This called to mind an Incident that came under our observation a few years ago. We went down to the wharf to ship a horse to the provinces and there saw an elderly gentleman holding a mare by the halter. We walked around the animal carelessly and the man who held her queried, "How much la aha worth?" "Oh, somewhere from 12.50 to $2,500. Been buying?" "Well, you see It waa this way. My son-in-law, who Is a clergyman In the provinces, recently hurled his wife. He has a daughter who la fond of ponies. Coming to Boston on the boat he picked up a paper la which waa an advertisement of a Tery alu-able alu-able mare that would be aold cheap to go Into the country, but the party offering of-fering the mare had a pony outfit which he wished to send to be kept with the mare. The pony could be used for driving and 120 per month would be paid for bis board. "My son-in-law thought the pony might help divert hla daughter's mind from her bereavement, ao called at the place mentioned In the advertisement. He did not want to buy this ma'-j, aa he has no use for her, but In order to get the pony he did buy her and paid for her. They sent the mare here by a negro sometime ago, but the pony has not come, and the boat la about ready to start. We don't know what to do." "Well, my friends, your son-in-law has evidently boucrht a horse. Now 1 promises to supersede steam aa a motive mo-tive power. The Invention relates to the construction con-struction of a gravity wheel, with concentric con-centric rings, secured to arms radiating radiat-ing from the center. These arms or weights act as 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 falling of the weights on the former grade Insures perpetual motion. A cessation of the driving force can only be effected by preventing the weights from falling, and this Is done by a very simple rontrivance In the form of a spring w hich acts on all the weights simultaneously. Taking a wheel forty feet In diameter and three feet wide. It is estimated that It will carry 1.0..0 weights and that the driT-Ing driT-Ing power will be equal to IA43 tons from the center of the wheel. The would not worry about that pouy fau.- It Is prubably safe. The man who aold the horse will look out for the pony. Put your mare on board the boat, and tell your son-in-law to sell the mare as she Is for what he can Just as soon as possible after getting her to her destination." It was a very shrewd way of getting 1 few dollars from an honest, unsuspecting, unsus-pecting, well-meaning man for aa animal that looked fairly well, but waa probably worth more to convert Into fertilizer than for any other purpose. pur-pose. Men who advertise to pay from 120 upwards per month for having ponies and horses boarded In the country coun-try have Tery s'rong strings hltchel to those animals. They use them as enticing bait for hooks thrown out to tatch country suckers. They find plenty plen-ty of suckers who eagerly swallow the bait and part with their hard-earned dollars. The countrymen generally pay from four to ten times as much as a horse Is worth, and Invariably fall to secure the pony or horse as boarders for which the party advertising offers to pay so liberally. THE MOTOR WHEEL, cost of construction Is about one-slith the cost of machinery for steam power, and It Is alro claimed that the new motive power will reduce the working ezpensi-s u;, M.r C(.nt The working model has been subjected sub-jected to continuous tests, as It Is apparently ap-parently capable, like the brooks, of "going on forever." which of course Is what Is expected of an Invention claiming to constitute a solution of ths secret of perpetual motion.

The attempt to use commercial meals for freshly prepared bone can hardly be called a ( success; for the very obvious reason hat the more useful of the products do not keep well In anything but the co.dest weather. At some seasons of the year it Is Impossible to get beef meal, as the dealers will not handle It when It Is likely to spoil on their hands. But the man that has a machine ma-chine for reducing bone to edible size Is Independent. He can nearly alwavs obtain bones that have on them much meat and tbee furnish a bone for supplying sup-plying a little nitrogen and a good deal of lime and phosphorus. Around most homes bones have no use. Yet they can be made a source of valuable food supply. The question is now being raised as to whether richness can be fed Into eggs, and the amateurs are trying to demonstrate that it can be done. One man asserts very positively that his eggs are richer when he feeds very rich foods than when he feds foods not so rich. The trouble with this klad of evidence Is that It U not exact.
