In making guns, such exactness is possible that they are ablo It tell how many times the gun can be lired before it will burst, and the bursting comes, not from the force of the explosion itself, but from the unequal strain produced by the bu ruing of powder.

Mr. Sergeant says : One year ago to?dayr-I u began an mvcstigationTinto the powers and properties of what is termed the Keely motor. I was at first an utter sceptic, knowing that the ^j^P^^^iltfc^^unnfd^f? it were UM!? ivMk J@tl.all^n?vicientific teachings, and that, nccordidg to all that was known on th^subject, the claims of Mr. Keely were arrantly absurd. But I had home curiosity on tb'o subject, and, being applied to by a number of persona, some of whom were pecuniarily interested in the dis discovery, - covery, discovery, and all of whom desired a careful investigation* to ho* made, I examine it as au expert. They offered to pay my expenses wdiile 1 did this, but I preferred to pay them myself, aud.^did j so. Mr. Keely- claimed that, I |je> was'abh), "by the utilization of a power coming from the consumption of nir and water, to produce a press pressure - ure pressure of thousands of pounds to the square inch, and do it immediately, almost instantaneously. I was incredulous, and tho burrqq made fine still mure so. . (I, said LoI?I r. Keely that in the introduction of all the grpnt invention's or discoveries of | which I bad ever beard, the discoverer bad bad great troubles to persuade peoplo to listen to him, and greater yet to persuade any one to invest money iu the novelty. But here this wag'reversed. People were investing money in something of which they know nothing except what be chose to say about it. That of itself looked suspicious to me, and the extravagant stories which be told convinced mcof the fallacy of believing him. lie was very jealous of his secret. He would not for a long time admit me to see what he was doing that I might investigate the matter. It was
