his secret.
without his personal magnetism Mr..
Keely might have worked on the inven-
ton until the end of time for all the f1nan-
cial backing he would have drawn for the
development Of his new power. And with
out the motor he would have remained
always the plain J. w. Keely he was when
an apprentice and a musician.
In early youth Mr.. Keely was a MEM
Der of a theatrical orchestra and expert
mented with the vibrations of the tuning
fork. Later he became a decorative
painter. But from the little that Is known
of his early life this one fact stands out
clear-he knew something about music
and observed vibrations. That takes him
into the prime of his life and later, and
to the first announcement of the discov-
cry of the Keely motor.
In later years he talked of the earlier
days only from the standpoint of the
scientist and the inventor of the motor.
His story was that he experimental a
good deal with sound vibrations after he
had started the tuning fork. He made
machines, took them to pieces, put them
together, and then smashed them. All
the while he was getting poorer and poor

When he was boy he saw the window
of his shop shake, and minutes after the
wagon which had shaken it went past.

be heard when the window betrayed it's
coming Another time he found there
as certain faucet in the house which,
when turned in a certain way, and at
certain hour of the day, would permit the
water to drip; and that the dripping of
the water at that time would shake the
whole house. He went into the rooms
next door, and found the fall of that
water-a drop at a time, remember-could
be felt there. Another time number of
men were practicing drum corps in
street, and storm came up, and they
went into hall. The score made all the
drums break into a concerted roll on an
instant And as the roar of that drum
ming smote the air the windows were
broken. s" ~.
From all this he understood there was
such thing as sympathetic vibration by
which force could, under certain cOndi-
lions, be communicated from one object
to another And he believed this force
was tremendous.
Finally he made a machine that seemed
to get an enormous power out of a little
bit of energy. 1t didn't need any steam or
compressed air or electricity, but-and
this the queer part-it started at the
sound Of a fiddle bow.
That was the beginning of the Keely
motor. Philadelphia and it's sister cities
laughed in their sleeves at the preposterous
idea. and Mr.. Keeiy kept on working in

Emperor Nicholas yearns for a change,
and is convinced that the present cOndi-
ton Of affairs is intolerable. For he has
just been travelling through his empire
and the extraordinary measures which
the authorities invariably devise for his
safety on such occasions are calculated to
convince him that his people are dissatis-
fed, and that he cannot rely upon their
loyalty or upon their affections
In fact, he is safer abroad. even in Ger

Thus far the war between the United

fected service between Northern and
Southern Atlantic and Gulf ports, as
far as steamship lines are concerned.

cord
The Old Dominion the Cromwell, the
Clyde, the Merchants and Miners and
the Ocean Steamship lines continue to
maintain their regular sailings, and
thus far have given no notice of sus-
pension.
1T seems to be the general impression
among the represen tatives of these
companies tina the United States fleet
is able 10 protect coastwise vessels ana
that there is but little danger of cap
cure. The Old Dominion Line, accord
ing to the statement of its vice-presi-
dent has decided TO assume war risks
and issue bills of lading to protect ali
shippers. This policy has been follow
ed by several of the other compa mics.
The prncipa! railroad companies in
the South. however, have taken into
consideration the question OF a posi-
BILE cessation of steamship service from
southern ports, and the majority OF the
companies announce that goods which
cannot be sent by way of the Southern

thus avoiding any risk to the owner.
