PERPETUAL MOTION.

Sftuire Bussell Has Invented a Machine That Defies the Laws of Nature. Squire Bussell, of Hanging Grove township, was a caller at the Journal ofllce the other day. In conversation the subject of perpetual motion was mentioned, where he ventured the assertion that he, Home years ago, invented a perpetual motion machine, which he still hap in hie possession. He says, however, that while it furnishes power enough to run itself, he has been unable to induce it to furnish any surplus power, so that as far as practical benefits are concerned it is useless. He values the invention so highly that he haslet but two persons see the machine, and did noteven invite the Journal man to inspect it.
