Judging from the applications for patents, one a week, all Great Britain apparently Is trying to invent a perpet ual motion machine, only Great Britain calls it a "self moving engine." The wires and bones of models may be found blenching ln hundreds on the shelves of the patent office. It goes without saying that not one shows the slightest Inclination to move Itself. Varied and often pathetic are the his tories of the Inventors. Not a few of them have spent the years of their prime In the chase of this unattainable will 6 the wisp; others have dropped thousands of pounds ln the quest; still others have trailed the quarry into the insane asylums. If all the wasted en ergy, spent ln seeking the solution of this problem bad been converted into the beaten channels of endeavor the patent office officials believe there would be few problems of mechanics left today unsolved.

The Florida Keys railway runs from the mainland for a distance of 124 miles over what Is practically open sea. Imagine a string of tiny islets stretch ing like the broken off piers of some Titanic bridge right out into the great aalt ocean and you bave the Florida keys. Most of them are only a few rods in extent Here and there la one that reckons Its area ln acres, while four or Ave among them are Islands rather than Islets, covering several square miles. Big or little, however, they serve merely aa stations for the railway, which runs over and upon them with the open sea on either aide of it Moreover, the viaducts and em bankments that carry the trains, al though immensely strong, are ao nar row and steep that the passengers look out upon ocean only. There is no land whatever In sight during the greater part of the trip. Exchange The Pole 8 tar.

This la the pole star. Astronomically speaking, there are no fixed stars. So called fixed stars are supposed to be the suns of other systems of worlds, themselves performing Immense revo lutions through the fields of apace. However, of all the bodies which scin tillate in the starry night the only one that remains motionless or seema motionless Is the pole star. At any moment of the year, day or night Its station remains unchanged. All other stars, on the contrary, turn In twenty-four hours around it taken aa the center of the mighty vortex. For this reason It Is the roost Important star to navigators In determining their course. -CnrlstlAB Herald. His Prise Cardan.
