! z* ITXP CITY, MONTANA. RISING LIKE THE KEELY MOTOR READY TO START. The Long -Abused Scientist About to Demonstrate His (laIna that Be Una Marnemed the Interatomic Ether -- Report of a Visitor. HAT MANY 41- telligent men have full faith in the ul- timate success of Mr. Keely and his system of produc- ing power and mo- tion, there can be no doubt. Mr. Keely has been enabled to keep steadily at work Melt upon his experi- ments, and he and his adherents believe that he Is about to demonstrate to the world the truth of all his cloning. 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 fol- lows: \Nothing is so misunderstood as to the real facts as are Me. Keely's inven- tions. 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 hav- ing 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 of- ten heard him say. \Mr. Boyd Elliot, the eminent me- chanical engineer, says la a letter now In our possession: \ 'I have seen the etheric liberator of THE MOTOR. 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 first 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 com- pelled to compare the new engine with their predictions of it. I have already enjoyed several such virtories, and hope before long to lead some of these proph- ets around and rub their noses Into this sensitive conviction: Mr. Elliott 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, aa 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 sev- eral engines, every successive one of which has been an improvement upon the other, until the present one, now about to le' given to the world, will show how grand the system is upon which he has labored so long Mr. Tyn- dall In the article above referred t., says: \ 'The union of bodies In fixed and multiple proportions consti t utes t he 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 affinity, is called a molecule. The ultimate parts of all compound bodies are molecules When water is con- verted into steam, the distanees be- tween the molecules era greatly aug- mented, but the molecules themselves continue Intact. We must not. however. picture the conitituent atoms or !MY molecule as held so rigidly together an to render in motion i ro p oag ibb.

Me T,,nulail then refers to how vibrations are increased or acre - crated by and how great IR the power of vibration when itImulated \We have given a few of the expres ‚Ion' of Mr Tyndall a« to the power of vibratory action. wherein he t e em, confirms the Very things which certain selentists, who ha'..' never seen Mr Keely's experimenta. hay\ atated '•an not be true We will now give Mr Keely's words on %Ablation!' am tut their power, Mr Ile 5,1V 4. ''Vibration ii a difficult thing to de fine. ff WP speak of it theoretically The acientlfic men of the world cannot full , explain it. Vibratiens may be increased by mOund. As regards atomic vibration. if I were to assert that I could make a machine which, by a certain proems, could create a disturbance of equilib- rium so as to produce a pressure of fifty tons tó the square inch, patina‚ would be dumbfounded. Yet such is thé case with the machin now in my labora- tory. The process involved in atherlo liberation is the same as if familiarly witnessed in the liberation of gases from water, water being known as the highest specific gravity. The liberation 'of the ether in my machine furnishes simply 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 vibra- tions can be produced per second, and these vibrations I claim can be pro- duced by what I call the theory of interatomic ether acting upon mole- cular construction. In my machine the force is In the vacuum, 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 negative vibration and the positive vibration. I could not operate my en- gine if it were not for both of these agencies. The books treat of metallic vibration. This same vibratory mo- tion is present in wood, air, plaster, and everything else. Mechanical impulse can be given to molecular structure. I claim that I produce the molecular vi- brations by means of the ether which in liberated by my machine. Vibration is a force, not the effect of force.' \We visited Mr. Keely's laboratory last week and had an interview with him. He said, after showing us the coming mercantile engine which is now almost set un:, \'I am, sa far as proving to the world the Integrity of my vibratory system, about through with my work. My pro- visional engine (from which the com- ing 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 scien- tists and all others will be pleased with Its running, its power, etc., and all done with a costiess force.' \ THE PANAMA CANAL. An Enginee?ing Scheme Which May Soon Be Utilized. One ot the latest engineering schemes concerning the Panama canal proposes the construction of four locks—two at each end of a central level only seven- ty-five feet above the ocean—instead of the old plan of several levels and from eight to ten locks between 122 and 175 feet above the sea. As this would in- volve an increased amount of rock and soil cutting, it is proposed by M. Bartis- sol, the author of the plan, to dispose of the extra material thus excavated by constructing a thirteen -foot tunnel, some 30.000 feet in length through which the debris will be washed, water for this purpose to be brought through an open channel from a dam on the (7ha- gres river; that is, theiVe would be al- lowed a fall of about one foot to every thousand of length, the current tilling the tunnel to a height of some ten feet. a flow of ten feet per second it Is esti- mated being thus secured, discharging one million cubic meters daily. One hun- dred shafts cut into this tunnel would empty into it only about forty thousand cubic meters of solid material in twen- ty-four hours, so that only about four per rent of the discharged mixture would be earth or stone.

