A New Motor.

MIR. \. D. Woodman, of Chicago,
claims that he has made discoveries as
to the disintegration and absorption of
water that will revoutionize existing
theories. In other words, he has learned,
he claims, the control of water, has
rendered it in1iammabie and has over
come It's inAammable properties. IN
the course Of an interview with an
INTER OcEAH reporter, llr. Woodman
said:
BY the operation Of my theory
which really is no theory, as | have
demonstrated its practibility-the So
called natural laws of nature can be
overcome by man, and man can also pro-
duce the operation of such laws. 1t is
no longer miracle in my eyes that the
prophets of old called down rain from
the heavens. | can take one Of my
disintegrating machines, constructed at
a cost of $50, operate it and explodeit
aud Immediately after rain will begin
forming over the vicinity, and presently
there will be shower. That idea sent
abroad NAV declare me crazy, but have
SO well satisfied myself AS to the causes
of certain effects that / know | have
mastered thr problem. Another thing,
T. can construct a machine for the navi-
CATION OF the air. OF course, the only
thing to 30 is to overcome what they
call the attraction Of gravitation, and
this | know how to do. There are so
many things to which the principle can
be applied that ! am staggered by the
possibilities of my own discovery. l
shall confne my attention for the present
to the water-burning question. In about
two weeks | hope to give public
demonstration of this wonderful truth,
and am now engaged making the ma
chine for the purpose. l can convince
the most skeptical of two things-that |
really do burn water, and that | have
overcome the explosive properties Of
water or steam. As a motor my inven-
ton will solve the problem Kelley has
so unsuccessfully struggled with. He
has not learned how to control his forces.
T. have. My first experiment was with
a very complicated piece of machinery.
[ tested it, but alas, found l had not
vet found the means to control the terri
bic agency, and my machine went to
pieces in no time, and was greatly dis
couraged. I persevered. however, and
produced this, and won success. l shall
build no machine with Il thumbscrcw,
because a reversal by an inexperienced
person would cause a terrific explosion.
They shall be built like this, where there
can be no tampering with them from the
outside. Otherwise, my machine would
blow fire or steam according AZ it was
regulated. This much / do not mind
telling you. This verdone lies above the
atmosphere and in the center Of the
earth-for the earth has a hollow center.
Il is that which comes when needed to
create heat, life or cold. 1t is affected
by motion, and is the chief property Of
life as said. 1t is light. The proper
control of this will effect the cure of
disease, and can be made to produce life
The unit below the duo is life, and by
the segregation of this principle life is
produced Therefore, machine can be
made not only to cure disease, but to
actually produce PARTICLES of life. The
arrest or operation Of verdone causes all
things, and verdone is the only property
in the universe that can burn"
