Tmt,) NEW MOTIVE POWER.
FURTHER INFORMATION CONCERNING THE
XEELT MOTOR WHAT ITS INVESTOR ASP
HI3 BACKERS CLAIM FOR IT.
From the New York Times, July 3.J
ifnrtner rrarticuiars in relation to the
Keely motor have been given to a reporter
vi iuc lines oy air. sergeant, or the firm
of Sergeant A-Cuttingworth. of this tit-.
According to the statements of this gentle
man, the newly-discovered power is in
evitably destined to revolutionize the entire
mechanical world and render possible, and
even easy, feats which seem now bevond
the power of the most perfect machinery
in the world. -
"WHAT IS TO BE ACCOMPLISHED.
Guns are to be fired by Hie same power
that drives the ship that carries them, ex
plosions are to be rendered comparatively
barm less; engines of 5,000-horsc power are
to be constructed so as to occupy no more
space than nn ordinary steam-engine, and
all tho marvels which are accomplished by
steam are to be performed with infinitely
greater ease by the cold vapor evolved from
air and water .The wildest dreams of the
Arabian, story-teller seem commonplace
when compared with the marvels that are
promised in this newly-discovered force of
Nature, it the statements of a well-known
business man ot good standing, and oi
high repute as a scientific inventor, are to
receive the credence that would he given
to them on any iilier subject. All the diOi
Gtilties naturally to be expected in learning
the use of so tremendous an agency have
beeu encountered in the experiments that
have been made with this. New tools
have been made with which the parts of a
liew engine are being fashioned for the use
Of the motive power. Metal has been
made especially for its construction. A
new scientific vocabulaty has been ttslft
fooed to express theopem lions hitherto un
known in mechanics, and nerfi-ct Kinross
has attended the experiments made thus
. . THE OPINION OF AS EXPERT.
. Air. sergeant says: "One year ago to
day I began an investigation into the pow

Keely motor. I was at first an utter skep
tic, knowing that the things which were
Claimed for it were utterly onoosed to all
my scientific teachings, and that, according

claims of Mr. Keclv were arrantlv absurd
But I had some curiosity on the snbject.
ana, wing appiieu to oy a nuuioer or per
sons, some of whom were pecuniarily in
terested In Hie discovery, and ajl ot whom
desired a careful investigation to be made.
I determined to go to Philadelphia and
examine it as an expert, Tliey offered to
pay my expenses while I did this but J
preferred to nay them myself, and I did so
Mr. Keely claimed that he was able by the
utilization ot a power coming Irom tne con
sumption oi air ana water, to produce a
pressure of thousands of Dound to the
eqnare inch, and do it imme-fiately, almost
instantaneously. 1 was incredulous, and
the surroundings made me still more so. 1
said to Mr. Keely that in the introduction
of all the great inventions or discoveries of
wnicn I naa ever heard, the discoverer had
had great trouble to persuade people to
listen to him, and greater yet to persuade
any one to invest money "in the novelty.
But here this was reversed. People were
investing money in something of which
they knew nothing except what he chose to
say about it. That of itself looked snspic-
ions to me, and the extravagant stories
which he told convinced me of the fallacy
of believing him. He was very jealous of
ms secret, lie wouia not for a Jong time
admit me to see what he was doing that I
might investigate the matter. It was only
after a strong pressure bad been brought to
bear on him that he consented to do as
much as let me see him wor. and when
this was at length accomplished by the
intervention of his friends who were inter
ested in the Invention, ho had in the room

"I did more. After being with Mr. Keelv
tot a long enough time to solve all mv
doubts, I went, away and consulted with
others. I went especially to one man
whose name' wets! be instantly recoguized,
li I should tell it as that of a scientist known
all over the ooancry. He was a skeptic, as
I bad been. I told him whatt I bad' seen..
Xla heard me through, and told me I must
be deceived; that Mm Keely was using
some chemical ot- whloa he kept me in
iSTsoranee.. He thought at first from my
descriptions that" it was carboline,: or a
vapor from it, and, at my request, be pro
duced a jet of tiat V.ipor. I allowed the
Jet to play npon my hand and found that it
wos-oid a to produce a stinging sen-
SMtion. I said. 'This is not Keely's vapor.
That i pleasant to llm touclh1 i smelied of
tlie carboline vapor and it was utterly unlike-Keely
V. for the enrhoHnc had a scent
about it which Keely's had not, although
the Professor said the carboline could be
produced with scarcely a trace ot the scent.
Jiut I have swallowed all I could get ot
Keely's vapor, and I find it is pleassmt.
You can live on it. I asked the Professor,
if the carboline vapor was capable of con
densation by s mple exnansion. Ifn s.ii,i
no, and I knew it was not Keely's, for that
is condensed by simple expansion. It
turns back to water, and that water 1 can
drink. After each conversation with the
Prolessor, in which lo would tell me that
I was deceived in this thing or that I
would go back to Mr. Keely and watch and
study his operations until 1 knew I was not

