DEATH OF TEE IEvEHToR OF PERPETUAL
MoTIoS Mr.. James g.. HendTickson OF
Freehold. Mopmonih county well known
for his "ptr7etual notion machine died
on Saturday last., He, devoted bis life
to obtsining perpetusl motion. and bis
machines have been puzzle 10 all who
examined, them, as they have certainly
moved for six years without ahs applics-
ton of,sny external powsrs, and apparent
". with no intention of stepping. Mr. H.
suffered much ridlculs and persecution;
but was quiet, honest and patient old
man. He was once arrested ct Keyport,
for practiceng ''jugglsry" under the "Act
for suppressing vice and immorsiity." -
AT the trial several builders, mill wrights
ensipesrs and philosophers were called
who testified positively that no such mo-
tive power as that allsdged could drive
the machine, and the machine was broken
bu, no motive power was discovered.--s
At the time Of his death. Mr. H. vss
engaged in applying bis machines toelock
work. He had been so much persecutsd
by the instedulousa that he had provided a
secret place benesth the floor of hiss shop.
where his last two machines wore deposit
led. 1t was In the form ofa vault covered
by trap door, which was locked, aud tho
floor so replaced ss to avoid suspicion.
After mis- last illness commenced he
made known his secret to his family. who
examined the spo. carefully. and found
the contents as exactly described,
The night ofb,s death the shop was
broken open. the floor taken up. the trap
door pried off. and. both models stoieh.
1t is probable that The family in their visits
Ehad not .aken the same preeauicn as the
Inventor. anu some pryiDg eyes had dis
covered the secret Fortunately the
drawings are preserved. and there is q
little machine, one Of ths earliest made.

great satisfaction to the people OF this lo>>

unpopular with the people, I Icaunot see
that he is looked upon with favor by the
officers of the army, aud fear that the
