OF THE FUTURc Harnessing and the Vibrations of the Atmos- Sending Messages Throug| the Earth Without Wires—Startling Developments in Prospect. Since his last startling exhibition of the power and possibilities of electricity in Phil- adelphia and St. Louls last year but littl has appesred in the press regarding the projects then outlined by Mr. Nikola Tesla The famous electrician has not been idle however. He is actively developing his daring theories, which promise wonders that are now undreamed of by scientists, A correspondent of the New York World interviewed Mr. Tesla recently and secured a glimpse of what the Slavenic wizard pro- poses to do. Ssys the Interviewer: Mr. Tesla's biggest undertaking at pres- ent—that to which he is devoting his most earnest efforts—is the production of Lght by the vibrations of the atmosphere. He has no intention of heating a bt of cinder red hot and letting it glow by incandescence. The present incandescent system, compared with the Tesla Idea, is as primitive as en ox cart with two solid wooden wheels pared to modern railroading. The light of the sun, according to Mr. Tesla, is the result of vibrations In 94,000, 000 miles of ether which separate us from the center of this solar system. Mr. Tesla's idea Is to produce here on earth vibrations similar to those which cause the sunlight, and thus to give us a light as good as that of the sun, with no danger from clouds or other obstructions. Mr. Tesla has already achieved decided success in this Ine. He takes in his hand a lcng bar of gla which, by vibration alone, lights up into most amazing brilliancy. He himself comes out of his experiments most radiant creature, with light flaming at every pore of his skin, from the tips of his fingers and from the end of every hair on his head. In explaining his experiments, Mr. Tesla uses figures calculsted to pulverize an ordi- nary mind, “It s difficult for me,” he said, “to give you an fdea that you will readily grasp about this ouestion of vibraton. In crdinary life our minds do not deal with the figures that come up in such investigations, but take a 5 and put after it fourteen zeroes, then you will hsve the number of vibrations that oc- cur in the ether every second and which roduces light I carried out Mr. Tesla’s suggestion, with the followng result—00,000,000,000,000. “All T have to do,” said Mr. Tesla, “to duplicate the sunlight is to get this number of vibrations to the second with my ma- chinery on earth. I have succeeded up to a certain point, but am still at work on the task."” THE POWER OF VIBRATION. I tried in various ways to present in cold writing some notion of what five hundred trillions of vibrations to the second might mean. I didn’t succeed very well. The nearest 1 could was to mention, at Mr. Tesla's suggestion. the following fact: If a mass of metal as big as the Delmonico res- taurant, in which, we jat, possessing 10,000 times the resisting force of the most finely tempered steel, should be caused to vibrate With one-millioneth of the rapidity of the light-producing electric vibrations in ether, that mass of metal, 10,000 times harder thar steel. would &imply vanish into the air like smoke. It would disappear into_separate atoms too small to be seen and would never be heard of agatn. . Blectricity dn its'. vibrations, aocording to Mr. Tesla, has a great advantage over all other things, such as flies’ wings and other material bodies. Electricity has no weight, and therefore no opposition is offered to its moving backward and forward freely any number of times to the second, “It is perfectly easy to prove that elec- tricity weighs nothing,” said Mr. Tesla. “I will load you o fuli of eleetricity that you can’t hold any more and then put you on the finest weighing machine, and you will not find one-thousandth part’ of an ounce added to your weight.” 1 ventured to suggest to Mr. Tesla that as a vibrator electricity might meet with se- rious competition among modern statesmen, but his mind was so serlous, that he only sald: “No statesman could vibrate fast enough to be of any value scientifically.” ONE OF HIS DISCOVERIES. Mr. Tesla discovered the rotating mag- netic fleld. That seems to me, next to his idea of getting light by vibration, the best thing he ever did. The rotating magnetic fleld is a thing which may be described, but not understood. Everybody knows that a magnet will seize a piece of iron and hold it firmly; everybody kuows that the magnet must use up force in holding that iron, but of course as long as it holds the iron perfectly still the force Is wasted. The plece of iron it left alone would stand still. There is no use in getting a magnet to make It stand still. But Mr. Tesla found that he could get a magnet to use its force in such a way as to cause the piece of iron to spin violently round and round. He can make a wheel at a distance from the source of electro-mag- netic force spin round with 10,000-horse power. He expects to apply this prin- ciple in employing the strength of the Niag- ara Falls electric current. The fact may be mentioned that the Niagara Falls people who have relied upon Tesla to tell them how they may use their power at a distance have adopted his scheme. This rotating magnetic fleld struck me as a most impressive discovery. I asked Mr, Tesla whether iie didn’t think it possible that the spinning, rotary motion of the earth and her fellow planets, commonly at- tributed to some unexplained primary pro- pulsive force, might be due to the application on a grand scale of his rotating magnetic fleld idea. I suggested that the sun might be a great magnet, that the five hundred trillion vibrations per second which he spoke of showed considerable electrical power some- where; that there was a great deal of iron and a powerful lot of electricity in the earth. Mr. Tesla observed that he thought it was dangerous to jump at such conclusions, but ho treated my enthusiaem, born of complete ignorance, with a kind of tolerdtion, which did much to convince me of his true great- ness. THE SECRET OF ELECTRICITY. Electricians in_gencral think that Tesla's best work thus far isa machine which has industrial value 4% a°new and more direct agent for producing electrical force. 