ms NAME WAS CESAR.

A Tramp Who Wanted to Go TO Toledo
Detroit Flee Press.
A man who said he was trying to gel
enough money together to reach Toledo,
yesterday entered an Office on Griswold
street, and told his story, and added that
his name was Cesar.
"Any relation to julius or Augustus?"
queried the citizen.
swell, no. l want to be honest and
square about this thing, and | tell you
honestly that am not related to either"
Then Ican't help you any. You are
nothing but common sort O. plug, and 1t
won't make any difference whether you
ever get to Toledo or not. you were re.
lated to the great julius / should feel in
duty bound 10 help you"
The man backed out without another
word, and entering the Office next door he
walked up 10 the occupant with the re-
mark: "My name is Cesar, and am close
ly related TO julius and Augustus. Can
you spare me ten cents TO help me get TO
Toledo2"
"Sir, you are base deceiverl" replied
the other. "You are no more related To
the CAESARS than l am! Had you come in
here and told me straight, truthful story,
l should have given you quarter? You
can go, sir!"
The man went out, and now he deter
mined To tell the truth and nothing but
the truth. Haltingthe first man who came
along, he said:
"I have been telling folks. that my name
was Cesar, and that was trying to col
lect money enough to take me TO Toledo.
Now, the real truth Of the matter is that l
am named Clark, and wanted the money
to buy whisky. That's the solemn truth,
and can you help me with ten cents?"
"Ten cents! Why, you base liar and
deceiver, I'll hand you over to the police"
exclaimed the other.
Give told you the truth.
"And it's enough to send you up for six
months! Don't you dare ask me for
money!"
The tramp sat down on a cold stone
block, took his last chew Of tobacco, and
mused:
"I've lied and I've told the truth. I've
told the truth and I've lied. / made as
much one way as the other, and nothing
Out OF either. Looks now as II I'd got 10
play deaf and dumb or 60 to work"

GUN EXPERIMENT.

gun on board the British Iron Glad Thun.

were killed, was made to-day at proof

ing the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich. The
theory was that the disaster resulted from
double loading OF the gun through care
lessness, and according to this theory the
sister gun which was brought home for
the purpose Of experiment, was to-day
loaded and fired with a double charge Of
so and ITO pounds Of powder, one GOO
pound common shell and one seven hun
dred pound Palliser projectile. The gun
burst as its fellow did on board the Thun-
derer, justifying the opinion Of the com.
missioner OF investigation as to the cause
OF that disaster. The muzzle OF the gun
and projectiles were buried in the sand at
the proof butts. The remainder Of the
gun, with the exception Of its case, was
blown to atoms

A Motor which, the Inventor Declares
when ONCE started will Run I'LL Il
Wears Out.
New York Sum-.
All day yesterday the small rooms oI
Albert Pietrowski, at 20 Spring street
were crowded with visitors who had gone
thither to see the new motor that was ad'
vertised in the Sun on Monday. Mr..
Pietrowski is IA Pole. He is an engineer
by profession, and has been in this coun-
try sixteen years. He has devoted his
leisure hours to the elaboration OF his in
vention.
The model that he exhibited yesterday
consists OF a pair Of hollow metal wheels,
four feet in diameter, which revolye on the
same axis, but in opposite directions. The
moving power is nine metal balls placed
within the wheelsso as to bearthe rim down
at first, and then gravitate toward the axis,
where a side groove runs the balls of 70 a
grooyed radius Of the wheel revolving In
the opposite direction. Four balls were
placed in the grooyed radii OF the frst
wheel and four In the radid OF the second,
and when momentum had been gained
the ninth ball was added, to give additional
power. To the axle Of the wheels, which
Is also the axle Of smaller grooved wheels
that regulate the speed Of the machinery,
the shaiting is applied.
"Giye me cast-iron wheel, sixty feet in
diameter" said Mr.. Pietrowski, land l
will show you motor OF S00.horse power,
that requires nothing to keep it in opera
ton. 1t will continue to run until the
material wears out"
Several OF the engineers who witnessed
the working of the Pietrowski machine
yesterday were sanguine in the opinion
that for all practical purposes, leaving out
the engine Of the locomotive and the steam
boat, il will be found Of great value.

young fellow in commercial life named
Blake? Yes, Blake. He was in the
hardware line. One day, when the boss
was at dinner, a countryman came in To

suited him, and wanted dozen. Young
Blake looked at the price-list and found
they were listed "25 cents dozen; 80 of. "
He gave low, inverted whistle, and then,
with sudden inspiration, he handed the
customer 8 cents and told him he could
buy the nuts at the other store. "By

governor OF the transaction, 81 thought
the best thing could do was 10 save the
