Perpetual Motion.

AS is generally known, a perpet-
ual motion machine is one to be
moved by a power furnished by the
machine itself end not from any
source outside of it. A mill or a
clock run by the incessant rise and
fall of the tide is not perpetual mo-
ton; neither is a machine that
runs by the power of terrestrial or
other magnetism or of the wind or
of variations in the weight Of the
atmosphere or by electricity coming
from outside of the machine or by
the force of heat coming from the
sun. A wheel that could always of
itself keep more weight at one side
than the other and thus turn so
long as its materials lasted would
be perpetual motion, and such has
been the form Of most of the ma
chimes invented for the purpose.

The Rasso and the kino.

1t is related of Signor Bagagiolo,
whose big bass voice used to sound
generously at Covent Garden many
years ago, that once when he was
supposed to be representing the
king in Hamlet he was urged by
an intelligent stage manager to ex-
hibit some signs of terror. He de-
clined on the ground that it would
be undignifed in king to be afraid
of anything and continued to COM
port himself with a wooden stolid-
ity which, as his explanation SEEM
ed to show, was intended for a regal
bearing.
On the operate stage there are
not few vocalists with no more
idea of interpreting character than
was possessed by the good humored
bass, and there is reason to believe
that for this cause a good many
regular visitors of the opera houses
have but very faint idea of the
plots of many well known works

SIGNS ON WAGON ROOFS.
One Modern Wrinkle That Came With
the Building of Flats.

"When flats began to multiply"
said a man who lives in one and so
naturally takes notice of things as
ISOLATED with them, s'the owners of
delivery wagons and so on began
having signs painted on the roofs of
their wagons to catch the eye of
those who dwelt in homes above the
street level. They painted these
signs first with the name one letter
under the other, like a spine,
straight down the middle of the
wagon top from end to end. Some
times they painted the name in the.
same location, but with the letters
arranged in the ordinary way, this
making sign that could be easily
read from one side of the street
only. Then they took to painting
the name on the wagon roof in two
places along either side of the top,
near the edge. Thus painted, one
or the other, of course, could easily
be read from either side of the
street.
'In wagon roof lettering the lat
est thing | have seen was on the top
of moving van, whose entire roof
was covered with lettering, in lines
placed crosswise to the top and be-
ginning at the forward end and run
ming, line under line, clean back to
the rear end, so that the vans ex-
tensive roof as you looked down up
on it was lettered like great poster,
and, of course, this was not done
idly, for the van is vehicle that
may stand backed up for an hour or
two in front of a house, and the
poster on it's roof is then brought
where it can be easily read by every
body in the air, along that side Of
the street any way. New York

The EMOTION" Was a Beqqar.

Fulton one time went to see a
perpetual motion machine, having a
friend with him. After sitting and
listening and looking intently for
a few minutes Fulton's sensitively
accurate ear and eye told him that
the machinery showed the recurring
alteration of comparative speed and
slowness which always comes from
a crank turned by hand.
In spite of the opposition of the
enraged exhibitor, Fulton and his
friend seized the machine, jerked
away the table it stood on, found
that a cord led through one leg and
away under the floor. and following
the track into the back yard they
found the motion" venerable
beggar seated on stool munching
away at crust and grinding at a
crank.

How the Sea Retains Its Life.

One of the reasons formerly urg-
ed against the existence Of living
creatures in the abysses of the ocean
was the supposed absence of oxygen
there. 1t was deemed impossible
that any considerable quantity of
oxygen could exist at great depths,
but recent discoveries have shown
that there is no lack of oxygen even
at the greatest depths. The ex-
PLANTATION is that the cold water of
the polar regions, charged with
oxygen from the atmosphere, creeps
along the bottom toward the equa-
tor. from both poles, and thus car
ries a supply of oxygen over the
whole vast floor of the oceans. The
surface water moves toward the
poles, and so great system of cir
culation exists. severe it not for
this world circulation" says Pro-
lessor C. c. Nutting, 'it is alto
gether probable that the ocean
would in time become too foul to
sustain animal life, at least in its
higher manifestations, and the sea,
the mother of life, would itself be
dead"

Riding a Camel.

