Philadelphia, June 2e.-John W Keely
made what was pronounced a successful
test Of his new ether:c engine Saturday
afternoon, In the presence OF a few
Philadelphia and New York mechanical
experts.
The demonstration was made at Keely's
laboratory. The engine was placed upon
a glass plate and raised on steel pins so
that the witnesses could see that there was
no chance for chicanery. The force. Keeiy
claimed, was generated by his ''sympa-
thetic trausmitter
The engine Is described as a compli-

of which are held secret.
The sympathetic generator" by which
force i $ excited in the engine, is con-

After seeing the small engine operated
the party were conducted to another room,
where larger one, weighing two hundred
rounds and having ten-horse power, was
rapidly, however, and it was explained that
Keely had only begun to work at it and
would have it ready for proper test in a
short time.
Chief Electrical Engineer Brown, o: the
Western Union Telegraph Company, who
had examined everything carefully, would
not give an opinion on the tests, which, he
confessed, baffled him, further than to
say that the force utilized by Keely was a
