Observation-Disclosures FORCE FROM PER
MANEST MAGNETS. 49,. r-.
The Huntingdon (Pa.) Journal Of the IA h
instant says: " From time to time for several
years we have incidentally alluded in the
columns OF the Journal to the invention, or
rather discovery, of MIR. Wesley w. Gary, of
this place; but Mr.. Gary invariably re-
strained us, and urged US not to give pub.
cty to his labors until such time as he
would indicate. The time has st length ar.
rived. He has just returned from Washing.
tor, where he has made seyeraI applications
10 cover his discoveries or inventions, and
we are now at liberty tor the first time to give
the result, of Mr.. Gary's labors to the public.
Mr.. Gary is the patentee, we believe, OF
several useful and ingenious inventions. and
can therefore be cllssed as q professional n-
ventor and experimentor. Many years ago
his attention was directed 10 the great power
of magnetic or attractive fOrce-.he force
which holds the universe in its course and
gives bulk and form TO matter. On inveSti-
'gation be learned that at one stage Of mans
progress, several centuries ago, an article or
composition had been discovered that defied
the attractive qualities of the loadstone, but
that the secret had been lost, and that the
present generation of scientists denied the
existence Of any sucn article or composition,
and sccff-d at any such discovery. Mr..
Gary gave creaenCe to the statements of the
auc,ents, and affirmed what mad once been
accomplished could De accomplished again,
and though he might be made the subject OF
ridicu!e aud Jest he determined to investigate
until DE WAS satisfied that il was not within
the power of man to produce the result he
contemplated. He became in measure a
recluse. He shut out the world, and With
no companioB but his estinable and accom-
plished lady, magnets became bis constant
study. In his experiments he found articles
and compositions which to certain extent
acted as a partial cutoff or interpose between
the magnet and the objects attracted. This
gave him encouragement. II the attractive
force could be partially stayed, partially cut
cfl' why not entirely: He labored incSsantly.
He never tired. The hale, strong man melted
away, and still he lab0red and experimental.
At last his efforts were Gro wned with success.
The experiment had demonstrat ed and reason
was indicated. 1t WAS no accident, but
the result of long train Of experiments
and profound study. Reason suggested
and experiment verified. The cutoff or
in.orpose was all that Mr.. CRY desired.
We have tested it every way that could
be suggested. We have taken small piece of
steel. placed it on glass, and then placed
magnet weighing perhaps pound, within
attracting distance, and instantly the steel
would fy to the magnet. We have placed
the cutoff over the poles Of the magnet and
placed it within the thickness of hair of the
steel, and would not manifest the least attrac-
ton or motion. A needle suspended by
thread would f1y to the magnet at consider
able distance, but the momcut the interpose
or cutoff was applied the magnet could be
placed within the thickness of a thread with
out any visible attraction. We have seen a
pump worked by magnets alone pump water
by the hour. Engines have been invented
By Mr.. Gary and Others that run continu.
ously by these silent yet powerful motors.
Any force required can be supplied
from an engine 10 run a delicate watch
or scwing'machine to power sufi-
Gent to propel the largest steamer. But
Of or interpose Mr.. Gary has accomplished
he utiliZ zion of the power OF permanent
magnets (thereby accomplishing some OBJ
jecD by simply changing the poles of an
electromagnetic by very simple device.
After MIR. Gary became satisfied that he bad
discovered the composition for which he now
seeks patenShe felt that he would have 10
combat the ignorance and prejudice of ages,
and he has gone on making experiments un.
Ill now he invites all the learned and expert
enced to test his discoveries. He can be
found at his residence, in West Huntingdon,
where all wishing to examine for themselves
can be accommodated, For eighteen months
we have been familiar with the facts here
communicated, and We feel confident that
MIR. Gary can satisfy any unprejudiced MUD
that be has accomplished what we above
Claim for him."
