John Kccly , a native Philadelphia ! ! , IB a musician and an organist of no mean attnilihiiitits Many years ago twenty or more Mr. Keoly , in building and l la.ying tliu organ , was struck with the fact tlmtf 10 vibrations of the organ ] ilpc.i nrpthifcuil not only what wo called sound ** , but that a vast amount of force- r power was developed , Milltclont in many instances to cause vast buildings to tremble as though .shaken by a giant's hand Havintr brains , Mr. Kccly began to Inquire whether this force might not be- utilised , lie noticed ul.so , or thought ho did , that harmony had .something to do with the volume of force emitted by the vibrations. With these indistinct and shadowy hints he went to work. No one had ever Fought what ho was seeking a force from vibrations , which could be utlhed- in place of water and steam , lie was an explorer in a Hold utterly now. Ho could consult only with his own busy brain.- IIo . had no predecessor on that traeklc.ss- sea. . Ho was another Columbus , reaching out after what all but ho Boomed to re- gard - as a chimera. For years ho labored on alone and in poverty. At length he succeeded in inspiring a few friends with conlidoneo. They rallied around him. A company was formed. Money was fur- nished ¬ him. Machine after machine for generating the new force was .invented , tested , and discarded. Machine after constructed for the applica- tion ¬ of tuo force , tested and discarded. Hut progress was made with each trial. New Ideascamo with each failure. Mean- while ¬ the public press , when it stooped to notice him , was lavish with rid.culo- ."Fraud . , " "humbug , " "impostor , " "mad ¬ man , " "crank , " wore among the mildest opithetrt employed , while those who assisted Mr. Kccly were denounced as- 'dupes ami fools.

THK VISIT. Under guidance of my friend I soon reached Mr. Keely's work shop a small , two-story brick structure on North Twen- tieth ¬ street , Philadelphia. Hero , sur- rounded ¬ by hundreds of curious , unfix- mMai' - , contrivances , 1 found this man w'liyjr 1 am not mistaken , will have a name in history when his traduccrs shall bo forgotten. John W Keoly is a man whoso physicpio would be noticeable any ¬ where. He is fully MX feet in height , with n largohead , co.xl black eyes , d-irk com- plexion , and wearing constantly u thoughtful expression , llo received mo cordially , and after a few moments spent iu giving some general inlormation , pro- ceeded ¬ to explain the "machines ho now uses in the production and application of his now force. ' "THE I.IUEIIA.TOII. " This , as its name indicates , is the in- strument employed for generating and garnering the force. It is a metallic in- strument ¬ about three feet in height , and stands Upon n wooden pedestal , which may "bo moved easily about the room , to show that it has no connection with tubes or pipes qr lovers by which power may bo- becretly communicated. The liberator itself stands open before you , and may- be subjoe'teil to the closest investigation. Near the bottom , lastoned upon u me- tallic rim , are four or live largo tuning forks. These stand upright. Within these , in a horizontal position , supported by a small metallic standard in its centre , is a circular stool plate about eighteen or twenty inches in diameter. Above and around the machine , and attached to higher rims , are several brass tubes , within which arc small , slender , vibrat- ing ¬ steel blades. On tlut top of the liber- ator is a brass globe four or live inches in diameter , which is used to collect and re- tain the force until drawn oil' for use. Having courteously shown all these different parts of the liberator and given the mo.it ample opportunity of guarding ngaltlbt imposition , Mr. Keoly proceeds to generate the now force named by him "etlieric vapor , or inter-atomic forco. " This he doosuy drawing an ordinary violin bow' a few times across the stationary tuning forks , and striking the circular metallic plate a times with a small hiunnuu' faced with rubber. This is nil. In two minutes the machine is charged and ready for business. That this is so Mr. Kccly proceeds to show by- uthreefold KXIT.MMKNT. 1. By a heavy iron lover of the first class , as follows ; To the brass globe on the top pf the liberator whore , as wo have Keen , the force is garnered , Mr. Keoly at- Inches a long brass tuba something over half an inch in diameter , having an ori- lieu not larger than a common knitting needle , The. other end is connected with u oyllnuhr , in which plays an upright piston one-half inch in diameter. On llio upper end nf this piston rests a long heavy iron lover. To raise the lover alone apicssnroof l.GOO pounds to the squaru inch is ueeoi ary. When all is ready Mr- .Kccly . turns a wheel valve , and imme- diately - the foro6 IB liberated and the level is lifted.And ( miw weights are added to the extremity of thn long arm of tint lovoi until a pressure is demanded to raise it- emuil to 20,000 pounds to the square ineli , The lover rises with apparent ease when the force is fciijlllod , and when it is shul- oil' the lever falls.

