MINES HEAVIER Than SKIES
BASIC PRINCIPLE OF PER
PETUAL NOTION" MACHINE.
Chicago Inventors Apparatus Ap-
parently Revolves Without Visi-
BILE Motive Power.

CHICAGO, September 3O.-Is the figure
'6' lighter than the figure 90? Or, to
put 1t in another way, is the figure 80
heavier than the figure "6''? Etill again,
will figures so placed on the spokes Of q
wheel that such figures will be '9s' going
down and "6s' going up keep the afore-
any motive power?
THESE thoughts were extracted from the
mind Of mar who yesterday watched
what purports 70 be a perpetual motion
device in full operation, says the Chica-
go Inter Ocean. The machine is the in
vention OF w. l.. Saunders, 1904 Fort
Dearborn building. and he has had a
copyright and patent on everything con-
nected with the device. in order to protect
Ills invention from possible rivals. He
does not state to what use his invention
will he put.
The machine t. about eighteen inches
high and twelve inches at the base. 1t
consists o. thirteen glass spokes running
from steel and cork axle, and at the
end of the spokes is a blown-glass affair
CT view; from another point Of view 1t
has the figure &C. painted on it.
The machine. 80 called. Is guaranteed
to run as long as the materials in it with
stand the ordinary wear and tear. 1t is
incosed in small glass case, put there
to show tia. no wires make the device
go CT that TO other unseen articles are
used to make the perpetual motion device
keep its momentum. The glass wheel and
the glass blow u bulbs with the figure
co. OF ''6' TAINTED on them turn to the
left continuously.
Back of the wheel is acard which is
supposed to Inform the inquisitive person
wno is wondering why the wheel turns
without any Visible means. 1t reads as
follows: 1.-The g. going up on the right
becomes a - going down on the left The
o. being SO much more than the g,
overbalances the latter. causing the wheel
10 turn continuously"
Some Of the people believe the card,
others don't, but at least the card is as
near as any one has come to a true solu-
ton Of the problem Of the little wheels
motion.

He then tried to get me to 60 and help

URGES DRAFT FOR THE ARMY
"oNLY HOPE OF NATION" SAYS
GEN. CHAFFEE.
Wants $4,000 or More Men Drawn
Annually and a Reserve Half
q Million Strong.

LOS ANGELES. Cal, September 80
In a speech in which he declared the
hope Of this country lay In compulsory
military service with a permanent sys-
tern o. drafting young men into the army.
Lieut.. Gen. Adna r. Chaffee, retired, ad-
dressed the closing session of the Nation
al Guard convention yesterday. He de-
clared tina; fifty or sixty thousand young
men should b. drawn by lot every year
for compulsory military service and the
same humble: retired into reserve until
the reserve had 10000 trained men ready
at any moment to be called to the colors.
Lieut.. Gen Chafree also spoke with
cutting sarcasm against the modern idea
Of going to war with aeroplanes and
automobiles. II guess he said, that
wien war comes you will have to take a
pack on your back and hoof 1t through
the mud as we did"
Coming from the former head Of the
army, this radical stand for conscription
male profound sensation. His speech
followed scarcely less interesting Incl
dent. The resentment that many national
guardsmen feel toward the new govern
ment policy OF holding immense annual
maneuvers burst out In a hot and exciting
debate. The protest has been smoldering
throughout the entire session.
x00 0uSSLlOu n0I1OQS.
Capt. Frederick w. Stopford OF the
regular army spoke on army ra-
lions and referred to the lack OF Coop
Grafton between the quartermaster and the
commissary departments. Brig. Gen.
Daugherty Of Pennsylvania suddenly
blurted out the question. WAS that the
retson the Boston maneuvers fell down
this summer"
Cant Stamford f,rpod onA s,ta.
Il couldn't say they fell down I should
say that the men went hungry and sui.
fered through the fault of their company
officers. If they had had the forethought
and one emergency ration there would
have been no suffering from hunger"
When Capt. Stopford finished his paper
Brig. Gen. Daugherty offered a resolution
against any further big maneuvers with
regulars. Col. Lloyd OF New York EN-.
phaticaily approved the resolutions Ther
there was a stampede of officers concur.
ring and opposing the proposition. FINALLY
Gen. Daugherty withdrew his resolution
saying:
Anyhow, l guess we have called thi.
matter to the attention Of the War De,
partment."
Gen. Cha1ee Is Emphatic.
Lieut.. Gen. Chaffee in the course of hi,
address said: II believe very little IL
this aeroplane business. I don't believ.
aeroplanes are ever going to win a war
And 1 hold the same opinion Of automo
biles.
IF ever We are to have an adequate

