Marquette: This city went wild
Monday over the return of Co. L, of
the Thirty-fourth Michigan. The
train reached town about | o'clock
p. m. on special, with the other
upper peninsula companies of the
Thirty-fourth. The parade was
nearly half mile long and was al
ready formed and waiting. The
volunteers were taken from the
train and puNin(carriages and taken
over the short line of March and
then brought back to the depot and
fed by the ladies'. The other com
panics proceeded to points further
on and continued their journey on
special train an hour later. About
D, 900 people were assembled at the
depot to see the soldiers come
home. The enthusiasm was in
tense.

USE OF MACKINAC ISLAND.
Park Board Tenders the Fort and
Grounds to Secretary AIger.

A Lansing dispatch states that
Peter White, of Marquette, president
of the Mackinac island state park
commission, is making strenuous
effort to induce Secretary Alger to
send troops to Fort Mackinac, where
the regulars were stationed for
many years. Acting for the commits
sion, he has rendered the govern
ment the free use OF Fort Mackinac
and all unoccupied buildings therein,
as well as the buildings outside OF
the fort s walls and such outlying
camp parade grounds as may be de-
sired. The legislature conferred on
the board power to convey the title
of the fort and Immediately ad-
jacent grounds to the United States
free, upon the assurance that the
same will be occupied for military
purposes.
Secretary Alger has expressed his
appreciation of the offer. He says
that the disposition of the army will
be determined this week and that
the war has come so suddenly to an
end that the question of the disposi-
tion of the forces is almost as much
of problem as was the gathering
of them together.

GAME WARDEN'S REPORT.
IL Violations of the Law Report
cd in August.

In his report to the secretary of
state for the month of August, State
Game Warden Osborn says tha.
great deal of attention has been
given to the work of supplying dams
with fish ladders as required by the
statute. This work has been carried
on all through the summer and there
is still much of it to do. Nets have
been inspected along the northern
shores of the lower peninsula, and
in st. Mary's river and upper Lake
Huron. AS general thing the nets
have been found to be of1egal mesh.
The usual reports at this season of
the use of venison in lumber camrs
have come in, but careful investiga-
tion has generally revealed that the
reports were without foundation in
fact.
During the month fl complaints
of violations of the game and fish
laws were received. There were 21
arrests, six convictions, one dismis-
sal and IA gases are still pending.
Tne amount of fines and costs as
,ssed against violators was $154.
There were two arrests for viola
tions of the game laws and 10 for
violations OF the fish laws.

 Wn6tner It was d JSdiOuS 6 u1l NAieNAi ship of some secret, the discovery or which might have pricked the bubble, or merely, as Keely himself said, that he could not tolerate any lmputatlon against his honor, he was usuahy qu1ck 10 resent anything like an attempt at DrySlg into the mysteries, especially 1T the investigator seemed to have under taken the task in a Skeptical or cap tious spirit. I have seen him on one night the embodiment of courtesy 1tself, carefully taking to pieces ms intricate mechanical structures ana apparently with the greatest frankneSs exposing to view their innermost parts on the very next night, perhaps, if he had some cynical customer to deal with, and one whose long purse the president and directors of the company hoped to en- list in their cause Keely, to the chag- rin of those directors, would fly into passion at the merest suggestion or chicanery or collision and would refuse to go on with the performance.
 The apparatus, plans, manuscripts, etc. which Keely died possessed of are now the property of the Keely Motor Company. The president of the com- pany, IS. l.. Alderman of New York, is confident. that Keely had discovered a powerful new force.
 The inventors wife claims that he left a manuscript of 2000 pages with her. explaining the whole system and the work he has done. The only diff culty may be, as it has been hitherto, that MT. Keelys explanations do not explain anything.
 In scientific circles the impression prevails that the last page in the his tory of the Keely invention has been turned

