THE Keely case, apart from its legal
sspscts, Is peculiar. A party claims to have
bought machine from him many years
ago and tho court has ordered that Mr..
Keely show his machine so that It can be
decided whether 1t Is the one solo. Keeiy
refuses to show them anything Of impor-
tance either because he has nothing Of that
kind TO show or because II may be claimed
to be the same that he sold to them. He
distrusts everyone and demands thst
everyone should trust him. He says OF
the other party III they will show the
description Of the machine OF 1860 ana then
say they have not seen enough of my present
machine to show that they do not corres-
pond, l will make them a gift Of my
secret" This sounds fair, but the claimants
may reply that the old aud new motors
may DO the samo though different IN sp'
pearance just AZ two steam engines may
seem totally unlike In general appearance,
though both use steam by piston and
cylinder. He also says tina. he will give his
motor to the world In four months, but the
world would be better pleased to have II
mote at ten days with i've per cent. OIL for
spot cash.

Boiler Explosions.

mysterious boiler explosion at the chemi-
cal works, and would be glad to have

OLD ENOUGH TO sE HIS MOTHER
Gray Haired Mrs. Mendoser Sues to Recover
Her BOY Husband She Says She
Loves Him SuIL

Loves Him still.
Judge Walsh, OF Brooklyn, on Tuesday
called the case of Anna Mendoser, aged 81,
against David Mendoser, her husband, aged
2l, charged with desertion. The latter
walked quickly to the space fronting the
judge. He looked tired but defiant, and
boldly stared the justice In the eye. Anna
was not slow In taking her place as COM
plainant before the judge, but even her own
lawyer, Frank o Biien, smiled when she
pushed him one TO side 30 that she could
stand beside David. The case was about to
90 on when Clerk John S. Stryksr hur-
riedly appeared and stated that Jere
Weinberg, counsel for the defendant, was
trying o case In general sessions and could
not be present, and asked that the case be
adjourned. Lawyer OBrien demurred at
the delay.
Turning to the youthful bridegroom the
Judge said: SHOW IL this, young man
We're you TO support her, or was she to sup
port your"
"S6e was to take care OF me-" enphst-
ically replied David. "She gave me 81, 900
to marry her and was to help me establish
know OF four bank books that she has,"
swell, l don't think she'll suffer any by
a short delay" said the judge, sand IN set
the case down for November 2S, at 10 Q.
m."
At this time Anna had said nothing, but
stool beside David, devouripg him with
her eyes As he went out OF court with his
iriends she followed closely after him. On
reaching the sidewalk David met more
friends aud stood talking to them. Anna
crossed the street ana remained for several
minutes with her gaze still firmly riyeted
on the object of her affections When she
saw him walk away between two well
dressed women with whom he was con-
versing In the most animated manner,
the sight WAS TOO much for her, and, taking
the arm OF her friend she walked hurriedIy
down Adams street towards her lonesome
home on the top ficor OF No. 81 Flint street,
When questioned by a reporter David
spoke very freely about the case. He said
the old woman had almost annoyed the life
out OF bim with her attentioEs, >, and during
the absence Of his parents In Boston had
talked him into marrying her, although he
told her he could never love her. The

fessor of steam engineering to look after
their power. They must depend upon
the great army Of intelligent and worthy
men, who with q thorough practical
knowledge of all the plain facts manage
thousands Of boilers all over the land with
such rare discretion that explosions are
few and far between. When these trusty
men venture to theorizs they sometimes
come to grief sadly, and one OF them
makes an interesting example OF this In
the dispatch from Montana explaining
the disaster before referred to. lie says:
"In three OF the boilers the steam gauge
indicated seventy-6ve pounds pressure.
The other one indicated fifty-five pounds
of steam. The steam was evidently
turned into the boiler that exploded from
the others, thus giving 200 pounds addi-
tional pressure when 1t rent asunder, one.
half going forward and the other back
ward, carrying death with It. The boiler
was q new one and was considered safe,
but could not stand 200 pounds pressure
going into 1t at once"
InlS plan Oh INCREASING Stean PRESSURE
would be Of commercial value II prac'
tcable, but 1t is well-known that pres
sure IL equalized much as water finds It'd
level, and the turning Of steam into the
one boiler would not mean an increase OF
Its pressure by the pressure Of each one
but simply an increase sufficient to bring
1t to the same average pressure as thu
others, which would fall in proportion.
As all argument helps to q conclusion
consideration should be given TO an!
who have claim to write about boiler
and their curious ways.

story Of its origin. The legend runs rs
follows: " Last spring, when Kilrain, the

New York prepared to give him grand
reception. A party Of Kilrain's friends,
eonsiderably the worse for liquor, pro-
cured tug and went out to take their
hero off and bring him ashore, but the
captain Of the Etruria swore the drunken
crowd should not come near, and they
did not. While cruising around the
steamer one Of the tugs passengers, q
man named johnson, in leaning over its
side, lost his balance and fell overheard.

pairing the Atlantic ocean to plate OF
soup was so .supremely ridiculous that
whom the incident was related in the
New York papers the expression struck
the popular fancy" And, we may add,
the popular fancy is yet reeling from the
blow.
The incident was ludicrous, but the
application Of the phrase to all sorts OF
trouble by people who never heard the
story, Is one of those painful efforts at fun
that is saddening. Man LIS said to be the
only living being with sense of humor,
and he alone has the sense of moral re-
sp0nsibility and the consciousness of the
awful solemnity Of life. Laughter, wit
and hum0r, seem to be given him as a
counterpoise to the crushing weight of
his sense Of Immortality, and the parrot
like catch phrases that serve some, in.
stead of witticisms, prove a feeble sense
Of hum0r that indicates an equally weak
feeling Of humanity. Men who treat a
hollow phrase as fine joke cannot be
very manly, especially when the expires.
