PERPETUAL MOTION. The sponge problem of Sir W-Congreve, of rocket fame. Three horizontal rollers are fixed in a frame; an endless band of sponge runsround these rollers, and carrieson the outside an endless chainof weights surrounding the bandof sponge and attached to it, sothat they must move together,every part of this band and chainbeing so accurately uniform inweight that the perpendicularside will, in all positions of the • band and chain be inequihbrium with the hypotenuse, on the principle of the inclined plane. The framein which these rollers are fixed is placed in a cistern of water havingits lower part immersed. On the
