The first steps in decimal time-keeping, taken in Switzerland, have met with the approval of leading scientific bodies. M. l'an) Ditisheim has constructed a decimal chronometer called the tropomster, and a new registering chronoscope, the hours being counted-as recommended by M. Henri do Sorrenton-from 0 to 24, with subdivisions iuto 100 minates of 100 seconds, each second consisting of two bente. In measure- ments of the circle, the divisions are 240 degrees, euch subdivided into 100 primes con- taining 100 thirds.

The blay colour of the sky bas been long attributed to refraction of light by the dust, or minate particles, scattered in the air. A different theory has been worked out by M.

The simplified Foucault pendulum of M. d'Aronvat. is a copper-covered lenden ball of 21 pau ds supported by a steel wire about a hundredth of an inch in diameter. The wire is attached to the eailing by a nail, and a metal beblock screwed to the ceiling firmly clamps the apper end of the wire, leaving the rest of 11 fres

to swing about the lower face of the block. Such a pendulum is capable of swinging about three hours, making evident the earth'e rotation in that timo.

The expansion of metals on beating is a a rions disadvantage for many purposes. The new alloy of iron with 38 per cent. of nickel is clainied to expand less than 112,000, for an invrenge of 1 deg. C. while the expsosion of iron. is 1-80,000 for dog C. The alloy is recom- mended for clock-pendulums, mossares, etc.
