PERPETUAL MOTIONPERHAPS.

Piipiiun l motion, like the |>El—opher't: stone, is one of those things regularly sought after. Years ago it Wir: proved that the idea was absurd. y*t rfi'>-ntTv another inventor came at.! wit- a n**w perpetual motion not ion !

S.uii" of tb- M- p< rpot.ua 1 motion machines arc certainly extremely ingonioil«. One man thought he had discovered a wav (o run omnibuses by thein---«'lvcs. He find cylinders of water placed ii:st above the axles, and on these cylinders was supported the whole w-ight. of th-' 'J.ns and passengers. Pipe- b-d this water to the back of the 'lms. curved round, nnd ended in the hack board of the ’bus.

flic more p.assonßors there were, the gro.-itor flu- pressure of wa-er. and the faster the How of water to the back of !h«' ’hiis. Tl: • faster, t-i.i, v.ill t’-'- 'lms rush fern a rd! At lea-t. so said the inventor, who actu.allv took out n patent. for Ids id-n!» Needless to say, n. stich T.'tses arc running.' A’l'itlinr ingenious idea .•-as a wheel with n ■ rrow shelves instead of spokes. On each '.keif was a I'ad ball, and the inventor claimed that once the wheel was started the l-al's on the falling wile ki-nt running towards the cireiini-feren-'o. and so mil weighed those on the rising side v.hic-h ran towards ‘l’ - renC'-o. Op. started the wheel shmild keep f ,n for ever. f':. r < !':e.'-t< !v it ;>!■ v. ays stooped ;ift< r a few time-.
