Has perpetual motion been discovered!
A correspondent of the New York Sun
points out that, in a recent issue of Nc
Cures Magazine, in an article on liquid
air and Mr.. Triplier's process for max
ing 1t, "Mr. Triplier is made to say that
with only three pounds of liquid air,
pump driven thereby certain other ap-
paratus and the heat of the atmosphere,
he has produced, can, and does produce,
ten pounds of liquid air. 1t must fol-
low, then, that with the ten pounds he
can produce thirty pounds, and so on;
thus not only solving the problem of per-
petual motion, but actually producing,
with the perpetual motion machine, a
large surplus of energy above the amount
necessary to operate the machine. If this
is true the Suns correspondent says Mr..
Tripliers discovery leaves far in the
rear the philosophers stone for turning
all things into gold, and perpetual mo-
ton. If true, the discovery adds power
without cost to other free gifts to man
from God, such as heat and light from
the sun, the air we breathe and the rain
which falls on US.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Commercial Advertiser
CRep) says: Martin Mahon won't come
back TO testify against Fayne Moore on
the ground that he is more badgered in
the witness box than he ever was by those
who made badgering their profession. The
treatment of Witnesses often does, and is
intended to, defeat the ends of justice. An
outsider, casually dropping in, would fire.
quently take the witness for the accused.
There seems to be no remedy; assaulting
the lawyer is contempt of court, and rely
ing for protection on the judge is leaning
on a broken reed. The fact that the wit
ness is often more detestable than the
criminal does not affect the principle in
volved as much as 1t affects public opin-
.oa'.'

A Fugitive With a Fortune.

"There died in Kansas City, Kan,
the other day." says George Martin, "a
quiet, unobtrusive, modest, and never
boastfuI citizen He came from Penn
syIvania regiment in 1864, and he be-
came a messenger for the Holiday Ex-
press Company, running from Leaven-
worth to Santa Fe. w. H. Bridgens,
the messenger referred TO, ON one of his
trips had 100000 in greenbaeks strap
ped about his person and secreted in
his clothes. There was no one but him
and the driver in charge Of the coach,
and for days they proceeded along their
lonesome journey without seeing hu-
man face.
When yet many miles from Santa
Fe they we're overtaken by bowling
band of Indians and fierce battle was
fought. Bridgens and bis companion
exhausted their ammunition and con-
tinued the fight with their knives.
Finally they succeeded in unlOOsing
their horses from the stage, and, quick
ly mounting them, fled through the tim
Der. The savages gave chase and sue
ceeded in separating the two men, but
did not capture either Of them. Mr..
Bridgens still retained his treasure, but
he lost his way among the erags aud
canyons, and il was more than two
weeks before he found his way to the
house OF n white man. During all this
time he subsisted entirely upon berries
and herbs. His long absence caused
his employers to believe that he bad
been robbed and killed by the Indians,
and before his return they had made
good the money they had given up as
lost. When Mr.. Bridgens returned
with his precious burden still intact
they were amazed, and so grateful
were they that they presented their
young gent with a handsome token of
their appreciation"

Speed on Railroads.

In poin. Of speed the steam railroad
locomotive has made tremendous strides
in recent years, and its highest records
to-day are not likely to stand any great
length of time, in view of the constant
development of new and improved
methods of construction.
The present limit of speed Of a loco
motive, built especially for the purpose
of making extremely fast time, on the
best lines and ofthe best materials now
available, is not, says the New York
Press, over 100 miles an hour, accord
ing TO Arthur ]. Wood, associate editor
of the Railroad Gazette. Mr.. Wood
says:
"Under ideal cOnditions-such as a
level, straight track, a perfect rOadbed,
no wind, curves or Instructions of any
kind-I believe locomotive can Oe pro-
duced that will run at the rate of 10
miles an hour, but not more .hsn that.
A speed that great would have conf
paratively little commercial or prac-
tical value, except for unusual demon
strations and tests.
"The fastest time automatically re-
corded for a railroad locomotive is a
rate of I02 miles an hour, although
claims have been made for other loco
motives of 10 and ll2 miles an hour.
A slight rising grade would be sufii-
cient to reduce an engines speed ca
paeity to a marked extent, and it would
therefore be necessary TO have the ideal
conditions that 1 mentioned to enable
the locomotive to accomplish the limit
rate of 40 miles. But this speed could
not be sustained for any considerable
distance"

'Thirty years ago." says the Rev.

and was presented by her with theoyer
coat which her husband wore when he
received his death wound. 1t was "a
heavy rubber-faced garment, and the
fatal bullet hole and stains of blood
were plainly visible. / took the pre-
cious relic of the great Confederate hero
back to my home in Dundee, Scotland,

eral Howard, of the Federal army, and
told him the story. He was immensely
interested, spoke warmly of General
Jackson's military genius and superb
courage, aud tinaiiy wound up by say
ing: well, Mr.. Macrae, since you
have this overcoat, think Will have
to give you the one that 1 wore in the
same battle. 1 am not ranking myself
with Jackson, but want you to have
a souvenir of both sides SO he gave
me his uniform coat embellished with
the Federal brass buttons and shoulder
straps. / thanked him heartily, and
after l reached home had them both
placed in the fine public museum at
Dundee. There they have hung all
through these years, the blue and the
gray, side by side, one bullet-torn and
bloody, the other bright and whole. L
propose on my return 10 have the two
coats transferred to the museum at Ed

A VIII in a TrawIing Net.

While fishing Off Cariingford Lough,
on the Irish coast, recently the trawler
Bournemouth, of Milford Haven dredg-
ed up in the net bundle Of papers
sealed and tied with red tape and per-
fectly intact.
The skipper brought them to port,
and handed them to a gentleman, who
found that they purported to be a will
in favor Of Miss Mary Macdonald
and had reference to estates in Ireland.
About ten years ago q claim was
made to the estates in question, which
are said to be worth $500. The claim
failed because the necessary documents
were missing.
It is believed that the papers fished
up from the lough are the ones wanted,
and investigations are being made with
view to handing them over to the
proper authorities.
