Of the many moters which their in
ventors have tondly believed were to su ,
rercede steam, the latest IS the diScoy
cry OF AIr. John W. Kelley. 1t is
method whereby water is transformed
by amechanical process to vapor, with
out the application of heat, and yet the
transformation results in the production
Of moter far more powerful than steam.
After many experiments Mr.. keeley
succeeded in ln,king an engine whose
motive power was compressed air on
one side and vacuum on the other,
while water was the agent for holding
the vacuum in suspension. This was in
his opinion vast Improvement on the
steam engine: but the inventor saw by
the working Of his model where he could
better it by simplifying it. This he
proceeded to do, and he now has a mo-
ter which is merely cold vapor pro-
duced from water by mechanical means,
yet so pow crtul that it can produce a
pressure OF IL, 900 pounds TO the squaLe
inch. In fact the tremendous results
Of this process quite astounded It's dis
coyerer. 1t is also a popularity Of this
yapor that it can be used at any rate Of
pressure desired from ten pounds to
thousands of pounds to the square inch
it can also be generated and preserved
in receiving vessels for an indefinite
length of time without losing It's force
MIR Keeey bas proved this by re-
peated experiments, sometimes keeping
the vapor for fortnight without ap-
preciaJle loss OF power. This process
Is simple and inexpensive, and Its
working models are SO marvellous III
their operation that not only may
scientists but capitalists also have be-
come convertors to the now motive pow
er. Already stock companies have
been formed which have purchased
the right to use this new and strange
motor in various states, and an entire
revolution in steamships, railway en-
gines, horse ears. and in fact IN every
department Of mechanical operations
Is predicted.

died at his post in Cheyenne, the other

bringing the passenger train, he was
suddenly taken seriously i'll, but rath-

an hour, aud reached Cheyenne ahead
of time. AS the monster machine
came to halt. and the engineer who
was to relieve him stepped into the pill

engine; I'm ready to die now - and
in five seconds he was a corpse. The

the well-knoWn actor, whose leanness
he described as "'something phenom-

siredt to ''get some flesh on his bones. y
\ well known physician advised him
to go to one Of the bathing places in
the Pyrennces. PerleC accordingly
asked for leave OF absence from bis
lheater, and went off to the prescribed
locality, where he drank and bathed
with the utmost zeal and perseverance,.
Patience urged the local doctor, in
reply TO his expression Of disappoint-
mcnt; there is nothing like our

day when perlet was perfectly soak
ing himself III bath. in the hope Of
an increase Of weight which seemed in
no haste to declare itself, he heard a
colo guy in the bathing cabinet next
his own, between the local Esculapius
and lady of enormous obesity. ''Doc-

in behalf OF reform, eontendiug with

We give warmer welcome at our fire

MARTINo IN a HOTEL DINING
RooM.-Nartino, now under the
charge Of Charles Forbes, is constant
ly playing his tricks upon the unus-
pecting. While the company were
playing at Mankato recently, Mortino
came into the dining room early one
morning. Immediately after being
seated at the table one Of the waiter
girls brought him his breakfast, con-
sisting Of variety Of eatables among
which was plate Of hot biscuit
MARITIME took one in his hand and broke
it open. when, to the astoniohment Of
all present, out rolled SIC siiocr haJ
dollars Then taking up hot Potag"
to peel it, voice came from it saying
'.On don peel my skin off; you
will cut my head !! The waiter girls
(who were Catholic by persuasion /,
looked at each other for u moment.
then all ran out o. the room crying,
1.-The devil is at the table sure" On
hearing the noise the landlord came to
Sc. what was the matter, and it was
ith difficulty that he could induc
the girls TO come into the room. Not
one IF them, however, would wait On
Martino again, and the landlord wao
obliged to send the CLERK to wait on
him.
Martino declares he will never play
any more tricks on waiting girls while
eating his meals.
