Thirty Years of Experiment Unre-
 wsrded Win Success.

There car be nc question Gs to the
 great interest that the inventor Keely
 succeeded in arcasing in the work
 which he carried on in5srmi.cntly fer
 nearly thirty years and which was left incomplete at his death. Every one
 EFrho was engaged in manufacturing or transportation or in any ether indus
 try in which power is required saw the immense impor ance of a scheme that
 promised to reduce the cost Of this
 agent. Science, always alert in new facts, though highly exacting in the
 demonstrations it demarEs, was at tentive to an alleged discovery Of h1theT1O unknown form oI energy And the general pubiif, which is unfanniIia- with the nature Of the evidence needed to establish the truth Of a story, aIt6 is ready to jump at conclusions CT slight pToYOcati0n, was tempted 70 accept keely s claims at their face value. and
 to regard hIm as one Of the greatest benef2ctors ot the human race.
 But while he succeeded in enIistinE F2any nysl lhSRsGred Lio1sands of dollars Of Gtner- peoples money in his enterprise, and certainly made 8, brave show. of mechanism whenever he gave an ex- hibi-ion. the Philadelphian never achieved any practical result. That is to say, hs never completed the machine that was harnessed to lathe, loom, rail- way car CT pump, or performed an hours labor under the control or super intendence of 2 shcp foreman or other skilled enlploye Of q disinterested out sider. J. has been s.lid that some of his appliances Tn his private laboratory under the direction of the inventor himself, and surrounded by moral and other safeguards against examination, have been made to spin and globes to revolye iE a mysterious. nlanner, and the performances EIYe been explained in language that was almost, if not al- ;ggcthei', incomprehenalule. So that the most acute observers have been left uncertain whether the man was a clever fraud or the author cf some precious discovery.
 Few things have done 90 much to prejudice scientific people against Keely as the peculiar phra5eology en- ploycd by him and by his champion, Mrs. Bloomfield Moore. Mrs. Moore, in a rhapsodic effusiOn entitled The Veil Withdrawn" prin. ed in a nlaga- zine more than three years ago, had a good deal to say about sympathetic physics polar negative attraction,' the latent current Of the triune polar HUN.

There would be glina- of an idea here and there in this singular talk, but by those who g.ore accustomed to the use of terms Whiso significance was well understood by the persons addressed. such 1an- guage was naturally received with inn patience. Moreover, Keely himself seemed to change his ground from time 'o time. his explanations and apparatus varying moro or legs at s.cCessiTe c1- h. hitIcnE..
