The Kelly MoToR, a new and novel in
ventiOn, promises to supercede the use of
steam as Il motive power, at q cost so incon-
| siderable as to make ita matter of real won
dcrment and hearty congratulatiOn. This
! new mOtiTe power consists Of " cold YapOr,
large amounts Of which may be obtained
from small quantities of water, without the
employment of heat, chemical appliances,
or the consumption OF any substance what
| ever except air and water. The mechanical
manipulation Of the water is accomplished
by means of machinery consisting in the
main of simple pipes, nozzles, and check
valves, in the use OF which there is brought
about certain sort Of vibration, the result
ant whereof is 9 cold vapor,' and by which
the inventor claims to be able to produce
pressure Of from 10000 to 10000 lbs. per
square inch. Just what this " cold vapOr"
is, is not known by Mr.. Keely himself, and
the means of producing it is the "great
secret which is known only to the invcn-
tor and trio of interested parties to whom
he has communicated it, Experimental
trials on a limited scale have demonstrated
the entire practicabiity of the invention

ship can be run from Savannah to New
York at a cost of s., while the machinery
will not occupy one fourth the space at
present occupied by the boiler and engines
of steamers, thereby giving a greatly in
creased carrying capacity. OfcOurse great
diversity Of opinion exists as to the ulti.
mate use and success of the "new motor,
and the papers are freighted with pom
derous articles pro and con, but as there
seems to be no limit to human ingenuity,
and as that ingenuity has already harnessed
: the lightning and appropriated steam, which
; Is h0t tGpOr, to thousand uses, it may not
be impossible to SO utilize cold cap0r as that
it shall supcrcede all other mechanical ap.
; pliances as motive powers. Mr.. Sergeant, a
gentleman OF New York who has investi
gated the " New Motor" says that it is in
eyitably destined to revolutionizo the me
l chancal world, and render possible, and
2 even easy, feats which seem now beyond
, the power of the most perfect machinery il
the world, and compared with which the
widest dreams Of the Arabian story teller
+ will seem commonplace.

y demonstrate the entire practicabilty of hi
discovery III its application TO a railroad
u train between Camden and Jersey City
