INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.
Rotation of the Earth Demonstrated
to a Nicety.
NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Foucault":
demonstration of the movement of
the earth was repeated in New York
yesterday when a cannon ball weigh
ing 140 pounds suspended by a single
wire 91 feet long, from the dome of
St. Paul's chapel at Columbia Uni
versity, was set swinging. A tine
camel's hair brush attached to the
bottom of the ball passed over an ink
pad as the ball swung and clearly
marked its course on an eight-foot
dial on the chapel floor. Although it
was thought that there was a silghtly
elliptical movement of the giant
pendulum, it was not enough to inter
fere with the success of the experi
ment and the marks of the brush
upon the dial plainly revealed the ro
tation of the earth on its axis. The
experiment will be repeated next Fri
day and again a week from tomorrow.
The experiment was first tried in the

KEPT AMBULANCE BUSY.
Three Calls in One Day to Man Who
Refuses Hospital Aid.
NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Found un
conscious three uiltcrent times at
different points on Broadway yester
day, a new ambulance record was es
tablished on account of James Duros
of West N'incty-nfth street, three
separate ambulance calls being sent
in for him during the day. Each time
he was revived and each time he re
fused to go to the hopsital. Duros
was first found by a policeman at
Broadway and 104th street at 9:30
a. m. An ambulance called by the
police took the man home. An auto
mobile driver seeing Duros lying in
the street at 4:30 o'clock, summoned
an ambulance. The surgeon dressed
a wound in the injured man's head
and took him home in the ambulance.
At 6:30 o'clock another policeman
found Duros at Broadway and 103rd
street in an epileptic fit. He was re
suscitated a third time by the surgeon
of an ambulance summoned to the
spot and urged to go to the hospital
He again refused and again was
taken home.
Discolored Necks.
One of the common physical defects
to which women are prone Is a discol
ored neck, due, It may be, to dyes, from
Die clothing or to hair lotions, pomades,
etc., which work down from the bead.
Of course, barring the possibility of
sunburn, the skin on the neck should
have the same hue as that on the shoul
ders. It Is well, however, before resort-
lug to artificial means, to see what hot
water, a coarse wash cloth and plenty
of good soap will do in removing the
discoloration. If a month of this nat
ural treatment does not bleach the
neck anoint it dally with peroxide of
hydrogen. In case this Irritates the
skin a little vaseline or sweet almond
oil may be rubbed in after the chemical
has dried.
Baked Beans and Olive Oil.
To bake beans with olive oil is the
fashion among those who are vegeta
rians and those who detest pork. The
Housekeeper says: "To some natures
pork In any shape Is repugnant. For
those who do not relish It In baked
beans the following way of preparing
this popular dish is recommended as
being especially delicious: Soak one
pint of beans overnight. Parboil next
morning, using a little soda. When the
skin can be blown off easily, drain and
cover with boiling water. Add two ta
blespoonfuls of olive oil and one-fourtt)
of a cupful of molasses. Sprinkle with
salt, pepper and mustard. If liked very
sweet, add a half Instead of a fourth
a cupful of molasses."

It Is an odd fact that the gavel used
by the presiding officer of the seuate
has no handle, like that used by the
speaker of the house. It is an ivory
contrivance, modestly ornamented, of
cylindrical shape and about four Inches
long. In wielding It the vice president
has to bold the gavel in bis band as if
it were a small hammer without a ban
die. How the custom originated of
providing the vice president with a
bandleless gavel is not known, though