could lo as he did; and the machinery for
prixlncing this vapor is so simple that a
child Syeaw old could woi kin.
DECEPTION WAS 1MTOSSIBLE
under such circumstances.
pons nnu statement of those who know
nothing about the matter, 'have contained
tne roost absurd statements, it has bet-r
asserted that we do not know the difference
between pressure and p.wcr; licit we claim
to have a pcr)elua-motioti machine; that
we pretend to make something out of

forth by persons who ought to know better

the difTerence U-tween pressure and power
i sufiicieiitiy answered by the reputation-
of the hrtn of which I am a niemtier. It is
ma naeiy mat we couiu D:ive obtained that
reputation if we were so ignoiant of the
very principles involved In tho work we
do. a perpetual-motion machine is one
that makes its own power. One that does
not make its own power cannot be a perpetual-motion
machine. Xow. Keely pre
tends to do no such thing as that. On the
contrary, Mr. Keely's claim is entirely dif
ferent, lie claims to produce from the
consumption of air and water cold vapor
capable of condensation by simple expan
sion. and which contains jiowcr enouHi to
produce a pressure of 20,000 or 30.000
pounds to the squ.-ire inch. It is admitted
that no cold vapor capable of condensation
by simple expansion can be produced by
chemicals, but I know Hint hv Keely's
method it can be produced, for I hive pro
tinccd it, and condensed it in just that way,
and have drauk the water produced by the
condensation. The Professor to w hom 1
have alluded, when I told hint that I had
drank the water so produced,, said -Oh, vou
are deceived.' He thought that Keelv had
substituted the water which I had drank
in a surreptitious manner. I went back
to Keely and tried it again to be sure that
I had not. been d.celvcd in that manner,
and I convinced myself that I had not. As
to the idea that Keely claims to produce
something from nothing it is absurd, lor

WsCOVEKEH ONE OP THE LAWS OF K.VTCEE
by which this vapor can be produced.
"When I talk to the scientist about a
pressure of 10.000 pounds to the square
inch they are iiici-ednious. bin I have seen
it at 13,500, and I have weighed it, so that
I know there is no mistake. We are now
having a gauge made by which we can
weigh it up to 50,000 pounds. One of the
ditliculties in our wav has been that we
have not handled the thing at the ivat
pressures at which it can be used. Jt takes
tune to make all the experiments needed,
and. although we are pursuing them as
rapidly as possible, we cannot do every
Vi , "e-nave uca it tip to
lS.oOO pounds pressure, and are going on
as fast as we can. There is one hindrance.
We ui) not know what we can cover with
our letters patent. We cannot, of course
cover a natural law by a patent, and what
we can cover we must describe so fully that
any person expert in such matters tan do
the same thing from our description in
ortler that he may know when and how he
infringes on our patents. This we have
not yet been able to do, because we have
not yet used it at tho heavy pressures at
.which it can be used. We" know that it

should be an explosion, which conld only
come f.-om some defect in construct ion,
there would be no danger, excepting from
some flying piece, which might do damage,

the destruction is caused by the sudden and
marvelous increase or pressure which e
curs at tne moment of explosion. This is
not understood scientifically, but the fa
remains that when a boiler explodes under
a pressure of 30 or 40 pounds, at the instant
of the exDlosion there will be a pre3.ure.of
iu.uuu pounds on tne sudden n Deration of
the steam, and it Is this which causes the

On Thursday, the 6th, a very august and
ancient tribunal in England became ex
tinct. On that day the 0urt of Queen's
Bench sat in judgment for the last time,
after an existence of a thousand years,
having been aboliwtied at that date by the
Judicature Act of Parliament of 1870.
The "Coftrt of the King before the King'

in substance and character, and in , the
essence of its jurisdiction, to tlie time of
