Perpetunl Motion

The question of perpetual motion has
been solved by an up-to-date philoso-
pher:
Rags make paper.
Paper makes money
Money makes banks.
Banks make loans.
Loans makes poverty.
Poverty makes rags.
Rags make well, you stop here and
commence over again, and keep on
going until the cows come home.

An Oak Tree 10, 900 Years Old


An extraordinary discovery and one
which is Just now exciting considerable
interest in antiquarian circles in Lam
cashire and Cheshire, has been made
at Stockport During the excavations
In the construction OF sewage works for
the town some workmen came across
what has since proved to be massive
oak tree, with two immense branches.
Professor Boyd Dawkins, the we'll
known antiquary, is Of opinion that
the tree is one Of the giants of prehis-
toric times, and he says that the tree
is certainly 10000 years old. The cor
poration of Stockport is at loss what
to do with the gigantic fossil, which
is supposed to weigh about forty tons.
