The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1895-12-10

should his with that |
Organization and confine himself to the
perfectipg OF an apparatus which
wouln demonstrate his principle ard
reduce IL TO practical use, aud abandon
the hope OF making something that
could be patented.
Ono OF his friends-one who has
been very true TO him-begged him to
toll he secret, SO that IL he should die
suddenly some other scientist could
take up the work where he left 1T and
go on, that the priceless boon be
not lost TO civilization. But Keely
has positively refused. He says he
count OF his study and the result of
his experiments are committed to q
safety deposit vault, and that IL he
should ever die before che motor is
completed the truth will be made
known. So the FREUD and hacker did
what they have all been doing for q
quarter of a century-he waited.
Mrs. Moore says h doesn't know
any more than the rest Of them, and
that at least is doubtless true. But
she has every faith in the man, AMI he
is welcome to any part Of her fortune
that he wants--and has been since
1882. III he is successful she can't
make much out of 1t, aud she says she
doesn't want to. And il he were to
arrive at o solution of his problems to-
morrow he could not expect to enjoy
his triumph very long. A man of 10
doesn't feel that he has much leeway
in the matter of time.
No man knows what the Keely
motor Is.
In the first place, Keely said when
he was a boy he saw the window of
his shop shake, and minutes after the
wagon whichihad shaken it went past.
The wagon was SO far away it could
not be heard when the window be-
trayed its coming. Another time he
found there was q certain faucet In the
house which, when turned in q certain
hour OF the day, would permit the
water to drip; and hat the dripping
of the water at that time whould shake
the whole house. He went into the
rooms next door, and found the fall of
that water-a drop at q time, remem-
ber-could be felt there.
One time u number Of men were
practicing a drum corps in a street,
n a storm came up, and they went
into a hall. The score made all the
drums break into a concerted roll on
instant. And as the roar Of that drum
ming smote the air the windows were
broken.
From all this he understood there
was such q thing as sympathetic vibra.
tions by which a force could, under
certain conditions, he communicated
from one object to another. And he
believed this force was tremendous.
These vibrations are in the ether
which surrounds our earth, which per.
vades our universe, and the possibilities
of the successful Keely motor are
limited only by the limitations OF
space. Objects vitalized so as tx
| uihpata IN fhi, afho, ,,;kl oosks
relation to each other will together
exert q tremendous force. The ap
plication of that force to materia
things in earthly affairs in all Mr.
Z Keely ha to do now. He has found
, the ether.
THE RESULT IS STILL IN MYSTERY
All that is known is tbat when two
certain objects are in proper relation
to each other, the vibrations give
them control over a force greater thar
anything known in physics; q force
that sets the laws Of gravity at de
, fance; a force beside which magne
has progressed in developing machi
, merry which will arprehend this force
, and apply it to mundane objects is the
problem. He may know all about it
> He may be able, If he will, to hitcl
: his engine tomorrow to a steamship
! and drive her across the Atlantic with
> out h use of a ton OF coal. He ma,
= be able to attach it to q freight ca
! and travel from Philadelphia to Chica
, go in two hours. He may be able t.
! drive a tunnel through q mountain
. or sink q shaft into the earth. H,
says he can do any of these thing.
, when the motor is completed, and h,
has said time and again that he wa
y at the very verge Of completion. III,
may be fooling them he may be ther,
now.
! And on the other hand, he may know
, nothing. He has never given a tes
3 outside of his workshop. What thing
: he has In his tanks and rooms no on,
knows. He has never permitted
thorough Investigation. Kelly ha
, enjoyed the confidence. Of some of tn,
5 hrewdest investors of the age. TIL,
, tests he has given have been in tn
presence of men of silence, and IL h,
l has not a new force he has q methot
, Of controlling old forces that none O
i them can understand. And If he ha
: what he pretends to have he viii
! surely revolutionize the mechanics O
the world. The perfection Of hi
!, motor will be the doom of the steam
! power.
And in the light of these s%tupendou
possibilities one can understand some
! what of the influence he has wielde,
, for so many years. The perfection @
