PERPETUAL MorloN.-A full patent has
been received by young man of Chicago for
a perpetual motion machine. The Chicago
papers say that the machine behaved itself
handsomely. working without cessation for
months. The most essential portion Of the
machine consists of hollow rocking lever or
beam, resembling the walking-beam of a
steamboat engine, except that it is bent at
oblique angles in several places. Inside this
are placed balls partially filled with mercury.
The balls, once set in motion, roll down the
interior of the hollow beam in vain search
for permanet level, but no sooner do they
reach the lower end than tho mercury in the
spokes of tho main wheel overcome their
weight, the beam is forced up, and the balls
are again impelied in their onward rush, on
ly to he caught by the valve that is forced
open from without, and pushed into the up
per arm of the beam or lever, ready to be
hustled along their never ending route. A
delicately adjusted weight and break are at
tached to the machine, and serve to regulate
j $ motion. bat 1t is in the hollow spokes and
hsam', and the balis Of quicksilver, that the
m.1f~ -. ous power is said to lie.

We recently visited the castor oil mannfac-

mon. northwest of the California Pacific Rail-
road Company's old depot. Being a novice
in the preparation and pressing of the castor
bean. and the process employed TO produce
the pure oil, we We're surprised at the sim
plicity of the machinery and everything con-
neeted with the modus operandi. The beans
are first subjected to dry heat Of an hour or
sn. in furnace. This softens them and
brings them to that peculiar state re-
quired in expeditions pressing. They arc
then taken out and placed in screw
press. run by horse power and capable Of
pressing between so and 100 gallons of oil
per day. From the press the oil is conveyed
into vessel and from thence into large
iron tank or boiler. In this is placed sixty
gallons Of oil and the same amount of water.

purities. The whole is then boiled about an
hour, and kept standing until the next nogn-

transferred to the CHARTERS, which are com
posed Of zinc, and capable Of holding from

eight hours in the snn il is taken out and
put into cans, and is ready for the market.

500 per ton, and 100 pounds is supposed to
produce FIVE gallons of oil.

4Kr Geo. q. Price,
DEAR I'll am pleased to answer YOUR en-
qulrles in regard to my experience with Phos-
phates as l have used them for the past four
years, including the principal leading varieties
sold IN this section, and generally with good re-
suits. Both experience and observation of nv
neighbors' operations lead me to give decided
preference to Baugh's, which has. think. peculiar
meritin in it's application to Grass. Last fall I
was induced to try other varieties to the NEGLECT
of Baugh's, but find it was to nv great loss.
and for the future shall use it alone. as am
satisfied it is the best. My father gives it the pref
erence over all others.
The durability of the effects of Baugh's is well
seen in the field of neighbor, where five wears
ago it was used by the side Of Peruvian Guano,
theef'ect of Baugh's over the Guano is we'll and
distinctly marked to the present time. and will
doubtless continue SO for many years. The effects
of the latter have entirely disappeared.
