rAe KELLY MOTOR.

About the middle of May look out for
the Keely motor. The bride is made
and now the giant is to be driven in 60
cart. The people who IRE interested IN
the mysterious Motor, say that al the
trouble lay in discovering a material
strong enough to hold the devil they had
raised. They tried iron, steel, Austrian
pun metal and phosphor. bronze,-ln fact
everything that science said was strong,
and all in vain. At last they found
that solid wrought iron blocks, When
forced together, can be bored out 10 form
the necessary cubes and cylinders, and
thew have now machine made IN this
way which has stood a hydrostatlc pres.
sure Of 35 900 pounds to the square inch!
II this be true we are on the eve OF q
mechanical revolution even greater than
that which followed the completion OF
the steam engine. A force SO tremend-
Gus SIS this is represented to be, and gen
Grated from a small quantity OF water,

No absurd to use river TO turn mill
wheel, when a giant cylinder and agal'
Ion OF water can do ten times the work
We shall have no more cinders from the
lncomotiye-and we tear that the coal
miners will have to go into the wrought
iron business. All this and much more
more will surely take placc-when th'
Keely motor proves a success.

Fighting a Wheat Ring.

A San Francisco special says: The
present year California has sown to
wheat about two million five hundred
thousand acres. This will yield about
| forty million bushels, valued at about
$50, ,0OO00O. We can export about three
tourths of this crop, or thirty million
bushels, enough to load five hundred
merchantmen. For years the powerful
wheat ring Of this city have held the
| Grangers at their unmercIful dictatiOn,
The Granger could not borrow money on
his country warehouse receipts; he was
compelled to ship the wheat here and
store it with some of the ring, and pay a
much higher rate Of storage at that.
| The ring would charter all the ton
mage in port and that to arrive during
the season. The farmer then was lett
the alternative of selling his wheat at
what they offered, OF recnartering ton.
mage from the ring-either of which was
downright robbery. Changers from
[twenty-four wheat-groWing counties re-
GENTLY held secret convention in this
city, at which, it Is understood, az
rangements were made TO cut loose from
these capitalists and ship direct to LlY-
|erpool. The majority were wealthy
men, and at least tn ee-fOurths of the
wheat-grOwing interests were therein
i
The Changers are in better financial
circumstances this year than usual, and
consequently are more Independent OF
the wheat merchants. Several who
produced from two hundred to six. hun
idred tons, and have several half bushels
OF money On storage, said they would no
ilonger'submit to such -blOoded rob-
beiy. The proceedings OF this meeting
were not made public, put it is under-
stood that they resolved to free them
selves from the rapaclty of San Francis
co capitadsEs, or quit raising wheat.
All this had the effect Of considerably
weakening the ring, il nothing more, and
learning the fixed determination OF the
Grangers, several capitalists came for
ward and loaned money on country
warehouse recelpts-a thing never dome
before in the history Of wheat growing in
this State. Tonnage must come down,
Ior farmers will not ship. The vessels
can not lie idle; neither can the ring
afford to pay 500 per vessel day de-
lmurrage. So 1t would seem the Changers
have c0rnered the ring. r.

The relative excellence OF American
| twists and sewing silks seems to be gem
erally acknowledged, since, during the
| last four years, they have been exported
IN increasing Quantities. Ribbons and
millinery silks likewise constitute i'm
portant features OF this industry, their
combined annual valuation exceeding
$70OO,0OO. What is more noteworthy,
because an exceptional amount of hand
| work is required in the production, the
| demand for braids and frInges is largely
supplied by native fabrics. Even gros
grains have lately Deen made with profit,
but 1t must be said in general that tor
broad goods and the heavy grades of
dress silks the outlook OF American
manufactures is not favorable.
When we consider its beginnings and
impediments, the present state of our
silk industry may we'll appear remark
able. 1t gives employment 10 eighteen
thousand operatives, two-thirds of whom
are women. 1t represents an invested
capital OF $1S,000,000, of which fifth is
credited to New York, somewhat more
to Connecticut, and a third to the city Of
Paterson, New jersey, which, in mod
est way, might be called the Lyons OF
America.
Silk culture, indeed, should not be
wholly overlooked, although in the At
lantic States it has ceased to engage
much attention. Yet it long held much
larger place In the hopes Of English set
tiers than the cotton crop, and James
studieusly endeavored to supplant to-
bacco by the mulberry tree.
The growth OF the white mulberry and
the breeding OF sllkWorms in Virginia
were encouraged by large premiums;
and about the middle OF the seventeenth
century member of the House of Burg
esses said he had seventy thousand null
berry trees on his estate. The coeoons,
however, proved SO much less profitable
than tobacco, that their production rap
idly declined, although 1t was no intre-
quent occurrences down to the time oil
