THE NEW MOTOR.

steam to be Entirely Superseded.
The assertion that a new motor
has been discovered much more eff
| fective than steam seems not to be
canard, as many at first naturally
supposed, but an actual fact. MIR.
Cowles, one of the editors of the
Cleveland Leader, has written let
ter to his paper, describing trial
which he witnessed ia Philadelphia
of experiments with this new motive
power, disooveredIby John w. Keely,
being vapor hitherto unknown to
chemists generated from water and
air without heat, at any desirable
pressure, and used the same as steam
in driving piston. The experiments
were tried in the presence OF several
gentlemen besides himself, including
VIM. FL. Ruthford, Chief Engineer of
the United States Navy; B. Howard
Rand, M. d., Professor of Chemistry
in Jefferson Medical College; j.
Snowden Bell, a mechanical engi-
neer of high reputation in Philadel
p,Iia, and other expert and compe-
teat engineers and mechanics Mr..
Cowles says:
"For years Mr.. Keely has been en-
deavoring to discover, in the works
of nature, a hidden power or motor,
which could be utilized for the bene-
fit of mankind, and has succeeded
The result of this, his discovery, is
so great, so marvellous and stupend-
Gus, that the practical mind will ac-
cept my statement wIth.a feeling of
incredulty. But have seen his eu-
CINE in operation, propelled by q
heretofore unknown vapor of inn
mense pressure, which is created
from small quantity of water, with
a certain admixture of air and which
is produced purely by mechanical
means, without any chemicals what
ever without the aid of gaIvanism or
electricity, without heat, and without
cost aside from wear of machinery
and expense of engineer. So what |
have seen with ny own eyes l must
believe"
ali the description Mr. Cowlos is
at liberty to give of the apparatus
proceeding this vapor is to say that
it is called Generator" or Multi
plicator," that it is about three feet
high, two feet long, and thirteen
inches deep, made of brass and
wrought iron in a heavy and strong
manner, the whole of which consists
of series of iron chambers, cylind.
rical in form, connected by pipes fur
nished with various cocks and valves.
This multiplication was suspended
from the ceiling by a chain three
feet above the floor, showing it to be
entirely disconnected with any hing
else, except the pipe connecting it
generated is conveyed to the recciv r
and from the receiver it is conveyed
by feed pipe" to the engine. The
receiver is made out Of wrought iron,
two inches thick, capacity about
twenty gailonp, and~ shaped like a
soda fountain. The popularity Of
this receiver is, il is made of wrought
iron, without q rivet, and entirely
wclIed. The engine is the ordinary
engine such a is used for steam
The PECULIARLY of this vapor is,
that it can only be used to the best
advantage at u pressure Of 20 600 TO
10000 pounds to the square inch.
How he produces the vapor from his
''mulliplicator," or rather. genera,
tor" is Only known to himself and
two other gentlemen, one of whom
is Challas b. Collier, E9q, wei
known patent lawyer OF PhiladeI>
phia. The secret will not be divulgad
till the cltims of the inventor, or,
rather the discoveror, are fully pro
tected by patents in this country and
in Europe The multiplication will
work automatically, and keep the
receivers supplied while the engine
is running. For the larger classes it
is intended to multiply the number
of receivers according to the size of
the engine.
IDOSO VINO Witnessed the operation
of generating the power, agreed that
the inventor, in an appreciabls pc
riod of time after the water had
been let into the generator, did
generate vapor having an expan-
sive force Of 10000 pounds to the
square inch; that no beat was en-
ployed, 70 electricity or galvanic
action observable as resultant of
the action; that the water after be-
ing used gave the senses no sign of
the use of chemicals, and the vapor
was void of smell or taste. The
company who are now interested
with Mr.. Keely propose to have an
engine on public exhibition next fall,
and they propose to drive por-
tion of the power In the halls of the
Centennial exhibition with a Keely
engine next year.
