As is generally known, a perpetual motion machine is on to be moved by a power furnished by the machine itself and not from any source outside of it A mill or a clock run .by the incessant rise and fall of the tide is not perpetual motion. Neither is a machine that runs by the power of terrestrial or other mag netism, or of the wind, or of variation in th weight of the atmosphore, or by electricity coming from outaide of the machine, or by the force of heat coming from the sun. A wheel that could al ways of itself keep more weight at one tide than the other and thus turn so long as it materials lasted would be perpetual motion, and such has been the form of most of the machines invantwl u for the purpose.

"Well," said the stranger, laying down th money, "if that's all, Td like to jine in. Tve had a few hours' exrjerienca-of this court, and no one can feel a greater ' contempt for it than I do, and I am will tag to pay for it." Green Bag.
