TEsLA's LATEST INVENTION.
Hls New Electrical Oscilator n, Last
Perfected.


New York, Oct. Nicola Tesla
has explained the principles Of the cleo
trioal osoillator for which he has Just
obtained patert. He has been work
ing on the idea for ten years,
"The object of my oscillator, said
Mr.. Tesla, lis to provide simple,
compact and effective apparatus for
producing greater effects with existing
circuits carrying direct currents. Prac-
tical electricity is too expensive. II
must be cheapened so the multitude
may have advantage Of 1t. That is all
am aiming at.
my new invention is simply this:
In any given circuit l interpose de-
vice in the nature of choking coil in
order TO give the circuit high self-in-
duction. also provide circuit con-
troller that may be operated to make
and break the circuit. Around the
point of interruption place conden-
ser TO store the energy of the discharge
current, and in series with such con-
denser place transformer which be.
comes the source of currents of high
frequency.
''Inasmuoh as the self-induction O
the circuit through which the conden
ser discharges. as we'll as the capacity
Of the condenser itself, may be givel
practically any desired value, the fre
quency of the discharge current ma.
be adjusted at will.
