Keely and his Motor.

II have luck and no further break.
ages, I think I shall bo able TO exhibit
the motor at work to the directors OF the
company and those Of the public who
wish to come, about June I, said Mr..
Keely, the chief protector OF the new
engine which Is to reyolutionize the pro-
duration Of force. % he escorted q news
paper man into o 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 register shell. for instance. weighs
1000 pounds, although it is only forty
two inches in diameter outside and
thirty inches inside, being six inches
thick. II is spherical, is Of wrought
steal, and holds sixty-ons gallons; II took
two weeks TO cool after manufa: turc. I
can charge il in less than one second
with vapor, generated by about three
thimblefuls Of water, that will run .
500 horse power engine nine hours.
This gauge registers 64, 900 pounds TO
the square inch-4, 900 pounds over that
OF gunpowder. We have tested II eight
times. The safety valve which you see
here, and Mr.. Keely touched with his
foot wrought iron pipe foot in diam.
eter and three inches in thickness, which
inclosed loosely smaller pipe, cannot
do much harm il it bursts, as the outer
casing prevents the pieces flying. Here
is one we split, and he placed his hands
upon huge valve that Ind been riven
like reed.
The material We now use almost on
tirely is of steel, forged in solid masses
and bored out. The oompressing cooks
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 de-
velop $500 horse power--enough to
run all the cars in Philadelphia and
New York put together-and can be
charged with seventy gallons Of pure
vapor per minute. We have about fifty
men employed, all told; the work gener-
ally is done outside and simply put up
inside. Yes, that patch in the wall is
where 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 passage not
larger than pipe stem, will stand
pressure of 100, 900 pounds to the square
inch. A magnificent motor is being put
together in New York; it is, Of course.
for our company.
Mr.. Keely then conducted the report
or to his model room, where number

1i1inntian mok0ra and rnoChinar invita6
The present century has
given birth to many marvels, steam,
telegraphy, etc., and we are going to as
tonish the world in q greater measure
than even great scientists can imagine.
Barring accidents, the motor will be In
working order by the fourth Of July.

An Ingenious Piece Of Mechanis m.

\ New Castle pa watch maker.
named Rohrer, has invented piece of
ingenious mechanism. which is thus
described: 1t consists of set of gold
studs. in one of which is a miniature
watch, which keeps excellent time.
The combined weight of the two studs
and the watch. which are all connect
ed together, is one ounce and a half.
The face of the watch is about the size
of a silver three-cent piece. and with
its surroundings of gold. looks much
like small compass. When the watch
and studs are on a shirt front they are
about two inches apart, and by turn
ing the upper one Gin the same manner
that a stem-winding watch is wound
the time-piece is wound. In setting
the hands the lower stud is revolved.
The most remarkable thing about the
time-piece is that it is not like ordinary
watches, bat has pendulum resemb-
ling that of a clock. This pendulum
Will move correctly in whatever posi-
ton the watch is placed-eyen when ii
is reversed and run at the top instead
Of the bottom. Mr.. Rohrer has repeat
edly refused offers of hundred dollars
for the curiosity. -ArleriolH MaH,yac-

a Way Out of the Woods.

II will be seen by our kilograms that Carl
Schurz and ex-senator Henderson, with
other leading public men of the west, have
united in a recommendation that the whole
matter of dealing with the electoral vote be
turned over from Congress to the Supreme
Court Of the United States An amendment
To the constitution enabling this to be done
cOnstitutionally can, ii is suggested, be eff
fected with considerable promptness, as most
of the state legislatures hold meetings next
legislatures hold only biennial sessions. This
is the case in Maryland, for instance, and the
legislature of that state does not meet for a
year. Under the emergency. however, If
there was a general agreement as To the de-
STABILITY OF this course. the nOn-meetinS
legislatures could be- convened i'll extra
session.
IL is understood that President Grant favOrs
sending the matter To the supreme Court for
decision. but whether in the shape proposed
by Carl Schurz and the others, is not known.
As ex-senator Henderson is now acting with
the democratic party, and Carl Schurz with
the r. publican party, IL would seem that the
recommendation in question is an impartial
one, having no party bias. While there are
many weighty arguments in its favor, the
objection will no doubt be made TO it that
should the counting of the electoral votes,
nentIy turned over to the Supreme Court, ii
would end in making the appointment to the
Supreme bench a matter of party scramble
and intense party interest. TO the detriment
of its judicial, politically unbiased character.
