Perpetual Motion, If the census taker conld have known all the perpetual motion inventors when he went his ronnds in 1880, the returns | wonld show a list quite formidable in | numbers. One of the most persistent of these pursners of the delusion has | recently come to light, and is one Charles Brown, of Corry, Pennsylvania, He is a German, and first conceived the idea of perpetual motion while working | 88 a machinist in Karlesrube, Baden, in 1862. Since that date he has worked at { his idea almost constantly, save barely | earning his bread, He came to this | country in 1867, and is now working upon a machine which he says will weigh about thirty five pounds—and is sure, in his judgment, to succeed, He hag built and abandoned several ma. chines as failures in his labor of twenty { years. This last constrticlion he ex- pects to complete soon. A history of the more important at. tempts at finding perpetual motion, | written by Henry Dircks, was printed in London, in 1870. It is stated that | Wilars de Honecourt, an architect of the fifteenth century, made the first | attempt so far as is known to master | the question by a mechanical contriv- | ance. Capars, in 1678, undertook the | problem and failed. The Marquis of Wooster made a labored attempt to ac- | complish the motion, and his machine | has considerable historical prominence | on account of the rank of the inventor. | Probably he exhibited no more skill | than hundreds of others of less noe, of whom the public have never heard, It is a fact, donbtless, that some im- portant inventions have resulted from the endeavor to solve the problem of | perpetual motion, The mechanic who stopped when he found something prac- tioal—and left the impractical —the im- possible, alone, for a real invention, was wise, The great maiority of work- ers of the problem have. however, fol- lowed the one idea, and their machines have died with them. The endless chains, the balls, the pulleys, all fail in producing the result desired. The doc- trine of the conservation of forces seems to demonstrate completely the impossibility of mechanical perpetual motion; but it is likely the world will hear of the enthusastic workers at the problem for a long time to come. It is not probable that all the laws of motion will be proved a fallacy though enthu- siasts continue to discass the theme- and mechanics continue to work at the problem, — Rochester Democrat, i No patent Fequired to catch the rheuma- tism.

Won the Race, The groat vase is over; the shamplons have returned from the arena; one by one the lights have gone out in Madison Bquare Garden; the sporting fraternity now sum up their gains or losses, as the case may be, and the only ques tion now to be decided is, how the race was won, This we propose to show, We are going to prick the bubble; we are golng to eonduct our readers behind the scenes and prove to them how Hagacl, now the world's champ ion pedestrian, became such, Before we proceed to do so, let us first take a retrospective glance over the fisld and cham- pions, Out of the ten champions who entered the lists, four retired weary and disgusted; the remaining six, although handicapped with ail- ments, remained to peg the sawdust to the bit. ter end, snd perform wonders in pedesirisnism by eclipsing any and all previous scores Af precisely half-past § on the morning of March 8, Rowell retired from the track after scoring 41524 miles. Those who were posted attributed his collapse to several causes--some alaiming that he was overtrained; others that he overexorted himsslf in an earlier stage of the contest, Be this as it may, the resson fs now plain to us, and we propose to give it, sas 's warning to coming pedestrians and to sporting men who will in future stake their money on races of this class. Rewell removed, Hazasl was placed in the best possible position, Who is Hassel, the winner? George Haszasl was born in london March 22 1845. He is five feel six and a half inches in height, snd waighs 122 pounds. He is the recognized cham- pion runner of England, from six to fifty miles, and haa the following best on records mads in six-day meees: Four hours, 83 miles 1.650 yards; 5 hours, 40 miles 1,100 yards; 6 hours, T miles 1,210 yards; 7 hours, 84 miles 935 yards, sll made April 21, 1879; and 8 hours, 64 miles 850 yarde; 9 hours, 68 miles 880 yards; 10 His best performances are: London, No- vember 4 to §, 1878, six-day go-as-you-pleass, won at 4033, miles, beating 23 others. Bame place, April 21 to 26, 1879, second race for six. day championship of England; finished second to Blower Brown with 492 miles.

