at the safe cock and the force ofthe air
did not even extinguish the light, and
did not have any offensive odor; in
fact, none at all was perceptible. The
rapidity With which this vapor can be
generated is almost inappreciable.
''In five seconds" said Mr.. Keely, ~
eau supply 1000 pounds of vapor to the
square inch, and enough to run train
of ten cars from Philadelphia to New
York and return" 1t seems almost
instantaneous, so short is the time
consumed. The vapor has damp,
cold feeling. There is not the least
noise perceptable in its generation.
To apply this motor to any engine
now in use will first require dispens-
ing of the boiler, as the receiver and
generator will take its place; secondly,
the fire. must be removed as
useless adornment; and, thirdly, i'm
locomotives there will be no use for
the tender. The power will be sup
piled to the engine, and the train will
move off at any rate Of speed which
may be desired, provided all that has
been claimed for the "motor'' does not
fail. With Keely "motor" attached
to q steamer, the voyage of the world
can be made without coal, but as the
action OF salt water, in producing the
vapor has never been tested, it remains
to be seen whether or not q vessel
would not be obliged to fill up the
space occupied by coal-bins with wa
ter-tanks. Just here the invention ap-
peare most wonderful. It is said that
with about an ordinary tumbler of wa
ter twenty-horse power engine can
be made to run an hour and perform
the full service. ssaa
"Seeing will be believing" in this
matter, and the sooner Mr.. Keely
makes his first public exhibition of
the invention will the public 1T large
and the world in general come to re-
gard the name of Keely as they do
that Of Fulton or Watts. Mr.. Keely
says that the first public exhibition
will be upon the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, when he proposes to take train
have the generator stationed at
West Philadelphia, fill the receiver
which accompanies the engine, and to
take vapor enough to draw twenty
cars to New York and back. The pas
sage of the train will be silent. There
will be no cinders, no escaping steam,
or dropping of Goals to set fire to
bridges. The engine will be smaller
than those now in use, but will be Of
greater horsepower. He says that
the generator can either be carried on
train or left at depot, according to
the wishes of the engineer. It is small
and compact, and takes up very little
room. va
For street cars as motive power,
this invention, 1t ia claimed, will un-
become popular. The cost
Of the apparatus will range from five
hundred to twenty-five hundred dol
lars, according to the size and finish
desired.
1t is evident from the character of
the gentlemen who are interested in
the "Keely Motor Company" and the
amount ofmoney they have advanced,
that they regard this invention as the
wonder Of the nineteenth century.
They all lspeak favorably ofMr. Keely's
personal integritary and capabilities,
and have even gone so far as to lift
him up from his position Of pecuniary
embarrassment, and purchase and fur
nish large house for his use, and pay
him large sums of money for his per-
sonal expenses. About four millions
of dollars are already involved in the
success Of this invention.
The gentlemen interested in the
scheme in New York, are Messrs. Z.
T. Throop, Charles G. Francklyn,
Charles Lamson, Sergeant & Cutting
worth, w. o. Hatch, William w.
Wright, w. B. Meeker, J.J. Smith, A.
H. Elliott, John NJ. Williams, and J.
s. Andrews.
