Great Hoaxes of History
Speaking OF Explorer Cook, Keeley and His Ether
Waves Fooled EN- All Once
wonderfully contrived m

A wonderfully contrived ma
chine, called a "vibratory gener-
ator" by it's inventor, John Wor-
rell Kelley, was exhibited to an
awed lot of Philadelphians No
vember 10, 1874, by that prince
of charlatans, who posed for a
quarter of a century as the
worlds greatest inventor and dis
coverer.
From old Philadelphia news of
this wonder of wonders" flashed
over the world. Tests made by
scientists of the University of
Pennsylvania showed no trace of
any known force. Ergo, perpetu-
al motion was an assured fact!
All Kelley had to do was to
snap his fingers, look wise, and
his machinery would buzz like a
six-cylinder automobile. In the
height of his glory he said that
with one quart of water he would
be able to send a train from Phil
tauNiPhid w Odi II IduCISCp. Elu6I
waves did it, he declared.
Lippincott's Magazine main
tained that 'the brain of an Aris-
totle was needed to discern and
grasp Keeley's ideas, to interpret
and define them"
Keeley's excuse for not allow
ling anyone into the secret was
based upon the commercial value.
When his stockholders kicked he
hurled such terms at them as
molecular vibration, "cympathet-
&c equilibrium, Oscillation OF
the atom," and the. average man
quailed beneath his superior
glance.
One day Keeley- died. and then
the whole hoax was exposed by
excavations made under the house
Hidedn in cellar was a large
globe, which had been filled with
compressed air; all about were
brass tubes, connecting the globe

MAY BRING
ROOSEVELT
HERE
PLAN EVOLVED TO HAVE HIM
RETURN FROM HIS HUNT
BY WAY OF THE PACIFIC
AND MAKE BIG TOUR OF
THE COAST.

Bring ex-President Roosevelt
back to America around the world
and have him land at Tacoma.
That is the program to be urged
by this city. Mayor Linck this
afternoon presented the matter to
the Commercial club and cham
Der of commerce and both will
take steps to cooperate in the
plan.
Yesterday afternoon Mayor
Linck received a telegram from
the Denver Post suggesting that
President Roosevelt should be
brought back to his native coun-
try by way of the Pacific, which
will give him a triumphal tour
home through the entire nation.
The Post agreed that If the
West will take the matter up, it
will deliver the invitation to him
at Khartoum when he comes back
to the coast from the interior of
Africa.
The whole Western coast will
probably take the proposition up
and a big invitation will be ex-
tended Mr.. Roosevelt to come this
way.

DUBOIS, Pa, Dec. 28.-Ths
bodies of seven children were re-
covered today from the ruins OF
the home Steve Bronosky, whicl

The children ranged from 10 IL

The fire started from an over
heated stove in the kitchen. The
woodwork was ablaze before Bro.
nosky realized it, and a minute
later keg of powder. forgotten
in the excitement, exploded with
terrific force, spreading the fire &c
all parts of the house and cutt.ne
off every means of escape fror
the upper part of the place, wihe. {
the children lay asleep.
Bronosky, his wife and :
boarder were badly burned and
may die. Mrs. Bronosky made
an Intellectual attempt to reqc!
her children by scaling the rem
nant of stairway connecting the
first floor with the bedrooms.
Six of the dead children be-

and one to the boarder.