REMARKABLE CLIMB
OF MAXWELL AUTO
Tweive=Horse Power Car Climbs to
Where Mo Conveyance Had Ever
Been After Perfect Score in
Good Roads Tour

What is regarded al the most re-
markabe hll-clmbing feat ever ac-
complished by an automobile was the
run up Stone mountain near Atlanta,
Ga, on November II. The car with
which this seemingly impossible feat
was accomplished was a twelve horse
power Maxwell runabout, the same
which only a few days previous had
won the principal trophy in the New
York Atlanta good roads tour, and
completed the Savannah Atlanta en-
durance run with "A perfect road score.
To give the reader an idea of the
difficulty of this climb it is only neces-
sary to say that Stone mountain is
fully 1900 feet above sea level, that the
summit has never been reached by any
sort of conveyance and that the ascent
is so steep that even pedestrians have
to take off their shoes III order to gain
a fairly safe foothold.
The sturdy little Maxwell scaled the
mountain entirely under its own power
without any special preparation other
than the provision of air pressure by
means of which the gasoline was forced
to the motor. The start from Atlanta
was made about l o'clock and the
ascent itself was made i'm forty min
utes.
In order to forestall any controversies
OF the Cook Peary order G. w. Kelsey
the originator of the run, left the ma
chine on the summit where more than
500 people viewed it during the next
day.

be a question as to which is the most
fearless or capable of riding at a
higher rate of speed. Lingenfelder will
go just as fast as his engine can turn
over, whether it results in doing miles
seconds, while De Roster has long ago
proven that he is willing to turn the
throttle wider open if it becomes neces-
sary to do so in order to win. Time
after time thousands of fans have gone
to the Coliseum to see some aspirant
attempt to defeat De Roster, but up TO
this time they have never been able 10
witness such a spectacle. Although
pressed hard on many occasions TO
keep the head of his machine in the
lead he nevertheless has always proven
equal to the emergency and has al
ways rambled across the finish tape
an easy winner. But these previous
races have been with such men as
Derkum, Mitchell and Samuelson, while
in his race with Lingenfelder today he
is up against a man of entirely new
stripe. Eddie Lingenfelder has ridden
Just as fast miles as ever De Roster
has. and it has only been because
he has never had a chance to do so on
the same track with De Roster that he
perhaps has failed to defeat the French

THE TWO FORDS
LEAVE TODAY
ORDER MAKES CRAWFORD
WONDER
Former Says ain Barn, Being Cleaned
Up by Kid"-Latter Finds 1t
Being Turned Into
Racer

This is the day. The big thing in the
automobile world comes off this morn
ing At o'clock this morning the race
between the two little Ford runabouts
owned by Charles Grder and II. j..
Crawford begins, and the route, as has
been stated is from the office of The
Herald to the OXnard garage, where
the cars will check in and out, and
then back to The Herald Office for final
check and the decision of the referee,
Jack Keogh. The winner of the race
takes the other fellows car.
The hottest thing, however that has
been heard of in doping Off the other
side developed last night. Crawford
met Grider Friday and asked him
"where his car was" Grider said
"Oh, she's up in barn out there, and
have a kid cleaning her up a little.'
Crawford thought no more of the
matter until he had occasion to go to
the office and repair shops of the Ford
company on South Olive street for some
parts he wanted Going back into the
work room he espied car all torn
down, engines out and corps of mas
ter mechanics busily engaged hammer
ing and pottering at the little car.
"Who's car is that?" said the inno-
cent Crawford to the man getting out
his wants. "Oh, that's just a car we
have in here being gone over little" "
would look at the frame and parts Of
the dismantled machine there before
him When looking underneath he no
ticed a we'll proportioned individual
lying on his back stripped to the waist
and besmeared all over with oil aud
dirt. He peered inquiringly further
and discovered that it was Grider who
with almost the entire Ford staff, were
busily putting in the racing cars car"
bureter and giving the machine the
racing overhauing. when Crawford be-
lieved that Grider had his car in a
barn getting cleaned up a little.
Now it would appear that Grider had
stolen march on his adversary and
was really producing racing car
which seemed to tickle Crawford who
called at the office of The Herald last
night to settle the question as to who
should start first. Crawford told the
story and had a hard luck tale, some-
