Information I. limited.

Information Is Limited.
Not to the inventor, but to others,
has this correspondent been successful
In gaining any Information whatever
the machine. and even then his posted
informants were very cautious to with
hold any Information in the nature OF
a description of the invention. their
reason being the desire OF the stock
holders to suppress any and all fea-
lures of information that might In
any way operate against them in Sc
curing patents In either this or foreign
countries. But those In ia position to
speak with authority. are positive that
there can BIO no question as to the
absolute success OF the machine not
only to operate itself continuously 50
long as It's parts remain in perfect
condition.. but to generate additional
power. which may be used In operating
other machinery and driving sptndlcs
for any purpose for which power Is
now ordinarily applied.
Neyyton's Philosophy Outdone.
The mind naturally rebels against
the thought of an invention that might
by any special or conceived contrivance
overcome the old law OF Newton:
Every particle OF matter in the uni
verse attracts every other particle
with a force directly proportionatc to
the 1hass of the attracting particle,
and inversely to the square OF the
distance between Them
For centuries no scientist has
thought of doubling the accuracy of
this law, and when one comes to re-
call that by mathematical calculation,
based upon such laws, the planet Vul-
can was discovered before the tele-
scope revealed it to the eye, he nat
urally comes to the point of doubling
how Markwood's invention may over
come. and how 1t may carry upward
a weight not only equal to, but sur
passing the weight going down In
obedience to the law of gravity.
And yet. In spite2of this. and in spite
OF the thousands of futile attempts
Ito overcome this law by the Invention
OF perpetual motion, hardwood does
not lack for reputable men who de-
clare that seeing is believing. and who
insist that the inventor has succeeded
in running around this law, so to
speak. by giving to the world ma
chine which operates itself. with power
to spare for other purposes.
DrcameT's Thoughts.

not without q full realization of the
failure of all attempts to heretofore

go before the patent authorities as
nearly as possible without flaw OF
