PERPETUAL MOTION.
A Maryland MAN Claims TO Have Dis
covered the secret.

covered the secret.
DR.. William II. Gray of West Falls,
small village In the eastern section of Fred.
erick County, Md, has been exhibiting IA
Frederick during the past few days the
model OF q machine on which he has been
exercising his inventive genius for many
years, ana In the success Of which he claims
to have found the long.sought eolution Of
great scientific problem. The machine is
called by It's inventor "the perpetual gravity
power machine.n IL consists of one wheel,
twenty-six inches in diameter and eight
inches in width across the rim, made of
iron ard steel !nelSfF9l goi'na KEYED T. 10
ssttf0Hle and bearing in brass boxes, which
are set In wooden frame.
IL weighs about sixty pounds, aud fur
nishes thirty pounds of power from the
journal, which is three.Guarters of an inch,
turned down to one quarter Of an inch bear
ing. The motive principle is that Of weights
sliding to and fro from the centre of the
wheel. There are two inner wheels, each 90
inches In diameter, between which the
weights are placed. These wheels are SO
arranged that in descending they give n
sufficient momentum to carry the wheel
around continuously, and IL is claimed that
th'o ASNOiubAOh WIZ &c hCpb up uulll lut puILS
are worn away by friction. Dir. Gray has,
with belt attachment to his machine, been
running clock, out Of which the springs
have been taken, for several months almost
continuously. He states that with an eight
foot wheel his machine will furnish 200
horsepower.
Explaining its working the inventor, in
order to show that there was no electric or
hidden magnetic Influence used In pro,
polling the wheel, lifted the journals from
the brass bearing and set them In wood,
ard, in the meantime, the wheel kept up its
steady and uninterrupted revolutions DR..
Gray appeared before Magistrate Besant IN
Frederick on Monday and made affidavit
as to bis invention, claiming its power to
be derived from the attraction of gravita-
ton, etc. The machine attracted q good
deal of attention here, aud it is thought by
many that at least new means of furnish
lug motive power has probably been dis
covered,

THE VERDICT OF SCIENCE.
The Medical Experience of Century
Proves Alcohol a Poison.

The Medical Experience of a Century
Proves Alcohol a Poison.
Among the many interesting papers
of the forthcoming centennial volume,
"One Hundred Years of Temperance,
soon to be published by the National
Temperance Society, is one of great
value by DR.. N. S. Davis, of Chicago,
the father and founder of the American
Medical Association, entitled "The
Centennial Verdict of Science" from
which we quote the following:
''ln tracing the progress of scientific
knowledge concerning the nature and
effects of alcoholic drinks, we find the
following propositions have been clear
ly and fully established, by strictly sci
entitic investigation and experiment,
without the slightest regard to social
or moral considerations on the part of
the investigators:
81. That the active agent in all the
varieties of fermented and distilled
liquids in use is alcohol OF ethylc ether,
the properties of which are the same
in all, it differing only in quantity in
the different liquids.
SO. That this alcohol belongs, chem
ically, to the same group of hydro-car-
bons as the different varieties of ether
and chloroform now generally called
an9sthetics-in other words, it is ethy-
lie ether, composed of hydrogen, oxy-
gen and carbon-and can be produced
only by process of fermentation in
substances containing saccharine mat
ter.
SO. The alcohol, wherever found,
whether in fermentod OF distilled
liquids, when taken into the human
stomach is absorbed and enters the
blood unchanged, and circulates with
that fluid through every organ and
structure of the body, until the greater
part (if not ally of it is eliminated
through the skin, lungs and kidneys.
"a. That while in the blood the al
cohol produces all the effects of pure
anesthetic and sedative, directly di-
minishing nerve sensibility, muscular
contraction and molecular movements
throughout the system.
'.It is the dimunition of nerve sensi-
bility that renders the individual first
light, airy and hilarious, giving the
popular idea of excitement or stimula-
ton; second, dull, hesitating, or inco-
herent in thought and speech, and UNI
steady or staggering in gait, popularity
recognized as incipient intoxication;
and, third, entire Inconsistencies and
muscular paralysis, constituting dead
drunkenness or complete an@sthesis.
These successive stages are developed
in direct ratio to the quantity taken.
