TEAM and electricity have got to go!
Michael Patrona, an Italian, living in
Newark, has solved the problem of per-
petual motion.
A company with a capital
stock of $500,000 has been formed in this
city for the purpose of perfecting the con-
trivance.
Patrono has built a motor, parts
of which have been constructed in different
cities in order to preserve the secret. This
motor, the inventor asserts, will run for one
year, the operation being based on gravita-
tion, and the chief factor and material of
force is mercury.
Beyond this Patrono
will tell nothing of his secret.
Amateur Farmers.
WORK was commenced this week on the
several hundred acres of vacant land in
Long Island City, which Wm. Steinway so
generously donated to the Association for
Improving the Condition of the Poor. It is
being partitioned out in small lots to the
unemployed of this city, and is being eager-
ly sought after.
