KEELY Moron NOWHERE. Peter Con- |

motive power, is ahead of anything yet |
patented He will demonstrate to any one |
that he can propel any marine vessel, partic-
ularly at higher rate of speed than is now
done, at a saving of seventy-fve per cent in
cost and weight of machinery. That this en-
CINE will work mighty change in short |
