The Keely Motor,

power at trif1ing cost and do away with steam and there ore with fuel for It has been more or less by all grades of writers for several months past, and now is receiv- ing attention of the press generally. The Scientific American has pronounce ed the motor fraud, and, according to its light on the construction, declar- ed it was an absurdity and in contra diction of well-established laws of force as applied to the mechanic arts. MT. Keely replies in short card of July 9, in which he says:
 I only ask of the public their indul- gence until new and perfect machine, now rapidly approaching completion, is finished, when 1 will publicly dem onstrate that which now publicly as sert.
 In an interview with press repor- ter, MT. Keely recently declared:
 I propose in about six months to run train of thirty cars from here to New York, at the rate of mile min ute, with one small engine. And 1 will draw the power all out of as much water as you can hold in the palm of your hand. Why, people have no idea of the power in water-I mean that can be drawn out of it.
 All of the wondrous inventions have been pronounced humbugs or frauds by more or less of truly scientific men; but MT. Keely has promised as above, to soon relieve the public of all doubt as to the character of his motor, and hence the world will not have long to wait to know whether or not the costly and all incidental neces- saries thereto, may be dispensed with forever. While many writers ridicule the motor and its inventor, probably as many treat both as entitled to fair con- sideration.
 When en route east last Spring, we heard something of this motor from various men of intelligence, who were more or less acquainted with MT. Kee- Iy or those directly connected with him; therefore, when in Philadelphia, we made inquiry of machinists and in ventors regarding their knowledge of its merits. None were prepared to say
 it would be the success its inventor claimed, nor yet did they regard it as a failure. A Mir. Thomson, relative of he late J. Edgar Thomson of the Pennsylvania Central railway com Oany, and a man of scientific attain nents, had investigated the invention o the extent perm ission was granted lim, and while he had some doubts of
 it's practical success as claimed, he was lot prepared to say it would never be perfected.
 Should thIs new motor be brought to he success its inventor declares it will De, Arizona will be as largely benefited IS any political division on earth When we can have a power to run Iuartz and other mills, produced with ut wood and so little water that all hat is necessary may be carried any distance at trifiing expense, our pro lucts of the precious and baser metals VIII astonish the world, for we think hey will do this in few years. with water and steam as now used. While | ve do not favor the counting of chick ns before they are matched, we still
 eem it proper to watch out for every hing that may possibly give us cheap r power. The Philadelphia Times of
 late date contains lengthy descrip- ion of the motor and its method of publication for practical use. For the enefit of our readers, we will now i've the Times description of this wonderful mechanical contrivance:
 The motor is a vapor of immense
 pressure, which is created from mall quantity of water with a certain dmixture of air And this vapor is 'roduced by simple mechanical means through the instrumentality of device invented by hlm and called a multipli- ator. There is no heat, electricity, ,alvanism or chemical substances used,
 nly air and water, and these manipu- ated in the cOntrivance of MT. Keely. The multiplicatOr is series of iron
 of cylindrical form, con- lected by pipes, and furnished with
 ocks. and valves. It is about thirty ix inches high, twenty-four inches ong, and thirteen inches wide, and las a capacity of seven gallons. At a distance of eight feet from the multi ,licator, is cylindrical wrought iron six inches in diameter, and Orty inches long. This is connected with the multiplication by one inch )ipe. A standpipe of brass, about two 'liNl 4oll l1O1lCS. ldd Ctllu hree feet high, having a spherical hamber at the bottom made in two 'arts, is connected to the pipe uniting he multiplicator and reservoir. The is also connected with egister of force, at twelve feet dis ance, by a pipe one-tenth of an inch nside diameter. The register of force onsists of piston of one square inch req, pressed down in cylinder by a ever. A small beam engine stands bout six feet from the apparatus, and
 hydrant cock connects the whole 7ith the water main from which a SUD- ly is obtained.
