HERE'S ANOTHER.
Now Its Count Who Says He Has Col
 Jared Perpetual Motion.

Now Its a Count Who Says He Has Col
 Jared Perpetual Motion.
 Count Otto von Holtzschuerr of Ot- tumwa, la, claims to have discovered the principle of perpetual motion. His machine is in the shape of an inverted bicycle, the wheels standing high in the air. The front wheel is the one to which the principle is applied The principle is contained in 19 by 12 by IS inch pine goods box A narrow open- ing inside of the box admits the inflated tire of the wheel, and the mechanism inside drives the wheel. The little box is kept locked, but the bicycle wheel driven by the wonderful mechanism in- side revolves from one hours end to the other at the rate of nearly 100 revolu- tions minute.
 Von Holtzschuerr, when asked if a view of the mechanism would be grant ed, said Mot yet The principle is so simple that if any person with an idea of machinery were to see it the idea would be perfectly plain. I can tell you, however, that the attraction of the gravitation does it all. I have weight in that box which in it's endeavor to reach the earth causes a very small number of wheels to revolve. These in turn move the bicycle wheel By in- creasing the weight the mechanism will be given power and velocity, and with it everything is possible. J
 Won Holtzschuerr is about 50 years old and was born at Jossey, Turkey. He traces his ancestry to 103 B. c. The family name was bestowed because of victories won in the war with the Sara cens. He came to the United States in 1867.

A party of New York capitalists went to Rome recently to witness a test of q compressed air motor invented by Rob- ert Harde. It is claimed for it that 25 miles an hour can be made. With a heavy load of freight attached the mo- tor was stopped while running down hill, showing complete control It is as- serted that the motor can be stopped in one and half inches, and that at all times it is under complete control The New York men seemed we'll pleased with the test

Will Tesla Hurry Upa

Nicola Tesla, who is likely to be a greater man than Edison in the elec- trical world, if indeed he is not already, says that he believes that it is possible to have simultaneous electrical com munication without wires between all parts of the earth, or even with the planets. It would be gratifying if MT. Tesla would hurry up and get his scheme in operation, so that we could know where Nansen is. is.-Somerville Journal

QUEER INSURANCE CLAUSE.
Second Adventists Form Company In
 Line With Their Views.

The Second Adventists of Philadelphia have formed the most unique life insnr- ance company on record. They declare ill circular letter that the old line companies discriminate against the Ad- ventists because no provision is made for the payment of insurance when men are bodily carried up into heaven, which is one of their beliefs
 Hence the leading clause in all the policies of the new insurance company is to the effect that when there is proof that the insured man was caught up in- to heaven the company must pay his heirs the face of the policy. The plan of the company was made known by cir cular letters. R. H. Ramsey is the chief promoter of the enterprise.

A COMMUNICATION
acspccting the Cuban War and the Attitude
Of this Country.

MT. DESERT. Me-, April q, 1896.
MY DEAR BURLEIGH:
/ never considered you a man of
warlike propensities but l see by read
ing your paper that you have got on
war-paint over the Cuban affair. Now
this is all wrong. Read the Proverbs
26:17.
Solomon says: He that meddleth
with a strife not belonging to him is
like one that taketh dog by the ears.
Perhaps you will say Solomon is
out of date. But he recognized quail
ties in human nature which are never
out of date. For example courage and
Now both OF these are
sterling qualities but neither of them
should be used indiscrm;nately.
AS an Illustration, one man goes vol
right straight ahead into q
hornets nest Another turns a little
to one side and goes on without dis
aster. The former had courage but the
latter had discretion.
But it was courage mixed with much
folly and discretion tempered With
wisdom.
Now | select the hornets nest illus-
tration because it was a purely volun-
tary experience without provocation or
prospect of reward.
An act very closely resembling our
congressmen's interference with this
Cuban matter
The United States would lose moth
ing, neither honor, prestige. nor ma
teral benefits by keeping right out OF
this matter.
Now this 'meddling with strife not
belonging to us" is a new departure
and st variance with our traditions
and policy in the past.
Our policy has been not ito NEEDLE
with things not belonging to us
The Monroe doctrine is no exception
trne was first promulgated it was
thought that our material interest and
even our safety demanded it,
But long previous to the Monroe doc
trine We We're warned against EN-
tangling alliances with foreign ma
TONS But the proposition TO avoid
alliances with foreign nations logically
involves the obligation to abstain from
interference in the quarrels between
those nations. Hence the long cher
ished motto ito mind our own bust
ness" Now, during all the years that
we have been living in accordance with
this motto. we have considered the
American eagle as our appropriate
national symbol. and on account of our
conduct he has gained a world wide
reputation as u strong. powerful anc
peaceable bird.
Now. consistency demands that We
have the same bird in every emergency
If we are going to have a spread eagle
at Venezuela, and a sitting hen al
Hawaii, and fighting cock at Cuba
who in the world can tell what bird
will be on the roost next? VIII it be
an ostrich, a parrot or a woodpe cker?
You made such a generous response
to my letter on the subject of religion
that I enrolled you as a worthy mem
Der of my church, but l must now
warn you that if you are to remain III
good fellowship with US You must
divest yourself of this war-paint and
adopt attire and sentiments more in
accordance with the Christian code OF
ethics,
Hoping that these loving words from
your spiritual adviser viii make. an
impression on your carnal- mindedness,
| remain yours in Faith, Hope. anG
much Charity,
r. L. GRlND1E.
