THE KEELY MOTOR.

I ho iii’iij'-.'ij *V log. u York paper, ssn'.s: — The wonderful exhmi-lio-as which reyiveu the hopes of the

stockholders in the Keely’s motor, the other day, turns out to be by no moans incredible. A -small tube, eighteen feet long, was charged with what Kcoly calls his vapour, and its force set what lie calls a vibratory engine vibrating for an hour. There is nothing prenatural about that poiformauce, especially if the engine was a tcy engine. To a Philadelphia correspondent of the New Yo;k Times Kcoly explained that lie “ found by accident ” the new'sort of engine he wanted. Tins luck discovery occupies a space only about four feet square, and all the machinery is contained in a cylinder as big ns an ordinary drum. “The negative and positive motions arc nearly equal,” and a lien they are exactly so, “ the Kecly motor will be complete.” The same correspondent saw an ISin. wheel made to revolve by connection with a charged “'generator that was only six feet long by ten feet wide and five feet high.” About July 1 a citcnlar saw is to be publicly turned round—five drops of water will be used, and ten cords of wood sawed. “ But the apparatus,” said Mr Kecly, “will be in use some 20 years before the thing is fully understood.” Meanwhile Mr Keely proposes “ at least a year of lecturing to demonstrate the secret of this generator and engine”—which is a gloomy prospect for the public. The time is ripe now for putting Keely motor stock on the market, since almost anything will boom now, and the less there is known about it the boomier ic is.
