POOR YOUNG MAN CAPTURES WEALTH,


"And so thou lowest my daughter and would make
her thy bride ?" sneered the naughty fruitpacker.
~ do" respectfully, but firmly, replied Vivian
SandfOrd. ~ love Daisy with q warm, passionate
affection and she returns my love- know thou art
rich and that Daisy is the heiress TO all thy broad
acres; but, sir, I'm not fortune hunter. It's your
daughter want-not her money"
Al the young mans frank words the naughty sneer
disappeared from the fruitpackers features. He re-
mem6ered there had been time when he was so
poor that he had to pawn his best boots to take his
girl TO the matinee.

pose of subjecting himself to a test before

feat at Rush Medical College, and at several

that he actually produces the flame with his

Many cottages will be erected this season on
the lake shores by residents of Easterncities
who realize and appreciate the natural ad-
vantages of Detroit for health, pleasure,
rest and recreation. The st. Louis Boat
ing and Fishing club will also complete
work on buildings and grounds this sea-
son. At present the hotel accommodations
are not of sufficient capacity, but this
drawback promises to be corrected by the
erection of a $4,000 hotel this summer.
As Detroit has many other natural ad-
vantages other than those relating to
amusement and pleasure, Col. George h.
Johnston, proprietor of the town site,
Holmes & Bowman, and other prominent
business men, are offering special induce
ments for men of capital to locate in bust
ness here and establish wagon and farm
implement manufactery, furniture factory,
saw, lath and planning mills, ETC., etc., or
anything for which the town holds special
advantages. sufficient sum has been
subscribed to establish a reading room
here, which will be located in the second
story of the postofice building now under
erection. n. QUAD.

KEELY's FINAL ENGINE.
Something of the Machine that is to Aston
ish Every One.

Something of the Machine that is to Aston
ISL Every One.
Philadelphia Record.
The work of erecting the new vibrator
vertical engine by Mr.. Keely, the famous
motor man, is proceeding with all the
speed possible. The machine is rather
bulky and of peculiar construction. The
bed plate upon which it rests is twelve feet
by six, of cast iron and weighs 4,4OO pounds.
The apparatus resembles an orange pierced
by pencil, and then suspended upon two
uprights. These uprights are denomina-
ted standards and weigh 3, 200 pounds
each. The standard at the right hand sup
ports steel shaft nine inches in thick
ness. This is stationary, and suspended
upon the end of il is an iron disk weighing
600 pounds. To this disk is attached a
cylinder containing the secret method for
giving the power. Connected with the
cylinder are ten wrought iron tubes, three
feet long, weighing $50 pounds each. At
the left hand side of the tubes is steel
disk half an inch in thickness, containing
go steel pins driven in about an eighth of
an inch from the periphery. These are
placed equi distant with mathematical
precision, and taper in length from five to
two and half inches. This portion of
| the machine has much the appearance of a
long key board, such as one sees in piano.
The standard or pillar at the left hand
supports nine inch shaft, which is not
stationary. To this shaft is attached by
| means of set screws an iron she'll or sphere
made in four sections. The she'll covers
all the machinery described above except
the shaft. The diamater of the sphere is
Sc inches, inside measurment. The weight
| of the shell is about 10000 pounds, and the
central section is cast so as to accom-
modate forty inch faced belt 1t is to
revolve upon the movable shaft at the left
end, and turn around the machinery that is
contained inside of it. In fact the shell is
| to be the driving wheel, and is to be pro-
PEELED by the force communicated to it
from the interior. This force, or the ele-
ment for producing it, reaches the inside
of the shell by passing through minute
| aperture in the stationary shaft into the
disk, the secret cylinder and the tubes.
From there the power is dispensed and the
sphere made to revolve. The small engine,
of which the one now in course of
erection is an exact copy, has been made
to operate and Keely believes that he has
found the true method now. 1t is claimed
that the present is simplifed and modi-
fed form of the vibratory engine and, as
it combines two things, has been named
the vibratory- vertical engine. 1t will
weigh about seventeen tons when complet-
ed. Mr.. Keely makes portions of the
secret work himself as he is afraid to in
trust it to any one. 1t has these features
about it there is no exhaust and no heat
is evolved.
