And i dream, too ht secret te oo leas perpetual motion. Mans a man baa solved that problem only to -wake up and And hia solution was faulty. Machine havs been devised that will run a long time ot 'ftedr own coord, tut they have been mora toy.

without commercial value because their power was sufficient only for themselves; When will 1hi dreamer awake to bitter disappointment'! If he has anything at all. probably awakening will come when be trie to make practical ap-plication of hit dreamland discovery. Thia man la S- 8. Roger, a carpenter of Syracuse. As tba pa pen have announced, be haa made a machine which goes and heepe going, apparently, without requiring any outside power to start tt- or propel tt.

He can regulate Its speed and and control tt as easily as any machine run by steam. He does not know from actual experience how ib. Mtisfe4v'jHi lesraft hia maohlna will run until it Is woraout He has kept tt running for three dty and nights without and there is no apparent" reason wny oaya ana nurjita tn-numerabl could not be added to tha number. The most striking feature of the machine Is Its simplicity. It la onftnicted In a manner that would not puzzle any person accustomed to me use ot carpenters' For thia reason' the public cannot laarn'" at present the' details of the Invention.

Rogers te a carpenter who has worked hard. Ha has ne'er posed a an Inventor and says he ha never worted his brains about perpetual motion. Nor dof'S he believe In dream as being made of any real stuff, but the fact remains that his Invention la tha remit of a dream. It was about at wh ago that Mr. Rogers bad the vision.

He awoke, called his wife and told her that be had dtocov-ered nerpetual motion. had only rei reived the "Idea" In a general" way," Vat' his wife laughed at It Mr. toon fell aaleep again and dreamed about the machine In detail. He Is always an early riser, getting up at o'clock In the morning. That morning, he failed to awaka until o'clock, sanjothing unknown- before in hia long career, for he is fairly well advanced in year.

The vision waa so dear that tha dreamer wtu abio to sw every part of the machine. Ha made his conMruction according ho in It, and the result to supposed to be perpetual motion.
