EXCITEMENT AT THE ARMORY.
YOUNG GUARDSMEN EXPLODED A
BOMB, THEN TRIED TO HIDE IN
THE DARK.

Some experimenting young men in
the armory of Company II last night
exploded cartridge that made report
like unto the blowing up of a maga-
zine. Very foolishly the thoughtless
young soldiers then switched out all the
electric lights and refused to answer to
knocks of inquiry at the front door.
Sheriff Finn, who had just retired, be-
gan an examination from the rear of

Bowers and two reporters
Meantime Officer Morgan and a
party of twenty men were banging on
the front door After nearly ten min
utes OF suspense, the fellows inside evil
IDENTIFY realized that discretion was the
better partof Yalor and came out and
explained to the sherin's party. The
fellows acted very unwisely. Two OF
them even ran from a side door of the
building after the report and thereby
incurred the indignation of the anxious
neighbors at the front door.

to Mr.. CoOper's reelection. because, in
his mind. the ex-city solicitor was not
entirely free from interest in other cor
DOrations with whom Council had to
deal. Mr.. Cooper declared that he
would not vote for a man he did not
know thoroughly who might want 5000
or $500 for each service. There, was a
hot argument over the nomination. and
Peter L. Cooper. of Wilmington, who
was named by Mr.. Pagan. was objected
to because. of his interest in the New

The election narrowd down to a con-
test between A. B. Cooper and p. l..

Gamgee's famous perpetual motion
machine, which was patented n few
years ago, was a very clever arran oe.
ment worked by the alternate co1npress-
ion of air and water. 1t really did worl,
for ten hours at a stretch-that is. if ran
but did not work, and would have be n
perfect but for one little thing. That
| trife was the complete elimination Of
| friction However, the machine was a
success in one way, for patent valve ar
rangement, which was part Of it, was
sold by the inventor for the respectable
sum of 100000 pounds.
Scientists have for a long time
past recognized the impossibility Of per-
petual motion. About hundred years
ago the Academic Royale DIES Science at
| Paris passed resolution that they would
no longer entertain letters upon this sub
ject, and they included with it the
quadrature of the circle, the trisection of
the arc, and the duplication of the cube.
But in spite of this there We're taken out
in England and France alone during the
| ten years ending in 1875, no less than 119
patents for perpetual motion. 1t is hard
ly to be expected that the chevalier
dindustrie should keep his talents clear
from perpetual motion, and SO numerous
sWlndles have been pepretrated with ref
erence to 1T. One of them was discovered
IN 1916 by a famous engineer in Paris.
the exhibitor had his machine upon a
table on bare stage, but the practlced
ear OF the engineer detected the alterna-
lions of speed and slowness which is in
varlably present when crank is worked
by hand. He and his companion there
fore spranig upon the stage, and in spite
OF the resistance of the exhibitor, over
| turned the table, and found a pair of
mo- ~ rs
These, on being followed were found to
stretch under the stage and out to a
back yard, where perpetual motion in
persona was found holding a piece of
bread in one hand and turning d crank
with the other.
