PERPETUAL MOTION. Ob* Inraator Baa Accomplished H by UarorMlng a Cyclone. It was daring tbe portion of bis career when be lived hi the valiey of the south fork of tbe Big Sunflower river that Henry Piymshow, tbe Inventor, made his most notable invention. This Invention had to do with cyclones. One afternoon Inventor Piymshaw saw a splendid specimen of a funnel cyclone coming over the prairie, and he called to me and said he would go out and study it, since It was evident that it was going to one side. Tlie instant the cyclone sighted us it came straight in otir direction. We weren't prepared for this exactly, so nil wv could do was to run. We were Just on the point of giving up when a most extraordinary tiling bupi*?oed. Curious thing. Sort of imtnral tin Ami thorp it WHS. OlllV one leg. and that down a fifty foot wed in the middle of n aheep pasture. If it had bad two legs. no doutrt K could have scrambled out. hut tt couldn't make it with one. Couldn't do anything except revolve. And K did do that. I never raw a cyclone revolve like that one. Mud apparently because It had missed Plyroebuw and me anil got caught. So it Just buried around like a top. Nothing in the world to stop ft. Most men?mere men of actionwould have t?eea satisfied ot getting away and not having to revolve with the houses and lots, but not Flymshaw. No. He got to thinking, and what was the result? Pot a l>elt around the stem of that cyclone Jwt at the top of the well, set up a dynamo, strung wire and ran all the machinery uml electric lights In that pert of the country. Itcguhir Niagara for power. Going yet. Nothing to stop it you see. Wonderful what a thing mind is!?11. V. Murr '?n Hat-leer's Magazine. DonYttftfl Praia*. Miss Uppersee?
