MYSTIC DREAM MOTOR
Dover Man Has Operated a
Family Clock for Seven
Weeks.
SECRET OF MOTION FOUND OUT
Young Mechanic Perfects a Model
That is Believed to be SoIu-

Problem.
OF MOTION FOUND OUT

Dover, Del. July 25-Seven weeks
ago Emmit Clark. a poor mechanic. who
lives on Governors avenue, applied his
dream motor" to an old-fashoned fam
lily clock.
Never since has the clock been opened
or even touched, yet it registers every
hour ANA minute with absolute preci-
sion, and the inventor declares that the
motion will meyer cease.
REVEALED IN A DREAM.
II have discovered perpetual notion"
says young Clark, "and this clock and
number Of other small machines
Which are working perfectly show that
what ] say is true
- have no idea Of trying to make a
peipetualmotion machine. | had not
thought Of the matter, but one night
saw in dream the machine which L
have since made.
soon thereafter. in second dream,
saw it again. and observed the work.
ing closclSk. Then / made model, and
have found that in my dream the true
principle Of perpetual motion was re-
ycaled."
FIRST TRIALS DISCOURAGING.
Clark had a practical knowledge of
machinery and iewelry, and decided
that his first experiment must be on a
small scale. He, therefore, applied his
dream motor" to the clock. He sue
ceeded only in damaging the timepiece.
Not discouraged, he repaired the
clock, again applied his motor and found
that it worked. He Immediately boxed
up the clock so that it could not be
opened, and he absolutely refused to
allow any one to look inside the box.
He has completed all arrangements
to secure patent for his invention, and
has induced Senator Kenney to aid him
in the matter.
Clark is truthful and sensible man,
and he is confident that by applying his
patent to timepieces alone he has a for
tune in his grasp, even if he cannot con-
struct machine to do heavier work.

TIBN-TsIN IN RUINS.

Terrible Destruction lii That City

Tien-tsin, July IS, via Shanghai, July
25.-Colonel Bower of the Chinese regi-
ment. Colonel Wogack Of the Russians
and Colonel Aoii of the Japanese will
form The joint provisional government for
the city OF Ticn-tsin which it was re-
Gently decided to establish. They will be
intrusted with the task Of bringing some
thing like order out of the existing chaos.
Since the issue of the proclamation in
viting well disposed Chinese to return to
their homes, a number have come back
to the city, and many native servants are
coming to the settlements, a majority of
them returning to the service of their
previous employers.
The native city this afternoon presents
an appalling spectacle of ruin and desc
lation. The suburbs were completely de-
stroyed by fire, mostly caused by the
shells of the allies on the side facing the
settlements. A curious spectacle is pre-
sented by number of mud novels imme-
diately under the wall where the latter
was most damaged, hardly one of them
showing signs of having been hit.
Inside the city the damage was terrific.
The buildings nearest the wall were most
ly burned and many were literally blown
to pieces by the shells of the allies.
Among the smoldering ruins are many
eharred corpses, which the pigs and dogs
are eating The allies are busy removing
the bodies. but, in consequence of the
great number of dead, many have not yet
been buried The streets throughout the
city are strewn with all kinds of articles
and dozens of Chinese are digging i'll the
ruins for money and other vaIuables.
Most of the houses which are intact or
little damaged display the flags of one or
the other Of the allied forces, the Japan
ese and French flags predomnating.
1t is stated that the Chinese losses
since the troubles broke out are 1000,
most Of whom have been killed by Box
ers and soldiers. This is probably much
exaggerated.
The Boxers are said to he gathering in
large numbers in the neighborhood of the
IIsikon arsenal, captured by Vice Admiral
Seymour's column and now occupied by
n Russian troOns who have suffered sew
cral casualties through 'snipers" con-
ccaled in the woods in that vicinity.
Chinese coming in from the country re-
port that the Chinese soldiers are killing
the Boxers wherever the latter are seen,
giving as a reason that the Boxers de-
ceivcd them into embarking on hopeless
Il struggle.
