NEW SERIES. VOL. III, NO. u.

Tesla's principal object is to find means
by which the great loss of power in the
conversion of mechanical energy can be
obYiated In the case of the electric
light, for instance, from the time the
coal is thrown into the furnace until the
current reaches the lamp, there is a loss
OF more than six-sevenths of the mechan-
ical energy in the fuel. Tesla hopes to
find means of transforming the coal di-
rectly into electricity by chemical or
other means. thus saving the enormous
energy wasted in combustion, steam en-
gines, dynamos, etc. To the sl1eptical it
looks good deal like the search after
the philosophers stone, but Tesla be-
lieves the solution of the problem is only
a question of time, and most people ac-
knowledge that Tesla knows more about
electricity at the present day than any
one else
Professor Hertz, of Germany, has dis
covered that the electric current has the
property of resonance, and one of his
experiments is interesting. He propels
current of electricity through the open
air after the Tesla method. Then lie
| takes a coil of wire formed in the shape
OF hairpin, and wound SO that its key
note,' SO to speak, Or vibratory frequen-
cy, corresponds to that of the electrical
current. When the coil is held at a dis
lance of from one to thirty feet in front
of the source of the current, sparks pass
from one ople of the coil to another, but
If a coil is presented which does not cor
| respond in vibratory frequency to the
current no sparks is produced.
The experiments of Hertz and Tesla
| possess only a scientific value at present,
but the tiii1e is not far distant when
they will revolutionize tine science of
physics.
ELECTRICITY IN MEDICINE,
Doctors have expected a great deal OF
help from electricity 1t is an old saying
that electricity is life,n and, true or I'M
true, thousands of people have believed
it and other thousands do so to this day.
Experts, however, claim that about the
only application which can be proved
valuable is the one recently applied to
little Marthena Harrison, granddaughter
of ex>President Harrison. This consists
in subjecting the patient to Il discharge
of static electricity, taking the form of
an electric breeze or spray and produc>
ing about the same effect as a good rub
bling. The current has been used for the
purpose of reducing tumors, structures
and like growths, but the methods are
generally dangerous and the results
questionable.
The storage battery has reached
point in its development where it is used
for running small motors, fans, dental
apparatus, ETC., and has even been APP
piled to small boats. The new United
States cruiser New York is provided with
an electric launch. The great design of
this form of battery, the propulsion of
railroad cars economically, has not been
accomplished. Many experts are work
ing on the problem, and some of them
claim that the end is already in sight.

EDIsoN's NEW DISCOVERY.

Mr.. Edison also claims that he has a
nearly perfected method of separating
iron ore from the dirt and stone sur
rounding it, which will be worth mil
lions of dollars when completed, and will
result in reopening many mines which
cannot he profitably worked under ex-
listing methods. Whether he will be able
to supply the missing links to make this
glowing prediction dazzling reality,
only time can tell.
Another very modern use of electricity
is in welding, and this, it is claimed, is
one of it's chief fields of usefulness. The
advantage is that you have your heat
directly in your work, and not surround
| ing it," Here, as in the cooking appli-
ances, there is scarcely any waste, and
the current being directly under the
operators control, and capable of devel-
| oping almost any degree of heat up to
| $500 degrees Fahrenheit, the process
| which has hitherto been attended with
much discomfort and unreliability has
| been reduced almost to child sIplay. The
easily explainable, also renders the metal
more susceptible to welding, and the
joint, electrically formed, retains over
So per cent. of the original tensile
strength of the metal. The process of
making shells for projectiles has been
greatly simplified by the use of electrici-
ty in welding them. and in many other
instances the saving in cost has reduced
the price of welded products. Here also
the current used, though of enormous
power, is absolutely harmless to human
life.
PROFESSOR TESLA's EXPERIMENTS.
Professor Nikala Tesla has succeeded
in doing things which the profession has
hitherto looked upon as impossible. For
| instance, by means of what are termed
high tension currents of enormous fire.
quency he causes an incandescent lamp
to burn brightly when held between two
metal plates, while current of elec>
tricity is passing from one of them to the
other, though the lamp has no wire con-
nections whatever. He also causes the
same current, while being propelled
through the air without the use of wires,
to operate an electric motor 1t is his
belief, amounting almost to conviction,
that electricity is simply a form of mo-
tion, similar to sound, heat and light
waves. and he hopes eventually to pro-
/ ell electric currents to great distances
! without the use OF wires. Professor

Skirts and Their Trimmings.

