he has ABOUT solved the problem or perpetual
motion.
You know that problem; men have worked on it for
thousands of years.
1t is the foolish hope that you get something for
nothing YOU CAN'T. Many men have tried to invent
a machine that would keep going without any power
applied from the outside There is such machine
except perhaps, the universe around About that
we know nothing, and can know nothing >
One English land owner spent fortune trying to Use
over again the power of the falling water in ream
spent his whole fortune trying to get water o the
stream uphill again that he could use pow.r over
and over Two minutes thinking ought to hava told
him that the necessary to raise the water would
be greater than the power produced by the falling water
That is so because when you utilize power you always
lose part of the power in the friction of the machinery
The Mddletown carpenter says the perpetual motion
machine on which he will get patent evil drive
anything that be driven from shaft twenty four
hours day for five years without interruption" 1t
will do all of those things, and many more until you
actually try it out PRACTICALLY.
Then it will be added to the many perpetual motion
machine failures.
About the best that do in the way of perfect
ing motion and the of power is to develop good u
cants oils perfect ball bearings, and especially econo
cal sources of power.
One of these days shall harness up the power the
sun, which is absolutely unlimited. 1t could easily supply
thousand little earths like After that won't
worry about perpetual motion, for long the
roams through the heavens dragging along Nth II,
we shall have all we want by using the flaming
Here is the idea for YOUNG gentlemen and ladies, and
OLD men and women in connection with the carpenters
mistaken idea that he has found perpetual motion
| What applies to machines applies to BRAINS.
You cannot get power out of machine without
putting power INTO 1T. And you get power
Of brain without putting power INTO 1T.
| A machine to along of it's own accord.
Cut off the gas in your automobile and you will "coast"
for some time If you happen to be going down hll as
long the DOWN hill part lasts you will But you
will stop eventually
So with the human BRAIN We start off in youth with
energy and power from ancestors And have also
the energy stored up in the imagnngs of childhood
We go to school college and out supplied with
certain amount of brain fuel and the brain runs more
less well, according to the quality of the machine
through which the spirit works.
Many are foolish enough to think about their brains
What Carpenter Storm, of Mddletown thinks of his ma
chine-namey, that they will on indefinitely without
fuel That's dangerous theory
| To make machine you must put in gasoline or
steam o-something TO DRIVE IT.
To make a brain keep running you must put into it
the fuel that it needs.
That fuel is to be found only in good BOOKS
ton with older, wiser, thoughtful people, CONTEMPLA
TION study of facts, from the tinest living creature
at your feet to the biggest star in the sky at night.
If you don't feed the BRAIN it won't work. although it
may deceive you, with your hearty cooperation into
the belief that it is working.
If you want the machine to CO. feed it with power
you want the brain go, feed it with the fuel which
drives thought.
You may say: "I haven't read serious book in five
years, and am doing pretty WELL" Probably but your
mind is only coasting, slowing down all the time Come
back in five years and you won't be doing so we'll ,
