ELF-PROPELLING MACHINE.
Messrs. Glenn and Sweet Have
Applied for Patent on Machine
That PropelS Itself.

Hon. Il. L. Glenn left last Mon
day morning for Washington fol
Washington for the purpose of OBJ
tanning patent on self propelline
motor, which he and c. N. Sweet
have been working on for some
weeks past. We were not permitted
to view the model which Mr.. Glenn
took with him and therefore cannot
give "a lucid description of the
motor. However, the principle up
on which the motor works is said to
be very simple and the only wonder
is that some one Of the thousands
who have been endeavoring to solve
perpetual motion IN the ages pas,
has not conceived this principle
long ago. Mr.. Glenn has given the
slbject Of perpetual motion a grea,
deal of study for some years, and
only about two months ago there
suddenly came to his mind the idea
by which .he model was afterwards
constructed. lie at once enlisted
the services of Mr. Sweet and for a
month past they have consumed a
good deal of .smidnight oil'' in con-
structing the model along the prin-
ciple evolved by Mr.. Glenn and val
liable suggestions made by Mr..
sweet. The model was given a tes,
and it very easily propelled sew
ing machine and a small lathe at
the same time.
From what we have been told Of
the machine, 1t certainly comes as
near being perpetual motion as it is
possible for the human mind to con-
eeiye or human hands TO construct
There is no doubt but what a
patent will be granted on the ma
chime and Messrs. Glenn and Sweet
are both sanguine that 1t will revol-
itionize the motive power of the
world. The great feature about the
machine IL that 1t can be construct.
ed at slight cost and the power OF
each machine can be increased in
the simplest manner.
After Mr.. Glenn's return from
Washington We hope to be able to
give lengthy and accurate descrip-
ton of the machine.

FLOW OF THE BEAR RIVER.
Data Furnished by Stations Con-
Quoted by Geological Survey.

Stations for measuring the flow
of Bear river, established a number
Of years ago by the United States
geological survey, have been con-
tlnued during the past season, not
withstanding the reduction in the
appropriation for such work made
by congress at its lat session, says
a Washington dispatch.
Bear river rises on the northern
slope of the Uintah mountains, in
the northeastern part of Utah, and
after a circuitous course-ln which
1t leaves Utah and enters Wyoming,
re-enters Utah, appears again in
Wyoming, and makes long detour
in daho-it returns again to Utah
and finally discharges its waters in
to Great Salt Lake. The maximum
elevation of the upper rim of the
basin is $4,000 feet.
The stations are three. The
uppermost one at Dlngle Ida., was
established in May, 1908; the Preston
Idaho and Collinston, (Utah) sta
tions were established in 1899.
The Dingle station is located in a
cut made by the Oregon Shou Line
Railroad company one-foulth mile
east of the Dingle railroad station
and about $50 south of the track.
The guage, which consists of an in
clined timber, is read daily by M.
K. Hopkins. The river at this
point freezes over late IN November
or early IN December, and ice con
ditions continue until late in Febru.
ary, Winter records at this station
are of special Importance in connec-

which disease he had been constant
sufferer for forty years. S.

and WAS therefore nearly 8S years of age.
He was gallant soldier in the Confede.
rate army, serving the entire four years,
and was engaged in many of the closely
contested battles of the civil war.
On August 25th, 1855, he was happily

The funeral services were conducted
at the grave by Rev. Mr.. Crawford, of
Pickens, assisted by Rev. A. P. Marett,
of Westminster. His resting place is at
the Craig family burying ground, at the
summit of hill overlooking the crystal
waters OF the beautiful Keowee River.

Millions Starving to Death in Russia.

st. Petersburg, May 3l.-Twenty NIL
lion peasants are starving to death in
five e'prOvinces of Russia. Hundreds of
thousands have suocumbed to lack OF
food and shelter in the winter just
passed.
An appalling number of babies, esti-
mated at anywhere from 100000 to twice
as many, have perished, beating their
little claw-like hands against,the breasts
Of mothers who were unable to give
them sastenance.
1t has been q slaughter of tho inno-
cents. The exact tale of the famine VIC
Tins Ia not known:
Bread, as we know it, is lacking from
the tables of ton out of eleven families
In the provinces where the famine is
raging. Meat is almost wholly luxury
Of the past.
st. Petersburg officialdom has been re-
ceving reports for months with languid
interest. Gradually the true situation
in the five provinces is becoming pub
lcly known.

Blown Up by Dynamite.

Pickens, June R1.--Babb Brown and
William Hyde, two white convicts OF
this county, were fatally injured in a
dynamite explosion few miles from
Easley. yesterday afternoon and are lying
at the point Of death in this city.
Six dynamite sticks had been placed
under stump in the roadway for the
purpose of blowing it out. The fuses
were lighted, but, after several minutes
waiting, the men, thinking that the fuse
ad gone out, went to the stump to re-
light it, when the explosion occurred,
blowing Brown 20 or 80 feet away. Hyde
was also hurt to about the same extent
as Brown and physicians who are in at.
tendance express no hope for the recov-
cry Of either.
The explosion and accident are said to
have been pure. case of carelessness on
the part of the men who were injured
and that none of the overseers or guards
are at fault.
