TELLS OF RACETRACK HARM.
Writer Declares Evil It Has Brought to

they are conducted) without perceiving its

TRY TO CELOR0F0RM WOMAN.
Burglars Enter Home of Wife of Vaude.
vile Performer at ST. James, Z. I.

The entire Sheriff's force az ST. James, Long
Island. spent yesterday in looking for two men
who entered the home of Mrs. Thomas Lewis the
wife of a vaudeville performer, occupying n cot
tage, early yesterday morning. and carried off
jewelry valued at s325 and SO in cash after they
had tried TO chloroforn the owner
Mrs. Lewis was awakened when a cloth that
proved to be a chloroform soaked handkerchief
was drawn across her mouth. One OF the men
pointed revolver at her and asked her 10 tell
him where she kept her valuables. After she had
replied. one man stood guard over her while the
other made search. Both men disappeared
warning Mrs. Lewis not TO give an alarm. She
waited an hour before she gathered courage to go
TO the home OF q neghbor.

SHOW HOW EARTH MOVES
FoucauLt Pendulum Experiment Re
pedted at Columbia.

Whatever doubt may have existed in the minds
Of some Of the Columbia University freshmen that
the earth does not turn It's axis was dispelled
yesterday afternoon, when Professor Charles
Forbes repeated the Foucault pendulum expert
ment to demonstrate the axial rotation. The test
did not prove that there n complete terrestrial
turn In twenty-four hours but there enough
evidence to show that 1.-The earth do move" 1t
moved two inches in hour; at least. that was
the indication on the scales marked the cir
cuar which the swinging pendulum
passed.
From the dome of the chapel an n-inch ball.
nicely Silded for the test, swung piano
wire ninety feet long. On the floor arcs were ar
ranged at the end of sx-foot piece of board. A
scale marked each are and the inches
were arranged so that one part equaled quarter
of an hour in time. In the of the board
and directly under the ball small block of wood
was set, and on this covering of marking
paint. Under the bail small brush fastened
and as it swung over the painted block enough ink
was gathered to mark the scale both
the ball swung clear of them.
Great care was taken to prevent any force from
turning the swinging bail from the plane of mo-
ton in which it started. and thereby help to keep
it in line with Newton's theory that a body in
motion VIII persist in moving in the drec-
ton unless impeded by another force In the dome
a wire was fastened by thick rubber to the tri-
angular support This to aid in keeping true
the vibration OF the swinging pendulum. The
heavy bob was drawn ont Of the vertical position
by loose band around it and attached to string,
the latter being tied to a chair. a guide also
placed against the bob to prevent side vibration.
When everything ready the string burned
and the band fell off the bob, starting the
pendulum IN its swing with little no motion out
of the plane
During the experiment Professor HalIock, of the
university faculty gave address on the pen
dulum theory telling of the different experiments
to prove the rotation of the earth He told the
students that it was Foucault, Z French physicist
who first used the swinging pendulum prove
that the earth moves its axis. He tried it in
1851 at the Pantheon, in Paris. Since then pen
dulums have been erected in various parts of the
world, and all agreed in essential results Yester
days was the first demonstration OF the kind
Columbia University.
AT the end of Professor Hallock's talk about two
inches OF black marking observed on the
scales Of both arcs. and, in spite of the apparent
attempt OF the swinging ball to smash Newton's
theory to pieces, there were enough arguments 10
convince the skeptical that 1t was the earth, and
incidentally st. PauI's Chapel, that did the NOV
ing act and not the swinging body.

almost broke the record for low mortality The

1t can hardly be doubted hat the hurri-
cane which, as the telegram informs us, has
been so destructive in Turks Islands on the
10th and 18th is the same as passed US on
the night of the 9th.
The group is about 470 miles from ST. Croix
and about 440 from the place where we sup
pose the storm centre to have been at it's
nearest to us, say 200 miles towards N. N. w.
at about 2 a. III. on the 10th.
We have already stated our view that the
forward motion of the cyclone was very ra-
pid-our estimate was from Is to Is miles
an hour, say from $50 to 430 miles a day
and it was this high speed hat carried it to
the Turks Islands in SO brief a time.
Further the track was exceptional in being
nearly straight, instead of curving towards
the north as is commonly the case.
The Storm seems to be a very powerful
one, and Il is to be feared has still a track
to be marked with destruction in trout of it.

Seagoing Railroad.

Tho February number OF Every
body's Magazine contains an interest
ing article on the Florida East Coast
Railway that is now being pushed
out into the ocean, making for Key
West-some 13O miles from Miami
on the Southern coast Of Florida
This road is owned by Henry NJ.
Flagler and his millions are now
pushing it out into the ocean.
Already the first section has been
completed under enormous difficult
ties. The section is 1Oa- miles in
length and extends from Miami to
Knights Key. The distance was
covered by passenger train on its
first trip recently in five hours. That
was Of course, no recOrd-breaking
speed for a train on land but the
100 passengers on board probably
thought it fast enough for a train
that was ploughing through the
ocean for miles and miles.
When the second section is COM
pleted, the bridging Oh which the line
will be laid will be 80 miles i'm length,
going from Miami to Key West, the
outermost OF the coral islands on
which the line is built Ten hours is
now saved in the journey from New
York to Havana by the road to
Knights Key and when the line is ex-
tended over the forty-seven miles
from there to Key West, a further
saving of time will be possible
This short line will cost Flagler
some s15,000,000 and perhaps
more
