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 fre-box must be removed, as a use,
less adornment; and, thirdly, in loco
motives there will be no use for the
tender. The power will be supplied to
| the engine, and the train will move of
at any rate of speed which may be de-
sired, provided all that has been claimed
for the "motor" does not fail. With a
Keely "motor attached to 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 wheth-
er or not vessel would not be obliged
to fill up the space occupied by coal
bins with water-tanks. Just here the
invention appears most wonderful. 1t
is said that with about an ordinary tum
bier of water 2O.horse power engine
can be made to run an hour, and per-
form it's full service.
''Seeing will be believing" in this
matter, and the sooner Mr.. Kelly
makes his first public exhibition of the
invention will the public at large and
the world in general come to regard the
name Of Keely as they do that of Ful-
ton or Watts. Mr.. Keely says that
the first public exhibition will be upo on
the Pennsylvania Railroad, when he
proposes to take train from this city
to New York and return. He will have
the generator" stationed at West Phil.

companies 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 be no
cinders, no escaping steam, or dropping
OF Goals to set fire to bridges. The en-
CINE 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 the depot,
according to the wishes of the engineer.
It is small and compact, and takes up
very little room
For street cars, as a motive power,
this invention, it is claimed, will un.
doubtedly become popular. The cost
of the apparatus will range from $500 tc
So, 500, according to the size and finish
desired.
It is evident from the character of the
gentlemen who are interested in the
"Keely Motor Company and the
amount of money they have advanced,
that they regard this invention as the
wonder of the nineteenth century. They
all speak favorably of Mr.. Keely's per-
sonal integrity and capabilities, and
have even gone SO far as to lift him up
from his position Of pecuniary embar-
rassment and purchase and furnish a
large house for his use, and pay him
large sums of money for his personal
expenses. About four millions of dollars
are already involved in the s,1ccess al
this new invention.
The gentlemen interested in the
scheme in New York are Messrs. E. T.
Throep, Charles G. Feancklyn, Charles
Lamsom, Sergeant & Cuttingworth, w.
D. Hatch, William w. Wright, W. B.
Meeker, j. j. Smith, A. 81. Elliott,
