OF this curious invention is as follows: Six
years ago, Mr. DeddI lex. the inventor. who
is At present but twenty-five years OF age =,
conceived the novel idea Of constructing a
man that should receive its vitality from a
perpetual motion machine. The idea was
based on the well known mechanical prin
ciple that II a heavy weight be placed at
the top OF an upright. slightly Inclined from
a vertical, gravalion will tend to produce a
horizontal as we'll as vertical motion. The
project was not successful. However, by
observing carefully the cause OF the failure.
preserving aud psrf-cting the man-iorm,
and by substituting steam in place OF the
perpetual motion machine. the present sue.
cess was attained.

seldom yield themselves entirely up to fan
