unorganized territory is not taken in.
to account: Having established the
fact the reservation is unorganized

kssIy's Motor, With Which Hs DAT.
He'd Scientists For Years.
The story OF the Keely motor hoax
will live long. Its interest will be en-.
HANGED BY the preservation in the
franklin institute Of the model of
the remarkable motor that Keely built
TO deceive intending investors and en-.
rich its inventor until the fraud was
exposed after Keely's death.
For twenty-five years Keely astound.
ed eminent scientists Of Europe and
America with the machine that hs
claimed had solved the secret of per.
petual motion. The inventor Of this
machine would start his device going.
apparently. by playing a tune on a
mouth organ. he convinced many
clever men that be told the truth. and
stock In the new concern sold freely.
TO the day of his death Keely de-
clared that bis discovery was a gen.
uine one. and 1t was only when the
house in which the machine val
placed was thoroughly overhauled that
the colossal, fraud was discovered.
Keely had wired the walls Of the
building. He ran his machine by high
pressure hydraulic power. When the
wires attached to the machine were
the subject Of investigation Keely
would file them to show that they
were solid and could not be used for
any purpose other than that for which
they were attached.
Pieces Of wire thus filed are to b
seen at the Franklin institute. The
broken pieces show that the wires
were hollow and that the inventor Of
the wonderful motor carefully stopped
his filing short Of perforating the n
ter, which would have exposed the
misunderstanding American.

What may be. said to be the stran.
gest period through which U earth
has passed is the one that was respon.
sible for the formation Of coal. The
planet ia described as having been at
that time flat and smooth as to surface
and peculiar as to vegetation. The
continents were just beginning to rise
above the ocean and the land had not
yet become dry. Mountain ranges had
not arisen from the swamps. and the
atmosphere was thick with fog. In this
state of affairs there sprouted and
ihourished the plants which were later
to furnish the world with its coal sup.

morning he was told to call again at 5
O'Clock.
He did not keep the appointment and
was not seen again until the following
Friday, when he turned up at the office at
$3.50, apologizing for being half an hour
late, owing to his watch having stopped.
He was under the impression that the day
was still Tuesday, and had no knowledge
of what he had done during the interven-
ing time. He recognized that he had not
shaved, but seemed to have washed,
dressed and eaten regularly.

health, but at Port Said he disappeared.
After many months, when he was sup
posed to be dead, his friends heard that
he was in state of restitution far from
where he landed, but he had no recollec-
ton of his movements after he left the
boat. After careful nursing he was ready
for work.
He took a private secretaryship in the
colonies, where he soon proved his ability.

FREAKS OF THE SLEEPWALKER

The many remarkable stories which
have been told of persons falling from
windows, or walking over heights while
in a somnambulistic state are supple
mented by some extraordinary cases
which are related by Sir George H. Saw

One concerns two friends of his who

room Two hours after retiring one of
them got up, seized water bottle. and
hurled it at the head of his friend, smash

to bed and was perfectly unconscious of
the act.
Referring to somnambulistic automat-
ism. the committing of acts quite uncon-
sciously and without any recollection, Sir
George mentions that everybody is sub
