NIkOLA TESLA.
Receiving Electric Current OF Two
Hundred Thousand Volts.

htCeftlHk an current OF Two
Hundred Thousand Volts.
Mr.. Tesla has advanced the opinion.
and sustained it by brilliant expert
ments of startling beauty and gran
deur, that light and heat are produced
by electrostatic forces acting between
charged molecules or atoms. Perfect
ing generator that give him currents
of several thousand alterations per
second, and inventing his descriptive
discharge coil, he has created electro
static conditions that have already
modified not few of the accepted no
tions about electricity.
1t has been supposed that ordinary
currents of one or two thousand volts
potential would surely kill, but Mr..
Tesla has been seen receiving through
his hands currents at a potential of
more than two hundred thousand volts,
vibrating a million times per second,
and manifesting themselves in daz-
cling streams Of light. This is
not mere tour de force, but illus
trates the principle that while
currents of lower frequency destroy
life, these are harmless. After such a
striking test, which, ~ the way, no
one has displayed a hurried inclination
to repeat, Mr. Tesla's body and cloth
ing have continued for some time to
emit fine glimmers or halos of splin-
tered light In fact, an actual flame is
produced by this agitation OF cleo
trostatically charged molecules, and
the curious spectacle can be seen of
puissant, white, ethereal flames, that
do not consume anything bursting
from the ends of an induction coil as
though it were the bush on holy
ground.
With such vibrations rs can be main
tanned by potential of three million
volts Mr.. Tesla expects some day to
envelop himself in complete sheet
of lambert fire that win leave him
quite uninjured. Such currents as he
now uses would. he says keep naked
man warm at the north pole, and their
use in therapeutics is but one of the
practical possibilities that has been

A Queer Thing About Cameis.

Some years ago when the British
troops were fighting against the forces
of the Mahdi in the Soudan opportu-
nifty was afforded to many of the CORE
spondents accompanying the expedition
to study the habits of the camel. Most
of the transportation of the soldiers bag
gage was done by these ships of the
desert, as they are called, and at night
some of the newspaper men spent por-
tion of their leisure trying to learn
something new about these strange
creatures.
One of them, who was an inveterate
smoker, discovered that the camel is a
great lover of tobacco. Let any one
smoke pipe or cigar in the camel COM
pound, said he, and the camel will fol-
low the smoker about, place his nose
close to the burning tobacco, inhale the
fumes with prolonged sniff, swallow
the smoke, then throwing his head up,
with mouth agape and eyes upturned,
showing the bloodshot whites, will
grunt sigh of eotasy that would make
