The movement was proved by suspend

from the top of the dome, a pencil
touching a piece.of paper being attached
to the weight. In the morning the sun
caused the west side of the building to
expand. As the rays reached the other
■ides of the dome, the expansion moved
with them and at the end of the day
the pencil had traced an ellipse six
inches long.

the introduction under the title of “ A
