PERPETUAL MOTION IDEAS.
Effort. Of Inventors Who Strain After
the Unattainaele.


Perpetual motion. like the philoso-
piers stone. is one OF those things reg
ularly sought after. Years ago IL was
proved that the idea WAS absurd. Yet
only a week or so ago another inventor
came forward with a new perpetual
motion notion.
Some OF these perpetual motion ms
chimes are certainly extremely inGen-
ious. One man thought he had disc"v-
cred way TO run omnibuses by them
selves, He had cylinders OF water
placed just above the axles. and on
these cylinders was supported the
whole weight OF the bus and passen-
gers. Pipes led from this water 70
the back Of the bus. curved round and
ended in the back board OF the bus
The more passengers there were the
greater the pressure on the cylinders
OF water and the faster the Cow 81
the water to the back OF the bus The
faster too. will the bus rush forward.
At least. so said the inventor. who &C
tually took out 4 patent for his idea.
Needless TO say. no such buses are
running.
Another Ingenious idea was a wheel
with narrow shelves instead OF spokes
On each shelf was a lead ball. and the
inventor claimed that once the wheel
was started the balls on the falling
side kept running toward the circum-
ference and SO outweighed those on
the rising side. which ran toward the
center Once started the wheel should
keep on forever. Unfortunately IL al
ways stopped after few turns

Wooden Ammunition.

Some years ago civil war was raging
between two Afghan tribes, the Ali
Khel and the Nala Khel. The latter
tribe built great hopes of success on a
cannon of such a size that 100 men
We're required to draw it. A Sikh
trained in British battery was en-
gagged to work the gun on the under
standing that he received 20 rupees
every time he hit the village fort of
the foe. This did not prove remuner-
ative. for, according to an eyewitness,
the ammunition consisted Of "olive
wood balls bound with iron bands,
which have a highly eccentric flight
and are calculated to do about equal
damage to friend and foe" After a
three days bombardment. in which
the fort was hit only three times, the
hostilities came to an end.-LOndOn
