Prior to shiningforth resplendent In fresh
attire Il serpent seeks retirement II possible.
He becomes blind Tor few days, refuses
food aud appears to be in amelancholy state
gehera!ly; perhaps, like some human beings,
he has worked too hard en his new suit.
Wien all Is completed and ready for exhibit
ton, he begins at the lips to extricate him
self from the old dress, rubbing against
whatever may be i'll his way to expedite
the matter
The first part of the process is apt to be
rather tedious, hut as he progresses he
works more rapidly; when he reaches the
rios they assist the operation, until finally

the economical transinisson of the electric
fluid he applied himself to the saving of
some or this wasted energy In elettfIe
lighting.
The bulb which he has perfected gives o
per cent of light ana loses 80 per cent OF
energy. Mr.. Tesla declares that he WILL
with the ala Uf a few more experiments, be
able to produce 40 per cent of light, so
that the waste Will be reduced to only 90
per cent, o; 81 per cent less than at
present.
The principle of light is vibration. The
illumination is secured by means OF what
Mr.. Tesla terms a vibrator within a bulb,
which holds the vibrating needle within u
vacuum. The needle yibrates so rapidly
that the figures per second snund inagin-
airy, but it is this intensity OF energy which
gives the light it's briiliancy and it's ap-
parent steadiuess. The lights do not
have to be rene wed.
Friends who recently visited Mr.. Tesla
saw him photographed by means OF his
light. The exposure was but two seconds
in the light or a single vacuum tube or
bulb, without electrodes, having volume
OF about niuety cubic inches. The light
given was approximately ESQ candle power.
The photograph was as sharp in outlines
as though 1t were taken in foil sunlight.
Mr.. Tesla has recently obtained many
photographs in his study OF the Roentgen
ray He has photographed the heart OF
one OF his assistants accurately as to
note its expan nsions and its contractions,
and he has also been able TO locate defects
in the lungs Of several persons, the pres
ence OF tubercles being very evident.
The announcement OF Mr.. Tesla's dis
coveries created q genuine sensation at
the electrical show last night aud was
the topic OF conversation among the ex-
perts in the application OF power. The light
was commented upon also at the meeting
OF the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers which was held in the exhibition
building
