NICOLA TESLA.

Now, why is It not equally conceivable
that a disturbance on the earth's surface
should produce some tangible effect ON
other planetsg The transmission Of dis
turbances on tho sun shows beyond doubt
that waves of electricity are propagated
through all space
"Tho objection may be put forward that
sufficient electrical disturbance cannot be
made on the earth's surface, and that we
should be wholly dependent upon thun-
der storms and other phenomena Of nature
for the success of our experiment But,
on the contrary, we can make all the arti-
fetal thunder and lightning we want.
There is no difficulty in making electric
apparatus with a spark gap OF a mile, and
If that did not prove effective it could be
increased.
Deals wholly with Electric Wires.
'Do not get the impression, " continued
Mr.. Tosla, "that the success Of the export
ment Is in any way dependent upon tho
light, noise or vibration accompanying
such an electric discharge. 1t is wholly
through the electricity waves, which are
propagated through the atmosphere and
the ether beyond that we may hope to OBJ
tain any results. But II thore are intelli-
gent inhabitants of Mars or any other
planet, It seems to me that we can do
something 70 attract their attention.
''This, Of course is the extreme appli-
cation of this principle OF the propagation
Of electric waves. Tho same principle may
be employed with good effect for the trans
mission Of news TO all parts Of the earth.
1t was formerly thought that in order to
get any power out OF electricity conduct
ing circuit must exist, but it has been
shown that tho Same results may be ac-
complished with a single wire. lt Is per
fectly possible to operate a motor or an
electric light with just a single line OF
wire leading to the apparatus. IL natural
ly occurred TO me that, as the earth Is a
conductor, an electrical disturbance at one
point causing a change in the equilibri-
um Of the earth's electricity should be
folt at all points on the earth's surface,
| and might be recorded by properly con-
struoted instruments.

sion of intelligence cannot be exaggerated.

Nicola Tesla Tells How 1t May
Possibly Be Done.
THE MARvELs OF ELECTRICITY.

We May Gird tho Earth with News with
out a Wire-Tesia Is Convinced That
This May BE Accomplished Perfecting
His Plans.
NEW YORK, March 25.-Nicola Tesla,
the electrician and scientist, has had in
course of development for some time a
project for instantaneous and simulta-
neous communication Go all parts of the
earth, and perhaps TO some OF the nearer
planets. Mr.. Tesla's plan does not deal
with fireworks or the illumination of a
large part Of the earth's surface in hope of
attracting the attention OF the dwellers ON
Mars but deals wholly with the electric
waves. In regard TO it Mr. Tesla said to
a reporter:
81 have hod this scheme under oonsid-
eration for Ave or six years, and / am be-
coming moro convinced every day thas it
Is based upon scientific principles and Is
thoroughly practicable. We know that
electric disturbances on the sun are pro-
ductiye OF similar disturbances on the
earth in the form of thunder showers.

THE QUEENS SECRET.
How victoria Has Rstained Her Wonder
fui Health and Strength.


Have you ever heard of Queen victorlA's
secret"
IL was well-known New York physician
who recently asked the following question. In
the course Of a conversation az his club. None
OF the company had ever heard about IL and
they pressed him for an explanation. Ee then
related the following remarkable story.
1t Is a well-known fact he said, that the
Queen OF Great Britain Is one OF the most
wonderful old ladies in existence. Although
she is nearly 81 years OF age, she Is, to-day, as
And why do you suppose II Is? / will tell you,
for / obtained the information from reliable
sources. X is because her majesty never
allows day to pass by without taking a
little pure malt whiskey. She takes this
strengthening stimulant by the advice Of her
physicians. among whom are some OF the
greatest medical men lin the world. That Is
why the queen is 30 full OF life and energy In
spite Of her advanced years"
This Is an interesting story and IL clearly
proves that scientific men are correct In tell
Ing us that nothing compares with a pure
malt stimulant for building up health. Un-
fortunately such a stimulant Is BY no means
common or more people would reap the hene-
ilt Of taking such preparation. In fact there
Is only one pure medicinal whiskey in exist
enco which Is entirely free from injurious
aduteratlon. IL is known rs Duffy's pure malt
whiskey and thousands OF men and women
have testified 10 ihe wonderful benefit re-
ceiyed from taking It.

thing which they claim is 'Just .as good as

coNTEMPoRARY OPINION.