It is but a natural sequence that they should after a while, at- tempt to unite dif- ferent elements to form new com - Pounds, or add to the ingredients of those already in existence. Some years ago, when Edison declared that the day would come when food products could be made in the laboratory, he was laughed at. That this is possible is already been proven; but as it is in the chemist's power to make an egg, yet not one that will hatch, so it is pos- sible to unite ingredients according to chemical formula, but not to have them take the place of the time-honored bread and meat of the generation be- hind us. It would be, no doubt, a good thing if the common articles of food could be chemically prepared. Getting fresh from the laboratory, we might have a reasonable assurance that they would be pure and clean; something that we can by no means be certain of at present. They could be so prepared as to be absolutely free from disease germs, and in proper shape to conduce to the best physical, mental and moral conditions. But that day is unquestion- ably a lung way off, and at present, chemists are contenting themselves with making drugs and dye -stuffs and various substances used in mechanical arts. Dye stuffs, especially, are pro- duced in quantity, coal -tar and petro- leum furnishing an enormous number of valuable chemicals. Madder originally came from a plant, but the red color obtained from coal-tar has practically driven it out of the market. Indigo is also made artificially, and as soon as cheaper processes can be brought into use, will destroy the Indian industry al- together. Sugar, or that which answers its purpose, has been produced with great success. There are various chem- ical sugars that are not known in natur- al states, but these are too expensive because of the cost Involved in their manufacture. From quinine to quartz crystals chemical analysis is on the alert, and only the price of the produc- tion keeps some of the new articles out of the market. Old Salt Factories. Salt is one of the most ancient arti- cles of diet, and its manufacture has at all tintes been extremely Interesting. A factory of very old date exists In a Mexican town in the state of Michoa- can. The works are more than four thousand feet above the sea level. They are situated in a volcanic region, and salt water drops out through various crevices in the rock. The most 'primi- tive methods are employed for making the salt They are little terraces built on the hillsides and these are covered with flat-topped stonea. Over these clay is placed and formed in basin shape. In these hollows on the terrace the brine is put and evaporated by the atmos- phere It takes about four days to clear the water out of one of these little ves- sels. The salt is dirty and coarse, as might be supposed, but a really remark. able quantity is prepared in this fashion. An Improved Ink Well. The illustration represents.

Debols, of Reuleaux, France, has patented a mixture which, according to the Moniteur Industriel when burned will witastand the highest tempera- tures. The mixture is composed of quartz, or flint and sulphate of barium. The proportions are varied according to the needed resistance of the ma- terial, in some cases ground. Pudding stone is also added to the \mix.\ The mass when moistened will take any shape like ordinary tire clay, and le dried and burned in the same man« ner. A Raisin Seeder.