and needed engines of unusual strength to confine it within bounds.
 The same reason was given for not permitting any one but himself to manipulate his apparatus, and curious investigators were warned that they risked their lives if they meddled with it except under his supervision.
 Edison once offered to give bond in a.y amount that could be agreed upon to protect the exposure of Keely's al- effected, and generate a force that could fire gun or move tons of inertia.
 He gave experiments of this nature at Sandy Hook Proving Station in 1888 legged secret if he could be permitted to enter the workshop of Keely and assist him jointly in the mechanical development and application of his mysterious force. This offer was re- jected, and the skepticism regarding k fly was not diminished.
 Keely was an expert in the theory ard art of music He was master of the theory of harmony. He was not only an instrumentalist. but a com poser, and in that attainment lay the primary element of his alleged discov- cry. This was strange relation or affinity between the forces of nature and harmonic forces. He went so far as to advance the startling proposition that the rotation of planets in their orbits was produced by the alternating
The San Francisco call., 1898-12-11

power of atomic energy. He said he had pursued the analysis of his theme to the eighth power, where he reached the substance of luminosity, and there. without attempting to theorize further on the origin of things universal. he stopped and put all his skill and mental resources to the task of. harnessing the power of atoms to the economy of life
 Twelve years ago, about half the period of his experimentation. he aban- doned the molecules of water as the basis of his task and directed his at tention solely to the molecules of air He said that in the course of this work he had produced a dynamic energy of 10 900 pounds to the inch in a Torri- cellian vacuum. He said he could eX- haust the air from a tube. getting a vacuum as nearly perfect as could be in the presence of Lieutenant Zalinski and other students of science, some of whom were profound skeptics and in- sisted on the theory that Keely used nothing but compressed air.
 ZalinsN was then busily engaged in the study of pneumatics, which subse- quently resulted in his development of the pneumatic dynamite gul. the type of weapon from which the Vesuvius last summer hurled her earthquakes at Santiagos forts. Their particular mis- sion was to witness the experimental firing of Keely's so-called yaporic gum but Keely who was in great

good humor that night, gave them the whole show and seemed hugely pleased as their attitude of polite incredulity z gradually yielded to the appearance of utter mystification
 Lieutenant Zalinski subsequently, ex- pressed the confident belief that the explosive force behind the bullets fired from KeelyS little yacht cannon was nothing more nor less than compressed air. and as recognized, expert Lieu tenant Zalinski ought to know, but he was polite enough or discreet enough to express no such opinion that night in the presence of Keely.
 Among the other experiments shown that evening was Keely's surprising feat of raising 70O-pound weight at the long end of a siX-foot lever with one-inch fulcrum. He professed to ac- complsh this by simply connecting his generator with a small piston act ing on the lever Lieutenant Zalinski, however looked the lever and the weight over carefully, and then asked Keely whether he thought the force of the etheric vapor would be powerful enough to raise the long arm of the lever with the added weight of the lieutenant's manly form perched upon it.
 Keely good naturedly thought he could do the trick quite easily So Zalinski climbed up on the end of the lever, finding a foothold on the great iron weight and teetered there smil- ingly balancing himself in midair. Keely turned a few stopcocks. Then there was a slight sound in the gen. orator and up shot the long arm of the lever with such force as to hurl the lieutenant up among the cobwebs in the rafters almost as promptly as Zalinski's s gun now hurls it's dreaded earthquakes. The pneumatic expert came down safe ly and with his good nature unruffied As he brushed the dust from his slouch hat he expressed himself as quite con- vinced that there was power under that lever But he was conservative enough, even then, to express no opin- ion as to the nature of that power
 Many investigators, scientific and otherwise, have seen KeelyS experi- ments. United States Government ex- perts have witnessed them. Capitalists with millions at their disposal have sought to control his inventions; yet there has always been an unreadiness thing practical. He was always just within reach of the goal, but he never got there.
 If an imposter, he was certainly an extraordinary one. Few men could have maintained for twenty-five years so successful a game of trickery not only enlisting the sympathetic interest of such distinguished gentlemen as the late Professor Joseph Leidy, of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania; George H Boker, late Minister of the United States to Turkey, and the late John Welch, Minister to the Court of St James, but also conjuring thousands of dollars from the pockets of more or less hard-headed capitalists and New

