How He Sold His Story.

An author who had been unsuc-
cessful in getting story accepted,
though he had kept it going for
three years, noticing that the man
uscript was badly worn by constant
transmission in the mails, forward
ed it by express to the last available
publication on his list, valuing it at
$75.
He was in luck this time. The
story was lost en- route, and no trace
Of it could be found.
Some time afterward Il friend,
who knew the unfortunate history
of the story, asked:
"Did you ever get that article OF
yours off,"
"Just sold it'll" replied the joyful
author.
"And how much did you get for
it?''

Oueer Things to Pump.

There are sometimes brought up
by centrifugal pumps-which are
used for dredging, for pumping up
coal from sunken vessels and for
various other purposes-things that
seem strange to be handled even by
such pumps as these, designed to
pump coal, and SO on. An 8 inch
centrifugal pump used by a wreck
ing company of this city to pump
coal with has brought up piece OF
pig iron weighing 36 pounds.
A pump with 80 inch suction
used in dredging at the Mississippi
river jetties brought up two mush-
room anchors, one of them weigh
ing 80 pounds. 1t brought up ends
of spiles 13 inches in diameter and
2Sinches long. Itpumped up sharks.
A part of one pumped up on one oc-
casion was feet long.
Another 8 inch pump used for coal
pumped up pieces of board Is inches

Perpetual Motion.

Scientists have for long time
past recognized the impossibility Of
perpetual motion. About a hundred
years ago tho Academic Royale des
Sciences at Paris passed resolu-
ton that it would no longer en-
tertain letters upon this subject,
and it included with it the quad
rature of the circle, the trisection of
the arc and the duplication of the
cube But in spite of this there were
taken out of England and France
alone during the ten years ending
187Ono less than 119 patents for per-
petual motion. 1t is hardly to be
expected that the chevalier d indus
trie should keep his talents clear
from perpetual motion, and SO nu-
merous swindles have been perpetu-
ated with reference to it.
One of them was discovered in
1886 by famous engineer in Paris.
The exhibitor had his machine upon
a table on a bare stage, but the
practiced ear of the engineer detect
ed the alienation of speed and slow
ness which is invariably present
when a crank is worked by hand.
He and his companion sprang upon
the stage, and in spite of the exhib-
itor overturned the table, and found
a pair of wires running down inside
one of its legs. These, on being fol-
lowed, were found to stretch under
the stage and out to back yard,
where perpetual motion in persona
was found holding a piece of bread
in one hand and turning crank
with the other.-London Standard.
