TIE CIMEX TUMBLEORUM,


bug. to be found in Hooking
county. But I suppose that no
person from Perry county knows
what the cimeX ,umbleorum is.
"Well, hardly
"Then find ont, for hearafter
the Uaweaters don't intend TO
enllshten outside barbarians gra-
tuitously. But as l was sa. ing,
these figures express the power
of The cimeX tumbleorum. Here
is one bringing ball up the hill.
Let us anaIvze him and see the
result. The ball weighs two
ounces. The resistance
ALONG TIE PLANE OF INCLINATION
Is equal TO the dead weight. This
requires four ounces OF power to
roll il once over. 1t is an inch
in diameter and 10 roll it one
foot requires il TO be turned over
four times. During the season
one of them does fiften miles OF
rolling. and fifteen miles is equal
TO 79,200 pounds OR more than
thirty nine tons"
"Good for the cimex tumble
Drum. He is almost equal 10 a
healthy mule"
But that's only one of them.
Now, there are 5000 OF them to
the square acre in Hooking Co,
and the county has an area OF
26S,425 acres. If we multiply
the number of acres by the NUN
Der on one acre we have 81 ,237,
375 900, or over

Grating 79200 pounds of power
This gives the enormous total OF
2.79O, 800, 1OO,0OO,000 pounds OF
the equivalent of 1895, ,4O0.0 .050.-
600 tons. Just think of it-al-
most a trillion and a half OF tons.
There isn't that much freight
moved on the earth in a century
and vet one of the humble IN
habltants OF Hooking County
generates enough power in one
year 10 move it all, and makes
no extra effort either. Why risk
ones life and spend ones money

"In round numbers, then, they
are capable OF generating four
teen quadrillion tons of powerY
"That is just about their capac
ity as l figure it out"
"What are you going to do with
them ~
THAT is what is perplexing
me. I've discovered the latent
power they possess, and yon will
see at glance that they are
of furnishing all the mo-
tive power needed on the earth.
If some man would come along
now and
DISCOVER HOW TO BOTTLE 1T UP
And put il on the market our
fortunes would be made"
