join a company organized to sell some OF
his inventions in arc lighting.
Much of Mr. Teslas spare time during
his first five years in this country was
devoted to experiment with what is known
as the rotating field for use with the
alternative current. In 1857 Prof An
thony proved that the young electrician
had produced an alternating current mo-
tor or an efficiency equal to that OF di-
rect current motors, yet dispensing with
the brushes and eommutators which had
ADDED materially to the cost and incon-
Venience of manufacturing electricity.
He pushed on eagerly in the field he had
opened, experimenting with alternating
currents of extraordinary high potentials
and frequencies. The results of his ex-
periments were laid before the public in a
lecture delivered before the American
institute of Engineers in May, 1891. Before
that time he had been known only to cleo
tricians. By the hour the reports of that
lecture had found their way to the public,
he was famous. The brilliant gathering
of scientists before whom the lecture
was delivered, was taken by storm with
his theories and his remarkable expert
ments in verification of them. Soon after,

shafting in mills and factories, and the
day when private houses will be lighted
heated and, to some extent, run by cleo
tricity, win be brought almost as near to
other cities as it now is to Buffalo, which
will receive it's first installment of power
from Niagara Falls in few weeks at
price promised to be somewhere near
a fourth cheaper than that now paid for
the work done by steam.
This much may be said positively, and
the statement is here made to the public
for the first time: If the wonderful ma
chine on which Mr. Tesla is now putting
the finishing touches works as well else
where as it has already worked in the
Tesla laboratory, 1t will bring the extra
ordinary advantages suggested above
The inventor himself refuses to make any
definite statement as to what his engine
will do. II know" he says, that It will
accomplish in my laboratory results that
cannot but be considered important and
that certainly open up new field for
high-pressure boilers. It Is now in op-
Grafton and has succeeded absolutely, but
Of course 1 must not predict from labora-
tory results what a machine Will accom-

may take two or three years to prepare
for placing il on the market. ! have of
course, a pretty definite idea as to the
electricity, bur there arc many reasons
why IL would not be well to give the
figures"
The young inventor endeavors TO speak
very Conservatlvely Of this new machine
Of his, but IL is quite probable that he
believes he has solved one OF the most
important practical problems within reach
of the electrical science OF the present
day Any one who is familiar with the
mathematics OF the steam engine will ap-
prCciate one phase of his device when
II is stated that it is now run with a
steam pressure OF 375 pounds, the highest
that was ever put to practical use The
y, Cssure generally used rs about 175
pounds. The boiler which supplies this
steam pressure In the Tesla laboratory
Is said 10 be the most powerful ever con-
structed. II was built for the inventor by
Babcock a Wilcox, and 30 far mas re-
spondcd TO the amazing test 20 which II
has been put. The machine 10 which this
Unprecedented pressure has been applied

every little atom in the world is whrlng,
too. Now there is good reason to believe
that the molecules and their atoms are
really little worlds that revolve and move
in their orbits like the stars, causing the
ether about them to spin with them, thus
generating electricity, or affording the
conditions suitable to it's generation.
while electricity could hardly be called
the ether itself, 1t is probable that the ef-
fects of dynamic electricity and electro
magnetism are the effects of ether in
motion, and the effects of static cleo
tricity are the effects of ether under a
strain. The discovery of a method of
utilizing this practically exhaustless force
that lies so close at hand, would uncover
what are surely some of the greatest se-
crets OF the Universe. II would be the
greatest discovery since the creation and
would bring about q total revolution In
all life"
Mr.. Tesla's enthusiasm is of the kind
that kindles quickly, and the great cleo
trical work now going on at Niagara Falls
is one of the subjects that is most likely
to arouse it. Some day all wood and coal
will be used up" he said, when this sub
Ject was introduced, land so far as ! can
see, we will freeze and starve to death
unless electricity is used to transmit the
exhaustless energy of water power to any
distance, wherever man has his habitR-
ticn, and turn it into Hight, heat and power
FOR him. But now that transmission of
energy by means of electricity has be-
come not only possible, but practical, there
need be 10 more unpleasant speculauons
about what will happen to us after the
worlds supply of fuel has been exhausted.
The operations at Niagara are a promise
to us of this insurance against what tEe
future may have in store for us. The
work there is inspiring of confidence, too,
for the future OF electricity
He believes it is possible to deliver
electricity generated at the falls to The
doors Of New York cheaper than steam
power is generated here. He was ex-
plicit on this point and had evidently
given careful thought to the subject at
some previous time. He said 'If you
have 900 horsepower to transmit in one
bulk, you can send it 500 miles and yet
compete with steam generated on the
spot for the engines now I'm use But If
you send only 10000, for instance. then in
my estimation it cannot be sent to com
pete with steam to distance of more
than so miles. 1t should be added, how
ever, that while this statement Is true

