Perpe,ual Motion.

AS the term is generally under
stood, perpetual motion is the motion
of an engine which, without any sup
port or power from without cannot
only maintain its own motion forever
but can also be applied to drive ma
chinery, and therefore do external
work. In other words 1t means a de.
vice for creating power or energy
without corresponding expenditure,
This IS absolutely impossible, no mat.
ter what physical forces be employed.
The quantity of force in existence be.
ing fixed, no new stock can be created
and therefore, self-moving machine
is out of the question. The modern
physical axiom, the conservation OF
energy, founded on experimental bases
as certain as those which convince
US of the truth OF the laws of motion,
may be expressed in the negative
thus: Perpetual motion Is impossible

Beneath the blue sky, beyond the bar,
hills
The colors denote approaching night
Like hopes of the heart that the da,
fulfills,
Completing scene of sublime delight
Darkening shades stretch from peak

Blending with the gray sands drifted
high,
Where scorching winds from the
valleys leap
And mitigate their force in the sky.
a hazy hue hangs Ger the canyons
deep,
A silence preyades the fading light
That proclaims the day has gone to
sleep
In the rapturous grandeur of night.
lmmutable hills that stand forever
Like silhouettes against the sky,
Can ne'er be traced so clear and
clever
As when the lengthy day begins to
die.
Vast is the space. profound is the
sight
the transition to behold
When the last of day surrenders to
night
And crowns its end in setting of
gold.
Lower and lower the sun is sinking
Deeper and deeper the shades are
falling
Of dear ones | am thinking and |

The torrid sun has left the arid land

supporter prior to the Chicago con-
yention will take luncheon tomorrow
with Governor Wilson, short time be-
fore the expected arrival of Speaker
Champ Clark. News of their coming
was made public by Governor Wilson
tonight.
Close friends of the governor said
during the afternoon that Mr.. Crane
has transferred his preference from
the Wisconsin senator to Governor
Wilson and would be willing to do all
he could to bring about the success
of the democratic ticket. AS one of
the original contributors, and the do
nator of the largest sum to the La
Toilette campaign fund, Mr.. Crane
helped make possible the senator's
fight for the republican nomination.
His indicated espousal of Governor
Wilson'S cause is hailed by the gov
ernor's advisers as an index to the
sentiment which prevails among La
Follette's former followers.
President Van Hise has been for
years warm supporter of La Toilette
but has held no public office.
1t is not understood that Messrs.
Crane and Van Hise will meet Speaker
Clark here tomorrow afternoon.
Mr.. Clark is expected at 2 o'clock
The governor will sit down to lunch
con with his guests at o'clock and
the conference Is scheduled to follow.
Upon the duration of this conference
will depend the prospects of a meet |
ing between Mr.. Clark an dthe other
visitors.

meet or not" Governor Wilson said
tonight. Nor would the governor an
