Knew Keeley's Secret - Tesla Says He Surmised the Methods

Tesla, the Electrician, Says He Surmised the Methods of the Famous Motor Man.

The astounding disclosure of the methods which John W. Keeley practiced upon many thousands of credulous persons is the cause of a statement from Nikola Tesla, the electrician, that for years he has known the secret of the motor.

The dismantling of Keeley's laboratory at 1422 North Twentieth street, Philadelphia, brought to light a great spherical reservoir and many lengths of fine high-pressure brass tubing. Mr. Tesla says:

"When the reservoir and pipes were found I knew the surmise I had entertained was correct. Although he evidently used compressed air in his experiments, it does not follow that he did this deliberately to deceive. Acting on my conjecture, I have performed most of the experiments reported and still more wonderful ones to the lay mind."
