KEELY SHOWS SOME POWER Hut a New York Engineer Sows SkeP. tfcism In The Minds or The Onlook.

CTS.
 NEW YORK, June Half 8 dozen news paper men went to Philadelphia from this city yesterday, and after climbing a short staircase in story and half brick house in North Twentieth street, were introduced to tall, dark featured man, who weighed
 two hundred pounds. There was grime in his black side whiskers and mustache and he
 wore no collar. He said the white shirt he
 had on was the first he had indulged in for
 si X weeks. A dozen prosperous looking men called him stJohn,' and the newspaper men were informed that he was MT. Kee1y, who is said to have been develop ing wonderful motor for several years past One of the prosperous looking men said that he and his directors in the company had supplied Mir. Keely with s25O, 900 dur ing these years, and that they had great ex- pectations.
 MT. Keely was to show what his motor could do. By demonstrating that the thing was not a fraud, as it had been alleged to be. it was expected that some of the stock would be sold, which would enable MT. Keely to continue his experiments. The inventor let the fire die out of his cigar while he built up his generator" piece by piece. He put heavy steel globe on top of it, which 1 he said contained nothing. One of the party desired to examine it and MT. Keely became very indignant. The directors seowled at 1 the doubting Thomas and one of them told Mr. Keely to go ahead. MT. Keely went 1 ahead. He put in brass rod here, turned ! stopcock there, attacked same hollow wires l to lever in the corner and said he would raise it with the heavy weights attached to it. A large tuning fork was set in vibration by violin bow, some more stops were turn Tad aY1ds ha Mr. v said the force e1erted was 22, ,000 pounds A New York engineer of big reputation who made the calculations from the figures fur
 nished by MT. Keely said it was only 13,O0( pounds Then the New York engineer went out into the other room and remarked | while he tried not to laugh so as to be heard 'sThats the blankest humbug I ever saw 1 All that folderol business about the genera | tor is bosh. Any engineer with half an eye could see that the generator was only dun ! my But take away those cylinders with tn compressed air in them and see how it vii ! work"
 Then Mr. Keely revolved glass globe ol ! an iron rod. He said it was done by the vi
 bration of the tuning fork. The New Yorl | engineer whispered that it was done b, clockwork and signals and he could prove it 1 A large globe was next revolved, and beltine from it's wheel turned shafting. Two shot | were fired from a cannon and two bullet | k'AeSoS. said it was all done by his mysterious force | The directors applauded him. The New York engineer showed in private how i could be done by compressed air, and tht New York party sided with him.
 | This is what MT. Keely said in response tt
 the reporters query of ''What is ita'' ''It Ii l the liberation of interatomic ether by vibra | tion. The atomic ether vibrates all around
 all the molecules of matter. It has a mag l netic force attached to it at the same tim
 and it assimilates with the molecular aggre gations and atomic aggregations -assimilate ! with a certain attractive force that i is hard to tell what it is II call it vibratory negative It don't act like magne drawing metals toward it. There is a cer
 tain magnetic effect about it that causes i
 to adhere by vibratory rotation in differen
 forms of matter-that is, molecular, atomi and etheric. The impulse is given by me ! tallic impulses. The rotary power that i l formed by the etheric vapors is greater thai I the force that holds it in position"
 The reporter hasn't the slightest ide
 what it all means, but he took in shorthand
 She words they fell from MT. Keely'
 lips.