It seeds raisins without waste of pulp, and does the work speed- ily. It is certainly a boon to the house- wife. and It will become an indespens able kitchen requisite. SCIPIttlfle Theories. It is amazing what queer things peo- ple will believe if they are only marked science. Some years ago Schiaparelli de- clared that he had observed artificial waterways or canals on the surface of Mars. The conclusion was that Mars was inhabitated. Some months ago an eminent professor of science announced that certain lights on Mars were electric flashlights, and that they were signals to the scientific people of this world. And now we have from another pro- fessor a voluminous book explaining the high state of civilization among the Maronians. But now Prof Campbell of Lick CJbservatory, the best -equipped in the world, says that Mars has ne atmosphere. Purifying Water. While the importance of pure water is universally admitted, and ways of obtaining it are said to be many and certainly are complicated, It la a ce- solatIon to find some simple formina that will purify ordinary water, espe- cially in reservoirs and filtering basins. The preparation is composed of calcium permanganate, one part; aluminium sulphate, ten parts; fine clay, thirty parts. These are thoroughly mixed and one part is added to about ten thou- sand part ti of water. It is said that even sewer drainage Is almost com- pletely purified by this mixture. It pre- cipitates all of the Impurities and liv- ing organisms, anui the clear portion may be drawn off and used with per- fect safety This Is simple anui surely ot great value, especially where molar,. a l u-o n dltio ns prevail In water !Sew Use for Aluminum.

Tee American Industrial Union to Make Room for AIL Labor unions are as old as organised daclety, for the reason that they have their origin in human nature. Men en- gaged in the same pursuits naturally combine to better their condition, and se we are not surprised to read in one of the most philosophic works that has yet been written--Cassagnae's \History of the Working Classes\—that \trades unions have existed since the time of Solomon, and among the Greeks from the time of Theseus,\ says the Chicago rimes -Herald. The organization, therefore, of a new union would hardly excite the most tri- fling comment, unless, indeed, some novel feature were attached to it, and that is precisely the case with the Américan Industrial union, that was formally instituted on Sunday last. The general plan of this union is of the broadest scope, and is intended to em- brace all classes of workmen, from the man who works with his brain. Its un- derlying idea is to adjust labor to t:_e demand for it, and if there Is too great a supply at one point, to carry it to another where the demand is greater. The law of supply and denihd would always keep labor employed If labor could quickly respond to the demand, but there are always artificial ob- structions in the way. lime and space must be overcome and It is only organ- ized effort that can overcome them. It is the object of the union to bring the supply where the demand is most im- perative and adjust the conditions as equitably as possible. For this purpose employment bureaus are to be or- ganized and by means of a general and widespread co-operation it is believed that this object of the union can be ac- complished. In another respect the union expects tu) achieve great and beneficial results, and that is in regard to the displacement of labor. Men and women are often thrown out of employment because or the introduction of machinery, compel- ling them to seek other vocations. The Industrial union meets this by estab- lishing in various places what will be called \colonies.\ Tracts of land are to be acquired and families settled there- on, where with but little delay a liveli- hood, at least, may be gained. The funds of the organization are to be largely employed in the purchase of these lands. These may afford either permanent or temporary homes for members of the union, and will give them at least a breathing space to de- vise new plans for themselves without the danger of starvation in the mean- time. Another of the co-operative features of the union will be the establishment of savings banks and the encourage- ment of economy and individual accu- mulation. Each member of the union it. to be stimulated to save for himself and become a capitalist on his own account. No person is to be debarred from join- ing this union, and the doors are open to everybody. save that members ot monopolistic corporations cannot hold office in it. One of its grlstest objects is to establish a means for bringing about friendly arbitration between em- ployers and employes. It intends to make no war on other organizations, or upon employers, nor will it foment or encourage strikes. All these methods it looks upon as disastrous to all con- cerned and conducive only of evil. Its expectation is to so conduct affairo committed to it. to be as clear in itm demands and requirements, as to al- ways deserve well of public opinion, and with public opinion behind it the plan should succeed Siberian Convicts Frem a report which appeared In the Moscow Listock it appears that last year 11,530 convicta passed through the forwarding prison at Tiumen for the various penal settlements of Siberia Of this total number of both sine,' there were 7,526 men. 1,715 women and 2.339 juvenliee.