Henow caps the pinnscle with six hundred and a half miles, and comes off winner of ninetesn thousand work; and why? The writer of this, who is an “old-timer” (to make use of a pedestrian ex. pression), and bas assisted at several walking wailed on Mr, George Hassel, the world's champion, in bis cabin, immedistely at the close of the race, He was one of the fa- vored fow who were permitted to enter, and he matohes, was won, He imparted his ideas to Mr. Harry Yaughan, a gentleman who came from London, England, five weeks ago, purposely to aot as trainer for Mr, Hazael, That gentleman spoke freely, and bade the scribe meet him at Joe Bowler's Ram's Head Hotel, Gresnpoint, L. I, on the following day, and see Mr. Hazael in reference to the matter, In accordance there- Mr. Harael was found to be in ex- cellent condition, and had just pariaken of a splendid dinner, and was preparing for his af- ternoon siesta. After some introductory re- marks, the writer observed: “George, when i eutered your cabin at the close of the race last pight, my olfaetories were pleasantly assailed andfmy vision greeted ihe former by smelling St. Jacobs Oil, the latier by seeing it, “| came to ask Uf the world's champion racer had found the world’s champion remedy the proper thing for his valuable limbs “80,” said Mr, Hazael, laughing, “you saw my stock of BL Jacobs Oi, did you? Itisa wonderful medicine, sir, wonderful! 1 do not know what pedestrians would do without it; it is their beat friend. A rub of BL Jaosobs Oil after leaving the track makes a now man of one, and fits him again for the contest.” Mr, Henry Vaughan, who was standing by, broke in at this joncture as follows: “I was never so surprised at anything in my life ss [ was 10 see the effect of BL Jacobs Oil on George. It did George a power of good, and but for its use he might have had a different ending. “Ye ™ exch dmed Jos Bowler, just entering with a bot. tie of Piper Heldslock, * you csn safely say that 81, Jacobs Oil won the race for the champion, made a fortune for Mr, Hazael and prepared him to win the greatest race on record.” The secret was out; and Mr, George Hazael, a Briton of whom all England may be justly proud, and of whom Americas is justly proud also, has shown not only phenomenal endurance to such an extent that it awakens our wonder and sur prise, but be bas shown that he tempers wis. dom with pluck and energy; that he not only knows bow to “go.” but that be knows what is best for him while going. Mr. Hassel has won for himself fairly, honestly, and above board the title of Champion Walker of the World George is a perfect gentleman, and in his pleas. ant manner awards the championship to Be Jacobse Oil, the great German Remedy, over all other remedies, Mr. Bowler is willing to back Mr. Hamel in any sum from $1,000 to $5,000 against any man in the world, for 100 miles running, snd give the opponent five miles out of the 100.

Mitchell, of New York, ia a lecture on the ** Brain and Its Won- ders,” said that the cerebellum of the brain presided over the organ of motion, and that it could be removed from ani mals without taking away their intelli gence. The effect, however, would be that they could not move. The same symptoms, he said, could be observed in man under the influence of alcohol. If the latter takes too much of the stimulant his cerebellum and the little cells of which it is composed refuse to do their work and the man staggers He claimed that a person learning to play on the piano and a lady threading a needle were regulated by their cere- bellum, and without its assistance could do neither. He said that the medulla oblongata was the most vital part of the whole system, and if run through with » knife life would be destroyed in an instant. Advantage has been taken of this in the process of hanging people, and the garrote had been introduced on the same princival. He claimed that the brain could not get along without nerves and that it had twelve pairs of them, The first three nerves were of special sense—olfactory, optic and aun ditory. The olfactory nerve was not very well defined in man, as it was not necessary, but it reached its highest development in dogs, cats and rats, It was more perceptible in the rat than in any other animal, and the bloodhound came next in order. After describing the optic nerve the lecturer said that the sense of hearing was less developed inman than in the animal. He con. tanded that if either of the three nerves mentioned were cut there would be no sense of pain and that the only result would be the destruction of the sense of smell, sight or hearing The fitth nerve, he said, confers sensibility on the face, and when irritated gives rise to intense pain. He insisted that the puenmo-gastric nerve was the great vital nerve of the whole body, and said that if it were divided our respiration would cease at once, He then explained the workings of the spinal cord and its connection with the brain, and con- cluded by reciting the effects of alcohol, chloroform, opium and strychnine on that organ of the body.

The rein- deer is not only the Laplander's horse but his cow, and during the time that it gives milk he is freezing large quanti- ties of it to be ;used when no more is obtained. Then he breaks off a piece, warms it, and has again a good article of milk. The deer is also his food, large herds of them being kept in some parts of the country. From its skin the Lap- lander makes the roof of his house, his bed, his shoes and stockings, his clothes, and cords and strings for his bow. Without this animal the Lap- l:nder would be in a deplorable con- dition.
