Derby, Conn. Special. Has
he discovered the secret of perpet-
ual notion" asked perplexed per-
sons who see the dry power en-
CINE invented by Joseph Satkaitis
Naugatuck, which, he asserts, will
revolutionize the present methods
of supplying the power for the run
ming of machinery. No fuel, the
inventor says is used to keep the
driving rods in motion, nor has 1t
any gas or electrical connection.
The wheels turn and the drying
rods perform their work with little
noise, and the building is not jar
red in the slightest degree by the
action of the machinery.
Every one who has Inspected the
machinery has concurred in the
opinion that whether the perpetual
motion problem has or has not
solved the engine is certainly o re-
markable Invention. Sutkaitis has
been at work on it for five years.
He has applied for a patent and
has had the machine inspected by
patent attorneys. All that he will
say is that the engine runs without
fuel of any kind and without water
power or electricity, and that it
will run on and on until the ma
chinery wears out. In a test re-
Gently the engine ran steadily for
seven days. He says that the pow
er will never give out.
The engine on larger scale, he
adds, will run any manufacturing
establishment. 1t must remain
stationary, however, and cannot
be used in any thing movable.
The model is seven feet long and
two feet high and there are two
separate engines, one at each end,
with the driving wheel between the
boxes in which the engines are in
closed. To start the engine the in
ventor does something to one of the
little gears and Immediately the
wheels begin to turn. He goes
through the same operation at the
other side of machine and the en-
CINE is running smoothly and con-
tinues to revolve until the inventor
stops it by touching thesame gears.

The Thrice a-Week WO Id.

The greatest newspaper of its
type. 1t always tells the news as
it is, promptly and fully. Read in
every English speaking country.
1t has invariably been the great
effor Of the Thrice Week edition
of the New York World to publish
the news impartially, in order that
it may be an accurate reporter of
what has happened. 1t tells the
truth, irrespective of party, and for
that reason it has achieved q posi-
ton with the public unique among
papers of its class.
If you want the news as it really
is, subscribe to the thrice-a-week
edition of the New York World,
which comes to you every other
day except Sunday, and is thus
practically a daily at the price of a

$4,000 PENSIONERS.

Twelve thousand persons in Vir-

These checks will aggregate some

post-ofice at Richmond the last
day of this month.
Every county and city in the
state will be included in the distri-

These checks are for those al
ready on the list-those who have
heretofore received a pension. Per-
sons who have applied for the first
time this year Will receive their
checks later after the regular Sep
TENDER payments are made. Just
when the checks for the applicants
of this year will be made out cam
not be stated at this time, but the
assurance is that the matter will be
given immediate attention and the
checks will be mailed as early as
possible.

FROM CALAIS TO DOVER BY AIRSHIP.

The unexplained stopping of the
engine of NJ. Latham's aeroplane
while he was trying to cross the
English channel last week has en-
abled q rival to perform the feat
first. NJ. Bleriot, who accomplish
ed the undertaking the other morn
ing, used = machine manufactured
by himself, but resembling in gen.
eral character the Antionette mon
c 'ane with which Latham's at
te npt was made. His chief re-
ward, no doubt, will be the liberal
money prize offered by the London
Daily Mail, Though Latham has
lost this, a similar opportunity will
still be available if the proposition
made nearly two years ago by M.
Deutsch for the encouragement of
the use OF heavicr-than-air ma
shines is still open.
Perhaps the most remarkable
feature of the first aerial journey
from the continent Of Europe to
England is that it was made with
an aeroplane and not with dirgi-
BILE balloon. The development Of
the former has been much slower
than that Of the latter. Heavier
than-air machines, capable of trav-
cling 20 miles with practical GER
tainty were not publicly exhibited
until last year. But in England
and France airships Of the other
type were making trips Of even
greater length in 1902. Spencer,
the English aeronaut, remained in
the air an hour and 40 minutes, and
moved at the rate of nearly thirty
miles an hour in September of that
year. Soon afterward a dirgible
balloon constructed by the Lebau-
dy brothers, who have since built
several others for the French gov
eminent, made a slightly more
creditable flight. NJ. Bleriot's
achievement, therefore, will serve
as fine advertisement not only
for his own machine, but also for
Others like it, several of which have
demonstrated their ability to travel
at the rate of 40 or 45 miles an
hour speed considerably greater
than ever Count Zeppelin has yet
attained.

MANS CONQUEST or TIE AIR


The fcats performed by the "avi-
ators" at Rheims appeals to the
dullesi Imagination. In machines
heavier than the air, propelled by
motors, they have demonstrated
that man has at last solved practl-
cally and convincingly the problem
Of aerial flight that the fowls of
the air no longer have monopoly
of flying, that the ethereal spaces
are now the domain Of the human
groundlings. The exploits of these
SKY pilots" suggest the kingdom
of the fairies. Perhaps that
thought came into the minds of
thousands of Frenchmen when they
saw the "aviators" flying through
space, guiding their machines with
marvellous skill in the face OF q
windstorm and presenting sH'c-
taclc which was thrilling to the last
degree.
But there was nothing surernat-
ural about the ease with which the
"sky pilots" guided their flying
machines through space. They
simply demonstrated the marvellous
inventive genius of the human
brain, the amazing mechanical skill
of man. Americans, Frenchmen,
Germans and Italians have con-
uuered the air with their aeroplanes
and dirgible airsbips. The wonder
is that one of the nations which, i'll
practical mechanics, has long been
in the front rank, has made abso-
lutely no advance in the science of
aerial navigation. British back
wardness in the science of aviation
is almost incomprehensible. Yetit
may be taken for granted that if
John Bull cannot himself invent q
flying machine that will fly, he will
not hesitate to buy and appropri-
ate to his uses the invention of
some quick-witted and efficient de-
signer of aerial craft We look,
therefore, to see our British cous-
ms in the game in good season,
with aeroplanes or dirgible bal
looms made after German, French
or American designs. They have
the money to buy the products of
the inventive genius CT other ma
tons, and they arc practical
enough to do this, so that they
may keep up with t most adj
vanced nations.
The flying machine has already
attained an extraordinary degree
CT development, but it is still COM
paratively in its infancy. In its
present stage it performs wonders.
Mishaps occur, of course, from time
to time. 1t is amazing that they
do not occur more frequently.
what the flying machine will be-
and do fifty years hence is a
thought which fairly staggers the
imagination. In 1850, or perhaps
sooner, the aeroplane may be in
general use. The navigation Of the
air may be no more difficult than
the navigation of the sea. 1t may
be as safe as travel by land on rail-
roads or in automobiles. Then the
air may be literally filled with fly
ing machines either on pleasure or
on business bent. TO that stage
the world is gradually but surely
advancing. 1t will be u marvellous
evolution, but the Wrights and the
BIcriots and the other inventors
and aviators have paved the way
to the era when aerial navigation
will be universal. They have al
ready proved that the fairies are
in danger Of losing their laurels,
that there is no magic more potent
than the inventive genius of the
human brain.
