NEW GRAVITY WHEEL.
Its Inventor Thinks II Constitutes the
Solution Of the secret OF Per-
petuRl Motion.

An improved automatic or self-act-
ing gravity wheel is the modest title
of an invention by Mr.. Herbert Rose,
of Australia, which has recently been
patented all over the world, and which,
if the claims of its inventor are real
lied, promises to supersede steam as
motive power.
The invention relates to the CON
struction of a gravity wheel, with con-
centric rings, secured to arms radiat-
ing from the center. These arms or
weights act as balance and driving
levers and are so nicely arranged
those on the downward grade being

JOHN ]. HEMpHILL.
EX-Congressman's Return to Active
Politics stirs the Democracy of
south Carolina.

The return of John J. Hemphill to
active South Carolina politics is at
tracing very widespread attention in
the democratic party. When TiIlman
rose to power in South Carolina in
1890 Mr.. Hemphill, who was then the
representative in congress Of the
Fifth congressional district of the
state, was one of the victims of the
alliance and the reform movement,
controlled and led by the senior sena.
tor. There is little question that he
would have obtained national recogni.
ton as a party leader.
1t was thought by the friends of Mr.
Hemphill that between Senator Nc
Laurin, representing many views in

ROSE GRAvITY WHEEL.

two-thirds heavier than those on the
upward grade in action-that a natur-
al falling of the weights on the former
grade insures perpetual motion.
A cessation of the driving force can
only be effected by preventing the
weights from falling, and this is done
by a very simple contrivance in the
form of a spring which acts on all the
weights simultaneously. Taking
wheel 40 feet IN diameter and three
feet wide, it is estimated that it will
carry 1850 weights and that the driv-
ing power will be equal to 1,443A tons
from the center of the wheel. The
cost Of construction is about one
sixth the cost of machinery for steam
power and it is also claimed that the
new motive power will reduce the
working expenses 95 per cent.
The working model, says the New
York Herald, has been subjected to
continuous tests, as it is apparently
capable, like the brook, of going on
forever" which, of course, is what is
expected of an invention claiming to
constitute a solution of the secret of
perpetual motion

Dynamite Guns Obsolete.

The board of ordnance and fortifi-
cations has unanimously decided that
dynamite gun batteries are obsolete
in view Of the recent developments in
means of defense. This means that
we are TO have no more of these bat
teries beyond those now in the serw-
ice. AS matterof fact, the dynamite
gun did not use dynamite for firing
high explosives, but wet gun cotton.
The experience Of past years has dis
tinctly shown that batteries Of this
kind do not meet the requirements of
the service.

Brahmas.

These popular birds are wei
worthy of stady as they are very
pleasing and beautiful to the eve.
Its general characteristics we
will now describe. The size of
the bird is very large, with re-
markably small head in proper
ton. The comb is small in size
and is what is called a "pea
comb" that is to say there are
three ridges, the centre one of
which is higher than the two
others. 1t is close down on the
crown Of the head, and does not
move when the bird walks.
There are two quite distinct va
rieties of colors, the light and
the dark, both of which have
probably come from common or
igins. From what we have seen
of the Buff Brahmas we will leave
them out of the matter altogeth-
er. The Light Brahma must be
white in color, with white-edged
neck hackle but heavily striped
with deep black, which runs in
as far towards the neck as possi-
BILE. The wings, saddles and
bodies must have a quantity of
white feathering which is hard
and close fitting. The foot Of
the Brahma stands we'll out and
is we'll covered with feathers, as
well as the entire leg. The tail
of the fowl stands upright and in
both colors the tail is black, a
white bordering however making
it look extremely smart. The
dark variety are black breasted
and slightly laced. The neck
hackle is similar as in IT, H~ht,
the saddle hackle being heavily
striped. In the Brahma 1.-The
black cock tail" is highly priced
This is one in which the two or
four upper sickle feathers turn
away from each other, the result
being very beautiful. This va
riety is a pleasing one and can
easily be kept by the amateur
who has a good space at COM
mand. The standard weights
for Light Brahmas are Cock, II
lbs, cockerel 10-lbs, hen, 915-lbs,
and pullet S-lbs. The darks are
just one pound lighter in weight.
Another variety is the Barefoot
Brahma not yet recognized by
the Standard, They are COM
pletely devoid Of feathers or
feathering on legs or toes and
are said TO be very desirable
The originators claim them to
be pure Light Brahmas, claim
ing to have bred them by select
ing specimens light feathered
and by inbreeding and careful
selections have bred them 50. as
they reproduce themselves as
Light Brahmas with no feathers
on legs or feet They should no
no doubt become quite popular,

c. Latimer, who is typical FepreseD.
tative of radical Organism in politics,
Mr.. Hemphill would have more than
an ordinarily good chance just at this
time to appeal to a large conservative
element in the party. He has taken
up his place in the quiet campaign
which is being waged from county
seat to county seat by the opponents
of Senator McLaurin, and it seems to
be now a foregone conclusion that he
will be one of the chief features in the
senatorial race in South Carolina next
summer.
