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

It is well worth while to get a wagon

Man En ting Wild Men.
In the celebrated "Travalies" of Ed
ward Webb (1500] are dozens of storiei
that would make Munchausen turi
preen with envy. One of the roost cele
prated of these la his story of the wilt
men of Prester John, which is as fol
laws:
"In the eonrt of Prester Iobn there if
a wilde man and another in the btgl
street of Constantinople wlwse allow
ance Is every day a quarter of ratv
[ mutton, and when any man dyetb foi
some notorious offence then they arc
allowed every day a qunrtw of mnn'i
flesh. These wllde men are chained
fast to a post every day. the one Ir
Froster Iohn's courtd. the other in th(
hiph street of Constantinople, each o)
them having a mantell about thcii
shoulders, and all over their bodyei
they have wonderful ions balre. Tbej
are chained by the neck lest tbej
speedily devour all that coinetb wltblr
their reach."
The Human Voice.

j things about the human body the vok-f
