New Perpetual Motion Machine

An improved automatic or self-acting gravity wheel is the modest title of an invention by Mr Herbert Rose, of Aus tralia, which his recently been patented aI! over the world, and which, if the claims of its inventor are realised, promises to supersede steam as a motive power. The invention relates to the construction of a gravity wheel, with coacentrio rings, secured to arms rudi atiog from tho centre. These arms or weights act »s balance and driving levera and are so nicely arranged— those on the downward grade being two thirds heavier than those on the upward grade in action— that a natural foiling of the weights on the former gride en sures perpetual motion. A cessation of the driving force can only bo affected by preventing the weights from falling, and this is done by a very simple contrivance in the form of a spring which acts .on all the weights simultaneously. The cost of construction is about one-sixth the cost of machinery foi steam power, and it is also claimed that th-i new motive power will reduce the working expenses 95 per cent. The working model has been subjected to continuous tests, as it Is wppirentlf capable, like the brook, of 'going on forever,' which, of coarse, is what is expected of an invention claim ing to constitute a solution of the secret of perpetual motion.

Wireless Telegraphy.

AN INTERESTING COINCIDENCE

As the Oanard steamship Lucania U ihe first to make aaeof tbe 'Herald's' now wireless telegraph station on ISTan tßckefc Shoals, it is interesting to recall the fact that the first and only news messages sent over the old Atlantic cable id Angtßfc 1858 were from Mr Canard 'o Mr Maclver in Liverpool and concerned two vessels of the Oan • ard Line The Earopa. had collided with the Arabia o2 Oapf Race. No lives were loat, hot the Earopa was crippled, and put into port. Mr Cunard—he bad not yet acquired his title—-desired to allay anxiety aa to the delay in the vessel's arrival, and bis oaaßsage was BBCoesßfally transmitted. Up to that tiuse nothing had passed through the cable except working signals and the Qutßn'a congratulations. The President's reply hud not yeA been transmitted when the head of the Ouoard Line, quick to appreciate find make use of the wonderful new means of communication, sent his message about the collision. Particulars and instraoiioQi were tm% in a subsequent

despatch to Mr Maclver. 4fter inter change of official congratulations the cable broke down, Nearly half a century later the Oun ard Line is the fifHfc to avail itself of the new wireless method for the benefit, of its passengers and their friends It is an interesting coincidence, —New York Herald,

A SEDENTARY LIFE

Brings on a Slaggish Liver. ANOTHER LOCAL PROOF. The Case of Mr. G. HAMILTON.

{By a Dunedin Reporter.)

A story well worth hearing was'toid to a reporter by Mr. George Hamilton, of 18 Muclaggan-street-, Diuiedin. Thosa who have not already heard it will find considerable interest in reading the fol lowing statements: — "For the greater part of my life," said Mr. Hamilton, " I have been used to plenty of hard work, and I think there is nothing like it for keeping the body in a healthy condition. When I commenced to get up in years a bit I thought it time to take life a little easier, so I started shop-keeping. It is really marvellous how the change aii'ec ted me. The ease and comparative lazi ness of my altered career did not alto gether agree with me, for I got terribly stout and my liver went sluggish. My former habitual activity was succeeded by a feeing as if everything was a bur den. I could not go about my duties as I would like to, being hindered by a sense of lassitude and fatigue which precluded all efforts to work from being satisfactorily carried out.® It took a long time to make up my mind what I would like to eat, and after I sat down with, my food in front of me I could very rarely eat it. At other times my appe tite was a little better, but it did not make any difference how small a quan tity of food I ate there was always a Seeling of painful discomfort in the stomach afterwards. Frightfully severe pains between my shoulders also came on, and an. awful ache settled in my forehead. My headaches were often so intense that I could hardly see out of my eyes, besides experiencing a throb bing in my temples which resulted in fits of giddiness. Everything became blurred and indistinct, besides appear ing to rapidly revolve. Severe pains appeared in my loins and at the end of my ribs, sometimes being so acute as to make me gasp for breath."

"Did the excess of flesh you had at tained still remain?" queried the re porter. <§ "Not a bit of it. I was, compara tively speaking, reduced to a shadow. As I could not sleep very well it was only to be expected that my nervous system should suffer, and it did, with a vengeance. My nerves were thoroughly run down and out of tone. Occasionally I got a little sleep but I never felt re freshed after it. A sure indication of my excessive weakness lay in the fact that I was always in a state of profuse perspiration. I could sit down in a chair and still the sweat would run out of me. The morning was the time I generally felt worse, for my limbs ached intensely, and I had a bitter taste in my mouth. My chest felt as though it were pressed down by a heavy weight, and the trouble I had in drawing my breath sometimes can scarcely be im agined. Whether I slept for a few hours at night or not I was in just tha same miserable, drowsy condition all day, a symptom which I can only attri bute, to the irregularity of my bowels. A great amount of agony was caused by the generation of wind in my stomach, which arose to tho heart and made it throb. My mind was over-strained with the thoughts concerning my sufferings, which were becoming more unbearable every clay." -'i "Did you have any medical adviser in attendance ?" "I am pleased to say I did not. I have to thank my own judgment for taking such action which dispenses with the services of doctors. Reading about several people whose health had been restored by Clements Tonic induced me to give that medicine a trial, a few bottles bringing me round splendidly. I could soon eat without any painful consequences, and I slept well at night. Tho fearful pains in my shoulders and loina were gone, and the wind never again formed in my stomach. My head aches were removed, elasticity and vi tality returning to my limbs—all through the splendid properties of Cle ments Tonic. I took a new interest in life, and felt bright and cheerful. Cle ments Tonic quickly put me in the pink of condition, and in order that every one may know these facts you may pub lish them any way you like."

Established 1870. EVERY POLICY GUARANTEES BY THE STATE. The two prime reasons which have led to the extraordinary bonuses which this office has been able to declare have been its ECONOMICAL MANAGEMENT and its ItB MABKABLY FAVOURABLE MOBTALIT* EXPEBIENCE. " The Australasian Insurance and Banking Record" says,—"lt [the N.Z. Governmont office] possesses the splendid advartag* of operating in perhaps tha health last country in the world." To this, coupled with rigid care in the selection of lives, has been due the unprece&entedly low rate of mortality which the office has en joyed. Tear by year the actual deaths have fallen far short of what was anticipated, and the funds thereby caved h^ve all gone to ** swell the profits, which at \»he valuation in 1896 (for three years) amounted in GASH to £225,000 Sterling. Presßnt Funds amount to over THRti MILLION POUNDS. Annual Income exceeds £900,000. J. H.