As this is the practical end aimed at , and as this is the tct of sue- cei - * , I wish to lay before your readers a report recently published in thoScientilic- Areim by its editor , lr A Wilford Hall , who with some thirty otherScientific gen- tlemen ¬ recently investigated the now mo- tive ¬ power at Mr. Kecly's shop , extend- ing ¬ their investigations through four hour" . Says Dr. Hall in the Arena for July , 188(5 ( , page 50- 'These experiments having been con- tinued ¬ till satisfactory all iotin l, and until man } present had been supplied with flattened bullets , the dual and most important demonstration of all wa givcn- in the actual running of the 'Ivcely Motor * it.H'll , ollileli the world has heard so much , and which consisted of a twenty- livehorse - power rotary engine actuated alone by this so-called ctlieric vapor. And hero we approach the description of- n performance In verj simple machinery for which our readei.s will need to sum- mon all their resources ot credulity in- oriter not to suspect us of deliberate fab- rication. . lt.it wo declare in advance that what wo are about to state are facts of which wo are n positively certain as we are that wo were personally then and there present.- "Tho . 'engine , ' if it may be thus desig- nated ¬ , consists of a smooth hollow sphere of metal about two feet in diameter. At- one end or polo of the sphere is lilted n- licd trunnion , around which it revolves , and at the other note n rotating trunnion made fast to tlio sphere , and thus in- tended ¬ to revolve with it. On this revolv- ing ¬ trunnion , which extends as a shaft beyond the frame which supports the sphere , was secured a common pulley of- a foot or so in diameter and of about six inches face , from which a belt of leather led to n saw , turning-lathe , etc. , in the room overhead. A valve-pipo leads into the interior of the sphere through an opening made in that trunnion , which remains stationary with the iron frame supporting the sphere. To the Inner end of this lixod trunnion ( as was shown by a similar sphere which was left open for inspection ) are secured numerous reso- nating ¬ tubes ailu.6the ( vibratory device ? , but which also remain stationary or fast to the inner end ot the trunnion without touching the revolving sphere. " .Now comes the mystery of mysteries in mechanical contrivances , namely , the revolving of this sphere as the valve- wheel at the trunnion is turned , thus ad- mitting ¬ the otheric vapor from the re- ceiver ¬ through the lloxible copper tube as before described- ."How . this 'engine' runs or on what principle n mechanical foothold can bo secured within this smooth , eniptyspherc- by the vapor for moving any kind of ma- chinery , was a matter concerning which no one present ventured to proller oven an approximate guess. Mr Keely ex- plains ¬ the process and the modus oper- and ¬ ! by saving that the gas when once let into the spore takes a direction which causes aortcx or whirl around its axis , thus brushing its inner surface at enor- mous ¬ velocity ami tat | ] this inter-atomic vapor is of silcll penetrating nature that it upon the molecular struct- ure ¬ of the sphere itsc'f , thus propelling it along with it in its prodigious Iliglit. This , perhaps , is as good an explanation as is possible to get at during the present stage of his invention , though it is utterly incomprehensible to the writer , even after thinking and dreaming over it for weeks since witnessing this marvelous tcaturc in the working of the engine- ."What . is most astonishing about the rotation of this sphere , by simply turninjr- on the vapor , is tlic fact that there is no escape for the gas anywhere after it has done its work , nor any ouilct or exhaust- pipe for such escape , as is well known to bo absolutely necessary in the. use of any gas , liquid or vapor known to mechanics , and by which engines are readily driven. Instead of such apparently essential pro- vision ¬ it seems , when the pressure of vapor is once admitted and the claimed whirling process has commenced , that it goes on indelinitely in some unaccounta- ble ¬ manner , doing its work with unabated energy , and with no wings or internal projecting abutments against which to brace itself and thus exert a moving pressure. And even if there were such