
the north or south pole the plane o,
oscillation would have appeared t.
make one complete revolution in 2
hours, and if it had been tried at thl
equator no variation would heve takeI
place.
In intermediate ATTITUDES, like New
York and Paris, the plane would vary
to use the scieptist's phrase, cas-
trigoDo netrical function of the lati
tude,"
The repetition of this majestic ex
pertinent at the Pantheon in Paris wa
made by the Astronomical society o
France, Fnd was accompanied by con
siderable ceremony,
