A New Motor on the Best Theological
PRINCIPLES.

Herewith is presented some informa-
tion respecting a new motor, the inven-
tion of the Rev. Mr.. Bradley, Protest
ant clergyman, who conceived the idea
byreading in Genesis that God breathed
in mans nostrils the breath of life, and
he became a living soul" He concluded
that man is machine and conceived in
wisdom, and investigated the principles
of human physiology, and an extraordi-
nary machine was the result. He claims
to have first demonstrated that the res
piration of the'lungs, and not the action
of the heart, moves the circulation in the
animal life. We answer that this is a
very old experiment, made during vivi-
sections. The beating of the heart ceases
with respiration, but recommences at
once when artificial respiration is ap-
piled by mechanically initiating the
lungs; and the explanation is that the
heart needs the stimulus of the oxidized
blood in order to contract and. propel
the blood.
The machine of our reverend mechanic
is simple framework, with stationary
pistons fixed in chambers corresponding
to the auricle and ventricle of the human
heart, the heart-shaped cylinder moving
upon the pistons, and not the pistons
through the cylinder. This movement
is claimed to represent the action of the
heart. Spherical heated cells or genera
tors, corresponding to the human lungs,
receive jets of water, reduced by pressure
to delicate spray, creating instantan-
eously an all-powerful and steady force,
regulated in quantity by the number of
generators employed. The power is an
underlined, vaporous decomposition, pro-
duced by the action of the water in con-
tact with dry heat, the water in the op-
Grafton being perfectly decomposed, and
affecting a chemical phenomena, difficult
of designation. The heating apparatus
is inclosed in an air-tight chamber, the
smoke being returned and consumed; !;
there is consequently no discharge of
smoke or cinders. Locomotives will no
longer discharge their offensive burdens
into the eyes, ears, and laps of travellers,
nor the escape of the steam-boiler drown
the voice of conversation.
A machine of one hundred horse
power does not occupy larger space
than six square feet, and is six feet in
height; thrice that room will suffice for
a machine of the power of three thou
sand horses, and so on to any require
nrent whatever.
Tangible details are not given, but it
is claimed that the force employed in
this invention is well-known agent, and
one that is, beyond comparison, power
full in action and easy of management.
Second, that the mode of utilizing it is
marvelously simple, original, and per-
feet. Third, that its economy is marked,
being as one to five, if not six or eight,
in comparison with that of steam.
Fourth, that it is managed so as to be
positively non-explosive, and without
danger at any stage. Fifth, that the
machine is suitable for all mechanical
purposes; and, finally, it is unlike any
thing else in the world of mechanics,
and will excite an interest in economics
and revolutionize the present mode of
propulsion in every department of me-
chanical motion. The machine and its
capacities are not simply great inven-
tion, they are an inspiration utilizing
the forces of nature by the principles of
natural laws, and confirming to the con-
septions of man the perfections of the
Divine Intelligence in His works. In a
few weeks the public willhave an oppor-
tunity of seeing in operation one of
these machines of fifty horsepower,
which is now nearly ready for exhibi-
ton in Philadelphia.
A contemporary calls this account the
mostimportant addition to the literature
of mechanics since "Mother GOose's
Melodies" were written. The Mechanic
and Builder places it in the same cate
CORY with the Keely motor, which is also
Philadelphia adventure, for which
New York furnished most of the money.
