INSPECTING Keely,s Motor.

A short time ago some of the direct.
ors Of the Keely Motor company ex.
tended an invitation to several New
York capitalists to come over to Phila.
delphia and witness the operation OF
this much talked of machine Accord
ingly number of gentlemen, repre-
senting different commercial pursuits
and good deal of capital, visited Phil
adelphia and were escorted to where the
motor is in place, in an old stable in
the rear of Mr.. Keely's house. The
only possible way to gain admittance to
the seance was by giving three raps on
the door at short intervals, and Mr..
Lorimer, one of the directors, and Mr.
Schullerman, the secretary, as door
tenders, tried to exclude all but the in
vited few.
AS the clock was striking s the upper
apartment of the stable was full OF
men. Mr.. Kelly then poured twenty
drops of cold water into the generator
of his apparatus and connected the diff
ferent tubes which acted as insulators
of sound and vibration. After the fiji st
expulsion, which caused the vaporiza,
ton of part of the twenty drops OF
water poured into the generator, Mr..
Kelly proceeded to show the vibratory
power of his machine, placing hollow
brass globe between two plates of glass
an inch thick. Certain combinations
were made and the globe began to re-
volve at the rate of hundred revolu-
tons a second, as claimed by Keely.
The next experiment was the firing of q
cannon ball through four-inch plank
and then fattening the ball against an
iron plate back of the plank. Again Q
| little wire was connected between the
generator and the cannon, and, without
any apparent force except that supplied
by the vapor gained from the twenty
drops Of water, ball went crashing
through the room, striking the wall in
what Mr.. Keely calls his vice shop. Nc
hot air escaped from the mouth of the
cannon. Then Mr.. Keely exhibited his
betting machinery and created what
was claimed to be six-horse power mo
ton instantaneously. Many questions
all wonderfully unsoS:antific, were asked
and answered by Mr.. Keely in an ex
citable, ierky way, in incomprehensible
scientific terms. After the exhibition
was over vote of thanks was tend cred
Mr.. Keely. In his reply he said: II dc
not claim to have invented this. Any
man who would make such claim
would be fool. This is an invention
of the great Creator. l merely put to-
gether machinery to demonstrate the
vibratory power of that you have wit
messed tonight"

Lord Lorne's Costly Mag zinc.

"Would you like to buy that Hdr-

and timid peanutter on the east-bound
Union Pacific train the other day to a
middle aged passenger who was looking
over the Harper and reading Judge
Goodwin's article on the Mormon stu

"No," said the middle-aged party.
+" It is my own magazine, and therefore

came into his eyes. II fear you want
