Keely still processes faith in his

criticisms OF scientific authorities. The
Scientific American, 1t will be remembered,
assumed and explained to the satisisc
tion Of many of its readers that com.
pressed air would do all that vas done
by Keely's vapOric gun. Lisutenan,
zalinski Of Governors Island, who slso
witnessed the Sandy Hook experiments,
ooneurs in the compressed air theory.
Keely, however, with smile CT com.
miseration for the Ignorance which
will not see wherein it ia moi wise, 50.
sures the American people that the COM
pressed air theory is ridiculous, triHing,
silly, boyish and preposteTous. Hs re-
peats that he is not himself able to ex.
plain the true nature Of his mystic force,
why II exists or how 1t originates but
he does know that it does exist
and that its effects will yet
startle the world He promises
to have his long waited.for motor COM
pleted by next February at the turthest,
and then, says he twill the world see
then will l be vindicated then will the
people know that have not labored in

does not express any anxiety to accept
zHlinski'a challenge to perform with COM
pressed air all that he can do with bis
"etheric yApOr." And the people who
have been waiting since childhood for
Keely's moter to get down to business,
may we'll feel sad to be further put of

1884.
This old author would not have enjoyed
the present process. To an ancient writer
cumbrousness or "dignity" of style was as
necessary as his heavy armor to a MEDIEVAL
knight. Yet the work is well done all the
more 80 that there is no affectation Of short
words or curtailed syllables. 1t is sustained
and interesting throughout. Indeed, it seems
rather improved for the general reader
scorned OF George Eliot The first part, il
is true, can be better learned through the
beautiful medium Of the well known Uhild'E
Bible in the very words Of holy writ.
The wohdrous old story goes on, however
to the last feeble attempts Of the Jews aftel
the destruction Of Jerusalem under Titus, and
in this abrldgment it is both easily mastered
and inexpensive. Received through O. F
