PERPETUAL MOTION IDEAS.
Efforts Of Inventors Who Strain Ate

Efforts Of Inventors Who Strain After
the Unattainabie.
Perpetual motion, like the philoso-
piers stone. is one of those things reg
ularly sought after. Years ago it 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 ma
chimes are certainly extremely ingen-
ious. One man thought he had discov-
cred a 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 to
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 flow of
the water to the back of the bus. The
faster. too. will the bus rush forward.
At least. so said he inventor. who &C.
tually took out 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 lead ball. and the
inventor claimed that once the wheel
was started The balls on the falling
side kept running toward The circum
ference aud so ontweighed those or
the rising side. which ran toward the
center Once started the wheel should
keep on forever. Unfortunately it al
ways stopped after a few turns. =

TUESDAY, JANUARY is 1912

NEXT to the game laws the subject that
receives most consideration is that of free
transportation over the railroads. First
the companies decided to cut out passes,
and the axe fell on many heads. Then
there was legislation putting certain state
officials on the list. Another year and the
number was increased and after that nu-
mer0us attempts we're made to still fur
thcr add to the ''deadhead' class. The
word 'deadhead" applies very forcibly in
this connection, for there are many who
are allowed to travel free who are no
more entitled to the privilege than those
who must pay their fares. A suggestion
IL now made that the issuing of passes be
left with the secretary of state, who shall
have the power to give out single certi-
fcate which will be pass on all railroads
within the state. This piece of paste
board is to do away with the many passes
that the traveller is compelled to carry. Ii
10 to have attached to 1t photograph of
the person to whom issued. This casts a
reflection upon some who have passes,
but events prove that the reflection is war
ranted. That passes are loaned or sold to
those not entitled to them is fact, and il
lie disgrace upon the person who abuses
the privilege bestowed upon him. The
suggestion of single pass with photo
graph attached is not bad. and the man
who would object to such system would
be open to suspicion.

BIackbuek's Extra Nostril.

Two visitors to the menagerie were
discussing the why and wherefore of
an opening on the face OF an Indian
antelope or blackjack halfway between
the eye and nose One visitor said it
was due to an injury; the other opined
it led to the tear duct.
''You are both wrong" said the keep
er. THAT is an extra nostril for the
fastest running member of the ante
lope or deer family. He runs so fast
that his ordinary nostrils cannot supply

MosLEM HOLY WARS.
Ones Ordered They Are Wassd TN
Either Side Ia Wiped Out.


When a jihad or holy war is pro
claimed by the Mohammedans 1t
means that every male Mosiem from
eight years old to eighty must take
up arms and fight TO the death, if need
be, In defense Of his faith.
When a holy war is proclaimed the
sacred green banner of the prophet,
kept furled at all other times, is loes-
ened to the breeze, and the Moslem
who does not follow it is held to be
forever aceursed. Anybody may kill
him with impunity. His wives, his
children and his property cease any
longer to belong to him. He is cut Off
from all communion with the faithful.
The man who engages In a holy war,
on the other hand, is called "shehid,"
which means martyr" or glorious
one" His sole aim and object hence
forth is to kill as many infidels as pos
sible If he himself is killed In his
turn it does not matter in the least.
His religion teaches him that he goes
straight to paradise, where bright eyed
houris are watching to clasp him In
their arms and acclaim him as ''bravest
of the brave"
1t was because of a holy war, pro-
claimed against England by Gaylan,
sultan Of Fee, that England gave up
Tangiers For twenty-one years this
particular holy war was waged, and
during that time no quarter was asked
or given by either side. To England
it was one long series of disasters.
The worst was that which befell the
West Surrey regiment. Ambushed and
surrounded, this corps was practically
annihilated. only nine men out Of more
than 800 escaping with their lives.
In 1872 again holy war was pro-
claimed against England by Akbar
Khan. the fdvorite son of Dost Mo-
manned. ameer of Afghanistan, whom
England had derosed. The savage hill
tribes rose to man at his bidding,
and the entire British army of occupa-
tion-about 10000 men, including
camp followers-was wiped out of ex-
istence.
The worst Of a holy war is that, once
begun, it can only be ended by one
side or the other being exterminated,
so that it is liable to drag on almost
| definitely.-London Answers.

Some of the greatest advances Of
civilization are made silently. They
escape the flourish of trumpets, while
other much less important advances
are accompanied by incessant drum
beating and pyrotechnics. The diminu-
ton of the death rate is one of the
signal triumphs of modern enlighten-
ment. 1t Is also one of the most po-
tent checks on economic waste. The
average age of each generation is be-
ing materially heightened, and that re-
suit is chiefly being reached by stop
ping the excessive loss of infant life

THE BUDGET of expenses for the county
contains many changes over that of last
year. The appropriation for keeping
prisoners has been increased $500, but 1t
will probably take every cent of that to
maintain the jail as 1t should be. Another
increase is In the item of solicitors salary.
There has been an understanding or a sort
of rule that the solicitor should be paid a
retaining fee of 5000. To this has been
added this year the sum of 81, 900 for
service account" The Children's Home
will get $500 extra. Needing the warning
not to incur a miscellaneous account, 4"
that item was cut from ST. 800 to $1,000
This does not mean, however, that the
item has been wiped out, but that figures
have been added 10 other accounts In or
der to square the matter up. In arrang-
ing tor the expenses of the county offices
the Surrogate is given s., 900 for such pur-
chases as he may be required to make,
while the County Clerk is only allowed
81 $780, General observation would indi-
cate that those two sums should have
been turned around. An examination of
the returns from these two offices show
that the Surrogate put into the county
treasury last year the sum of 1904 AZ
and there was expended on that account
1878. so. This year, taking the receipts
of last year as basis, giving
the salaries, and adding the $4,000
for supplies and the office will leave

If 1t returns the same amount this year,

and then add the 81 800 for supplies and
1t will be seen that the office will be
81, 606 90 to the good. OF course bridges
have to be kept up and the appropriation
on that line was increased $4,000. After
adding and pairing the budget was In
creased nearly $25. 900, but there are
sources of income outside of taxes that

By THE imposition of small fine the
court has shown that it thinks breaking or
evasion of the law by election officers is
worthy of notice, even though there may
not have been any malicious intent. The
officials brought to the bar were from the
townships of Pemberton and Riverside
In the first case it was shown that voters
had been allowed to cast ballot without
taking an oath that they were not able to
read or write. The election officers said
said they were personally acquainted with
the voters and knew of their inability to
do either of those acts. and neglected to
administer the oath. In the Riverside
case the offense appeared to be In not re-
turning the ballot box within the pre-
scribed time, and in not tying it with tape
and applying sealing wax. The box was
locked. however, and the keys sent to the
county clerk. and that practically sealed
the box, for 1t would require three keys to
open 1t. Robert Peacock. who sometimes
appears as assistant prosecutor of the
ants, and his remarks on the subject were
practically concurred In by the prosecu
tor. So positive was the latter that there
had been no criminal intent 10 either case
that no harm had resulted. and that the
offence was merely technical, that 1t is a
wonder the indictment was permitted to
be found. 1t Is likely If the matter was
thoroughly probed it would be discovered
there was some personal spite on the part
of persons living in the;townships referred
to against the members of the election
boards. When the facts we're sifted out
and presented to the court by Mr.. Peacock
and concurred In by the prosecutor this
idea of spite gains force, and the thought
arises that more benefit could be gained
by serious attention to other matters of
greater Importance.
