pect to be cured by his new process to
know something of the genius who is
to be their savior. Tesla was born
somewhat more than 30 years ago in
Servia. He is a Slav of the Slavs, with
all the characteristics of that race. His
father was an eloquent clergyman of
the Greek church, but Nikola probably
derived his inventive genius from his
mother, who constructed looms and
churns for household use while her
husband preached the Word. AS a boy
in the Polytechnic school at Gratz he
first saw direct current gramme ma
chine and was told that a commuter
was a vital and necessary feature in
all apparatus. He at once was inter-
ested in electricity, but continued to
pursue his mechanical and mathemat-
ical studies until he was ripe for grad
uation. incidentally he mastered half
dozen languages and finally secured
position as assistant in the govern
ment telegraph engineering depart
ment at Budapest. Soon he left that
employment and went to Paris to make
his way across the Atlantic. He Sc
cured work in one of Edison's shops
and at once entered on an entirely new
stage of development. So quick, bright
and original was he that Edison soon
became personally interested in him.
News of Tesla's wonderful discoveries
was spread abroad and he leaped into
the foremost rank as an electrician.
Indeed, there are those who contend
that he is greater than Edison's self,
although his discoveries have been in
an altogether different line. His last
is an indication of his trend, and if the
human body is to share in the blessings
that have been showered on man by
modern electrical research the one man
to point the way is Nikola Tesla. What
ever comes from him will command the
attention of scientists.
fne care or the Feet.
"There is no necessity whatever for
so much complaint of the feet if people
could only be induced towear the prop
er kind of shoes, said surgeon who
has made the foot the subject of special
study. "The great mistake that is
made is in selecting shoes that are too
short. No matter how loose they are,
the shortness is the cause of the trouble.
The ends of the bones are crowded
together, and with continual grinding
an irritation takes place and an inflam-
nation is set up that may remain as
long as life lasts. French women are
admitted as having the most beautiful
feet of any women in the world, and the
reason of this is that they refuse to
wear short shoes, but select those that
are long enough to give the feet per-
| feet freedom. The average woman who
wears o No. ID, would find her health,
comfort and appearance greatly inn
proved by selecting AZ c. The most
| important of all items in getting shoes,
after the proper length is secured, is to
have them fit snugly around the instep.
| This keeps the foot from driving for
| ward into the shoe, as it would do were
it loose over the instep. Large shoes
allow the toes to press forward, and
are more injurious than snug ones; in
deed, it is easy to see how the feet work
ing on an incline will crowd down upon
the toes, putting the delicate bones out
of place, and laying the train for no end
of misery."-N. Y. Ledger.
