DEATH TO DISEASE.
a New York Electricians Alleged I'm
portant Discovery.
Electrical Vibrations, He Claims, VIII
Cure Most of the Organic
Diseases.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16-Nicola Tesla,
the electrician, has invented an appa-
ratus with which he says it is possible
to cure any amy organic disease, in
| Guiding consumption Hereafter no
| body need die except as a result OF old
| age or accident, for the invention OF
| Mr.. Tesla will be within the reach OF
every body, inasmuch as the inventor
will, he says, present the world with
the fruit of his labors.
| The cure will be effected by means of
a thorough shaking up of the human
system. Mr.. Tesla calls the treatment
a system of mechanical vibrations and
his apparatus he calls an oscillator. He
says he has not yet tested theIappa-
ratus upon consumptive, and, there
fore, does not wish to give the public
expression to his conviction that it will
| infallibly cure that disease.
What makes him believe, however, it
will be productive of such result was
that he has received assurances of an
Austrian Professor, who has tried 1t
| successfully upon several consumptive
patients. The principle upon which the
apparatus is based was enunciated by
Mr.. Tesla several years ago. and was
practice in a crude sort of way by the
Professor in question.
Even though he has not been able
to develop the principle to the same
point of perfection which Mr.. Tesla has
now attained in his apparatus, the
Professor did not hesitate to assert
that the vibrations" have the newt
able effect of killing the bacteria which
prey upon the lungs and constitute
consumption.
But although Mr.. Tesla is able to
speak of the efficiency of his apparatus
III cases of consumption only on the
authority of another, he says he knows
of his own knowledge and from per-
scnal observation and experiments
that it cures all other organic diseases.
When a persons ailment, for instance,
is caused by torpidity of the liver, Mr..
Tesla says the physicians order the
patient to take violent exercise, such
as riding Now, according to Mr.. Tesla.
If the patient will just take a seat on
his apparatus he will get in half a
minute the equivalent to a whole day 5
ride And, best of all, he will not be
subjected to any joltings, such as he
gets on horseback, nor does he expert
ence any of the fatigue incident to
riding.
But, notwithstanding the absence of
these characteristics, the patient will
have received as thorough a shaking
up as if he had been trotting for dear
life all day long. The apparatus ac-
complishes this by means of tiny, but
none the less powerful, electric shocks
at the rate of one hundred per second,
and distributed so evenly through the
system that one scarcely perceives any
alteration of his condition.

Around the camp-fires there was, dur
ing the remaining months of winter, a
passive endurance, mingled with some
murmuring about the horrors caused by
one mans ambition. The Emperor set
his men an example of accomplishing
cheerfulness. His health continued as
exuberaat as it had been for the year
past and his activity, though no longer
feverish, lost nothing of it's intensity
Savary thought he outdid himself, ac-
complishing in one month what else
where would have been, even for him,
the work of three. Nine. de- Remusat
remembered to have heard him say that
he felt better during those months than
ever before or after. This vigor of body,
combined with tke same iron determi-
nation as of old, did indeed work mira
cles, and this in spite of the fact that his
indefatigable Secretary, Maret, was

Food Properly Digested.

Food strength is natural strength. 1t is new

The real strength of your body is your constitu-
tional strength, your reserve strength. 1t is the
result Of eating proper food and digesting 1t.
Eating food does no good at all; rather harm
unless it is digested. So that everything narrows
itself down to one proposition: How is your d.
gestion?
One person in three Of have indigestion in some
form or Al other. 1t is not really disease but a
condition; condition which may become serious.
We all wish to be strong, and we might all be.

strength is a serious matter. 1t may be the he
ginning Of a dangerous disease. It may mean that

They Enjoy Life without Any Care.
From Harper's Bazaar.
In Caracas French fashions predominant.
and the ladies appear on the street in the
latest Partisan mode, from the plumes and
ribbons upon their hats to the high-heeled
shoes on their dainty little feet The wo-
iaen OF Venezuela may be divided into two
ciasses-those who are served and. those
who serve. The lives of the former are
simple. and they do not bother their heads
about woman's rights nor enter into polit-
zeal strife. One may justly ask. then what
do these ladies do? The answer is-they
live. SO does the house plant OF the fig
tree in the court yard. What more can be
required of them? The caballero expects
work from neither wife nor daughter. His
house is filled with servants, and his wife
is treated as some beautiful thing-we
might say as 4 clock or some handsome
piece of furniture. The house is her do
main, where she may rule as she pleases.
and papaita has little to say. The Cara
quenan beauties litter behind the curtains
of the iron-barred, belconied window as
the unhappy swain is compelled to prone
made on the sidewalk and watch for an op-
portunity to get a word or look from his
object of alteration. Mamaita occupies her
self with embroidery or directs her serv-
ants, and when her daughters desire to go
for walk she must accompany them, for
they are not allowed to go on the street
alone.
Life among the lowly is different. The
women are free to come and go as they
please. The costume consists of an embroi-
dered chemise, cut extremely low in the
neck, and f1ounced skirt of calico. girl
of this class adorns her neck with a string
Of beads and allows her hair to hang down
her back, generally in two braids. She car
ries herself with dignity; and her long
scarf-like shawl. usually of gay colors,
which she throws gracefully over her head
or allows to fall upon her shoulders, gives
her a picturesque effect.
