The unsold houses include all those still
in the hands Of the original builders. The
list Of those sold includes considerable
proportion Of houses bought by plaintiffs
in foreclosure suits. Where the builder
was known to be an investor his property
has been excluded in making up the table.
Many Of the buildings, however. were pro-
jected by realty corporations. some of which
no doubt intend to hold their properties
for investment. Where houses were sold
outright by private contract the buyer
was frequently a corporation, organized
to acquire the property. OF course, some
Of the apartment hotels for which plans

this class Of housing as those for the preced-

A MONSTER PENDULUM.
Erected I'm the Paris Observatory to
Demonstrate the Movement
OF the Earth.

The famous demonstration OF the
earth's movement on its axis made by
the celebrated Partisan Leon Foucault
80 years ago, was repeated for the first
time in Paris the other day, reports
the New York World.
This remarkable experiment with
what has become known everywhere
Ms Foucault's pendulum, was repeated
with such success that n weekly public
demonstration il to be given hereafter
TO try this experiment Foucault
rugged mp giant pendulum in the
Sale Meridienne Of the Paris observa-
tory. II consisted Of PA feet OF fine
steel wire suspending a large copper
ball weighing 66 pounds. FROM the
lower surface OF the ball 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
swing it, was drawn to one side and
fastened 90 stationary object by a
fine thread. After many hours Of per-
feet rest IL was released by burning
the string
Each complete oscillation took
about 10 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 90
be cut down 10y the point indicating a
deviation from east 20 west. The de-
Walton at the latitude Of Paris was
about II per cent. per hour, exactly
what mathematics had told Foucault
II would be az that point.
IT was easily proved that there was
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 at
the north or south pole the plane Of
oscillation would have appeared to
make one complete revolution in "a
hours, and IL II had been tried az the
equator no varia ton would have taken
place.
In intermediate ATTITUDES, like New
York and Paris. the plane would vary,

tude."
The repetition % this majestic ex-
pertinent at the Pantheon in Paris was
made by the Astronomical society OF
France. and was accompanied by con-
siderable ceremony.

BLEACHING IVORY ARTICLES.
A Simple Formula for Removing Dis

how best TO clean ivory objects that

hints are afforded by the Drug Cir

wash the ivory well with ammonia
water, then with water, and finally
apply solution of hydrogen peroN-

or four days to the action Of the sun

ivory in a hot mixture OF undissolyed
lime, bran and water; remove after .

and with the latter rub thoroughly.
