Mr. RIcHTER's PERPETUAL MoTInH.-We
visited yesterday, in company with others, and
thoroughly examined the invention oi Mr..
Richter. While fully aware that several II'a.
chimes have al different periods been invented,
claiming to be perpetual motions, all OF which
have failed to acco,ni,lIs any u,rlul result, we
are ccnvincrd that The ingenious invention Of
Mr. Richter has greater Claims hpon public Ii.
vor than any aud aIl others. In this wheel d
very limited, but pu>iiively. actual power is oh.
tanned "A self created power, not alone capa.
bic of moving tie wheel itself, but ui driving
machinery utiached-liurd and delicate in
the wheel before U.s. it is tue, but positive,
rangible and real. The power obtained is the
excess Of power Of Il longer over Il shorter le-
yer, acted upon by the force OF gravity
The wheel has seven levers ur arms rest.
ing nearly upon the outer rim ot the wheel, anJ
seven others connected with these. Starting
lrva the vertical point, each of these drscrnds
ny it own gravity short space, throwing "ut all
extended lever some distance beyond The peri.
rhery. Three Of these levers acting at once,
each with its adjunct or extended lever, on The
descending side Of the wheel, create the motion.
, By nice but simple mechinical arrangement,
these levers as they success:vely pass The nadir
or bottom part ofthe wheel, are folded within
the air of the wrcel, and their lever power l,r.
Ing thus lrssenrd, are easily ca Ell 10 the yer.
tcal point, to again act rs the motive power.
! 1t is most ingenious piece "t mechanism,
and will well repay Il visit. Mr.. Richter de-.
