Rising Like Truth

HAT MANÍ INtelllgent men have full faith in the ultímate success oí Mr. Keely and his system of producing power and motion, there can be no doubt. Mr. Keely has been enabled to keep steadily at vork upon his ments, and he and his adherents believe that he is about to demónstrate to the world the truth of all his clanms. A gentleman who has been connected with Mr. Keely's interests from the first, and who has never doubted Mr. Keely's ability or success, visited the workrooms last week. He writes as follows : "Nothing is so misunderstood as to the real facts as are Mr. Keely's inventions. Three-fourths of the statements made by the public press during the last few years have been entirely at variance with the real facts. Mr. Keely has always objected heretofore to havlng anything said of his work until the proper time came. " 'Not till I can produce a mercantile engine, one that will do practical work, will scientists and the people generally believe in my discoveries,' we have often heard him say. "Mr. Boyd Elliot, the eminent mechanical engineer, says in a letter now in our possession: " 'I have seen the etheric liberator of Mr. Keely. I believe he has six times the value in his shops to-day that Mr. Edison has,' and in answer to a letter he wrote: 'At flrst I thought I would reply to some of the critics (against Mr. Keely's work), but I have concluded that the game is not worth the powder. Let them scribble away. We shall enjoy the fun when these fellows are compelled to compare the new engine with their predictions of it. I have already enjoyed several such victories, and hope before long to lead some of these prophets around and rub their noses into this sensitive conviction.' Mr. KUiott was a friend of the great English scientist, J. Tyndall. "Mr. Tyndall, in an article headed 'Atoms, Molecules, and Ether Waves,' published just before his death in Longman's Magazine, is said by Keely's friends to have struck upon the very foundation stone (if we may use the term) of Mr. Keely's discoveries, which which gives the beginning, as it were, of his discoveries in vibratory power, etc, but, while Mr. Tyndall was still groping after the truth, Mr. Keely had found it, and has already produced several engines, every successive one of which has been an improvement upon the other, until the present one, now about to be given to the world, will show how grand the system is upon ■which he has labored so long. Mr. Tyndall in the article above referred to says: " 'The union of bodies in flxed and multiple proportions constitutes the basis of modern atomic theory. We cannot form water but by using two volumes of hydrogen and one of oxygen invariably. A group of atoms drawn and held together by what chemists term afflnity, is called a molecule. The ultímate parts of all compound bodies are molecules. When water is converted into steam, the distances between the molecules are greatly augmented, but the moleculen themselves continue intact. We must not, however, picture the constituent atoms of any molecule as held so rigidly together as to render intestine motion impossible. The interlocked atoms have still liberty of vibration which may, under certain circumstances, become so intense as to shake the molecule asunder. Most molecules, probably all, are wrecked by vibratory motion. The constituent atoms of molecules can víbrate to and fro millions of millions of times in a second. " 'Further atoms of different molecules are held together with vacying degrees of tightness; they are timed, as it were, to notes of varying pitch - the same as what occurs when a piano is opened and sung into. The waves of sound select the strings which respectively respond to them, each string constituting itself thereby a new center of motion.' Mr. Tyndall then refers to how vibrations are increased or accelerated by sound, and how great is the power of vibration when stimulated. "We have given a few of the expressions of Mr. Tyndall as to the power of vibratory action, wherein he treats and confirms the very things which certain BOlentists, who have never seen Mr. Keely's experiments, have stated cannot be true. We will now give Mr. Keely's words on vibrations as to their power, etc. He says: " 'VlbraUon is a difflcult thing to define, if we speak of it theoretically. The Bcientific men of the -world cannot fully explaln it. Vibrations may be increased by sound. As regards atomic vibration, if I were to assert that I could make a machine which, by a certain process, could créate a disturbance of equilibrium so as to produce a pressure of fifty tons to the square inch, persons would be dumbfounded. Tet such is the case with the machin now in my laboratory. The process involved in etheric liberation is the same as if familiarly witnessed in the liberation of gases from water, water being known as the highest speciflc gravity. The liberation of the ether in my machine furnishes stmply the medium, and that Is used as introductory of the disturbance of the equilibrium which gives the initiatory impulse. " 'It is well known that by means of a mechanical impulse innumerable vibratlons can be produced per second, and these vibrations I claim can be produced by what I cali the theory oí interatomic ether acting upon molecular eonstruetian. In my machine thE force is in the vacuüm, because the power which is to be liberated is greater than the power behind it. In my machine I have two forces at work, the neg-ative vibration and the positive vibration. I could not opérate my encine if it ivere not for both of these agencies. The booWs treat of metallic vibration. This same vibratory motion is present in wood, i!r, piaster, and everything else. Mecbapical impulse can be given to molecular structure. J claim that I produce the i -.-ocular vibrations by means oL 'he etiier '.-ich is liberated by my machine. Vibr.t.on is a forcé, not the effect of f orce.' "We visited Mr. Keely's la'.-ioratory last week and had an interview with him. He said, after showing us thé coming mercantile engine wl.ich is no-w almost set up: " 'I ara, as far as proving to the world the integrity of my vibratory system, about thr6ugh with my work. My provisional engine (from which the coming 300-horse-power engine is modelled) was a perfect one in every respect, and the big one will be a more mechanical structure, and which combines within itself all of my system. I know scientists and all others will be pleased with its running, its power, etc, and all done with a costless forcé.' "