astic supporters ten or fifteen years ago were men who had been skeptlcs, but who had been won over not less py his dominating personal force than py the seeming miracles that he showed them in his little shop.
 As a rule he did not hold their con- fidence as readily as he won 1t. His chronic delays and reiterated excuses wore out their patience finally, and the stock of the so-called keely Motor Company has been repeatedly unloaded, but only to be taken up by some new and equally sanguine converts. Ana so this bubble, if bubble it be, has been tossed from hand to hand for twenty five years but never quite effectually pricked.
 No patents were ever secured with devices which Keely invented. Charles B. Collier, a lawyer of New York. was retained by Keely and his company in 1896 to apply for letters patent on the Keely inventions. Detailed drawings were made and elaborate provisional specifications were written. The designs were never completed in a form to be submitted to the Patent Office. Some months ago MT. Collier observing Keely's failing health, suggested some plan for preserving keely'S secret Tn the event of death. He proposed that a crucial test of Keely's mechan1sms should be made in the presence of him. self, of Lancaster Thomas. director of the company, and of Geor~e H. How ard a patent attorney at Washington. so that they could dismantle. adjust and operate the devices as Keely did. The proposition was submitted to the board of directors on October last, and tabled Mr. Collier then withdrew from his professional relations with Keely and the company, after having been associated with Keely as his counsel and director in the organiza- tion for more than ten years.
 In every respect was keely a re- markable man. He had been a musi- clan. an Indian fighter on the plains. a circus performer and a sleight of hand artist He was born in Philadelphia in 1837 His fathers parents were German and French. His mother S were En fish and Swedish. His grand father was a composer and a leader of an orchestra in Baden-Baden. His father was an ironworker.
 His birthplace was a little two-story frame house, which stood until few years ago at the corner of Jacoby anG Cherry streets. Both his parents died before he was ten years old. and he went to live with his grandparents They thrust him into the world at ar early age, and for several years he was a = nderer He fought Indians in the West, was wounded and was taken to hospital.
 Coming back to Philadelphia after a life of adventure, keely became leader of an orchestra.
 Then he drifted into mechanics. and in 1874 he announced that he had ar engine that would go of it's own accord Some prominent New Workers took Keely seriously enough to raise 000(

York men of affairs, who took him and his motor so seriously as to invest heavily in various devices.
 Whichever view one takes of Keely, therefore, warrants more than pass ing interest in the mans personality.
 He was endowed with the physique of giant and a marvellous energy and vitality Six feet or more in height, with a hercuean frame, he was in ap- pearance, at least. man born for great things. His swarthy face with its heavy growth of black beard and mus tache was the very embodiment of an artists ideal of self-reliance and great strength of character. And every ounce of this tremendous force and vital ener gy seemed to be directed toward the achievement of hi. purpose.
 It has been said often that, while KeelyS twenty-five years of unkept promises he-ve emptied the pockets of not few his followers, he himself has luxuriated at his home in damask furniture and carpets of Softest nap. Keely, as a matter of fact, lived fairly well, but neither lavishly nor ostenta- tiously, and he spent far more time during those twenty years in the dingy little shop, with it's wires and cylinders and dismantled relics of previous ex- periments, than he did at his own hearthstone.
 The mans fingers were the best pos sible evidence of his unf1agging indus try. The grasp of his hand was like the clutch of wise. His palms were as hard as bone and usually as soiled as those of a coal heaver. His years of strumming at wires and working in iron. copper and steel had developed great callouS knobs at the ends of the fingers until the digits of this giant were as hard and twice as thick and broad as those of fingers on the hands of healthy human being.
 Keely could not fairly be called a man of culture. His manners were more gruff than suave, and he frequently Tn conversation murdered the Queens English outrageously. He maintained considerable interest in church affairs. For years he was a regular attendant, with his wife, at the services of the Memorial Baptist Church, near his home, at Broad and Master streets, Philadelphia. He was a generous giver too, when the collection plate was passed, and there were those among the skeptics who cited these characteristics as only further proofs of the man s cunning in playing what they called his gigantic confidence game.
 Keely withal was a man of sensitive nature. He was keenly alive to the many slings of ridicule of which he was the target, but his whole bearing was that of a man who hopes and expects to live to confound his enemies and who in the meanwhile has no time to bother with their gibes.
 It was doubtless this almost superb air of self-reliance which, if not genuine was a masterly piece of stimulation, that so often enabled him to win the confidence of shrewd calculating men of business. Some of his most enthuSi-