1 didn't care much about. that compared with th rotating magnetic fleld, but I asked Mr, Tesla to tell me in as'few words as possible just how we get cléctyicity, and why we get it when we do get it. Said Mr. Tesla: “We get electricity by causing a wire to revolve near 'a mMagnet. The stronger the magnet the faster the revolutions of the wire, and the bigger the wire the more electricity. Tt “Why we get electricity in this way, and what electricity i, ‘re different questions. Every electrician’ Ha§ his theory. I have one which I think I.can demonstrate mathe- matically. There {8 mo accepted explana- tion of the most' extraordinary phenomenon in_nature.” Mr. Tesla does! not care to see In cold print an account’ of those things which he hopes to accomplish, OF to see accomplished, by means of electrigity. ‘You would think me a dreamer and very far gone,” he said, “If I should tell you what I really hope for. But I can tell you that 1 look forward with absolute confidence to sending messages through the earth with- out any wires. I have also great hop:s of transmitting electric force in the same way without waste. Concerning the transmis- sion of messages through the earth I have no hesitation in predicting success. I must first ascertain exactly how many vibrations to the second are caused by disturbing the mass of electricity which the earth contains. My machine for transmitting must vibrate as often to put itself in accord witb the electricity in the earth TOOK 260,000 VOLTS HIMSELF. Mr. Tesla Is the interesting person who, in Philadelphia, before a large gathering, allowed a quarter of a million volts of elec tricity to go through his body. Having scen Carlyle Harris and one other unfortunate individual lnstantly killed by the epplica- com- tion of less than 2,000 volts, I asked Mr. Tesla if he didn’t feel a little worrled about | taking a current of a quarter of a mililon volts, Said he “L did at first feel reasoned the thing out theless there is aiways a certain doubt about the practical demonstration of a perfectly satisfactory theory. My fdea of letting this current go through me was to demonstrate usively the folly of popular Impressions cerning the alternating current. The ex- periment had no value for scientific men A great deal of nonsense is talked and be- lieved about ‘volts, ete. A million voita would not kill you or hurt you If the current vibrated quickly enough—say half a million times to the second. Under such conditions the nerves wouldn't respond quickly enough to feel pain.” “You see, voltage has nothing to do with the size and power of the current. It s simply the calenlation of the force applied at a given point. It corresponds to the actual pressure per square inch at the end of a water pipe, whether the volume of water be great or small. A million volts going through you doesn't mean much under proper conditions. Imagine a needle so small that the hole it would make in going through your body would not allow the blood to escape. Imagine it so small that you couldn't even feel it. If you had it put through your arm slowly, that would be, electrically speaking, a very small voltage. If you had it stuck through your arm with great rapidity, going, say, at the rate of 100 miles a second, that would be very high voltage. Voltage is speed, pressure at a given point. It wouldn't do you any more harm to have a needle shot through your arm very rapidiy—that is to say, with high voltage—than it would to put it through slowly. In fact, if it hurt you at all, the slow operation ‘would probably hurt more than the other. The question of danger 1s simply the size of current, and yet if a blg enough current should be turned against ou and broken with sufficient rapidity—if it should, so to speak, jerk back and forth an_inconceivable number of times to the second—it wouldn't kill you. Whereas, if applizd- continuously, it would simply burn you up.’” apprehensive. 1 had absolutely, never- e 170 THE EDITOR. ownsite Troubles, OMAHA, Aug. 4.—To the Editor of The Bee: An editoriad paragraph appeared in The Bee of August 3 relating to the action of the Rock Island railroad in the town- site controversy at Round Pond and South Okl ave jus OKklahoma, ever In et wigh to be Okluhoma returned from a trip through nd as I have no interest what- r town and as I belleve you alr to all, T wish to say a word Pirst—The k Island road was built through the Cherokee S(rip (where the trouble is) long before it was open to set- tlement. 1t was understood and agreed with the company that it should not be compelled to establish stations nearer than ten miles of each other. The stations were established, switches put in, and station houses bulit before any government towns were laid out. The land near the stations is_splendidly adapted to townsite purposes. Second—When the government “‘townsite locaters”” came upon the scene for some unaccountable reason they went in one case two miles and in another three miles away from the stations on the road and laid out the “government towns.” All the land was, open, and any of it might have been taken, but evidently from motives not the purest or best, as is belleved by most people, they refuse to locate near the stations already built. The sites sclected by the govern- ment party are not so good as those near the present stations. In one instance the town was located in the brakes of a small creek, where level ground for a switch could' not be found except by costly filling and grading. Third—The people who settled in the gov ernment towns are the vietims of this un suntable action of the locaters. In each case a good town has been built up around the railroad station, whose property will be rendered valueless If the stations are moved. The railroad company will be put to large expense if compelled to move the stations. All this trouble s brought on by what scems to an outsider to have been the want of judgment of those appointed by the government to locate the townsites. The courts have twice decided in favor of the Rock Island company, and most fair- minded people do the same. It is but fair to say that the best people fn these towns have greatly regretted the lawless course which has been pursued by the tough ele- ment in these government towns. The de- struction of property and the risk to life let me say has been great. In_conclusion ¥ that T think it_only right to treat all interests fairly, and, while having no personal interest in any’ way on either side, 1 think the Rock Island Rallway company has heen very patient and law-abiding under the most aggravating circumstances, while anarchy has reigned supreme in thése other place B.