projecting abutments , the force , when once inside tlio globe , must be free , ac- coiding - to the laws of iluid pressure , to act on both sides of such projections , thus preventing all motion of the sphere by stable equilibrium. This must be so , according to all known or even conceiva- ble ¬ principles or laws of mechaiiic.s. " "Another.und perhaps still the strangest performance of all , in tlio operation of this engine , is the startling fact that Mr- .Keely . can cause the sphere to revolve in cither direction and with similar power md velocity by letting the gas in at the same valve , and precisely in the same way. Wo suggested to him several times during the hour thp engine was working , which way to , starL the globe revolving , and after touching it with his lingers and moving it slightly in the direction wo- named'ho would turn on the force and the revolutions would begin with almost terrific velocity in the direction wo had indicated- ."This . single fact , with absolutely no exhaust ami witli no possible piston ar- rangement ¬ or movable abutment device inside as in rotary steam , gas and water engines , demonstrates to our mind be- yond ¬ the shadow of a doubt that the sjihcro must revolve by the whirling mo- tion ¬ of the vapor inside of it , as lr- .Keelv . cl'iims , and that the direction ot this vortex , or whirl of gas , must bo de- termined ¬ by tlio initial push given the. sphere bv the hand of the operator. This initial push of the globe in a now direc- tion ¬ must therefore change in some way tlio oml nf the inlet pipe to an opposite whirl nt the point whore it emerges from the trunnion withiiKtlui.sphere. Still the mystery of its tlirniii'i at. all remains the bnmo- ."Wo . have had sonio considerable ov- pcrienco - of late years in physical and mechanical investigations , and , as our friends believe , with some degree of suc- cess ¬ in solving intricate scientific prob- lems ¬ , but wo have never before been so utterly nonplussed and at our wits' end ns in trving to give a rational explanation of this Keely engine on any known or conceivable principles of physical science or mechanics- ."That . the engine , as well ns the frame on which it runs , is entirely disconnected from the door , having no pipes , wires or other devices loading below or outside of the building by which extraneous power can communicate with the sphere to cause it to icvolvo , is incontcstibly cer- tain ¬ , since the fullest opportunity was given us to every part of it and the foundation on which it rested. That it actually runs , with the , most tremen- dous ¬ mechanical power tuid velocity , alone from the gas or vapor , or whatever it is , lut into it by turning the valve- wheel referred to , wo are willing to stake and risk what little reputation wo have , or ever expect to possess , tor bcloutillo or mechanical sagacity. Wo have been warned by friends since returning from the exhibition > ingour opinion privately , not to injure our reputation by- a public statement of such facts , liut our reply has been that nil the reputation wo have earned has been from frankly avow- ing ¬ our conscientious convictions upon every physical problem picscnting itself , and however much sued opinions might- ily into the face of the prevailing notions ot science , "Tho power ot the ongluo to do cff- lciont mechanical work was abundantly demonstrated in sawing wood , runninp turning lathes , etc. . in the room over- head , connected by belting from the pul- ley attached to one of the trunnions , uni also by a plank pressed down on this driving pulley , in older to check its mo lion by friction , witli the weight of twc tlio plank * * * men resting on , "With the actual running of this engine as an incomprehensible mybtery , am with the demonstrated fuel of u success ill application of its mechanical power o do work , there can no longer bo any nannor of question but that Mr. Keely ins made startling discoveries both in a- icw and undreamed of motive power and Is mechanical application to machinery ) y new methods as astonishing as they arc novel. " So far. Dr. Hall. And now what is the nev liable conclusion to which wo are Iriven in view of these experiments re- icated - again and again , for years past , n the presence of the mo t competent vltnessis ? Is it not that John W. Keely- uts developed from the utmospherlo air.