STRANGE SEA ANIMAL.
It Settles KwU Permanently on the Shell
of the Hermit Crab.
One of the least developed forms of
niedusre Is that pictured in our engrav
ing. The medusa) are jelly fishes and
allunited'under the name of Discophora,
or disc-bearers. They are an interest
ing sight, viewed from a pier-head, pass
ing in large shoals, and rolling gently
over, as if in excess of happiness. At
night the medusa) glow in phosphor- j
escent light, as so many fireflies. Our
species, Hydratinia echinata, has not
this independent and freo locomotion.
It prefers to settle more permanently
on shells, selected by the hermit crab
as his abode. It is common on the
O.YE OF THE DISC-BE ARK RS.
coasts of England and Norway. The
medusa) has thus tho advantage of
changing its feeding place, such
at least seems the object There
may be othor reasons for attaching
themselves Jo the abode of this restless
crab, but as yet they have not been dis
covered. Tho part held in common by
the different members of the colony is a
skin closely fitting to the shell and con
taining a layer of the same substance
of which the polyp-like tul>es consist.
The feeding channels fasten themselves
in this membrane with their thorn-like
protuberances, and thus enable the ani
mal to live and grow. The feeders of
the colony are distinguished by their
length and strongly-developed tenta
cles, mouth and organs of digestion.
They arc the supporters of the colony
and supply the necessary food for the
Individuals having no mouth. The lat
ter may be all females and have, in
place of the tentacles, a girdle of nettle
like heads and at a little distance from
that a circle of simple capsules contain-
Ing egg. The hair-like larva coming
from the eggs is the founder of a new
colony.

FOUCAULT'S PENDULUM.
Uow to Dfiaoniitratp In a Simple MtiUMV
a Sclent Ulc Principle.
At dessert one can easily repea.t, with
the aid of an apple or orange, the ex
periment of the pendulum of Foueault,
made under the dome of the Pantheon
at Taris in 1851.
Pierce the apple with a match or 1
toothpick; the two ends should come j
out exactly opposite each other. At
tach to one of these ends a thread; this
makes the pendulum. Tie the other
end of the thread to a pin stuck firmly
into a cork.
Support the cork by sticking- oblique
ly into its sides three forks, the handles
of which are rested upon the edge of a
plate.
Oscillate the pendulum, after having
regulated the length of the thread so
that the lower point of the match al
most reaches to the bottom of the plate.
It will trace a furrow in two little
mounds of sugar that are used to repre
sent the circle of sand that Foueault
hod placed on the pavement under his
pendulum.
The plate represents the earth. As
long as the plate remains stationary the
match, at each oscillation of the apple,
passes exactly in the furrows that it
has traced in the two heaps of sugar.
To represent the movement of the ro
tation of the earth, turn the plate care
fully, without jarring, tho forks and
cork, of course, turning- with the plate.
It will be seen that the turning of the
plate does not Influence in the least the
direction of the pendulum, which con
tinues to oscillate in the same plane as
before, the match tracing a furrow dis
tinct from the preceding one.
Thus can be demonstrated in a simple
and practical manner the principle of
the invariability of the plane of oscilla
tion of tho pendulum, the principle on
which was based the celebrated experi
ment of the learned French savant.
EYE MEASUREMENTS.
An Almost Indispcnftable in ft
Good Mechanic.
A good medianical eye is an almost
essential requisite in a good mechanic,
says the Manufacturers' Gazette. No
one can ever attain distinction as a me
chanic unless he is able to detect ordi
nary imperfections at sight, so that he
can see if things are out of plumb, out
of level, out of square and out of proper
shape, and unless he can also detect dis
proportioned or ill-shaped patterns.
This is a great mechanical attainment,
and one which can be readily attained
by an ordinary person. Of course there
are defective eyes, as there are other
defective organs; the speech, for in
stance, is sometimes defective, but the
eye is susceptible of the same training
as any organ. The muscles, the voice,
the sense of hearing, all require train
ing. Consider how the artist must train
the organ of sight in order to detect the
slightest imperfection in shade, color,
proportion, shape, expression, etc. Not
one blacksmith in five ever attains the
art of hammering square, yet it is very
essential in his occupation. It is simply
because he allows himself to got into
careless habits. A little training- <»thl
care is all that is necessary for success.

Then take the biggest in you lap an' tear

I could never be content to wear a tooth

artificial teeth were manufactured from
the raw material and that natural teeth
were nover used in making plates.
