Through the use of an X-ray another so-called perpetual motion machive has been exposed. It was the invention of J. M. Aldrich, now a convict in Auburn prison, who had succeeded in interesting a number of capitalists in his contrivance. They advanced the money to perfect the machine, which spent without apparent resul lly brought up in jail as a fraud. His machine fell into the hands of the Scientific American. It was not a cumber- some affair, but small enough to fit into a bandbox. After looking it over from the outside the experts decided that it was one of the cleverest frauds that ever drew money from the pockets of the gulleless. It was apparently all that the inventor claimed it to be. "No concealed devices could be found. The experts did | not care to destroy the machine, and | while studyving out the best way to solve the problem the X-ray scheme was sug- | gested. | " The works were Incased in_a wooden | box. This was put under the X-ray, | which revealed the silhouette of an ordi- | nary set of clockwork. The gears were connected with the main shaft of the motor by means of a small rod, extend- ing through one of the posts, two bevel wheels in the top of the post serving to transmit the motion of the clockwork to a revolving shaft and weights. The works, which were inserted in a hollowed out base of the machine, were cleverly concealed. The whole thing was put _together with artistic clumsiness. 'he keyholes by which the clockwork was reached were not of suspicious appear- ance, having been made to resemble wormholes.—~New York Evening World. e He Wasn't Joking. “1 had four days' growth of beard on my face when I struck a little town in Northern Michigan,” sald a civil engineer. “I found a little coop of a barber shop near the depot, and 1 entered it to dis- cover the barber sitting on a bench with his head in his hands. As he roused up I told bim to get to work on me, but after looking me over he replied: “‘If 1 shdve you you'll have to take the chances.’ “‘What chances?' T asked. “ ‘Well, I've been on a drunk for the last week, and am just on the point of seeing rats. 1 may get through with it all right and I may cut your head off. “The rian had a wild look and was all a-tremble,” continued the engineer, “and, though he smiled as he talked, T saw that he wasn't joking. I went away without getting shaved and for the next two hours was busy making purchases. As T re- turned to the depot I looked in on the barber to see how he got along and found him hanslng dead. Just what would have happened had he started to shave me I don’t know, but I've always felt much obllfied to the man for putting the case as plainly as he did.”—Chicago News. ———— Old Cannon Ball.
