MISS HOsda ER's INVENTION
What a Scientific Expert Knows Of It

Connection with 1t.

New York UOrld: ia reply to a request
from the World, Mr. Thomas c. Clarke, of the we'll
known firm of Clarke, Reeves d Co., in Philadel-
phia, one of the ableSt of American civil engineers
has forwarded us the following statement of Miss
HoSmer's invention, about which some discussion
has recently arisen: When Twas in Rome last March
my old friend, Miss Harriet HOSmer, showed NE d
drawing OF her magnetic motor and asked my
opinion OF Ii. She said she Intended to put into
the hands of some expert, in order that model
might be made upon which to procure her patents
She stated that she had selected Mr. j. Linton Chap
man, who was then in England, TO SupeTintend the
construction, and that she proposed to give him an
Interest in the patents for his services. Iadvised her
to cayeat the invention In the United Sta es, which
could be done FROM descriptions and sketches, and
not wait for the completion OF the model. This she
did. When In London in Blay, by Miss HosmeT's
request, called on MIR. Chapman and saw the model
in its then incomplete state. There subsian-
tal difference between it and the drawing shown me
in March by Miss HOSmer. As the invention is. l
am informed, deposited in the secret archives of the
patent office, am not authorized to describe it, Nor
am prepared to give an opinion as TO how much
power eau be developed or how long the machine
can be Iun without renewing the permanent mag
nets will say, however that the invention Itself
and the discovery of the principle upon which II rests
are entirely novel 1t is not perpetual motion but 1t
dispenses with batteries and draws its power direct
ly from that great magnet called the earth"
