A strange life story is that Of old
Henry Hart. father Of the Third Ave-
nue. street car line, New York." the
downfall OF which short time since
supposedly buried. his millions In the
wreck and left him as destitute, save
in experience, as he was on coming
from London to this country n steer
age passenger fourscore years ago.
But within a week the railroad stock
has taken rise and his capital has
gained over s1.7o0.00o. There are
prospects OF still greater gains and
Mr.. Hart will come out. It Is said. q
big winner.
For decades Mr.. Hart has led her
mit's life and has become known as
one of New Yorks most eccentric mil
iionaires. He is so years Of age. For
the past half century he has been as
devoted to the interests of his road
as a mother to her 1rst-born child.
and has watched the property grow
with the town. From an old stage
line he developed a system that now
spreads It's steel lines through two
counties and carries q hundred million
people a year. This was his life's
work. the concrete product of his en-
ergy.
Mr.. Hart is a little cid man. scarce
ly more than four feet In stature. He
wears u bunchy white beard On his
chin that gives length to his sharp
lined, impcnetrable face. His hair Is
gone. except for heavy curly white
locks over his ears: his mouth Is
broad. with thin. determined lips. and
about his mouth are half laughing
lines that accentuate the sharpness
and size OF his aquiline nose. His
partly closed almond eyes have n mis-
chievous. gnomic stare. and while they
follow you about. you feel that they
give no Consciousness OF your pres
ence. A strange old mana reminder
of old New York. the mystery OF
whose hermit life. even by the few
who have been near him all these
years. has never been quite pene-
trated.
Every day he makes his appearance
In a saloon on Park row and never
docs he fail to attract attention. Men
who know who he Is whisper to their
companions the little mans name He
seema to notice nobody, although he
mutters sharply to any one standing
near him. emphasizing his unintelilgi-
gle remarks by a vigorous. nervous
pounding OF his cane upon the floor.
To the proprietor he mutters q few
words which are received very re-
spectfuiiy. and the old man pounds his
cane harder than ever. Then he goes
over to the long counter where are
spread out the meats and appetixcrs OF
the free iunch." and taking. with
many muttcrinss. as much AZ his
hands will hold. he goes to the street.

Rumbling up the narrow. noisy thor
onghfare the odd vehicle goes, and

WITHOUT FUEL.
This Engine Runs, Furnishing Conidcr-
able Power.

This Engine Runs, Furnishing Conidcr-
able Power.
A new power engine, which is oper-
ated without fuel, steam, electricity or
other propelling force, is the invention
OF w. G. Simons. of this city. The
machine is the nearest to perpetual
motion that can be made. and is in
successful operation. The invention is
simple and inexpensive. 1t consists
OF two upright axles, 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 1t is worn out. without any atten-
tion except to check 1t when not In use
The plan is simple. There Is one up
right axle. about which is constructed
a worm. arranged SO that It winds
quite closely. Held against this worm
are case-hardened steel balls, kept
there by a groove. out of which they
cannot move sideways. At the base of
this is a 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 1t had come down.
This keeps four balls descending while
one is being elevated. and after It has
descended 1t drops back again to con-
meet with the large worm. There is
a governor at the top to check the
speed of the machine. Mr.. Simons has
model. very small affair, to which
he has attached a sewing machine, but
even with this he finds too much
power. 1t is 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,
