A New Motor In Reading.

THE MARVELLOUS INVENTION ABOUT BEING conf
pLETED by YOUNG MECHANIC OF THAT CITY.
[From the Reading Eagle.l
young Reading mechanic who for the pre-
sent desires his name withheld for particular
reasons, has almost completed a new motor
which he says will eclipse Keely's famous
machine, and knock it higher than kite.
The young man exhibited it on the counter Of
Wunder's tobacco store yesterday morning
and his ready and graphic descriptions of its
working fully showed that he was master
OF the situation and that he thoroughly UNI
derstood the workings OF his patent 1t il in-
tended to run passenger train without an en-
CINE using no coal, water, fire or steam. The
Young man exhibited the model of the new mo-
tor. 1t consists of three parts. The first is a
large brass cylinder. On the two sides OF thus
this are two more cylinders, connected with the
largest one In these two small cylinders are
wheels on the turbine system. These wheels
are driven by the newly discovered force which
the exhibitor stated he would have to keep to
himself until ho had secured patent. The
wheels are properly connected with rods, etc /,
and other machinery, and the valves are prop
erly fitted SO that the motor can be started,
stopped, reversed or regulated as to the speed
required. This new motor is designed to be
placed under passenger car, and with IL, IL IL
claimed train of cars can be run from here
to San Francisco at a lightning pace, and very
little cost. Tho motor is to be very powerful,
the pressure to the square inch to be many thou
sand pounds As yet the motor is not fully
completed, although the mechanic has tested 1t
sufficiently to know, as he states, that tho thing
is going to work to perfection, and that II a
train of cars will stand it, passengers can be
tossed over the road twice as fast ~ the fastest
express train now travels
