THE MOTOR.
That Invention which is to Revolution
ize the World.

cavet for a novel invention new
motive power-had been filed in the
Patent Office The invcnto claims,
says the dispatch, that this motor
will supercede coal and wood for all
purposes except warmth and cook
ing, and that it will revolutionize the
present system of motive power.
The inventors name is Kelley
He first discovered the principle he
has developed in his motor while at
tempting to make a power saving
water wheel; and few years ago
applied The power, which is produced
from water without lire or chemicals,
to machinery-to running stationary
engines. He first experimental upon
a little engine that would stand upon
the palm of a mans hand. When
the power was let on, the engine
moved.
The weight of the inventor who
stood upon the board laid from the
round of a chair to the engine in a
way to test its power, could not stop
it. 1t moved the board and its bur
den up and let it down with great
ease.
To test the power that had been
obtained, Mr.. Kelley then made a
cylinder oc drawn copper, encased
this in wrought iron, and placed
around both steel bands close together
"a powerful cylinder. The power
was turned on, and the cylinder was
torn to pieces in an instant. Then
a three horse power engine was built,
and finally fiitsen-horse. These
engines have been run in Philadel>
phia every day for a year without
the use of coal or wood, without the
use Of fire, and without the use of
chemicals, at cost Of not one cent.
The Gfteen-horse power engine has
been run twenty-three consecutive
hours with power manufactured in
less than five minutes. These facts
we learned from a gentlemen interes
ted in the invention who has seen
the engines almost every day, and
who could not possibly have any OBJ
jec. in telling falsehoods in reference
to his wonderful discovery.
The dispatch to which we have
alluded says that the scientific ex
pertS who have examined it state
that the invention is entirely pracii'
cable, and will be patented.
If it is practical land that it is we
have not a shadow Of a doubt, what
a revolution the invention will work
in the world 1t will supersede the
use Of steam, and will solve the cheap
transportation. Locomotives can run
from Cairo to Chicago without stop
ing for either coal or water. The
smok estacks of steamboats, will dis
appear, their boilers be taken out,
and the G. eat expense of fuel saved
to them, The great danger Of fire
and explosion will be removed from
rivers. and their surfaces will fairly
swarm with all kinds of water crafts
propelled by the Keely motor, for it
can be used as we'll as on greater
hull.
The power is obtained from water.
BY a mechanical contrivance Mr..
Keely changes water from an unc-
lastic fluid which can be called by
no better name than cold steam. In
other words, Mr.. Keely obtains from
water without using fire or chemicals
the power now obtained from water
by fire, called steam. 1t is indeed
wonderful invention, and as we
have said before, is destined to work
a great revolution in the world, a
greater revolution than that made
either by the cotton gin: the steam
engine, or the telegraph. And in
the language of Col. Sellers, "there's
millions in it"
Mr.. Keely says that the first
public exhibition will be upon the
Pennsylvania Railroad, when he pro
poses TO take a train fro his city to
New York and return. He will have
the generator" stationed at West
Philadelphia, fill the 'receiyer"
which accompanies the engine and
take vapor enough to draw twenty
cars to New York and back. The
passage of the train will be silent
There will he ne cinders, no escap
ing steam, Or dropping of coal to set
fire to bridges. The engine will be
smaller than those now in use, but
will be of greater horse power. He
says that the generator can either be
carried on the train or left at de-
pot, according to the wishes Of the
engineer. 1t is small and compact
and takes up very little room. For
street cars, as a motive power, this
invention, it is claimed, will undoubt-
eddy become popular. The cost of
The apparatus will range from $500
to s., 500, according to the size and
finish desired.
The correspondent of the Times
says it is evident from the character
of the gentlemen who are interested
in the "Keely Motor Company" and
the amount of money they have adj
vanced, that they regard this inven-
ton as the wonder of the nineteenth
