ELECTRICAL REVELATION.

An experiment recently made by
Nikola Tesla and a companion has
demonstrated the fact that the
earth is not only filled with electric
ity, but that this current can be
used for the benefit of mankind,
Tesla and his friend ascended Pixies
Peak until they reached a point
where the mountain was four miles
through, taking with them two
autoharps, it being agreed that at
a certain hour one should play an
agreed tune, in order to test their
ability to convey sound through
four miles of earth. The test was
made and proved to be success,
as the music was plainly conveyed
to the listener. Mr.. Tesla is salts
fed that the earth is filled with an
electric current which can be har-
messed in such way as to afford all
the lights and powers needed by
man. How the connection was
made is the secret of these scien-
lists, but at the proper time it will
all come out, and it is claimed there
will be no further need for wires to
enable us to talk at any distance,
while all that will be necessary to
secure power will be to tap the
earth and draw what is needed.
