THE WHEELS IN HIS HEAD.
A Michigan Man Solves the Perpetual
Nation Problem

Plymouth, Mich, Aug. ga. G. Mott
OF his place, representative OF several
farm machinery concerns, has studied
perpetual motion for several years, and.
according to the verdict OF expert ma
chinists. has succeeded In making an
effective machine. His machine not
only runs itself, but develops power to
some extent. The machine consists OF
a shaft, upon which IL a balance wheel.
Connected with one end of the shaft by
hinged joints are two frames. carrying
arms, which radiate nearly TO the cir
conference OF the balance wheel. The
ends Of these frames form the arms.
and are slotted where they pass the
shaft. To each set Of arms are at
tached. by elbow joints. the weights
which furnish the motive power. Each
ball as IL reaches the top OF the circle
is thrown to the extreme limit OF It's
reach, the one opposite being thrown
by the same mechanical device closer
to the shaft. 1t is believed TO be a prac-
teal solution of the much vexed ques-
ton. although its utility is another
question.