Carl Peters Methods In Africa.
From the New York Tribune.
Carl Peters seems at last to be In
fair way OF getting bis deserts. What
these deserts may be It Is perhaps as
well not TO attempt to prejudge. Bat
this much Is evident, that he Is either
great sinner or has been greatly sinned
against. He has for years enjoyed q
world wide reputation as scientific
explorer of Africa, and, indeed, he has
added much to our knowledge Of that
continent His scientific work has,
however, been incidental. His prime
object has been TO extend the borders OF
the German colonial empire, aud he has
really been a political and military con-
quest seeker, serving dermany In Africa
exactly Gs Prjevalsky aud others served
Russia In Central Asia. In this capacity
also be has been successful. He has
secured for Germany extensive aud popu
lous regions In Africa, over which, as
Imperial Commissioner, he hks ruled

heathenish rites, and then, discovering
that she had negro lover, had her and
that lover put 10 death BY hanging with

Do rashlons CO Mad

There Is always q tendency TO exAgger-
ate fashions, especially those Of women's
attire, and We are forcibly reminded Of
this now that 1t is given out that hoops
are about to be again worn IL is said
that they will be small and add very much
to the comfort Of theirl wearers In hot
weather. Bat does any body for one moment
suppose that II they are started small
they will long remain sol Some ancient
people remember the last hoop craze that
existed, and do not forget that then they
started small and ended Of such immense
proportions that two or three women
with them on would Gil an ordinary
sized room. This absurd fashion so fully
controlled the female mind, that no
womsn. rich or poor, old or young, could
be induced to show herself without her
hoops
The present crazs for large sleeves has
bsen almost rs bad AZ that OF the old time
balloon hoops. These sleeves started
small but the tendency to exaggeratlon

result OF which has been that some OF
the sleeves, as now worm are Of hideous
proportions What would woman look
like dressed In these big sleeves and the
big hoops OF former daye9 We venture
to say that she would look like anything
else tban.a woman. Such foolish fashions
as these seem to bs made only for The
benefit Of those who sell dry goods and
msnufscture them In shapes which
dIstort the natural beauty OF woman Z

II kept within reasonable proportions
there Is no bjsction to either OF The
fashions named. Large sleeves, II moi
exaggerated out Of all due proportion
may be both comfortable and in goo'
taste. while hoops large enough for com
fort are not Inappropriate for the presen
character Of woman's attire. Il is onll
the OVERRIDING Of these fashions whicl
make them absurd and We feel sure thA
any fashion which destroys the symmetrl
ofihs form is objectionable and travest'
upon good taste.

A GOOD Idoa

There has recently been proposition
made TO utlhzs our convics labor BY US
ing It to build the Nlcaragua Canal.
There is no doubt but that this great
work will bs bsEun IN the near future,
and that it will bs buils aud owned by
our countrymen. aud controlled by the
United States Government Then why
not use the great number OF convlcts In
our prisons and penItentlaries 20 perform
this workf There seems no possible OBJ
lection Ia cases whers tbs sentences ara
sufficiently long. and the labor organiza-
tIons In the country would look with
much favor upon an arrangement OF this
kind.
There has always been an obisc tlon to
convict labor on the part Of honest and
upright workmen as It has a tendency
to keep down their wages, and yet the
cost Of supporting idle prisoners is too
great to be considered. The plan sug-
gested is to have all able bodied con.
victs whose terms of sentences range
from seven years to life, sent to Mica
raguA to build or assist In building the
canal How TO bring this about has not
yet been fully considered. and 1t could
not legally b. done without an enabling
act we're passed by Congress.
Suppose, then, that Congress should
legalIzs the plan and appoint commits
sion to carry It into effect. This would
remove all difficulties that now stRud in
the way. and. 80 far ss the cOnvicte
themselves are concerned, It could be
made blesslng'to them. Those Of thom
who give good service could, at the ex
piratlons of their terms, be rewarded by
the government with tract OF land In
Nicaragua or otherwise. The scheme
looks. plausible. 10 could bs made to
bring about the redemption of many
unfortunstes who, as st present sltuated,
are nothing but a curse to the country
II would also lead to the building OF the
canal at less expense that 1t could other
wise be accomplished.
