UNDINE.

The OHIO DEFEAT The Cincinnati
Gazette (Rep) thus accounts for the
Republican defeat In Ohm:
An: off year after the President"
election is habit Of the Republicans.
It is the custom to talk Of the govern
ment to the people as thing the peo-
pie delight to administer; but in fact
they regard it as irksome, and want to
shuttle it of most of the time. It is
too much work to turn out and vote.
There was great deal Of dissatisfaction
among the Democrats; but the thinking
class of that party is only small pro,
portion. The mass blndly vote, like
a regular army at the word of command
Of course the negligent and disafected
Republicans will now resolve to vote
and retrieve the State. And the Dem
ocratic party has talent for disgusting
the people in a siugle term enough to
cause this reaction. Meanwhile anoth-
er United States Senatorship will have
gone to the Democrats.

Keely's Folly.

For the past six years the Keel
motor has gained no little notoriety
but never as yet has an opportunit,
been afforded the curious scientist fo
a critical examination of the machine
SO tn at many have been led to believe
it was destined at some day in the neal
future to supersede steam as a motive
power.
Recently several of the most eminen,
mechanical engineers have been con
suited on the subject, am ong others one
who has been employed by Keely, and
who does not hesitate to declare the
whole thing delusion, utterly devoid
of scientific merit.
lie attempted hydraulic motor,
which he termed "hydropneumatic
pulsating vacuum engine" In this he
claimed that the only force exerted on
the machine was water from an ordi-
nary hydrant; that this water mad to
create a vacuum IN the machine, had to
actuate pulsating diaphragm, had to
operate piston in cylinder, to raise
weights and to turn crank shaft,
which was TO give out more power
than the water itself possessed, but this
scheme was pronounced utterly falla-
clous, being based on contradiction of
all physical laws.
About this time Kecly applied for a
patent on the hydro pneumatic" engine,
but from the fact of his never having
produced the required working model
1t was abandoned as impracticable.
Then followed what be termed the
" "kcely motor" evolved by expulsion
from a multiplication or generator, with.
out the aid of any chemical compound,
heat, electricity or galvanic action.
The only means he employed, accord
Ing to his own account, was the intro
ductlon ofatmospheric air and limited
quantity of hydrant water. By this
slmp'e process be claimed to be able to
send train of cars fiom PHILADELPHIA
to New York, the sole motive power
being quart of water in his multipli-
Gator, which produced vaporic sub
stance. This scientists declare to be
nothing more than compressed air, com
pressed by the hydrant pressure, which
is made powerful ty proper machinery.
But mere pressure is not motive power
it is resultant of it. According to
the best accounts Keely's motor does
not possess any power whatever, and
can never be applied to any practical
use. The pressure is not continuous,
and only exists for short time, while
the machine is not automatic in the
same sense that steam engine or 9TH
er motor is, and he has SO far utterly
failed to show continuity for more
than fifteen or twenty minutes at
tlme.-Pa7aaezphia Record.
