PERPETUAL MOTION MACHINES

Che Ever Failing, Never Ending Search
For Such nlechanical CONTINGENCIES.
Closely allied to the periodically re:
curing claims for the production Of per-
petual motion arc the class of exhibit
tions which have been profitable to their
Inventors by organizing companies
through active promoters, upon evil
deuce, for instance, that few drops OF
water can produce Il pressure Of 10000
pounds per square inch, as though this
was tantamount to the performance Of a
Useful amount of work.
Again, there is the line Of pseudo ex-
perilnentation, based upon the oft re
peated assertion that harmony of sound
can set up such motion as to produce
largo mechanical effects, such as the
rotation Of machines, or act with ex-
plosive power in guns. All such devices
may properly be considered as perpetual
motion machines, for in such cases the
power manifested is much greater than
that required for its initiation, and it
must follow that the machine, after
supplying itself with such initiatory
excitement, will have much surplus en-
ergy left over for useful purposes, if the
facts are as stated. In fact, such surplus
energy has been looked for by the pro-
motors, but has not yet SO far revealed
itself as to render feasible the CONSTRUCT
ton Of machines Of practical use and
commercial value.
The means to carry on exhibitions Of
such reputed inventions are obtained
from widely scattered sources. Gener-
ally those who have furnished the CAPT.
tai are not interested i'll the exposure Of
the frauds Or do not realize that advan.
tage is being taken of their credulity,
while those who are not pecuniarily in
terested ase afforded no opportunity to
prove the correctness Of their assnmp-
tion as to the fraudulent nature of the
display. The floating Of such schemes is
much too easy, as the ordinary tendency
OF the human mind is to freely believe
that remarkable results may be obtained
from modern scientific methods. This
faith leads many to venture at least
small Investments, in the hope that
large returns will be realized, and fear
this tendency will continue to exist as
long as faith without reason is domi-
nant in many minds. Professor Cole
man Sellers in Casters Magazine

The waste Of heat:in producing steam

The waste Of heatin producing steam,
even in warming an ordinary dwelling,
is something stupcndous. Wherever the
:coking of coal is carried on, too, enough
gas is wasted to furnish fuel to q whole
.eity. The gas just simply flows into the
air aud burns. It is almost g crime. In
the vicinity Of Birmingham, Ala, enc
is glad to see that coke gas is at last to
be utilized as fuel. 1t has only to be con-
fined in pipes and carried from house
to house i'll the city, as illuminating g.:s
is now supplied. Industrial plants will
10 doubt have tho gas piped to them,
and it can be used instead of coal, to tie
enormous saving of labor. There would
,be 10 coal Or ashes to handle and no
SCOT or smoke in tho air The waste gas.
it is claimed, can be supplied to manu-
featuring establishments at lower rate
than is HOW paid for fuel in the natural
gas regions If this be true, the news
will be godsend to many a soft coal
cursed district. a still further claim for
tho waste coke oven gas is that with the
Weisbach burner it becomes al excellent
illuminating gas. Carrying this idea to
its logical conclusion, there is no reason
why coke should not DO made in the Vi
cinity Of every soft coal using city in
the Union and the gas utilized for fuel

Eow the Daily Routine OF Banking Is Con-
Quoted In harseilles.
We had to make our way through a
crowd occupying a large room Or small
hall in which business was conducted.
This hall was filled with people, scme
<2 whom were there to look after their
own or other people s affairs, and others
OF whom had obviously dropped in for a
casual chat. Almost all were smoking
cigarettes, an amusement which they
shared with good many Of the bank
clerks. When we had got through this
crowd, my friend and host presented his
check at guichet. The man behind the
guiChet gave him q metal disk stamped
with number. Armed with this, my
friend made his way to another guichet,
behind which stood not o clerk but al
ordinary porter wearing the livery Of
the bank. This porter had his hands
full Of similar metal disks. After a
weary waiting ho called out the number
Say, 302-On my fciend's disk.
Then my friend advanced, identifying
bis check BY another number obtained
at the first guichet, and then received
his money, not III tho currency OF form
which ho wished for, but in such shape
as the porter had at hand to dispense
from the authorities above him. Then,
some Of the notes being only locally ne
t,otiable, ny friend had to go to third
guichet to see if they could be changed
into negotiable notes. On occasio ns this
is impossible, and the unfortunate
holder Of the check has either to leave
part Of the money he has como for until
a favorable opportunity or accept what
he can get On the chance of paying it
away or getting it changed or both with
some Of his tradespeop1e. Beyond this
there is no clearing house system. Each
bank makes q charge for cashing check
On another bank, and these charges
practically swallow up the tiny amount
Of interest nominally allowed on a con-
slant balance. And this is how the daily
routine Of banking is conducted in the
first bank Of Marseillos --Long1uan' e
