Perpetual Motion.

The radium clock of Harrison Mar.
tiudale. English physicist, practically
gives perpetual motion through the
dissipation of negatively charged rays.
A small quantity of radium supported
in an exhausted glass vessel by a
quartz rod is placed in a small tube,
to the lower end of which is attached
an electroscope of two long strips of
silver. The activity of the radium
causes an electric current minus beta
rays to be transmitted to tho silver
strips which expand until they touch
the sides of the vessel when earthed
conducting wires instantly discharge
then and they fall together. This is
repeated every two minutes, marking
time in beats of that duration, and
theoretically the action will continue
until exhaustion of the radium-in this
case computed to. be 10000 years in
the future.