The stralght republicans are opposed to him because he played into the hands of the populists last fall and helped defeat republican candidates. The populist county officers think it necessary to keep on hand $20,000 to §30,000, which they loan to Cruzen and other S-per-cent-a-month sharks at 3 per cent per annum, in_consideration of which they have Cruzen's and other sup- port in the election, and the very essential assistance of Cruzen and others in arrang- ing their official bonds. In other word Cruzen sells out his party for ‘a lion's share of the county deposits, which he loans to the poor, drouth-stricken farmers at 2 per cent per month, requiring of ihe populists that they shall Wrench the moncy rom these people a year before it is needed for county purposes, so as to let him have the use of it. Is it any wonder that he intensely unpopular at home, both with republicans and the people generally, al- though he s the dispensor of raiiroad favors in this county.

Houser, agent for the Hodges Machine company, who is stopping here for the present, is very unassuming man ‘in appearance and ways, but a moment's conversation with him will convince one that his past history is characterized by events that are more than ordinary. Mr. Houser Is a man of medium stature, robust, very erect in his carringe and welghs 250 pounds, and o elastic in his step f he w in prime of life, but in reality he s ov y of age. Mr. Houser has the distinc- tion of being the first engineer to run an engine west from Chicago. “It was ¢ the old Northwestern road,” he begul on the Galena division that I pulled the first throttle for the west from Chicago, in the year 182, forty-two y ago. Things are different now from what they were then. ‘here have been grea improvements in engines and raflroading since then. My engine would now b called a pecullar ‘contraption,’ such a trast from a modern locomotiv e it could hardly be called an engine.

April 17 a woman who arrived in Chicago over the Santa Fe rallroad went direct to a cheap hotel. Five minutes after reaching the hotel fell dead. In her possession was found a ticket signed Mrs. Lang, from San to Philadelphia, On her trunk was found the name “B. Sampson.” The coroner endeavored to find the woman's relatives Philadelphia, but falling, caused the to be Interred in Waldlieim cemetery. oon after the burial Leon Lang of 3569 Aspen street, Philadelphia, came and declared he thought the woman was his wifz who had been for two years in Califor- nia for her health. Mr. Lang had a picture of his wife which strongly resembled dead woman, but when it came to describ- ing_her baggage he could not toll the ap- pearance of a single article in th possession, and that offlcial, not fled, declined to surrender the baggage. IDENTIFIED FROM ARIZONA. Recently A. M. Sampson, a banker Tucson, a well known and weaithy resident of Arizona, wrote that the woman was his wife, and they had been married ten years, He sald she had started from San Francisco In April for the east, and was to take a voyage to Calcutta, India. She had written him last on April 13, saying «he had met a lady on the cars, and they were to travel together to the seaboard. When he did not hear again, Mr. Sampson grew alarmed and began an investigation. He learned of the death of the woman in Chicago, and con- cluded she had been his wife. He prepared to recover his wife's property. Coroner Me- Hale was relieved when the westerner iden- tified the trunks and its contents, even to a bottle of tooth powder. He mentioned note paper in the trunk. It was there, printed In his name and with the insigna of the Grand Army of the Republic upon it. Mr. Sampson used the paper as the commander of the Union Veterans Association of Ari- zona. It was found just where he described it. The name “B. Sampson” was also on the trunk. To clinch his claim, Mrs, she Francisco in body of he sent a photo of Sampson and notified the coroner to send the remains to Tuscon. The picture had no resemblance to tne dead woman, No one could consider them for an Instant as likenesses of the same individual. The coroner was in a quandary. If the deceased was Mrs. Lang how came she with the prop- erty of Mrs. Sampson? - If she was Mrs. Sampson, why did not she resemble her own photo? How came she with a ticket bearing the signature of Lang? Or, being either of the two women, what has become | of the other? These problems Mr. McHale is wrestling with, nor has he yet mastered them. Meanwhile both claimants are in- | creasing their endeavors to secure the re- mains and the property. Chicago | the ' | Pueblo, Pueblo.
