PERPETUAL MOTION AGAIN.

Until few days ago, the inven-
tors of perpetual motion have been
prevented from completing their ap-
plicatlon for letters patent i'm the
United States 10y the skillful manip-
ulation of one of the rules of the
Office. The Receiver General has
the power to demand a working
model Of any apparatus before it
can he protected by patent,
and it may naturally be
imagined that no such apparatus has
ever made its appearance. But we
have changed all that now, for the
chief clerk Of the Patent Office i'm
Washington has declared publicly
that perpetual motion was an "as-
sured fact" and that at the present
time there are now in the Patent
Office machines which have sufli-
cient power to run themselves from
now till "doomsday," and that "a
machine with surplus power for the
running of other machinery will
come some day, and may come at
any time" The American news
papers express their anxiety as to
whether the practical management
of the Patent Office depends to any
great extent upon the chief Clerk
Industries.

NATURAL gas has been used for
only fifteen years, for lighting and
fuel. Now 27,35O miles OF mains are
used in supplying it, and in Pitts
burg alone are supplied 40,69s pri-
vate houses. and $50 mills, furnaces
and other Industrial establishments.
1t is calculated that the coal used is
100000 tons n year less than before
this natural gas supply was discov-
cred and another consequence is
that the demand for petroleum has
fallen off more than 26,OO0 barrels n

LEARN A TRADE.

The practical advantage to one
who has learned a trade was ex-
emplified the other day in the per-
son of Patrick Gleason, mayor of
Long Island. City. The appropri-
alton for the maintenance of the
water department having run short,
a number of the men have been un-
paid for some time. The other day
they simply said that, if they didn't
get their money, they would shut
down the waterworks. Mayor
Gleason, who has attained fame of
late by his manful attack upon the
fences and other distractions of the
Long Island Railroad, which he
leveled single-handed with an AK,
said that he didn't propose that
Long Island City should be left
without its water supply. He
couldn't force the city officials to ap-
propriate the money, but he hitched
up his trotters, drove to the water
works, and told the mon on duty
that if they wanted to leave they
could leave, he could run the engine
himself, with the assistance of one
or two Of his friends. AS he is an
old engineer, they all knew he
could do what he said. Consequent
ly, there was no strike, Long Islapd
City was not deprived of its wat ,r
supply, and since then the salaries
have been paid up. This is the k nd
of mayor to have.

In addition to supplying crops
with necessary moisture, rain has a
distinct manurial value. At Roah-

with an annual rainfall of II little
less than thirty-two inches, each
acre of land receives every year in
the rain water over fourteen pounds
of pure chlorine, seventeen pounds
of sulphuric acid, and between two

been very neglcctful of his duties. He
has spent his entire time porting over
book, and at times has BEEN 80 in
fatuated with his reading that sew eral
pots Of silver have boiled over aud gone
all over the floor. ~
Tho representations Of the Superin-
tendent were Of no avail. The Major
says he has gotten. hold of book
that contains more wohderful things
than he ever heard of, and written
in ssuch quaint, diversified style
that he was utterly unable to lay it
down. The book although new to
Dennis has been quite popular hero for
years.
It was biblo presented to him by
his pastor Rev. Davis. Every day
Dennis rushes into scme other room
and rehearses what he has read with
great gusto. He told the story of
Jonah and the whale tho other evening
to Joe Ryan and Major Garrard who
pre- tended they had never heard it
and listened with open-mouthSd
wonder.
When they disputed the story Dennis
wanted to bet money he could prove it.
