A French scientist, SI. Ilolllot, has dovlsed

known pendulum cxjierluient on n small
scale, and showing Unit, when nil (xelllntlng
pendulum is nttni lied ton revolving sphere,
tho iil.iuo of Its oscillations present's tho
sniiio Kwltlon independently of tho rotation
of tho sphere tu which It is attached, Tho

If now tho iMMidultuuH nro twt In motion, nnd

tho pendulums win ulways vibrato in tho

It will readily bo understood, that, If
ono of tho revolving sphere was in

placed upon it, nnd partook of Ha
motion, tho pendulum it'olf would Rcora

Is exactly what hapiicns in tho enso of tho

and wouli apparently inovo entirely around

though really tho pendulum would remain
swinging In tho samo direction, whilo tho
earth and tho observer would luivo moved
around it.
Tlio Flivnnuicnn of Somnambulism.
Tho phenomena of somnambulLsm and their
connection with tho ncrvo centres havo not
boon satisfactorily nccounted for. Thoy
pndiably depend primarily, ny Tho Lancet,
upon a directing impulse of sensory origin.
Boino of ouructlonsoftcn becomo by prnctico
so nearly nutonmtlo that jinrtlal sleep or
tuior doc! not nrrost their unconscious por
foruianco. In somnambulism tho Intellect nnd
controlling will nro torpid, whilo tho sensori
motor man whom they should govern is
nwako nnd actlvo. A in dreams tho intelli
gent scnsoriuin is alone drowsily active, with
possibly n noticeable tendency to rcstloss
inovemout, so thcro may bo other states of
dreaming, In which tho centers of motion nro
stimulated to n more jxiwcrful but uncon
scious net Ion. Partial counteractives to
somnambulism inny lie found in throwing off
worries, nnd in tho proper regulation of
evening meals.
Death In Iturnlni; nullillnc.
It has becomo a ipicstlon, it seems, whether
death in burning buildings is as horriblo as is
goncrally supjiosod. Tho Lancet, speaking
particularly of tho nirnlr of tho Opora
Comiipie, in Paris, observe that tho burning
seldom occurs in theso cases until after death,
or nt icast insensibility to pain, lias town pro
duced. Except under very jiocullar condi
tion, tho victim is mado faint nnd pulseless
by tho cnrtomlc ncld, or tho enrbonio oxldo
gns, lieforo the flro iviiche his body. It is
tho cxjioricnai of persons who havo toen in ft
burning lioiivo that tho lieatcd and smoky at
mosphere sixtollly Inducosa feeling of jiowcr
lcs!,iHss nnd of indifference to whut 1 going
on nround; and it Is generally this stupofne
tion, with subsmpiont paralysis of feeling,
that prevents judicious means being taken for
