Screening tho Magnet.

Somebody recently ssksd the New York

Opaque Substances will screen light.
A magnet will attract . piece oi iron.
Put pieces OF iron around the periphery
OF q wheel aud . mssnsI near the per
phery OF several magnets 10 40 outer 60
centric circle. The magnets attract the
iron pieces and the wheel moves until
the iron pieces are opposite the magnets
Bot BY this time the motion OF the
wheel ss in,erposed between the mssnets
aud the pieces OF iron . sheet Oh
As every body knoss, the lines OF force
OF . mssnet csn't penetrate through .
sheet Oh. and therefore the wheel
does not stop when the pieces ol iron
come opposite the magnets, but moves on
BY its momentum until the iron pieces
are, say, one inch from the neIt magnets
By this time the motion OF the wheel
has moved the screens oi---ifom be
tween the iron pieces sni the m'gness.
and the magnets sttrsot the iron giving
new impulse TO the wheel,
So. there is perpetual motion, All
you have to do is to Hnd whst is the

Coal would cease TO be mined, Locomo
,ives would consist principally Of big meg
nets with iron srmstures on the sXles OF
the driving wheels. Such locom olives
could be ran from New York to San
Francisco on nothing except oil for the
bearings,
Ocean liners would be run BY magnet

only drive the screws, bat would also

Every body would hsves magnetic auto

would be nothing to renew and no eI

there would be any electric light and
power mains running through the streets
Every house would have its magnetic
motor to generate electric current Tor
heating, lighting and cooking.
There would be no expense except The

girl problem would be largely solved BY
electriy stoves. Street cars would require
no c.b!ts or overhead or underground
troleys,

With oil this prospect Of glory before
