no doubt, says the New York Sun
Mr.. Keely has been enabled to keep
steadily at work upon his experiments
and he and his adherents believe that
he is about to demonstrate to the
world the truth OF all his claims. A
gentlemen who has been connected
with Mr.. keely's interests from the
first, and who has never doubted Mr..
keely's ability or success, visited the
workrooms last week. He writes to
the Sun as follows:
Nothing is so misunderstood as to
the real facts as are Mr.. Keely's in
ventions. Three-foufths of the state
ments made by the public press dur
ing the last few years have been en-
tirely at variance with the real facts.
Mr.. keely has always objected hereto
fore to having anything said OF his
work until the proper time came.
Not until 1 can produce a mer-
camille engine, one that will do prac-
teal work, will scientists and the peo-
pie generally believe in my discoveries,
we have often heard him say.
"Mr. Tyndall, in an article Atoms,
Molecules, and Ether Waves pub
lished just before his death in Long
mans Magazine, is said by Keely's
friends to have struck upon the very
foundation stone Gf we may use the
term) of Mr.. Keely's discoveries, which
gives the beginning. as it were, OF his
discoveries in vibratory power, etc. !;
but, while Mr.. Tyndall was still CROP
ing after the truth, Mr.. Keely had
found it, and had already produced
several engines, every successive one
of which has been an improvement
upon the other, until the present one,
now about to be given to the world,
will show how grand the system is
upon which he has labored so long.
Mr.. Tyndall in the article above re-
ferred to says:
"'The union of the bodies in fxed
and multiplied proportions constitutes
the basis OF modern atomic theory.
We cannot form water but by using
two volumes of hydrogen and one OF
oxygen invariably, a group of atoms
drawn and held together by what
chemists term affinity, is called mole
cule. The ultimate parts of all COM
pound bodies are molecules. When
water is converted into steam, the
distances between the molecules are
greatly augmented, but the molecules
themselves continue intact. We must
not, however, picture the constituent
atoms of any molecule as held so rig
idly together as to render intestine
motion impossible. The interlocked
atoms have still liberty of vibration
which may, under certain circum-
stances, become so intense as to shake
the molecule asunder, Most mole
cules, probably all, are wrecked by
vibratory motion. The constituent
atoms OF molecules can vibrate to and
fro millions OF millions of times in o
second.
"'Further atoms of different mole
cules are held together with varying
degrees of tightness; they are timed,
as it were, to notes of varying pitch
the same as what occurs when . piano
is opened and sung into. The waves
of sound select the strings which re-
spectively respond to them, each
string constituting itself thereby q
new centre of notion Mr.. Tyndall
then refers to how vibrations are in
creased or accelerated by sound, and
how great is the power Of vibrations
when stimulated.
"We have given q few of the ex
pressions of Mr.. Tyndall as to the
power of vibratory action, wherein hi
treats and confirms the very things
which certain scientists, who have
never seen Mr.. Keely's experiments
have stated cannot be true. We vii
now give Mr.. Keely's words ON vi
brstions as to their power, etc. HI
says:
"Vibration is difficult thing t
define, if We speak of it theoretically
The scientific men of the world can
not fully explain it. Vibrations ma!
be increased by sound. AS regard
atomic vibration, if 1 we're to asser
that l could make a machine which
by a certain process, could create 1
disturbance of equilibrium so as t.
produce pressure OF fifty tons to tn
square inch, persons would be dunn
founded. Yet such is the case witt
the machine now in my laboratory
The process involved in etheric liberia
ton is the same IS if familiarly vii
messed in the liberation of gases fror
water, water being known as tn
highest specific gravity. The libers
ton Of the ether in my machine ful
nishes simply the medium, and tbs
is used as Introductory of the distu
bance Of the equilibrium which give
the initiatory impulse.
"It is we'll known that by mear
OF . mechanical impulse innumerab
vibrations can be produced per secon
and these vibrations 1 claim can
produced by what call the theory
interatomic ether acting upon molec
lar construction. In my machine Il
force is in the vacuum, because Il
power which is to be liberated is gres
