Death of a Man Who Claimed to Have
Found Perpetual M0tion.-Rev. Thomas
Henderson died at his home at Black Horse,
on the 9Th instant, aged "a years. He was
biblical scholar scientist and an educator. g
Mr.. Henderson claimed to have invented
Experimentation machine. He did not claim
to have perfected it to point where it would
be of commercial value, but firmly believed
that he had been permitted through bis inves-
LEGATIONS to get glimpse of the great truth of
nature that will some day make human labor
unnecessary. except in directory sense. His
idea consisted of pendulum between two
large magnets, which had power enough to at
tract, but not enough to hold
He was also a student of electricity, and his
neighbors say that years before the advent of
street cars he wrote treatise on their possible
ity, and urged experiments along that line.
He was also an educator of ability, and was
the author of an English grammar, Hebrew
grammar and an algebra. He wrote many ar
ticles for the magazines on scientifit subjects,
and was always conducting experiments.
He was also a Biblical scholar. ard, although
the greater part of his life was spent in scien-
tific research, he frequently appeared in the
pulpits of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
He was twice married and had two children
by his first wife-Dr. A A. Nicely Henderson
and Mr.. J Frank Henderson. His second
wife, who was Miss Susan 7. Meredith, also
survives him.
