AN EARLY "PERPETUAL MOTION

MACHINlE.'
A model in the Franklin Institute
which possesses interest as an ex-
ampi5 Of the mechanical frauds which
are constantly being pe.Fetrated, is a
small representation Of the once IA
nous Charles H. Redheher "perpetua,
motion machine This machine was
placed before the public early in th,e
century, and it at one time promised
to make it's inventor rich, as we'll as
famous. The contrivance consisted on
circular canopy supported by four
columns, which were topped with or
namental knobs. Inside these four col.
umns WAS revolving table with a
cogged rim working in a cogged shaft
at one side. On the table were twu
small inclined planes arranged with
weights so placed that as one wou'o
slide down the iEckne Il would lift the
other thus working crank which
apparently made the table revolve. The
machine worked perfectly, and the
thousands of spectators Who watched
its operations pronounced it a solution
Of the perpetua;-mOGon problem. The
public clamor in favor of the wonder
ful invention became 50 great that the
Legislature OF Pennsylvania took the
matter UP and decided that The bene
fits Of such a contrivance should not
be monopoMzed by a slng.e individual
but thai they should be shared by all
citizens cf the commonwealth. Accord.
ingy they appointed a commission OF
experts in 1912 to investigate this set.
acting machine. These commission.
ers, Of whom Isaiah Lvkens was one
became convinced that power was ap-
piled from without, but the method OF
securing thls force remained for somt
time a mystery. AT length it was OBJ
seryed that the attendant who worked
about the machine would each mornina
remove the ornamental knobs at the
tcp Of the columns in order to polish
them. This led TO the discovery Of Z

John Sheehan Killed at GreveIand
Yesterday Morning.
William Mitchell Fired the Shot Which
Ended the Rancher's Life.
The Homicide Said to Have Been
the Outcome of Attentions the
Deceased Had Been Paying to
the Wife Of Mitchell, and the
Tragedy Was Not Unexpected.

STOCKTON, Aug. 4.-William Mitch
ell shot. and killed John Sheehan at
Groveland, a small town on the Yose-
mite Valley road, in Tuolumne County,
this morning about 10 o'clock. The
alleged cause of the tragedy is said To
be the attentions Sheehan has been
paying MitchelPs wife Though Mitch
ell protested, friends claim that they
have been expecting tragedy for
some weeks.
The men met in front of the Grove
land Postoffice, and Mitchell immedi-
ately opened fire. Four shots were
fired by him, and all of them took eff
feet. Either of them, it is said, would
have proved fatal, as Mitchell is such
a good shot that he placed them in
vital spots. Sheehan did not return
the fire, but sank to the grour d and
expired about twenty-five minutes az
terwatd when moved to the house near
by.
The murderer escaped during the
confusion, and secured quite lead be-
He was Deputy Sheriff and Consta-
BILE, and is familiar with the noun
tain country and will not be easily ar
rested. He is middle-aged man with
a young wife. Sheehan was single,
and has been ranching near Grovelapd
for some time past. Mrs. Mitchell is
visiting friends at Livingston.

An Egyptian Army Guide.

Our usual guide in the Gakdul coun-
try was a merry little fellow called
Zeki, very unlike the tactiturn Arabs
one generally meet. He had been one
of the two Arabs who had helped Slatin
Pasha to escape from Omdurman, and
he told me that he was afterward
seized, taken in chains before the kha-
lifa and charged with the heinous Of
fence. Zeki put on an air of extreme
simplicity; pretended to be more than
half a fool; said that he might have
been given a dollar for getting some
stranger a camel, but that he had for
gotten! that he was a poor man, and
dollar was dollar, and SO on. The
Khalifa was completely imposed upon
by these ingenious tactics, said: This
man is an idiot" and let him go.
Zeki had lost his wife and children
killed by the Dervishes-and had
sworn vendetta against them. When
1 first knew him he had just married
again, and had established his bride in
some remote valley in the CLIFF hills;
so, when we were out in that direction.
he generally asked for a few hours
leave of absence, and used to trot off
on his camel to visit her.-Cornhill.

parts of the branches bearing needles
of three years growth, while the last
years growths are also to be seen at
the ends of the combs. Needles on the
white pine grow in clusters of five; OH
the pitch pine they appear in threes,
and the latter tree drops its needles
sooner than the white pine. Pitch pine
cones grow two or three together in 4
cluster. and hang on the tree as long
as three years, even though. the seeds
ripen and fall.
Scotch and American pines have only
two needles to a cluster. These trees,
not being native to this country, are
found only as ornamental foliage IN
parks and gardens. The Norway spruce
so generally liked for Christmas trees
has needles that do not grow in Gus
tiers. but singly along the short stems,
and are not more than an inch or two
long. Their great virtue is in being
slow to fall; often the needles hang on
a growing tree for six or seven years.
Not unlike the Norway spruce are
the black and the white spruce, though
they have longer needles. The red
spruce has dark yellow tinge in it's
green, and the twigS are heavier tnan
in the two other varieties.
The he1nlock and balsam are also
short leaved evergreens and every one
knows the arbor vitae-tree of life
with it's odd, twisted leaves of indie
scribable shape. This tree has ex-
ceedingly small cones of few scales.
The whole family of evergreens and
their many collaterals are all OF great
beauty and of real interest to the stu
dent of nature.

HAD A MINIATURE MINT.
Successful Raid on Counterfeiters
at San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. IA minia-
ture mint with it's propretors, molds
and counterfeit coin, was captured to-
day by Secret Service Agents Hazen
and Cronin, assisted by, Policeman
Coleman of the Central Police Station.
The coiners, Karl H. Kristensen and
Mrs. Mary Terry, alias Mrs. Kristen
sen, alias Nellie Brown, are locked up
at the County Jail, and the molds,
metals, finished and unfinished money
taken from the rooms of the arrested
parties, at 514 Eddy street, are held as
evidence by the Federal officials.
1t is believed by Mr.. Hazen that the
arrest of Kristensen and Mrs. Terry
will put a stop to the manufacture and
circulation of a large quantity of coun-
terfeit dollars, half dollars and dimes,
For many months past the Secret
Service agents and police have been
trying to capture the makers of the
bogus silver but though Kristensen
was suspected of having a hand in it's
manufacture proof sufficient to war
rant an arrest could not be obtained.
When Kristensen's rooms were
searched plaster mC!ds, batteries and
other counterfeiting implements We're
found In an attempt to explain he
said he made coins merely as an ex-
pertinent, his interest in their manu-
facture having been aroused by reading
an article in a newspaper regarding the
arrest of a counterfeiter in San Luis
Ohispo.
Kristensen admits having paid one
Tracy two counterfeit dollars on a bill
he owed him, but insists that he told
Tracy the coins were spurious.
Mrs. Terry is suspected of having
passed the coins.

Indians have slaughtered both women
and children, and that many American
