THE KEELY MOTOR DECEPTION.
Newspapers, from ■ all parts of the country, come to us daily, laden with long aocounts of the wonderful things that are to be expected from the astounding Keely motor discovery, which is to supersede steam power, electricity, hot air, gravitation, chemical affinity, and other laws of Nature. This is not the first time that the readers of the Scientific American have seen all these things done —on paper. Nor is it the first time that learned professors like Band, experienced civil engineers like Haswell, or good practical mechanics like Sergeant, Wood, and Boekel, have been deluded into the support of strange deceptions like Keely's. But these gentlemen have only temporarily lost their common sense on this one subject. It will return to them in due time. In fact, there are indications that Professor Haswell is already recovering, and the others, no doubt, will soon follow. Only those who invest their money will experience permanent loss.— Scientific American.