THAT was what would have happened
to me if l had continued to be a journ-
alist You never knew that l was once a
member of your profession? Well was.
The trouble with me was that l wrote too
carefully, and, as it seems to me, too
thoughtfully. When 1 wrote an article
of which l was particularly proud, my

me out soon, like the wick without any

sometimes but 1t Is a great comfort to be
ones own master and to feel that there
is nothing to prevent ones dropping all

Europe or elsewhere for as long a rest as
one wants. ..-,.-
81 have noticed a queer thing about my
mental operation, and that is that my
mind seems to work in two halves, each
independently of the other, so that when l
talk, or even when 1 sleep, only one half
of my mind appears to be thus engaged
the other half goes on steadily with what

they were trustworthy indicators of his
physical condition. They were long and
thin and nervous. They trembled little
and the conclusion naturally to be drawn
from them was that their possessor was a
man whose tremendous energy, although
under good control, was likely to use him
up If run at such high pressure much
longer.
Mr.. Tesla is only 81 years old, and he
looks even younger. He was born at a
town called Smiljan in Servia, on the bor-
derland Of Austro- Hungary. His family
was an old one, cultured and highly re-
spected. His father was an eloquent
preacher Of the Greek church and his
mother was a woman of re markable in
genuity. He had an inherited taste for
mechanics and IL is her blood that made
Tesla what he is. His father wanted him
70 enter the church, but he could not be

conclude, unless they know Mr.. Tesla
personally, that he is crazy.
One technical value Of this new discov-
cry for utilizing steam at high pressure is
in the saving that it makes in the cost Of
heat for producing the steam. because 1t
is a queer freak of nature that requires
proportionately less heat to produce steam
at high pressure than to produce il at
low pressure For Instance, II takes an
increase OF only Sc degrees Fahrenheit
TO raise steam pressure from l25 pounds
up to 25O pounds.
There are other electricians who say of
Mr.. Telsa that he is not a particularly
great man as a practi4al, working cleo
trician, and that his machines are not al
ways as valuable in practice as they are
in theory, but most Of them admit will
ingly that he has no peer as a theorist and
investigator, a dreamer of the dreams that
viii come true. His talk of the future is
worth thinking about. He is very conf
dent that great things are coming soon
through the utilization of the electrosta-
tic magnetic condition of the earth itself.
Sometime" he says, electricity will be
taken from all about us and used for light,
heat and motive power. We will reach
down to the earth and tap the current
anywhere, getting all we want without ex-
pense. II is interesting to sit down some
where, away from all interruption, and
think out what. that would mean. 1t
seems hardly possible that these wonders
can be far away, because the process by
which they can be realized is so simple.
Expressed roughly, all that would have TO
be done would be to set the earth's cleo
tricity to vibrating, and adjust'a machine
to these vibrations wherever the force
was required. 1t is something as If the
earth were a rubber bag. Shake it in
one place and you feel the vibrations in
another place. You and / could not feel
the electrical vibrations, but ! have in
mind a machine that will. If nothing else
is transmitted by these vibrations intelh-
gence surely will be. 1 have the best of
reasons for predicting that messages will
be transmitted through the earth in this
way without wires, like a pulse through a
human being. 1t seems surprising that
this has not been done before
1T is reasonable to suppose that the
eartfs electricity is generated by the
atoms of which all things are composed,

