PERPETUAL MOTION.
A new industry will be started on a quarter section of land in the. U.S. An enterprising farmer will establish 1,000 black cats, and 5,000 rats on which to feed the cats, estimating that the cats will increase 15,000 in two years. Their skins are worth several shillings each. The rats will multiply five times as fast as the cats, and will be used to feed the cats, while the skinned cats will furnish food for the rats. Thus has perpetual motion been discovered at last.