DR.. Nachtigal, the celebrated
African explorer, was once the guest
of rich Hamburg merchant. The
merchants son, a young man of
somewhat sentimental tempera
ment, said, among other things,
that his dearest wish was to ride
across the desert on the back of a
camel. He thought such a ride
must be very poetic indeed.
"My dear young friend" replied
the explorer, 81 can tell you how
you can get a partial idea of what
riding a camel on the deserts of
Africa is like. Take an office chair,
screw it up as high as possible and
put it in a wagon without springs !,
then seat yourself OH the stool and
have it driven over rocky and un-
even ground during the hottest
weather of July or August after you
have not had anything to eat or
drink for twenty-four hours, and
then you will get faint idea of
how delightfully."- poetic it is to ride
on camel in the wilds of Africa"

Once two gentlemen attended a
temperance meeting and, on return

lane, were thrown out of their con-
veyance. The incident was report
ed in the local paper and the ac-
count closed with the words. 'sFor-

The editor received an angry let

eerned, with request for an apol-
ogy. He was equal to the occasion.
'In our account of the unfortunate
accident to Messrs. -" wrote the
editor, "we stated that fortunate
ly both men were sober. 1t appears
this statement has given great Of

TWO QUEER LAKES.
The Boden Sea In Switzerland and
Lake Wetter In Sweden.

Lake Wettay, one of the links in
the waterway between Stockholm
and Gothenburg, is a beautiful
sheet of water lying in the center
Of group Of lofty hills and is noted
for several remarkable peculiarities.
There is no bottom at one place
at least, none has ever been found
and belief widely prevails that it
is connected by an underground
passage with the Boden sea in
Switzerland.
1t is asserted that when there is
storm on one of these lakes the
other is agitated, and that when the
water in one is low the same con-
ditions exist in the other. There
is also story that corpses in Swiss
costume have come to the surface
on Lake Wetter, and that bodies of
men who have been drowned in
Wetter have been recovered in the
Boden sea. Other evidences are
found in the occasional appearance
of timber and vegetation that do
not grow in this locality, but are
common in Switzerland.
Scientific men, however, dispute
the theory and ridicule the stories
that are told by the peasants. 1t is
admitted, however, by every one
that the extraordinary phenomena
of mirage have frequently been OBJ
served upon Lake Wetter, so much
so as to attract the observations of
the entire population for miles
around, creating CONSERVATION
among the ignorant peasants and
awe and wonder among all thought
full people. Marching armies of
cavalry, infantry and artillery, with
banners and glittering weapons,
have appeared upon the surface of
the lake; churches, palaces, castles
and ships have been seen to rise
from the water and remain in view
for hours; caravans of camels have
crossed from shore to shore within
full view of multitudes of people in
their right minds and without ordi-
nary superstitions.-Chicago Her

The Foot of a Fly.

If the foot of fly is put under
the glass of good microscope. it
may be seen how simple is the con-
trivance that seems able to defy the
laws of gravitation. The foot is
made up of two pads, covered with
fine short hairs, with pair of curv-
ed hooks above them. Behind each
pad is a tiny bag filled with clear
liquid gum, the hairs also being
hollow and filled with the same
sticky fluid. This gum is what en-
ables the fly to walk up walls and
panes of glass and across the cell
ing.

THE DAYLIGHT is GONE.

Come, dearest, the daylight is gone,
The stars are unwilling to thee;
Come, wander, my loved one, alone,
If alone thou wouldst call it with me.
Let US go where the wild flowers bloom
Amid the soft dews of the night,
Where the orange dispels its perfume
And the rose speaks of love and delight.
Remember, love, ] must soon leave thee
To wander mid strangers alone;
At eve thy sweet smile will not greet me
Nor thy gentle voice at morn.
But, oh, twill be sweet to remember
That though | am far, far from thee,

Thy lasting affection for me.

"John," she cried to her husband,
"my sister Jane is dead! know it

But her husband quoted her, and
presently she went to sleep, her
cheeks still wet with tears.
Then he noted the exact hour at
which his wife had had her dream.
The next day, as can be verified
by anybody who is skeptical, no mes
senger of any sort came with a tele-
gram containing the sad news of
the death of her sister Jane, who,
at last accounts, was still alive and
well.
