PERPETUAL MOTION REVIVED

For years it has been a rule in tn,
United States patent office that n,
invention based upon the principl,
of perpetual motion shall be eiyer

congress OF the United States ha,
given official recognition to an in.
vention which comes near enouph I,

cipal specifications of that lons
cherished vision of inventors.
Gaiabod Giragosian, an Armen.

instrument by which, he can draw

and thereby produce power without

Any person who is at all familiar
with the recent progress of science
and snvehtion will understand the
reasons which led to the adoption o
this extraordinary measure. 1t i.
not that the members of the presen
congress are unduly credulous OF
that they have been swept from tn,
solid ground of reason by the claim
of an insane inventor. The truth o
the matter is that it is impossible
for any person to say what are thu
limits of possibility for physics an,
chemistry at the present time. A

the discovery of radium, of X-ray,
wireless telegraphy and telephony, is
cautious about declaring that any
thing in the domain of natural phen

WORD FROM c. L. YOUNG

Prof. Bluck is in receipt Of letter
from C. L. Young who is now in train
ing at Fort Monroe and is with the
9th. training company.
Mr.. Young states that he has been
two weeks at Fort Monroe and that
he is beginning to get a line on the
work. He said that he thought that
they had plenty of work to do over
at Fort Sheridan, but is inclined to
believe that they were on vacation
over there, since realizing what there
is to be done where he now is. The
hours are from 6. A. NJ. to 9:15 p M.
and the work is largely study. Each
student received some 30 books and
pamphlets which would ordinarily
represent whole years work in col
lege. OF course, Mr.. Young is at
home along that line and likes the
work immensely. Here is where his
knowledge of mathematics, survey
ing and general knowledge comes in
good place. He says that it is some
thing wonderful what they are ex-
pected to accomplish there. 1t will
be remembered that Fort Monroe is Q
historical place. There is where the
Merrimac and the Monitor gave ar
exhibition.

The War Office has uncovered a
unique method of evading military

When Sidney Drew, young COM

for each of them as their summons
came to procure exemption certific-
ates. Meantime the hunch-back had
