APerp.tuai Motion Sch. mo.

After devoting twenty-one years OF his
life and $4,000 Of his fortune to expert
ments on perpetual motion inventions,
David Jennings OF Lyons, Wayne county,
N. Y, has at last hit upon 8 continuance
which he is confident will produce the de-
sired result. The machine, which he has
patented and has now on exhibition, is
very simple. It consists Of an ordinsry
chain, which runs on pulleys around q
triangular frame, While descending the
side the links double up, doubling the
weight and increasing the motion. As
they resch the bottom they separate sgsin,
and the part OF the chain which is de-
scending is therefore always heavier than
the other, and therein lies the motive
power. After it is started it is claimed the
speed constantly increases, and brake is
necessary to stop it.

cities will this be carried out. Ordi-
nances he may sign, but resolutions will
In many cases be carried out before his
signature is obtained to them. How
many cities have their minutes and res
olutions contained in them, as written
up by the clerk, go unsigned for
months, and them have them all signed
In batch? The trouble with the COM
pliers or this incorporation law is that
they knew too much about the way
large and old cities are run, and their
needs, and too little about the way new
cities must be managed, and their needs.
The idea OF running a dozen cities all
alike, without considering the fact that
their needs vary with location, is
absurd, and the absurdity is apparent
only when it is tried. In the old Man
dan charter there was Il clause about
bridges over the Heart river, which are
within the city limits, but are the prop
erty OF the county. Under the new
charter we don't know where we are.
There is nothing about these bridges, land
they occupy an anomalous position
county property on city soil-cOunty
bridges over city road. This is re-
ferred to as an illustration of the fact
that most of the charters in existence
have special clauses that are valuable to
the cities for which they were drawn
up. 1t may be that, taking everything
into consideration, some of the charters
that Dakota cities are working under
are SO defective that the new one will
be better, anyhow. But it is well to
look well before we leap. This is wise
thing which every city has not done,
and now it is too late.