- at . its ordinary temperature and normal HT.ssuro , by means of vibrations alone , a- icw force capable of application twhur- svcr - force may bo applied and utilised ? le is now at work upon a larger and n ore perfect engine one that will show .V >0 horse power and when this Is com- ilctc.l - , which will be done in two or three nonths , we shall be prcpaicd for rcsulUs hat will revolutionize the motive power of the world.- Ami . is this now force so utterly inv irobable that it should bo rejected with- nit investigation , us some seem to think ? ) oe.s not tlic atmospheric air under ecr- ain conditions as in the tornado ox- ilbit - a power absolutely irresistible' And what if Mr. Keely has discovered the "hidings of this power , " and is able to apply it to useful purposes , as many other forces of nature are applied ? If water , while in its normal condition , has a certain force when applied to the wheel , and a very greatly intensified force when expanded by heat into steam , why may lot the atmospheric air bo subjected to conditions which will develop miw and wonderful characteristics ? The writer of this article suggested in May ast to Mr. Keely the title "Bottled Cy- clones" ¬ for Ins wonderful force. Who can toll but that he is actually able to control and govern the element , whatever t may bo. vvliieh forages has been mani- fest ¬ in the irresistible energy of the cyclone and tornado ? It seems to bo forgotten by those who are so ready to pronounce Air. Keely's discovery impossible , that over since the use of the mercury pump to produce a vacuum , the atmospheric air , when in its state of highest tenuity , has been discov- jred - bv scientists to present character- sties which indicate that it has been changed into an entirely new element in- lature. . Just what this element is , re- mains ¬ as yet undetermined ; but that it is- no longer ordinary atmospheric air , is- settled. . Says Francis 11. Upton , Mr- .lidison's . mathematician , in Scribnor's Monthly for February , 1880 , page fl8i : "It is found that by the use of the mer- cury ¬ pumps and chemical appliances , where a perfect vacuum is formed , the minute portion of air remaining shows some remarkable properties. When elec- tricity ¬ under strong pressure passes through an Edison lamp , the whole bulb shines witli a delicate blue light. So re- markable ¬ is the behavior of various sub- stances in a vacuum prepared by means of mercury pumps that physicists con- sider ¬ that a gas thus rarilied constitutes mother state of matter , differing as much rom that of an ordinary gas ( either un- der ¬ atmospheric pressure , or with the pressure removed by means of a common iir pump ) as a gas differs from a liquid , or a liquid from u solid. " If this is so , it requires no ordinary temerity to pronounce in advance and without investigation the Keely Motor an- mpossibility. . In view of the advance- nent - made in t'ho last fifty years , all nlong the line of sejentilio discovery , the .ruo philosopher will be very slow to cry "humbug" whenever a now invention is- mnounccd , however wonderful it may at- irst sight appear. Scores of witnesses whoso llrst attitude toward the invention under consideration , was that of absolute skepticism , are now ready to aver that iftcr caicful consideration and actual in- vestigation ¬ , they believe in Mr. Keely and lis motor. One notable instance ol this character has come to the knowledge of the writer. A leading scientist of Phila- delphia , adopting the cry of the press of- iraud and hunibug against the Keely Motor , refused for years to make a per- sonal ¬ investigation. At length , through . 'ne earnest solicitation of a warm per- sonal ¬ friend , ho was persuaded to "come and sec. " After a most careful and pro- tracted investigation he loft the shop and walked some rods without uttering a- word. . This friend at length asked his opinion of what ho had seen. "Well , " said he , " 1 must confess that I know of nothing more wonderful , except the miracles of Christ. " And yet , in tlio opinion of the present writer , there is nothing miraculous here. It is simply the discovery pf a now force in nature , and the devising of a method by which that force may bo utili.ed.- Itonmiicc. . . T. It.

