THE NEW MOTOR.
That Invention Which is to
ReVOlutIOnize the World.

| Recently the Chicago Tribune contain
| cd Washington dispatch that a caveat
/ for novel inventiOn-a new motive
| power-had been filed in the patent Of
! flee. The invention claims, says the
! dispatch, that this motor will supercede
coal and wood for all purposes except
warmth and cooking, and that it will
revolutionize the present system of mo-
tive power.
That the headline editor of the Tri-
| bune Tabled the dispatch "A Munchau-
sen Story" does not surprise us; but we
| doubt not, he will speedily learn that
the dispatch contains the statement of
iact-the fact that new motor power
has been discovered that will create a
greater revolution in the world than
steam and electricity. When Fulton ap-
piled steam to water crafts lie was scOffed
at, and the report that his experiment
had been successful was called a Mum
/ chausen story The assertion that
| Morse had invented a machine by the
/ use OF which persons separated by thOus-
/ ands of miles could converse with each
other, was called a Munchausen story
/ But steam was successfully applied to
| the propulsion of water crafts and cars,
and the telegraph did not 90 down be-
! fore the scOiilng unbelivers so neither
will the keely motor, for that is what
| the invention spoken of in the TTibune's
dispatch is called. Indeed, the success
/ of the motor is assured. This we know
| to be true.
| The inventors name is KeeIy. He
| first discovered the principle he has de-
/ velOped in his motor while attempting
to make a power saving water wheel (;
and few years ago applied the power,
| which is produced from water without
| fire or chemicals, to machinery-to run
ming stationary engines Tie first eX-
| pcrimented upon the palm of a mans
hand. When the power was let on, the
engine moved. The weight of the in
ventOr who stood upon a board laid from
the rung of a chair to the engine in a
way to test its power, could not stop it.
1t moved its burden up and lets it down
again with great ease. To test the DOW
er that had been obtained, Mr.. Kelly
then made a cylinder of drawn copper,
encased this in wrought iron, and plac-
ed around both steel bands close tOgeth-
era powerful cylinder. The power
was turned on, and the cylinder was
torn to pieces in an instant. Then 4
three horse power engine was built, and
finally Il fifteen horse. These engines
have run in Philadelphia every day for
year, without the use of coal or wood,
without the use of fire, and without the
use of chemicals, at a cost of not one
cent. The fifteen horse power engine
has been run twenty-three consecutive
hours with power manufactured in less
than five minutes. These facts we
learned from a gentleman interested in
the invention, who has seen the engines
almost every day, and who could not
possibly have any object in telling false
hoods in reference to this wonderful
discovery.
The dispatch to which we have aIlu-
ded says that "the scientific experts
who have examined it, state that the in
vention is entirely practicable, and will
be patented" If tits PRACTICAL BILE, (and
that il is we have not the shadow of a
doubt what a revolution the inven-
ton will work in the world? 1t
will supersede the use of steam, and
will solve the problem of cheap trans
portatiOn. Locomotives can be run
from Cairo TO Chicago without stopping
for either coal OF water. The smoke
stack of steamboats, will disappear, their
boilers be taken out, and the great dan
ger of fire and explosion will be re-
moved from the rivers, and their sur
faces Will fairly swarm with all kinds
of water crafts propelled by the keely
motor, for it can be used as well on a
barge as on a greater hull!
More than this: There is scarcely
piece of machinery, from the sewing
machine up to great engines like those
in the Chicago Water works, that can
not be operated by this power. The
housewife can sew with it, rock the
cradle with it, churn with it. 1t can be
used upon the street car, TO thresh grain,
to prOpel wagons and carriages. For
every purpose the steam engine is now
used, and many more, the Kelly motor
can be used, and with no other coss
than that of uperintendence ard wear
and tear of machinery,
The power is obtained from water
By mechanical continuance Mr.. Eeely
changes water from an unelastic fluid
into an elastic fluid which can be called
by no better name than cold steam. In
other words, Mr.. Kelly obtains from
water without using fire or chemicals,
the power now obtained from water by
fire and called steam. 1t is indeed a
wonderful invention; and, as we have
said before, is destined to work a great
revolution in the world-a greater rev
olutiOn than that made either by the
cotton gin the steam engine or the tel
egraph. And, in the language of Col.
Sellers, "there's millions in itr'-