another lecture was delivered before the
most notable body of electricians iii E;u-
rope, the Institution of Electrical Engi-
neers in London, and his reception by
them was as enthusiastic as it had been in
America, A day later by special request,
he repeated his experiments before the
Royal Institution, and soon afterward re-
sponded to an urgent call from the two
foremost societies of engineers in France.
In 1898 he delivered lectures in PhiladeI-
phia and Europe, which served to inten-
sify public. interest in him. One of his
experiments on these two occasions was
spectacular in the extreme. Facing an
audience of some 5000 persons, he passed
through his body a current of 100000 volts,
causing streams of light to pour from his
body and break forth from his finger tips,
whereas current of a hundreth part of
that energy would have killed him in
stantly, thus proving that the amount of
electric energy that may be passed into
the human body depends on the strength
and frequency of the current, and that the
higher these are the less harm they do the
body. Mr.. Tesla said that at the time
that the only inconvenience he felt from
thus making an electric light of himself
was a slight pricking as of needle, and
burning sensation at the finger tips.
The most important work on which
Mr.. Tesla is now engaged, and which bids
fair to bring him more fame than any
thing he has done before this, is a machine
by which a heretofore unheard of steam
pressure can be applied to the generation
of electricity, reducing the waste of the
current and what is of supreme impor-
tance, reducing the cost of electricity.
1t is easy to see that any device by which
the cost of electric power is brought be-
low the cost of steam power will bring a
revolution in the process of manufactur-
ing more sudden and startling than was
brought about by the Introduction of
steam. The economical transmission of
electricity generated by water power, as
at Mia CARA Falls, has already brought a
promise of this revolution, and if Mr..
Tesla's machine will bring a correspond
ing reduction in the cost of electricity
to cities too far away to derive benefit
from water power like that at Niagara,
then, indeed, the revolution will be COM

and is evidently sensitive about it, There
fore, the portlonsof this article that come
from him should be regarded as a spe-
sial concession, particularly as he has
never talked so freely before. Bogus
interviews with him have been pub
Ished of late, but this is genuine.
Mr. Tesla spends his days on the fourth
floor of a machine shop at No. 30 South
Fifth avenue, His name does not appear
anywhere on the building, and there Is
nothing about the place to indicate that
it is one of the worlds centers of electri-
cal interest The whole floor is occupied
by Mr.. Tesla's laboratory, except that one
corner is partitioned off into the plainest
of little offices containing principally q
modest desk for the inventor more mod
est desk for his bookkeeper; book case
largely devoted to the "Oficial Gazette OF
the patent Office and q small bIack
board which hangs on the wall and bears
evidence of hard usage. The black Is
worn from this board in several spots
and the rest of it is covered with hgures
and cabalistic signs. No doubt the sci
ence of electricity would have been no
tably poorer but for some of the prop
lens worked out on that shabby black
board, for when the inventor. is puz-
zled he goes to it and works on 1t nerV-
ously with a stubby piece of chalk.
The laboratory itself looks common
machinery and electrical appliances, ana
a stranger prowling about the building at
will would surely mistake its fourth moor
for a part of the machine shops Delo",
One who is not an electrician would hhu

wells that make Edison's laboratory better
than circus for the sight-seer An cleo
trician, however, would find secrets
there with which he could make ana
break colossal fortunes on the STOCK
market for the reasons that VIII ap-
pear further on.
But Mr.. Telsa's half-dozen employees
are tried and trusted men, and the would
be visitor would find it an extremely ui-
ficult matter to get into this laboratory
If he did get in he would be more tnan
lkely to find the inventor there, working
