Thc directors of the Keely Motor AS
sociation met last evening at the Lafsy-
cite Hotel. Charles b. Collier, of New
York, said: " In view OF the many
comments on the Keely Motor it was
recently planned to submit Mr.. Keely's
discoveries and inventions to aparty of
uDprejudiced men-men competent to
judge and reliable in their statements
and who had no pecuniary interest
therein. The following gentlemen have
expressed their willingness to visit Mr..
keely's shop and pronounce upon the iG-
vention: General Russell Thaycr, super
intendent Paramount Park; Sutherland
Provost, superintendent transportation
Of the Pennsy lvania railroad; AMI
Dodd, president Of Dodd's Express
Company Colonel NJ. Richards Muckle,
n. Richards Muckle, Jr., mechanical
engineer; Theodore Vail, general msn-
ager Of the Bell telephone, Boston, and
Theodore Ely. superintendent Of motive
power of the Pennsylvania railresd.
Mr.. Kelly shows conclusively that'Le
has discovered new force, aud shows
its adaptation practically as motive
power for the propulsion Of machinery
and as projectile force for the firing OF
cannon. To establish the first PROPOSE
ton Mr.. Keely uses three structures, a
liberator,' which is the power-genera-
ting apparatus receiver intended
to receive, contain, and transmit the
force, and lever Of the third order, in
tended TO measure the energy OF the
power transmitted to it from the re-
ceiyer. The 'liberator is simply a
mechanical structure, which contains
nothing but air at atmospheric pressure.
The receiver is simply a tube or cylin-
der, containing nothing but air at usual
pressure. While it is not probable
that Mr.. Kelly will dismantle his en-
CINE and exhibit internal construction,
desire to state, Of my own knowledge,
that his spherical engine, which can be
seen in rotation at high velocity, is a
hollow sphere, which nothing touches in
side or. outside and which itself is the
only moviDgpart of the structure except
its movable shaft and the pulley there
on, the shaft and the pulley deriving,
as is obvious, their power from the rota-
ting sphere. There are no moving
parts within the sphere, either il the
way of abutments or otherwise. The
engine is not propelled, as are all ether
engines, upon the principle OF an ex-
pansion and an exhaustion of an ex-
pansive gas, and there is no exhaust
from the engine.
"Mr. Keely's engine contains vibra-
tory media, as does also his liberia
tor, and it proves conelusiyely that it
is being propelled bya new force, as
does the liberator, that is iiberating or
generating new force. keely's eft
repeated promises Of speedy termina-
ton, specifying the time, and the usual
non-fulfilment, is the natural mani
festation of a sanguioe temperament,
and have been mistakes and should he
discouraged; but if, as he claims,
his desire is to have all things
perfect and reduced to their simplest
form, he is entitled to all reasonable
| consideration. The time is not far dis
tant when the three great forces in ma
ture will be confessedly steam, cleo
tricity, and inter-etheric force, except
that the last shall be first. The mo-
meat Mr.. Kelly says Il am through
and all is done, that moment honor
and praise will be bestowed upon him
as upon no other man in the century,
and his name in the next generation is
likely to be coupled with that Of Sir
Isaac Newton, with James Watt, aud
with Calico, the philosophers Of the
ages, and with no less reverence and
awe.
The first application OF his inven-
tons in doing steady, practical work is
soon to be made by replacing his small
steam-engine used in his shop with a
small Migratory engine on the plan of
the one described. Then is to follow
the new and large 250-horse-power now
in course Of construction by Newsham
& Co., OF Philadelphia, which will
be wholly vibratory the present
being only one third Migratory and
two thirds palsating), and Mr.. Keely
claims that with the contents Of one
receiver he viii. be able to run it con-
tinuously for thirty hours. With this
Mr.. Keely will cease his exhibitions,
and, with all his patents secure, deliver
to his company the entire apparatus,
and their speedy manufacture will fol-
low for the markets Of the world"
The day upon which the committee
of gentlemen appointed will visit Kee-
ly's workshop wall shortly be an.
nounced.