THK VISIT.Under guidance of my friend I soon

reached Mr. Keely's work shop a small ,

two-story brick structure on North Twen-tieth

¬

street , Philadelphia. Hero , sur-rounded

¬

by hundreds of curious , unfix-mMai'

-

, contrivances , 1 found this manw'liyjr 1 am not mistaken , will have aname in history when his traduccrs shallbo forgotten. John W Keoly is a manwhoso physicpio would be noticeable any ¬

where. He is fully MX feet in height , withn largohead , co.xl black eyes , d-irk com-plexion , and wearing constantly uthoughtful expression , llo received mocordially , and after a few moments spentiu giving some general inlormation , pro-ceeded

¬

to explain the "machines ho nowuses in the production and application ofhis now force. '

"THE I.IUEIIA.TOII. "This , as its name indicates , is the in-

strument employed for generating andgarnering the force. It is a metallic in-

strument¬

about three feet in height , andstands Upon n wooden pedestal , whichmay "bo moved easily about the room , toshow that it has no connection with tubesor pipes qr lovers by which power may bo-

becretly communicated. The liberatoritself stands open before you , and may-be subjoe'teil to the closest investigation.Near the bottom , lastoned upon u me-tallic rim , are four or live largo tuningforks. These stand upright. Withinthese , in a horizontal position , supportedby a small metallic standard in its centre ,

is a circular stool plate about eighteen ortwenty inches in diameter. Above andaround the machine , and attached tohigher rims , are several brass tubes ,

within which arc small , slender , vibrat-ing

¬

steel blades. On tlut top of the liber-ator is a brass globe four or live inches indiameter , which is used to collect and re-

tain the force until drawn oil' for use.Having courteously shown all these

different parts of the liberator and giventhe mo.it ample opportunity of guardingngaltlbt imposition , Mr. Keoly proceedsto generate the now force named by him"etlieric vapor, or inter-atomic forco. "This he doosuy drawing an ordinary violinbow' a few times across the stationarytuning forks , and striking the circularmetallic plate a times with asmall hiunnuu' faced with rubber. Thisis nil. In two minutes the machine ischarged and ready for business. Thatthis is so Mr. Kccly proceeds to show by-uthreefold

oriter not to suspect us of deliberate fab-rication. . lt.it wo declare in advance thatwhat wo are about to state are facts ofwhich wo are n positively certain as weare that wo were personally then andthere present.-

"Tho.

'engine , ' if it may be thus desig-nated

¬

, consists of a smooth hollow sphereof metal about two feet in diameter. At-

one end or polo of the sphere is lilted n-

licd trunnion , around which it revolves ,

and at the other note n rotating trunnionmade fast to tlio sphere , and thus in-

tended¬

to revolve with it. On this revolv-ing

¬

trunnion , which extends as a shaftbeyond the frame which supports thesphere , was secured a common pulley of-

a foot or so in diameter and of about sixinches face , from which a belt of leatherled to n saw , turning-lathe , etc. , in theroom overhead. A valve-pipo leads intothe interior of the sphere through anopening made in that trunnion , whichremains stationary with the iron framesupporting the sphere. To the Inner endof this lixod trunnion (as was shown by asimilar sphere which was left open forinspection ) are secured numerous reso-nating

¬

tubes ailu.6the ( vibratory device ? ,but which also remain stationary or fastto the inner end ot the trunnion withouttouching the revolving sphere.

" .Now comes the mystery of mysteriesin mechanical contrivances , namely , therevolving of this sphere as the valve-wheel at the trunnion is turned , thus ad-mitting

¬

the otheric vapor from the re-ceiver

¬

through the lloxible copper tubeas before described-

."How.

this 'engine' runs or on whatprinciple n mechanical foothold can bosecured within this smooth , eniptyspherc-by the vapor for moving any kind of ma-chinery , was a matter concerning whichno one present ventured to proller ovenan approximate guess. Mr Keely ex-

plains¬

the process and the modus oper-and

¬

! by saving that the gas when oncelet into the spore takes a direction whichcauses aortcx or whirl around its axis ,

thus brushing its inner surface at enor-mous

¬

velocity ami tat| ] this inter-atomicvapor is of silcll penetrating naturethat it upon the molecular struct-ure

