Perpetual Motion?

Perpetual motion has been the dream
Of the inventor almost ever since the
first invention of any kind was per
fected. Pliny says that in his time
there were machines which the inven-
tors claimed would work, without stop
ping, for an indefinite length Of time,
and In the patent ONCE of every gov
ernment Of the world there are hun
dreds Of devices for securing this end.
One authority states that In the patent
office at Washington there are over
1000 such APPLIANCES, for each Of which
the inventor hoped success. The per
petual motion machines, however, have
never succeeded. and never will until
men succeed In overcoming friction,
the inertia Of matter and Rravitation
and also in finding material that wiu
never wear out.

The Senses of Insects.

With reference to a recent paragraph
In the Nature and Science column, a
correspondent writes to us that the
brilliant color of wall paper In his
house attracted bees. which found that
they had been fooled when they trie'i
to get the honey from the flowers pic
tured on the paper. This does not con-
tradict the paragraph referred to. which
only asserted that the odor Is even
more powerful than the sense of color
In attracting insects. Probably botf
senses play their part in the case.

A New Metal in Brick Demand.

French Inventions frequently call
fnto use natural products which had
previously possessed no practical value.
This is illustrated by the rare metal.

list. Berzelius, early in the present cen
fury When burned. the metal emits d
Light more brilliant than that of burn
Ing magnesium, but until the recent in
vention of incandescent gasburners, In
which the flame Is encased In a metal
lie mantle, no use was discovered for 1t.
Upon experimenting with various sub
stances it was found that the oxide of
thorium, called thorin, makes the best
mantle for such burners, and a demand
being thus created for 1t, the value of
thoria suddenly sprang from almost
nothing mp to $3.50 per pound. Then n
search began for new sources from
which thoria could be obtained. AMI
this search Is not yet finished. Orig
inally the new metal was found only In
certain rare minerals in Norway. Re
Gently 1t has been discovered that the
mineral "monaZite" contains a liberal
quantity of thoria. and monazite is
found in North Carolina, Canada AMI
Brazil. The price of thoria Is now
much lower than II was at first, al
though 1t still commands S15 or $50.

A stranue Exnlosiou.

A singular accident. the cause CT
which Is somewhat obscure, occurred
recently in Brooklyn, New York. Two
men were busy In steam engine fac
tory breaking up an old brass plum
ger" from the water cylinder of n
steamship. The plunger was two feet
long and six inches in diameter. and
Its walls were five-eighths Of an inch
ihtck. 1t was first placed in red-hot
oven to soften the metal. Then one of
the men struck 1t n violent blow with
n sledge hammer. 1t exploded with Il
noise like the discharge Of cannon.
The workmen were SO badly mangled
that both were compelled to undergo
umputation. one losing both legs anil
the other one leg. The accident was
ascribed to the absorption of moisture
In the pores of the brass, and the sub
se1uent turning of the moisture into
steam by the sudden heating In the
oven. The blow of the hammer. II was
thought. released the pent-up force OF
the steam, and thus caused the explo
sion.

OF Course the "NIilitary Editors" Give the
Victory to the Spaniards.
HAVANA March ia hot battle be-
tween the forces under Colonel Hernandez
and the insurgents under MaceO, Bande-
ras and others is reported from the neigh
borhood of Candelaria in Pinar del Rio.
! The insurgent loss is reported to have
been 300 killed and wounded OF the
troops Captain Torroja GuerrOro was killed
and Lieutenant Comas wounded. The
official report also says that five soldiers
were killed and ffty-six wounded. The
details of the battle are rather meager
Colonel Suarez Yuclah left Las Mangas
on Monday Colonel Hernandez was
| ordered to march over to Candelaria. The
march was made in torrents of rain. The
insurgents, to the number of 1000, were
awaiting the advance of the troops on a
farm. AS they came up at rapid gallop
the insurgents opened fire along an extern
sive line which had been disposed behind
the bushes along the road, and parallel
to it,
This proved CALLING and destructive
fire, and the battalion of Tarifa in the
vanguard with section of the cavalry
squadron of Vitoria and the artillery
found themselves speedily engaged Fir
ing then opened on both sides and the in
surgents ran. The columns in the rear
coming into action the whole line of troops
was involved.
The artillery threw grapeshot over the
insurgents, who advanced, maohete in
hand. The movement of the insurgents
was thus held in check, but new forces
coming to their aid they fell upon the
Spanish columns in a fierce attack. This
attack also was checked says the official
report, giving the victory to the Spanish
troops and terminating the engagement
after two hours fighting with a bayonet
charge, assisted by concentrated artillery
fire, which dislodged the insurgents, who
fled in great numbers.
In an interview with General Weyler,
published here, the captain general is
credited with having said that the atti-
tude of the United States congress stops
the normal development of the war. The
interview also places General Weyler on
record as saying that numbers of persons
are joining the insurgents from all parts
of Cuba. and even from the capital Ha-
vana, because they hope they will be rec
| ognized as belligerents. General Weyler
asserted his confidence of the eventual
success of the Spanish cause, but added
that "the contradictory demands Of pru-
dsnce and extreme measures, combined
with the difficulties arising from the ques.
tion of belligerenoy and the elections
may compel HIM Co resign.

inspection papers, ostensibly for the pur-
pose of giving the steamer a trial trip for
the benefit of parties who had an option
upon it for purchase. When she steamed
into the harbor on Tuesday, therefore, no
especial attention was paid her, 1t was
soon observed, however, that number of
strangers were lettering about the wharf,
and their mysterious actions created sus-
picion.
Yesterday local captains noticed the At
lantic City suddenly steam towards Little
Egg Harbor bay, and thence oceanward.
Later in the day she returned and went to
Tuckahoe 1t has since been learned that
the local steamer met the Bermuda, which
came from New York, and that Garcia and
his party were taken aboard. 1t is asserted
that the two steamers were seen side by
side and when they parted each gave a
loud whistle blast.
Recorder Ingersoll, owner of the Atlan.
tic City, denied any knowledge of the
steamer being utilized for Cuban expe-
dition. He admitted that inspection papers
had been taken out, but said it was to put
the steamer in temporary commission for
the officials of the South Jersey railroad,
who intended purchasing it.

secretary Of war,
1t appears that General Garcia secured
the steamer Atlantic City, which has been
for several months lying ut Tuckahoe out
of commission, and transferred his men
and arms to the steamer Bermuda, which
arrived here Tuesday night. The fllibus-
