The paradoxical scientific plaything of Prof. L. R. Wilberforce has been entertaining British physicists. A helical spring is fixed to an unyielding support and at its lower and it carries a weight, with four screws whose uuts can be so adjusted that the spring vibrates op and down and twists on its vertical axis in approximately the same period. When the adjustment is made the energy of one rantion is transferred to the other in a very singular mannor. If the spring be pulled down and released, it rapidly ascends and descenda, at the samo time beginning to oscillate like » balance wheel, the side turning increases G the up-and-down niction lessons, Dail tion the latter casos altogether.