¬

of the sphere itsc'f , thus propelling italong with it in its prodigious Iliglit.This , perhaps , is as good an explanationas is possible to get at during the presentstage of his invention , though it is utterlyincomprehensible to the writer , evenafter thinking and dreaming over it forweeks since witnessing this marveloustcaturc in the working of the engine-

."What.

is most astonishing about therotation of this sphere , by simply turninjr-on the vapor , is tlic fact that there is noescape for the gas anywhere after it hasdone its work , nor any ouilct or exhaust-pipe for such escape , as is well known tobo absolutely necessary in the. use of anygas , liquid or vapor known to mechanics ,

and by which engines are readily driven.Instead of such apparently essential pro-vision

¬

it seems , when the pressure ofvapor is once admitted and the claimedwhirling process has commenced , that itgoes on indelinitely in some unaccounta-ble

¬

manner , doing its work with unabatedenergy , and with no wings or internalprojecting abutments against which tobrace itself and thus exert a movingpressure. And even if there were suchprojecting abutments , the force , whenonce inside tlio globe , must be free , ac-

coiding-

to the laws of iluid pressure , toact on both sides of such projections ,

thus preventing all motion of the sphereby stable equilibrium. This must be so ,

according to all known or even conceiva-ble

¬

principles or laws of mechaiiic.s. ""Another.und perhaps still the strangest

performance of all , in tlio operation ofthis engine , is the startling fact that Mr-.Keely

.

can cause the sphere to revolve incither direction and with similar powermd velocity by letting the gas in at thesame valve , and precisely in the sameway. Wo suggested to him several timesduring the hour thp engine was working ,

which way to , starL the globe revolving ,and after touching it with his lingers andmoving it slightly in the direction wo-

named'ho would turn on the force andthe revolutions would begin with almostterrific velocity in the direction wo hadindicated-

."This.

single fact , with absolutely noexhaust ami witli no possible piston ar-rangement

¬

or movable abutment deviceinside as in rotary steam , gas and waterengines , demonstrates to our mind be-yond

¬

the shadow of a doubt that thesjihcro must revolve by the whirling mo-tion

¬

of the vapor inside of it , as lr-.Keelv

.cl'iims , and that the direction ot

this vortex , or whirl of gas , must bo de-

termined¬

by tlio initial push given the.sphere bv the hand of the operator. Thisinitial push of the globe in a now direc-tion

¬

must therefore change in some waytlio oml nf the inlet pipe to an oppositewhirl nt the point whore it emerges fromthe trunnion withiiKtlui.sphere. Still themystery of its tlirniii'i at. all remains thebnmo-

."Wo.

pcrienco-

of late years in physical andmechanical investigations , and , as ourfriends believe , with some degree of suc-cess

¬

in solving intricate scientific prob-lems

¬

, but wo have never before been soutterly nonplussed and at our wits' endns in trving to give a rational explanationof this Keely engine on any known orconceivable principles of physical scienceor mechanics-

."That.

the engine , as well ns the frameon which it runs , is entirely disconnectedfrom the door , having no pipes , wires orother devices loading below or outside ofthe building by which extraneous powercan communicate with the sphere tocause it to icvolvo , is incontcstibly cer-tain

¬

, since the fullest opportunity wasgiven us to every part of it andthe foundation on which it rested. Thatit actually runs , with the, most tremen-dous

¬

mechanical power tuid velocity ,

alone from the gas or vapor , or whateverit is , lut into it by turning the valve- wheelreferred to , wo are willing to stake andrisk what little reputation wo have , orever expect to possess , tor bcloutillo ormechanical sagacity. Wo have beenwarned by friends since returning fromthe exhibition > ingour opinionprivately , not to injure our reputation by-

our conscientious convictions uponevery physical problem picscnting itself ,

and however much sued opinions might-ily into the face of the prevailing notionsot science ,

icw and undreamed of motive power andIs mechanical application to machinery)y new methods as astonishing as they

arc novel. "So far. Dr. Hall. And now what is the

nev liable conclusion to which wo areIriven in view of these experiments re-

icated-

again and again , for years past ,

n the presence of the mo t competentvltnessis ? Is it not that John W. Keely-uts developed from the utmospherlo air.-

at.

icw force capable of application twhur-svcr

is this now force so utterly invirobable that it should bo rejected with-nit investigation , us some seem to think ?

