Inventor Keely, Of Motor Fame, Died Last
Friday.
John w. Keely, the inventor of the
Keely motor, died last Friday at his
home in Philadelphia with pneumonia.
He was taken i'll on the previous Sat-
urday, and continued to grow steadily
worse until his death. Mr.. Keely was
81 years of age and leaves widow:
He was a native of that city. His
education was meagre, and at an early
age he became carpenter, following
that trade until 1872. It was in that
year that he announced his discovery
of new force by which motive pow
or would be revolutionized. Follow
ing this, he constructed what has be-
come known as the Keely motor. On
November 10, 1874, he gave its first
public exhibition before a number of
capitalists and scientists, who advan-
ced 100000 to enable him to perfect
his discovery and apply the principle.
Since then large sums of money have
been expended on experiments, with
out ay practical public results.
Between 1874 and 1891, Kelley con-
structed and discarded 129 different
models. In his first models he en-
ployed water as generator, but later
the experiments were made with what
he called "liberator," machine
equipped with large number of tun.
ing forks, which, he claimed, disinte-
grated the air and released powerful
etheric force.
In 1888 he was for q time confined
in Jail for contempt of court in refus-
sing to disclose the secret by which
he produced many remarkable effects
in the presence of experts, but until
his death the secret was known only
to himself.

her smile is so heartbroken.
"With ghosts to trouble her and a
lover to bemoan she has surely some ex-
cuse for that" said L
"Yes, don't deny it. But why has
she lover to bemoan? He seemed
proper man beyond the ordinary. Why
let him go as she did? Even her sister
admits that she loved him."

"Well, there isn't much story to it.
He is young man from over the noun

here to visit the Spears, believe, and
seeing Lucetta one day leaning on the
gate in front of her house he fell in love
with her and began to pay her his at

united mind of the whole village, I re-
marked: 1.-THE young do not usually
throw aside such prospects without e1-

that Lucetta was governed by principle

"Principle? What principle could she
have had in letting a desirable husband
go?"
"She may have thought the match
