Problems Men Have Puzzled
Over.

or all the problems that have
puzzled the human race, none have
been 50 hopeless as the famous three,
which are sometimes called the three
~follies of science-perpetual motion,
the philosophers stone. and the squar-
ing of the circle.
And now the news comes that "A
young London engineer claims to have
solved the most famous of the three.
He declares that he has invented a
machine which. without the applica-
tion of fuel or Of any outside force,
will run for ever, or until 1t falls to
pieces with old age.
1t is a problem delightfully."- simple
60 solve. ii only the solutions would
work.
What could be simpler than this, for
example. for running an omnibus by
perpetual motion? Let the weight OF
the body of the bus and of the bodies
that sit on the bus all fan on cylin-
ders Of water placed Just above the
axle. Now, If pipes lead this water
away past the back OF the bus and
then curve round and end in the
background Of the bus. il Is obvious
that the great water pressure is now
driving the bus ahead. ana that the
more passengers there are the faster
the bus will go. In the p~atentec's
plans, indeed. there appears n cow
catcherl but for some reason no bus
of this sort has yet been put on the
London streets.
Another ingenious device, variations
Of which have often been patented. is
a wheel with narrow shelves instead
of spokes, On zach shelf runs a lead
bah. II is claimed that once the wheel
has been started the balls on the fall
ing side keep running out toward the
circumference. and so outweigh those

Railway Accidents in the
United States.

The railways in the United States
which do not kin passengers are
longer than all the railways of Eu
rope. This is a literal statement of
fact. In the three years. 1906-T-S, 316
companies, operating 124,050 miles of
road, did not kill a single passenger.
The passenger mileage Of these roads
surpassed by 1000, 000, 900 the mile
age of the roads in England which
boosted Of a like clean record. In
fact, the length of these railways in
the United States exceeded that of all
the railways in England, France. Ger
many. Austria, Hungary and Italy
combined. The freight trains oVer
railways are a contributory cause of
accidents. and the freight ION mileage
OF the American railways with =.
clean of all fatality for three years
together exceeds That Of the countries
of Europe named above, with Japan,
Argentina and Australia thrown in.
The figures for 1909 are incomplete,
hut the bureau OF railway news of
Chicago has received returns enabling
it to state that 40 roads, operating
l53, 600 miles of railway. have
kept their score clean. Ten other COM
panies. operating $4,000 miles, were so
unfortunate as to kill each a single
passenger. The clean score of $4,000
miles OF BrltlSn ldliNdN StehhS Hot
very extraordinary when compared
with the deaths of only ten passen-
gers upon a mileage exceedingly all
Europe combined.
II is n pity that this fine record. X
tending through several years. began
to be hlemished in the closing months
Of 1909. All the artificial aids to safety
were certainly better than in the
for which the score was clean.

United States in 1908 was %s46s.2 ,455
which was 500, 600 600 less than dur
ing the preceding year. The reduction
was due to the financial panic OF 1907

amounting to more than $1,000. 000,-

for years has been aiming quietly to
obtain complete possession Of this trc-
mcndous market.
Various causes have operated
against the commercial supremacy Of
thu United states in the southern con-
tinent. The first and most important
has been the lack of direct commune
cation. The second has been the abb
lsence OF banking facilities. Measures
have been taken to overcome the lat
ter through the creation of a Latin
American bank, financed by United
States capital.
, Toward providing direct communi-
