christened In the presence Of n large

WITHOUT FUEL
This Engine Rass. Furnishing Conider-
able Power.

A new power engine. which is oper-
a,ed without fuel. steam. electricity or
other propeliing force. is the invention
Of ". G. Simons. Of this city. The
machine IL the nearest to perpetual
motion that can be made. and is In
successful operation. The invention is
simple and inexpensive. II consists
Of two upright axiss. between which
steel balls work upon worms. The
weight of the balls forms the power
There Is no fuel. no water. no trouble.
All the expense OF operation is for lu-
bricating oil. and the machine will run
until IL is worn out. without any atten-
tion except to check Ii when not In use
The plan il simple. There lis one up
right axle. about which is eonstructei ]
| worm. arranged 50 that il winds
quite closely. Held against this worm
are case-hsrdened steel balls. kept
there by a groove, out OF which they
cannot move sideways. AT the base Of
this Is cog wheel moving In the same
direction as the worm. and this works
into another cog wheel. which oper-
ates another upright axle, upon which
Is another worm. The second worm
Is only one-sixth the diameter Of the
first one. and the coils of the worm are
four times as far apart. The principle
o fthe machine is that while four balls
are descending on the large worm one
ball is being forced up on the small one
and moves up with four times the rap
idity with which It had come down.
This keeps four balls descending while
one Is being elevated. and after 1t has
descended 1t drops back again to con-
meet with the large worm. There Is
d governor at the top to check the
speed OF the machine. Mr. Simons has
model. very small anair. to which
he has attached u sewing machine. bu,
even with this he finds too much
power. II Ii estimated that these ma
chimes may be made to develop high
power. although the cheapness Of con.
struction would probably favor more
machines and not such large ones
where great power is needed. The
larger and taller these machines tho
greater the gravity and q consequent
increase In speed and power.

which is very ancient. workmen use

invention consists of a laminated steel
mold, pervious to air but impervious to
the molten metal. II produces a casting
even sharper than those from the sand
mold Fourteen pourings an hour can
be made into the same mold. Two men,
with this mold, 1t is said, can do the
work of twenty-seven, effecting an aver
age saving in cost Of production of about
rs per cent. II is the production and
employment of inventions like this which
enables American mechanics to compete

rnE popuLIsr CONVENTIONS.

There is not great deal Of interest in
the Popuiist convent!ors which Will as
semble to-day-one in Sioux ely ard the
other in C1nclnnati-for the reason that 1t
is not believed that they viii play very
imporJant parts In the presidential cam
paign. The National Populistn-tEose at
Sioux Clty-include the great majority OF
Poplnists. They will cast their votes for
the Democratic ticket. In all important
particulars they are in entire harmony
with the Democratic party. They accept
the Chicago platform and are against
trusts and imperialism. The Middle-of-
the-Road Populists are few In number ami
entertain such radical views respecting a
number of important questions that they
will have ticket and a platform of their
own. No doubt they will be very much in
evidence during the campaign, but 1t is
safe to predict that they will be very
much surprised at the smallness of the
vote which their ticket will receive. In
some of the states their ticket will scarce
~ be heard of. and In many others it will
receive only a scattering vote. There isn't
likely to be much enthusiasm fer a ticket
that has not the least chance for carrying
a single state.
The feeling between these two Popul'st
parties Is exceedingly bitter. 1t is prob
able that the Middle-of- he-Road Populits
would much rather vote for Republican
than for a National Populist or a Demo-
crat. 1t is probable that at the Cinciu-
natl convention the speakers will criticise
Mr.. Bryan and the Democratic partly Sc
verely. 1t is not a matter of any great
consequence, however what they say or
do. 1t is doubtful if their party will hold
together after the election next November.
As matter of fact Populism has had its
day. The people are pretty well satisfied
with the two great partes-the Demo-
cratic and Republican.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL BILL

1t begins to look as IL the Nicaragua
canal bill would not be passed by the
Senate at this session. The action of the
Secretary of State in securing an extern
sion of the Hay-Poncefote treaty for
seven months, seems to indicate that it
is the purpose of the adnninistrati that
the treaty and the bill shall stand or fall
together.
The House canal bill was considered by
the Senate Committee on Inter-Oceanc
Canals on Monday, but the public was not
informed of what was done. 1t is GER
tain, however, that Senator Morgan urged
immediate action on the bill. In his opin-
ion the bill should stand on Its merits. He
does not believe in making its passage
depend upon the ratification of the treaty.
1t is the understanding that the bill
will be considered by the Inter-OceanIc
Committee again to-day, and there is a
chance that there will be a favorable re-
port upon It. But even should it be re-
ported favorably 1t would not be passed
unless the administration desired its pas
sage. 1t is expected that Congress will
adjourn in about four weeks, and the
vent a vote upon it during that time
The fact that the Secretary of State
had the time for the ratification of the
treaty extended seven months, indicates
that he and the President are of the opin-
ion that 1t will be possible to secure its
ratification before the expiration of this
Congress. Their plan seems 20 be to make
its ratification a condition for the pas
sage of the bill. They may succeed in
their purpose, but it will take a good deal
OF influence to get the Senate to ratify
the treaty in its present shape. The
amendment which Senator Davis offered
to 1t indicates pretty clearly that there
are Republican senators who do not like
the restrictions on American control Of
the canal which 1t contains.
There is no doubt that the people are
becoming impatient at the delay In pass
ing the canal bill. The bill, II the Sem
ate fails to pass 1t before adjourning. may
play an important part in the presidential
campaign.
