eff have luck and no further break
ages, think 1 shall be able to exhibit
the motor at work to the directors of the
company and those of the public who
choose to come, about June 1st," said
Mr.. Kelly, the chief protector of the
new engine which is to revolutionize the
procuration of force, as he yesterday es-
corted Times man into workshop in
the rear of his residence. You cannot
conceive" he continued, "the power of
this machine and what we have had to
overcome in experimenting. This reg
lister shell, for instance, weighs seven
thousand pound, although it is only forty
two inches in diameter outside and
thity inches inside, being six inches
thick. 1t is spherical, is of wrought steel,
and holds sixty one gallons; it took two
weeks to cool after manufacture. l can
charge it in less than one second with
vapor, generated by about three thimble-
fuls of water, that will run five hun
dred horsepower engine nine hours.
This gauge registers ffty-four thousand
pounds to the square inch-four thou
sand pounds over that of gunpowder.
We have tested it eight times. The
safety-valve which you see here" and
Mr.. Kelly touched with his foot IL
wrought-iro pipe foot in diameter and
three inches in thickness, which inclosed
loosely smaller pipe, "can not do much
harm if it bursts, as the outer casing pre-
vents the pieces flying. Here is one we
split" and he placed his hand upon a
huge valve that had been riven like a
reed. "The material we now use almost
entirely is of steel, forged in solid masses
and bored out. The COMPRISING cocks
which are attached to that cylinder are
my own invention. Understand what
we are fighting against is thirty tons to
the square inch. This machine will
develop eight thousand five hundred
orse-power-enought to run all the cars
in Philadelphia and New York put
together-and can be charged with sew
enty gallons of pure gas per minute. We
have about fifty men employed, all told |;
the work generally is done outside by
1. P. Morris and Morris & Tasker, and
simply put up inside. Yes, that patch
in the wall is where a bolt, that blew
out, went through short time ago. The
greatest care is needed, and yet some Of
our appliances appear very fragile. This
copper tube, which you see is not much
thicker than lead pencil, and has a
passage not larger than a pipe-stem, will
stand a pressure of one hundred thousand
pounds to the square inch. A magnif
cent motor is being put together by
Messrs. Sargent & Cunningworth, in New
York; it is, of course, for our company
Mr.. Keely then conducted the reporter
to his model room, where a number o.
delicately constructed specimens of ILL
putian motors and machines invited
inspection. "There are so many point,
about the invention that it would take
me three or four days to describe them
and your paper far more room than il
could spare in year to publish them
The present century has given birth tt
many marvels, steam, telegraphy, &c.
and we are going to astonish the work.
in greater measure than even grea
, scientists can imagine. You may tel
the readers of the Times that, barrin,
| accidents, the motor will be in workin,
order by the fourth of July" The in
terview then terminated.
