John w. Keely, the man who gained
a certain sort of fame from the inven-
tlon Of the Kelly motor has died, and
left the problem Of perpetual motion
shll unsolved. In fact, It can be said
with truth that he made no contribu-
ton to tho subject that Is likely to
prove Of any scientific value. lie be-
lleved IN himself, and was thoroughly
convinced that he had made discoy-
cry which would revolutionize the mo-
tive powers In common use; but he has
now passed away from earth, his ex-
pected and promised revolution has not
occurred, and 1t certainly IS not going
to occur during the closing years of
the nineteenth century. II was the
policy Of Keely to surround his alleged
invention with an air Of mystery SO
thick that the public could not pene-
trate II. For a long time this plan
worked wen, and many We're led to be-
lieve that he had indeed made a won
derful discovery. But as years passed
and nothing came of 1t, men who had
invested in the stock grew suspicious,
and demanded to know when they
might expect at least some promise of
return for their outlay. Keely even
went to prison rather than give away
his secret, but his machine was finally
examined by scientific experts, who
concluded that. ingenious though II
was, It gave no promise of the perform
ance Of those remarkable things which
It's inventor claimed for It. The prlnci-
pie that Keely sought to apply was
| that Of the vibration Of the molecules
OF the air For lack Of a better name,
no called this "apergy," and claimed
| that as these vibrations were perpet-
ual, all he had 10 do would be to pro
duce machine that would respond to
them, and then he would have perpet-
ual motion The theory was a pretty
one true perhaps. to a certain extent;
but 1t has not been yet applied In such
way as TO be of any use to the world.
II must be first shown that sufficient
power can be derived from this prlnci-
pie to do the work that electricity and
steam are now doing before any yalua-
bic results can follow and the problem
of perpetual motion from one OF ma
lures forces be completely solved.
lIeely's death may revive for while,
mt least interest in this subject, and 1t
is possible that some good may come
from the work that he tried to do,
even though he failed Mt 1t. He can
not be classed among the worlds
greatest inventors; but, In view Of the
wonderful discoveries that are now be-
Ing made In all fields Of scientific re
search. who can say that the day viii
not yet come when this force to which
IIeoly pinned hls faith or some other
akin to It. viii be harnessed down by
man and forced to obey his commands?

dentist. "and there IS great deal OF

strength TO the teeth, and with them
