 KEELY's MOTOR TO MOTE.
 The Time For Its Completion Now
 Fixed For Next February.
 PHLADELPHA, November 17.-Inventor Keely was seen to-day with reference to g published interview with Lieutenant E. L. zalinski of the United States army, stationed at Governors Island, in which the lieutenant, who witnessed the Keely experiments at Sandy Hook with the etheric yapor gun, rid icules the ''vaporic force" theory, and pro- fesses to explain that all Keely's ideas and methods are based on legerdemain. To the correspondent MT. Keely said, referring to Lieutenant Zalinski: Between you and me, this man is jealous of me. He knows that I am on the way to great heights. He feels, as well he may, that I soar far above him. The difference between us is even that of the lion and the lamb. Now as regards his opinion of me and my theory, he is altogether wrong. He conflicts my theory with that of compressed air. There is where he is totally wrong. There is where he does me gross injustice. do not believe in the theory of compressed air. It's nonsense Zalinsk has faith in compressed air; have none. And, by the way, his ideas never ap- pear SC mall to me as when I think of that tube of his." (Here MT. Keely smiled an exultant smiley 'EZalinski," he continued, 'Shas sort of a tube into which he places rocket.

And yet the be- Gever in such an idea seeks to criticise my great inventioni It's sheer nonsense. Why, sir, my theory is supported by the leading scientists of the country. I have scores of afidavits to that effect My last test was great one. You should have been there. It was made on the fourth of this month, and all the directors were there. They saw piece after piece of timber sawed; they saw it was done and that was enough. could not explain it because it is inexpicable. I only know thatI discovered this power accidental ly. Why it exists or how it originates know not. But what do know is that it does ex- ist, that it does operate, and that it's effects will yet startle the world. There are many things many great things--in this world that we cannot explain, although they are ocularly demonstrated. My force is one of them. Next February at the furthest my motor will be completed. Then will the world see; then will I be vindicated; then will the people know that have not labored in vain. It is because of this knowledge that I can afford to overlook, to ignore the petty jealousy of man like Zalinski."
