Mr.. Ulrich was born in Bavaria al
was educated in one of the a.rirr1-,,
raj colleges, and afterwards roo., =
farming and making farm im,-.
ments. He had seen the small p,
varian streams turning water who's
and the thought had CONE int, bf.
mind that if he could make t,ss.
wheels furnish their own water ana
then run with the water that fbsr
had furnished, the problem Of nor.
petual motion would be solved F,-
years he sought the means. ar
when he came to this country ana
saw the centrifugal pump. then h.
knew THAI he had found wlat he hal
so long sought in vain. Immediate
he set to work 10 get other p717i,
interested. and this he did. gp--i-.
several business men TO put M ssr

demanded that ne get Prof W p
Gregory, of Tulane Univ-rCrv -o
make a test and then they wnl5
invest if ne said it was feasible. Pm
Gregory. unfortunately. with Gala
and unfeeling science, said thar -bs
thing was impossible, but the me,
/ that Mr.. Ulrich had interested ws-s
innoculated with the germ Of psrn-..

stopped by a scientific fact and wen.
right ahead with their investment
! Prof Gregory was seen AMI aSEsl
what he knew about the new inven.
j ton. He said that several months
ago Mr. Ulrich had come TO him VIII

asked for an opinion, and he had tod
him that it was absurdiy .mp1ss.bg
, as it violated one of natures fuD6a
mental laws, and that any money DBL
/ in the scheme would be lost. "A.

power which the water had f7r.
nished. the centrifugal pump voua

back TO the reservoir. Then The

As before and this loss would 90 N
until SO much power mad ben lost
that the wheel would stop Of its own
accord. He said that for the wheel

Prof. Gregory made Thorough
