The unfavorable impression caused in
navy circles abroad by the failure of fash
ing incandescent lights to meet all the
requirements of clear and rapid sys-
tenn of signaling has been greatly modi-
fed by the introduction Of new device.
It was formerly found that flashes could
not bo made with the necessary rapidity,
owing % the fact that light fingers in

several English battleships, spring COW

The lamps are of about 100-candle

experiments made with the new device
it appears that the direct flashing of

Tesla and Ed ison.

The greatest triumphs in the applica-
tion of electricity to the industrial arts
belong distinctly to America and it is
here that the most remarkable inven-
tions have been made Perhaps this is
owing to our dry. stimulating climate,
but at any rate thus far Europe has done
little else than repeat our inventions and
apparatus The two leaders in the field
of electrical invention are Edison and
Nikola Tesla representing two rival
companies, the Edison and the Westing-
house It is notable that both these
made great discoveries early in life. Edi-
son was very young when he figured out
the phonograph, and mere STRIPPING
when he invented duplex telegraphy
Tesla is as yet only SO. and his great dis
covery of a rapid alternating current was
made some years ago. One Of the re-.
suits Of It is that an electric glow like
daylight may be produced between the
opposite walls Of room by simply hav
ing metallic wall paper and connecting
it with the central generating plant.
Edison. the wonderful young Ameri-
can, was educated in the telegraph Office
mainly and has not much Of an opinion
of poring over books Tesla. on the other
hand. is the product of the best poly
technic schools of his native country,
Austria. He is from the province of
Croatia, but came to America at the age
Of 80 because he had read that the
United States was great field for am
bilious young electricians. Which wiz
ard is greater. the American who was
educated in practical life or the Austrian
American who had the learning of
scientific school besides. it will be for the
future to determine
Edison's past successes and future ex-
pectations are sufficiently well known.
Tesla has perfected apparatus which will
produce an alternating current of l, ,000,-
600 alterations per second. such rapid
waves, in fact. that they cause no effect
on the human body He has produced
a fame which lights without making
heat or combustion, but which can be
changed so as to produce both when
they are wanted for warming house or
for cooking. Thus the light will not
burn up the oxygen of a room. His ma
chine will make ozone, and by another
invention he has made he declares him
self able to electrically 6isinfect all Gre
alton If he can give the world ozone in
such quantity. then nobody need ever
die of consumption or suffer for want of
fresh air. He has made an electrical
current flow through vulcanite, hither-
to regarded as the insulator nearest per
feet of any known. He says he has
found five different kinds of electrical
discharge from an infnitesilnally thin
thread to huge stream of light These
