cially noteworthy.
Various factors combined to
make the Convention a mission
ary occasion. Many distinctively
missionary addresses were made.
| The presence OF several hundred
missionaries helped. so did the
Missionary and educational Ex-
hibit. The realization that the
agency which deals with child
hood is the most potent evangel-
izing force contributed power
fully.
The widespread observance of
Worlds sunday School Day, ia
more than two hundred languages
and dialects, as reported TO the
Convention by cables from varl-
Gus lands, was real missionary
factor. Literally thousands of
sermons upon the religious train
ing of youth seem to nave been
preached upon that day.
For the first time in its history
the Worlds Association tried to |
raise budget for the expenses OF
the ensuing triennium. Tne sum
asked for, S75, 100000, was all Sc

field workers in foreign lands to

The Convention sessions were
too numerous to be mentioned in
detail. On Sunday afternoon
there were twenty-five, and on
Sunday night over a hundred, all
with regularly appointed speak

ton Hall holds six thousand per-
sons and it was packed mornings
as we'll as evenings, and the SIM
sessions often overflow-
ed also. Frequently the Conven-
ton broke up into sectional con.

among the speeches were those of

Of lives and millions OF dollars in

stands prominently to the front in
this age of mechanical progress. But

better than any made by man. IL we
did not have this Sufety velve We

safety valve is the persplrative. or

Saturday had the bank officers de-
sired. Today will see the bank in
full operation in the new building.
Since the day after Christmas; 1876,
the bank has been at Broadway and
Sixth avenue and Thirty-second
street.
The new home of this institution
is to possess certain characteristics
that adapt it more thoroughly for
the purpose than any other recent
structure of it's kind.
The vault rising behind the bank

interior. 1t is 'structurally Quite in

SIZES BECAME MINES.
The Answer TO Perpetual Motion,
According to this Inventor.
(Chicago Inter Ocean)

Is the figure &c" lighter than the
figure "9?" Or, to put 1t in another
way, is the figure 80" heavier than
the figure "6?" Sdll again, will fig.
ures, SO placed on the spoke of a
wheel that such figures will be "9s''
going down and "6s" going up, keep
the aforesaid wheel revolving con-
tinuously without any motive power? ?
These thoughts were extracted from
the mind of man who yesterday
watched what purports to be a per-
petual motion device in full opera
tion. The machine Is the invention
of w. l.. Sanders, 1904 Fort Dear
born building, and he has a copy
right and patent on everything con-
nected with the device in order to
protect his invention from possible
rivals. He does not state to what
use his invention will be put.
The machine is about eighteen
inches high and twelve inches at the
base 1t consists of thirteen glass
spokes running from a steel and
cork axle, and at the end of the
spokes Is a brown glass affair with
the figure 80" on 1t from one point
Of view; from another point of view
it has "6" painted on it.
The machine, so called, Is guaran-
teed to run as long as the materials
in 1t withstand the ordinary wear
and tear. 1t Is inclosed in small
glass frame case, put there to show
that no wires make the device go or
that no other unseen articles are
used to make the perpetual motion
device keep its momentum. The
glass wheel and the glass blown
bulbs with the figure 80" or "6"
painted on them turn to the left
continuously.
Back of the wheel Is card which
is supposed to inform the inquisitive
person who Is wondering why the
wheel turns without any visible
means. 1t reads as follows: "The
"6"going up on the right becomes a
80" going down on che left. The
80" being SO much more than the
"6" overbalances the latter, causing
the wheel to turn continuously"

fully adjusted that they may be NOV
ed with one hand. There are three
time locks. A thin layer of steel
divides the vaults into parts. One
is for currency and the other is for
securities. The wall may be easily
cut through, in case one of the doors
should, through any cause. refuse to
operate.
The electric communication with
the vault leads out of the building

the eastern and northern walls, and
one is entered from the Treasurer's
office, while che other gives directly

Washington, March 10. - Attorney
General Wickersham has filed in the
supreme court the brief of the gov.

which is set for argument next Mon

The brief is one OF the most volum
nous ever filed with the court, con.
sisting of two volumes and aggregat.
Ing l,094 pages, The first volume is

and brief of the law" and contains
an exhaustive history OF the Standard

ment's bill ana the finding of lower

conducted in violation of the Sherman
act takes up about 225 pages.
In volume two of the brief, which is
"a detailed statement OF facts" there
are voluminous questions from testi-
mony In the courts and Investigations.
The most interesting chapter from a
public standpoint relates to the
profits made by the Standard. Oil COM
pany. The facts as to the profits
were brought in fragmentary form in
the course Of the proceedings before
the lower court. but they never have
been glouped as impressively as in the
brief which the government has pre-
sented.

earnings, had earned up to the end OF

The brief says that the pipe line
companies are making enormous
profits in all of the companies, from
1888 to 1906 ranging from 20 to 100
per cent on the capital stock and on
the total assets from 35 to 1853 per