) oe.s not tlic atmospheric air under ecr-ain conditions as in the tornado ox-

ilbit-

a power absolutely irresistible'And what if Mr. Keely has discoveredthe "hidings of this power , " and is ableto apply it to useful purposes , as manyother forces of nature are applied ? Ifwater , while in its normal condition , hasa certain force when applied to the wheel ,and a very greatly intensified force whenexpanded by heat into steam , why maylot the atmospheric air bo subjected to

conditions which will develop miwand wonderful characteristics ? Thewriter of this article suggested in Mayast to Mr. Keely the title "Bottled Cy-

clones"¬

for Ins wonderful force. Whocan toll but that he is actually able tocontrol and govern the element , whatevert may bo. vvliieh forages has been mani-

fest¬

in the irresistible energy of thecyclone and tornado ?

It seems to bo forgotten by those whoare so ready to pronounce Air. Keely'sdiscovery impossible , that over since theuse of the mercury pump to produce avacuum , the atmospheric air , when in itsstate of highest tenuity , has been discov-jred

-

bv scientists to present character-sties which indicate that it has been

changed into an entirely new element in-

lature. . Just what this element is , re-

mains¬

as yet undetermined ; but that it is-

no longer ordinary atmospheric air , is-

settled. . Says Francis 11. Upton , Mr-.lidison's

.

mathematician , in Scribnor'sMonthly for February , 1880 , page fl8i :

"It is found that by the use of the mer-cury

¬

pumps and chemical appliances ,

where a perfect vacuum is formed , theminute portion of air remaining showssome remarkable properties. When elec-tricity

¬

under strong pressure passesthrough an Edison lamp , the whole bulbshines witli a delicate blue light. So re-

markable¬

is the behavior of various sub-stances in a vacuum prepared by meansof mercury pumps that physicists con-sider

¬

that a gas thus rarilied constitutesmother state of matter , differing as muchrom that of an ordinary gas (either un-

der¬

atmospheric pressure , or with thepressure removed by means of a commoniir pump ) as a gas differs from a liquid ,

or a liquid from u solid. "If this is so , it requires no ordinary

temerity to pronounce in advance andwithout investigation the Keely Motor an-mpossibility. . In view of the advance-nent

-

made in t'ho last fifty years , allnlong the line of sejentilio discovery , the.ruo philosopher will be very slow to cry"humbug" whenever a now invention is-

mnounccd , however wonderful it may at-irst sight appear. Scores of witnesses

whoso llrst attitude toward the inventionunder consideration , was that of absoluteskepticism , are now ready to aver thatiftcr caicful consideration and actual in-

vestigation¬

, they believe in Mr. Keely andlis motor. One notable instance ol this

character has come to the knowledge ofthe writer. A leading scientist of Phila-delphia , adopting the cry of the press of-

iraud and hunibug against the KeelyMotor , refused for years to make a per-sonal

¬

investigation. At length , through. 'ne earnest solicitation of a warm per-sonal

¬

friend , ho was persuaded to "comeand sec. " After a most careful and pro-tracted investigation he loft the shop andwalked some rods without uttering a-

word. . This friend at length asked hisopinion of what ho had seen. "Well , "said he , "1 must confess that I know ofnothing more wonderful , except themiracles of Christ. " And yet , in tlioopinion of the present writer , there isnothing miraculous here. It is simplythe discovery pf a now force in nature ,and the devising of a method by whichthat force may bo utili.ed.-
