Something near Perpetual Motion.

A New York paper reports that there
is on exhibition in q small apartment ID
Chambers street what is claimed to be
the nearest approach to a perpetual mo-
tor ever devised. The continuance con-
sists of two wheels, nearly cQpcentric,
which are rotated by means of nine four
pound balls, which run in the grooved
radii of the wheels. When the machine
is at rest four Of the balls are placed in
the grooves of each of the wheels, one
to each of the four grooves, there being
eight in all. To give motion to the
machine a ninth ball il placed in a va
cant groove. The equilibrium being dis
turbed, the first wheel begins to revolve
and the movement of its axis, which is
cogged with the axis of the other,
sets that in motion. On reaching a GER
tain point the odd ball instead Of con-
tinuing its motion from the center of
the wheel to the circumference, rolls
through an opening into groove be
longing to the companion wheel and
imparts additional motion to that one,
the loss of force in the first being soon
made up by tie return of the odd ball
on reachil g given point on the other
side.
The machine does not generate much
power, but it certainly develops enough
by simple gravitation to give motion to
itself until the material of which it is
made is worn out. It is the invention
of Albert Pietrowski, polish engineer,
who labored for more than eighteen
wears before he succeeded in Derfectin
q model that would satisfactorily dem
onstrate the theory which has been the
dream Of his life.

The Hedgehog's Mode Of Denfense

The hedgehog is one of the best pro-
tecied of living animals. Marching
secuerly under the guardianship of its
thorn-spiked armor, it recks little of
any foe save man. M The formidable
array Of bristling spines with which the
back is moro or less covered offers a
cheval-de-frise Of sharp spikes toward
any animal that may present itself as an
enemy. Another REGULARITY is the pow
er possessed by these creatures of roll
ing themselves into a round ball, by
placing the head on the breast, drawing
up the legs, and.curling the body firmly
round the members, By this posture
the hedgehogs render themselves invul-
nerable to almost any animal that NAV
attadk them. When in this curious
attitude the hedgehog can not be un-
rolled by main force as long as any life
remains in the body for there is an enor-
mously developed muscle, with a very
thick margin, which spreads over the
back and round the sides, and which,
when contracted, holds the creature in
so firm an embrace that it will be torn
in pieces rather than yield its point.
The spines of this animal are about
an inch long, and naturally lie fat on
the back, directed toward the tail. But
by peculiar arrangement they are er-
ected when the owner coils himself. In
shape the spine sis not unlike large
pin, being sharply pointed at one ex-
tremity, and furnished at the other
with round, bead-like head and rath-
er abruptly bent near the head. If the
skin be removed from the hedgehog.
the quilts are seen to be pinned, as It
were; through the shin, being retained
by their roend heads, which are acted
upon by the peculiar muscle which has
already been mentioned.
Protected by this defense, the hedge
hog is enabled to throw itself from con.
siderable heights, to curl itself into .
ball as it defends, and to reach the
ground without suffering any harm
from its fall. A hedgehog has been
seen repeatedls to throw itself from q
wall some twelve or fourteen feet in
height, and to fall upoo thehard ground
without appearing to be even incon-
veniended by its tumble. On reaching
the ground, it would unroIl itself and
trot Of with perfect unconcern

Ajax Metal-A New CompositiOn.

What is known as 'Aiax metal' is a
composite, the brass being refined Lake
Superior copper, and the introduction
of other metals causing a chemical as
well as physical union which changes
the molecular forms of the metals,
makes the amalgamation homogeneous
and toughens it so that in tensile
strength it nearly approaches steel,
while non corrosive qualities especially
fit it for use where other metals fail. In
appearance it shows its copper origin
or base, and is smooth and even to the
touch, having the outward properties of
what is termed an oily metal. The new
metal finds favor with artisans, and is
coming into prominence in art manu-.
features. 1t is highly anti-frictional.

The Gar Of Russia.

Until the current week the car of
Russia, suddenly called to the troubled
throne by the bombshells of the nih-
lists who butchered his imperial father,
has never summoned courage to visit
Moscow, the ancient capital. A GER
mony of the utmost importadce in Rus
sian eyes isiyet to be PERFORMED before
he can fully be recognized as the head
of the state, He has realized the nee
essity of taking the crown at the Krem-
lin, the grim palace prison of Moscow,
and of receiving the sacred ointment
from the hands of the Russian patriarch,
but hitherto he has not dared to enter
upon journey which he has good reas-
on to believe would be attended by
perils against which the utmost pre-
caution could not gaurd. The longer
he tarried in the vicinage of st. Peters
the fainter, he knew, became his claim,
regular enough but for this, upon the
loyalty of the Russians. Their tradi-
tions are strongly held. The mummery
OF the crowning must be gone through
with in the old way and at the old place,
method and place santiied by the usage
OF centuries, or there would be but
slight claim upon the allegianbe of the
Russians. The treasury of Moscow
contains, not the Russian crown alone,
but all the minor diadems of many con-
quered kingdoms long since absorbed,
that the new emperor must receive here
and in the appointed way, or not at all.
After many months of waiting, of criug-
ing and shuddering waiting, during
which he has started ct every noise like
a guilty thing, and in apprehension has
suffered thousand deaths, the emperor
is at last at Moscow. Infinite precau-
ton was taken to Illustrate murderous
conspirators. No one knew when the
imperial train would set out. When it
did move, the wires were cut that no
news whatever might be carried ahead.
With strong gaurd he entered an
ancient capital, and, in momentary ap-
prehensiOn of such q death as, after
numerous attempts, met his father, the
car was given seception which accord
to the governments telegraphic accounts
must have been glad surprise to the
imperial visitor. The people were not
sullen or menacing. They were en-
thusiastic in their demonstrations of
royalty and welcome. At the Kremlin
the emperor and his consort received
the homage of the burgomaster. They
fastened tothe chapel of the Geor-
gian virgin, whose is one of the mysier-
les of Moscow, and to neglect devotion
to whom be an omen of awful import.
They visited the cathedral where from
time immemoriai the Muscovites have
been crowned, and with studious at en-
ton have performed every duty which
tradition has imposed upon the severe

CHICAGO, Oct. 11.-For some days past
the passenger rates from st. Paul to Chi

Island & Pacific railway, and it was re-
ported here yestesday that the other roads
were following suit. One report had il
that the Rock Island was selling tickets at
$3.50 and refunding $3.50 to passengers
upon arrival in this city. The st. Paul
claims not to be in the cut, and that they
are doing straightforward legitimate
business. The chances for a
strong guerrilla war are great
and people are only waiting for the roads
to commence cutting each others threats
by making 81 rate between st. Paul and
Chicago to come here and buy goods.

was nothing lees than q cannibal.

boasted of eating human flesh in
Austerlitz, and he at one time hor-
rifled two honest Afford farmers
by remarking that he liked 1t, and
wished he could live on 1t. The
revolving report, which was at first
too horrible to believe, but which
is now gaining credence, that
those who first visited the cabin
after the murder found . human
liver in the frying-pan, cooked and
partly eaten, comes from Beck

driver states that Beckwith ate one
of his horses that had died from
disease early this winter, and .
