at each swing, it viii be observed
that each line is further to the right
and that no line crosses another ex-
cept in the centre OF 1.-THE position
of the ball if at rest.
In thirty-six hours this line, if the
pendulum could be kept swinging,
would form the radium of an entire
circle At the North Pole, where the
rotation of the earth is faster, 1t
would take only twenty-four hours.
The reason for this phenomenon
is that the ball is suspended in space
and the building and the paper on
its floor are fixed ma definite spot on
the earth. The building twists
around with the revolution of the
earth, while the bail always swings
in the same position. In time the
floor makes a complete circle
around the pendulum.
Foucault performed the expert
ment for the first time at the Pan
theon in Paris, with a pendulum zoo
feet long.
Prof. Jacoby, when asked wheth-
er he had undertaken the expert
ment to silence astronomers having
absurd theories about the earth s
revolution replied:
mo, we don't try particularly to
refute the theories-of any crank. We
don't even expect to establish any
new law or record any new observa-
ton We merely want to demon
strate to the university and to the
public the proof of a well known
principle.
The experiment has not been
tried in this country for years. w
here at Columbia we had been han
dicapped heretofore by not having
any building with a roof high

Is YOUR BUSINESS RUN BY SAIL
OR BY STEAM.

Anybody can sell goods during
flush times, when people are earning
lots of money and spending it freely.
The real test of a merchants bus
mess quality is his ability to win and
hold profitable patronage during
duh times, when people are earning
their dollars.
It is In such time that we learn
whether a business house is operat-
ing under sail or steam. The house
that moves under sail, in the old,
careless fashion, can carry a small
business cheaper in good times than
the house that drives forward under
the pressure of skillful advertising.
The sailing house saves the cost of
newspaper publicity, or spends but
little in that way, and with careful
management in other respects can
during favorable weather make rea-
sonable profits.
The superiority of the new meth
cd, that of moving under steam In
stead of sail, becomes instantly ap-
parent when the wind shifts, or
falls away, or when heavy weather
comes, says the Houston Chronicle.
The ship-owner knows that il it
takes thousand tons of coal to drive
his vessel over her route in fair
weather, it will take more coal to
send her over the route in heavy
" ather. 1t is precisely this fact that
ha been grasped by the merchant
who runs his business by steam in
stead of by sail. He advertises liber-
ally during good times, framing his
announcements to the end of stand
ardZing his business in the public S
mind. He is careful to make good
at the stores counters on every
statement put forth In his newspap-
er announcements. He advertises in
good times as much to create store
standard as to hasten sales. When
dull days come he puts on more
steam, uses more space. and uses il
with finer discretion than before
He does this because he knows the
people are still willing and able to
buy his wares, but must be shown
sound specific reasons for doing it
right then.
While the old-style merchant, who
uses little advertising space and uses
it clumsily, because he doesn't wish
to pay an expert for preparing it, is
making slow or no progress under
sail. the modern-minded progress
sive merchant moves steadily for
ward under steam, and he it is who
is able to report when a period OF
dull times has passed, that his sales
and profits held up TO normal

New Yory, Feb. IF there are
