about the conduct of our half

such a point that our subConscious

then, is the necessity of a house

our minds.
Praise, commendation and inspi-

sordidness of evil thinking. The
so-calIed new psychology is the key
to success here. To praise the lit

To command the few worthy
deeds they may perform is to inn

one years ago furnished, with
great eClat. the first experimental
proof of the earth's daily rotation
on its axis. No such proof was
really needed 10 satisfy scientific
men, or even the general intelli-
gent public that the earth did
turn on its axis from west to east
once every twenty.four hours. for
it had long been recognized that
the apparent motion OF the stars
from east to west. at the regular
rate of fifteen degrees per hour.
or one complete revolution in
twenty-four hours, was only rea-
sonably to be explained as a rela-
lively effect OF the earth's rota-
ton around its axis in the other
direction.
For those who knew a little
more about astronomy a beauti-
full confirmation was found in the
fact that the sun seems to move
eastward nearly one degree per
day, because Of the earth's revolu.
tion around him in period OF
365 days; the result of this daily
eastward advance of the sun be.

earth's rotation as measured by
the position Of the sun is about
four minutes longer than when
measured with reference to a
fixed star.

and so arranged that there would
be no force interfering to change
the plane in which the pendulum
swung after once 1t was started.
Being set in motion the pendulum
kept swinging in the same un-

the oscillation continued. On the
floor Of the Pantheon Foucault ar
ranged a circle of fine sand, so

swing the pendulum bob traced a
