liver, in the form of work, more
than third of the energy derived
from the burning coal
Now, the idea of the perpetual
motion inventors is that they can
devise a machine which will cheat
nature of its commissions They
expect to set the machine going,
and then see it go on forever with
out supplying it with any energy
to keep it in action. There have
been such machines which worked
for a time, but. invariably, after
while. they fail, and, also invaria
bly,, it has been found that while
they did work they were obeying
the law of the conservation of en-
ergy, so that they were not really
perpetual motion machines at all
Mr.. -Phin in his Seven F'ollies of
Science" has described a number
of these devices. about which you
might read with profit.
Remember, the principle is sim
ply this: There is fixed amount
of energy available in nature Prob
ably there is ten times, or a hun
dred times, as much energy within
our reach as we have ever utilized.
That is for the future to determine.
But. in any case, while we can
turn the energies of nature into a
multitude of different forms, we
can not add to their sum If we
take with one hand we must give
with the other The capital is in
variable, and nature pays no in
terest.
Now, this principle rests on hu-
man experience. No departure from
it has ever been observed. Still, a
philosopher must admit that we
do not know everything, and that
even experience may mislead Our
time is very short and our powers
are very limited. 1t is within the
range Of possibility that there is
some other law In nature which we
have not discovered and which.

Where for half the night there are lanes of light

They put on clothes they sweter in

Workers Become

A very great deal of what is be-
ing done is much of that order.
1t is work that runs in a rut, and
hardly is there any more thought
required in the doing of it than is
required of car wheel in it's move
ment along the railroad irons.
Workers become in that way lit
tie more than human machines,
and, like machines of the other
sort, grow worse rather than better
by the using, to be kept running till
they finally wear out, break down
and are thrown on the scrap heap.
This situation is intensified by
the increasing tendency toward the
division of labor, which is all the
time making the grooves of indi-
vidual service narrower and mar
rover, the ruts deeper and deeper.

The Siren Of Perpetual Motion
Man Still Longs Something Nothing Only
Giving Something and Getting Nothing

U HAVE received a letter from an
intelligent man who is evidently
well educated, except in that
which for his present purpose he
should have known best of all-the
science Of physics. He has a Iucra-
tive profession, and yet he tells me
that he has expended nearly all his
hard won money in unsuccessful eff
forts to perfect a perpetual motion
machine. He asks for advice, but
it is plain that he would scorn the
only advice l could give him, which
would be to either throw away his
machine at once or else to set it
aside until he has mastered the
laws of mechanics. after which he
would be sure to throw it away
without waiting for advice.
Everybody who has the reputa
ton of being scientist" soon be-
comes painfully aware of the multi
tude of the worshipers of this siren
Of perpetual motion. They are con-
tinually asking for advice-and
never taking it, They are like fool
ish. ignorant little fish that can not
be dissuaded from swallowing a
tempting bait which all wise fish
have known for generations to be
only deadly lure.
But l shall. perhaps, be asked, as
some of these same misled invent
ors have already asked me. why
do you. who have said so much to
encourage invention. now denounce
this particular form of it as i'm
possible?"
Wei, do no5 denomce it as inn
possible.
say simply that it is only pos
1 sible in case the whole basis of eN-
listing science can first be over
turned, 1t flies in the face of the
great principle Of the conservation
of energy. which. being interpreted,
means that you can not get some
thing for nothing, and that what
you receive, in mechanics. can
never be more than the exact equiv
alent OF what YOU give

through the influence of the suns
rays. The sun had to pay, dollar
for dollar, for all that stored en-
ergy. The suns pocket is the poor
err for every lump of coal on the
earth. We put the coal i'm a fur
mace and set ii on fire. The locked
up energy is brought out in the
form of heat. The heat passes into
the water in the boiler and inspires
its molecules with unwonted mo-
ton. They yibrate more and more
violently until they are torn asun-
der, and the water is turned into
steam. The pressure of the eX-
panding steam acts against the pis-
ton, and the wheels of the engine
turn. You could not make the en-
CINE go by whistling to it, or by
making cabalistic signs over it, The
one essential thing is to supply it
with energy in a form which it can
use You have borrowed that en-
ergy directly from the coal. and Ill
timately from the sun
When a trolley car speeds along
the track it goes by virtue of the
electric energy which is flowing
through the wire overhead. That
energy comes from a great dynamo,
which is spinning far away, and the
dynamo borrowS its energy either
from an engine, which takes it from
coal burning under boiler, or from
motor set in motion by water fall
inc from height The dynamo
turns the energy it receives into an
electric current, in order that it
may be readily delivered, through
a wire, TO the place where it is to be
utilized. The trolley takes the cleo
trio energy from the wire, and de-
MYERS it to the motor on the car,
and that turns it back again into
mechanical energy which drives
the wheels 1t is an endless chain
Of give and take. But there is

Written For The Georgian
By the Rev. DR.. c. II. Parkhurst

~ EOPLE are educated by the
work that they do; that is,
if it is educating work. and
good deal of it is not.
A good deal of it is work that a
man might go on doing all his life
long, and at the end know no more
than he did at the beginning.
That so much of the work that is
being done is of the uneducating
kind is one of the bad fruits of our
civilization.
1t is work of the kind that is
given to the people that are down
and keeps them down. 1t is en-
ployment that is of such sort that
it gives the worker nothing in par
ticular to think about, to exercise
his mind over, or to be interested
in.
And work that can be done with
out having to think about it ear
nestly and become interested in 1T
deeply never makes any wiser the
man that does it.
For example, man who shovels
gravel does not thereby become
more of man any more than
steam shovel by being operated be-
comes more of steam shovel.
And very much of the labor that
is being performed is of precisely
that character
Consider, for instance, the condi-
ton of a mill operative, a ticket
chopper on the elevated railroad
truckman, a street sweeper, a
seamstress, a bank clerk, pinned
down to one particular, narrow,
repetitious line of service.

Collective Ownership"
Is Chief Feature.
But there is also a good deal for
Socialists themselves to think
about. more perhaps than has been
seriously considered by the rank
and file of the party The Social
list program is simple and easily de-
signed, and, like all programs, en-
counters no difficulty till it reaches
the point of execution.
The fundamental feature of the
plan is collective ownership"
whatever exactly may be the dis
tinction between that and govern
ment ownership"
This much, however. is evident
ly intended-that certain properties
shall be taken out from under in
dividual control and become the
holdings of the people taken col
lectively or of some governmental
representative of the people.
Since confiscation is not con-
fessed part of the scheme-a fea-
ture that would be strenuously re-
sisted by none more than by prop
erty-holding Socialists themselves.
who are more concerned to add to
their possessions than to lose what
they have got-it follows that dis
possessed individual holders are TO
be compensated upon surrendering
their property to collective owner
ship.
The properties thus to be sur
rendered and paid for out of the
collective" treasury include rail-
roads, telegraphs, all large scale
industries" all distributing agen-
cies, etc, etc.
A student who has given more
thought to this matter than most
people has roughly estimated the
amount required for so immense a
purchase at hundreds of billions of
dollars.
Surprising we make a try" al
the matter by calling it 100000
100000.
That would mean a per capita
outlay of $4,000 for every man,
woman and child in the country.
