T..Ia,s problem in Vibration,
tFrom Current Literature

tfrom Current
Tesla had two big undertakings ON
hand when his laboratory caught IRE
and was destroyed in New York. Inc
more important of these, from hls POM
of view, is the production of light by
the vibration Of the atmosphere. Ac-
cording to the inventor the hight OF the
sun is the result of vibrations in 81,
600, 600 miles Of ether, which separate
us from the center of the solar system
of which we are part. Ills idea is
to produce on earth vibrations similar
to those that cause sunlight, and thus
give us light as intense as that of the
sun, with no danger Of obstruction
from the clouds.
The inventor had already done some
thing toward accomplishing this end
when the fire occurred. 1t is under
stood that he has again taken the sub
jcct up in a way. To illustrate his
principle it is only necessary 10 take a
long bar of glass and note the brilliancy
of the light ii produces through vibra-
ton alone 1t is prismatic expert
mcnt, in general terms, applied to
electricity.
Tesla can compute vibrations as read
lily as most people count the wealth
they would like to have. He can tell
you the number of vibrations produced
by fly in action and draw interesting
comparisons thercfrom. For example,
he will tell you that a certain kind of
fly peculiar to the swamps of Central
America moves his wings about $1,000
times to the second. You may doubt
the accuracy of this statement in your
own mind but if you hunger for de
tails Tesla will sit down and convince
you with figures adduced from scien
tifc contemplation Of the problem.
"All | have to do, - he said recently,
is TO duplicate the number of vibra
tons required to light up the sun,
and the practicabllity of my theory
will have been demonstrated. 1t is
difficult for me to give you an idea that
you may readily grasp about the ques
ton of vibration. In ordinary life our
minds do not deal with the figures that
come up in such Investigations. have |
come To the conclusion that sunlight is |
produced by 800 trillion vibrations Of
the atmosphere per second. In order |
to manufacture the same kind of light |
1t will be necessary to produce an equal |
numer of vibrations by machinery. | |
have succeeded up to a certain point,
but am still at work upon the task -

No difficulties in your case can battle
Him. No dwarfing of your growth in
years that are past, no apparent dry
ness of your inward springs of life, no
crookedness or deformity in any of
your past development, can in the
least mar the perfect work that He will
accomplish, if you will only put your
selves absolutely into His hands, and
lei Him have His own way with you.

Representative Culherson of Texas
| one of the members of the internationa
monetary commission for the house, tells
an interesting story of his personal ex
pcriences us a statesman in Washington.
Say, do you know that fellow Hicks
that fellow that came here with ALI
gator boots and wanted me to get him
an Office" began Mr. Culberson in his
inimitable style. We'll burned if he
ain t going to run agen me for congress
He came up here, you know, and insist
ed as how he'd done heap for me in
the election and allowed that I'd oughter
get him fixed in some good government
job His boots We're great big things, -"
said Mr. Culberson, measuring off about
three feet with his hands. well, | took
him around to the departments with me
and did my level best to get him a place.
It'd be all right and we'd apparently be
getting along first rate with the officers
of the departments and an office seemed
to loom right up With reach of us I'M
til the officials caught sight of them
boots of HIS, They d kinder shy at them
and all at once grow cold and distant
This occurred several times, until final
ly said, Well, Hicks, | guess you'd
better stay i'll your hotel and leave me to
go it alone. So Hicks he staid indoors
with them alligator boots, and pretty
soon landed him an office. l had him
made an Injun agent He was to go
ont there to one of those Ute reserva-
tons Well, | don't know what it was,
whether tho Injuns heard he was COM
ing on not but just before Hicks got his
commission all them blamed Utes got
up and escaped, They run clean off, and
l don't know where they brought up
Anyway, since there wasn't no mjuns
it WASH t no use sending an Injun agent
out there, so Hicks didn't get his job
after all. He got sorter mad at me then,
and he went back home to Texas, lined
the Populists, and now he says he's going
10 run agen me for congress Some men
haven't got any sense Of gratitude any
way. WALTER WELLMAN

Ono Hundred and sixty Indians Near
Hudson's Bay Die of Hunger.
MONTREAL, Que, May 11.-Oficial
reports from the vicinity of Fort Chino,
a Hudson Bay company's trading post on
Ungava Bay, show that two thirds of the
entire tribe of Montagnais Indians trad
ing at the post have persisted of starva-
ton in one season, over 100 in number.
AS usual among the Indians, the men
die first, SO that a number of unfortunate
women and orphans were left helpless
The few white people at Fort Chino and
the officers and crew of the Hudson Bay
steamer Eric, wintering there, took up
collection to clothe the survivors who
were as destitute of clothing as they

hoped will prevent the repetition
of such a catastrophe. by placing a sum
of money at the disposal of the Hudson
Bay company for the relief of the Indians
and the Esquimaux in the event of an
other severe winter for nearly thirty
Esquimaux are reported to have per-
ished in addition to the wholesale Indian
fatality.
The cause of the destitution this win
ter was the scarcity of reindeer and