Skirts are very similar to those nov
worn and range four to five yards in
width at the foot, while almost close
fitting around the hips. Many when
made of double-width cloth are of half
circle shape with but one seam-that
up the back-while others of single
width six or eight gored breadths The
latter often have breadths joined by
open patterned jet galloon, or by the
lacelike silk passementerie, through
which is seen the silk lining of con-
trasting color. Trimmings around the
hip will remain in favor. There are
also many skirts with three clusters of
very narrow ruf1es, one cluster of eight
or ten little frills at the foot, another
at the knees and third above the
same space. Bayadare satins and vel
vets are used for these ruff1es, and also
as fiat bands matching those that cross
the waist and sleeves, or perhaps form
a bolero jacket and entire sleeves, or
else ruffies set in the armhole, or a
dropping puff above close lower sleeves
Shot velvets are much used for hounces
or folds on skirts, and also the sleek

tions and much imagery of speech. Il
runs:
"In the days of the ancients poor
maiden lived at the village at the gate
way of the Sobobo mountains Inov
known as the San Jacinto mountainsA
Her parents were very old and her
brothers were dead, SO that there was
no one to do any work except this
maiden, who cultivated the beans
squashes and some pumpkins. As
there was no cattle in those days meat
was supplied by hunting. This little
Indian maiden often saw the youths
returning from the hunt laden with,
game, but they never gave her any. So,
she decided to try her luck in the field.
Her parents objected, but, as usual.
she finally had her way. Her parents,
made long deerskin stockings for her,
bow and arrow, stone AK and some
little cakes, which were strung on
yucca fiber. The little maiden sailed
forth ON the first bright morning
after the new moon, and killed great
many squirrels and rabbits, breathing
the expiring breath of each to give her:
renewed success. At dark she started
homeward, but, like Paul and Virginia,
lost her way. She spent the night all
alone in very, very dark cave. With
a fire, made by rubbing two sticks to-
gether, she cooked some mea5 to go
with her cakes.
"After she had finished supper, and
was about to lie down to pleasant
dreams, she heard an enormous rattle
and cry at the door of the cave. She
was greatly frightened on seeing that
it was cannibal demon. He demanded
food and she threw him squirrels and
rabbits until all were gone. He swal-
lowed them as fast as she threw them.

threw him her clothing, which he also,

that he could not enter the door of the.
cave. at which the little maid rejoiced.
But the demon, with great flint AK,
which he carried, began to cut away
the rock. He had made an opening
nearly large enough, when the war
gods, attracted by the noise, awoke
and flew to the cave. With their
weapons they killed the demon a1a

The war gods then held an autopsy on
the frame of the demon with their bat

stored to the nude maiden her CLOTH

the earthquake of 1919 visited the
coast and wrecked several of the mis-
sion buildings. He also handed down
vivid description of the excitement
throughout the coast when Bouchard,
the pirate, came in 1918.
His third wife, now living at the age
f t07 years, also recollects these
events" She was society young
lady" at the beginning of this century,
and recollects the earthdHabe from the
fact that she had just given birth to
her third child. Victorianno was her
fist 8nd her last love, the marital fe-
icity covering period of 70 years.
When asked if she intended to again
marry, the old woman grunted, shook
her head, and motioned to her son, sit
ting in corner, and who is aged 7G
years, to roll her cigarette-her only
source of comfort.
According to his ideas of time, chro-
nologically fixed, Victorianno as
sumed the Office of chief about 100
years ago, or, rather, had served that
time before his recent death-a longer
period of 6ffisebolding than that of any
other liking, potentats or prince" on
earth.
Originally, the Office of chief is as
stitned by the one who shows the most
executive ability or aptitude for gov
erning. Leaders of conspiracies are
taken out at daylight and beaten so
death with clubs after the usual sacred
dance. If the conspirators are sue
cessful the chief and his medicine man
are taken out instead. The chief re-
ceives no salary. His subjects give
the first fruits of the field and the
choicest game of the hunt
The Indians of Sobobo till gardens
and patches, selling the produce in the

do washing, going to and returning
from town on foot, and carrying huge
baskets of linen on their heads. They
also weave water-tight baskets, which
are sold to tourists at fancy prices.
. The braves fill in their time by fishing
and chasing the ground squirrel. But
more frequently they lay in wait for
the little ubiquitous animal, who in
variably falls into the trap set for
him. Rather than chase the squirrel
and throw his boomerang, the Indian
will place a small mirror at the en-
trance of the animals burrow, and
then lie down on his stomach In the
sand to await developments. If the
squirrel is sat home" he sees his i'm

his door and at once comes up with

the evident intention of bouncing the
intruder The lurking Indian reaches
out and seizes the squirrel by the
back of the neck, and with a deft
turn of the hand breaks the animals
back, before he can either scratch or
bite
On rainy day the braves turn out
in force, and dig small ''irrigating
bitches" leading to the burrows. This
let's in a flood of water and the half
drowned squirrel soon comes out of his
hole to see if there is to be a second
deluge. He is tipped over by boom
erang, or pinned to the ground by an
arrow. After the days hunt there is a
''big feed" With the Indian this is
both amusement and business.
The Sobobo Indians are expert
throwers of the boomerang, which is
similar to the hunting boomerang used
by the Australian bushmen
