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 80 years ago in
Servia. He is 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 n boy
in the Polytechnic school at Gratz he
first saw a direct current gramme ma
chine and was told that commuter
was q 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
a dozen languages and finally secured
n position as assistant in the govern
ment telegraph engineering depart
nent 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 IN 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.

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.
Taking a Picture of the Interior Of
Living Body.
An Improvement In Photography That
VIII Stop at Nothing, If the Story Is
Correctly Told-The Views of
Wizard Edison. a'yT

What Wizard Edison has qualified as
the greatest discovery of the century
has just been made public in Vienna.
1t is process by which the interior
of a living body can be photographed;
and it's author is Prof. Roentgen, of the
University of Wuerzburg, in Bavaria,
. This remarkable feat is achieved by
means of light that penetrates all or
ganic bodies, such as wood, leather and
substances of that class. Radiant heat
produces this light, the penetrativc
power of which is wonderful. The OBJ
ject to be photographed is exposed to
a Crooke's tube, which is air-tight, and
through which an induction current
Us led. The rays thrown out by this
radiant heat, intense in character, are
thrown from the tube upon the object
to be photographed.
Several remarkable negatives are
shown by Prof. Roentgen. One shows
a mans ankle, in which a bullet is I'M.
bedded. To the surgeon, therefore, who
could only determine the location OF
bullets with the aid of the probe, this
discovery is of extraordinary signifi.
canoe. A leather purse, containing 4
number of coins, was photographed,
and a negative obtained that gives with
wonderful accuracy not only the pic
ture of the purse itself, but every coin
in it's relative position to the others.
A skeleton hand, showing the bone
structure of that memb Der was produced
by focusing the heat rays on the hand
of man. The flesh seems to have en-
tircly disappeared. A man in ordinary
dress sitting before young lady was
photographed, and the heat rays pene-
trated clothes and all, and gave O. per-
feet skeleton picture. A spinal verte-
bra was photographed through the
skin of the body, and came out perfect.
Into a wooden box were placed OBJ
jects of iron. In the negative the iron
articles appear in exact likeness, but
the outer box, like a phantom, has van
ished altogether, thus demonstrating

more than CO.. Her face is full and
almost'free from wrinkles. Her hair is
iron gray, and she has quite lot of it.
Her eyesight has never been very good,
and it has failed now so that she can
not read n great deal. She does not
wear glasses, however, and to outward
appearance her eyes are not weak. She
walks easily and firmly, and she tells
ME she is in good health. She is n good
taJlter. Her voice is low and pleasant,
and she grows vivacious as she reviews
some of the wonderful events of her
career. She is thoroughly wrapped up
in her family, her children and her
grandchildren, and in her love for Gen.
Grant. In speaking of him she refers
good memory and she tells many inter-
csting stories concerning him. No mar
ried couple ever lived closer to each
other than did the general and Mrs.
Grant. She was, perhaps, his only real
confidant. The two were one in al
most everything, and their life was a
most beautiful one. For several years
Mrs. Grant has been engaged in writ
ing book of her "reminiscences. This
will cover more than so years, and it
will be full of unwritten history. 1t
will tell hundreds of interesting things
about Grant and the men connected
with him that have never been pub
lished. 1t will describe her four years
in camp with the general, and the great
courts which she has visited.

THE WAR In AFRICA.
Remarkable Preparations Made to
Conquer Little Ashanti.
The Route from the Coast to the interior
Already Lined with Rest Huts and
MISUNDERSTANDING Bridges
and Telegraphs.

While other war alarms are sounding
England has ended her campaign
against little Ashanti. This map will
help to make the situation clear; and
it is worth describing, for it is doubt
full if small campaign in Africa was
ever more admirably planned.
The black line, says the New York
Sun, shows the route the British col
umn followed from Cape Coast Castle
to Kumassi, the residence Of King
Prembeh. The peculiar feature of the
campaign was that this line of, march
was prepared, as far as possible, before
the British troops We're landed from
their ships. England wanted it TO be
dash to Kumassi; and such n thing
could not be achieved without lot OF
preparatory work,
The route was nearly oil the way
through forest made almost impossible
by the dense underground. Thousands
of natives have been employed in cut
ting wide road rom the coast to The
sands of natives embarked from the
various ports along the Gold Coast for
Cape Coast astle, and were set ut work
carrying the supplies into The interior.
A.. large supply depot was established
at Mansu and another ut Prahsu. Other
natives under European command have
been stringing n telegraph line along
the route, and it Is now completed to
/ Prahsu.." The engineer corps completed
bridge over the Frah river Mt Prahsu,
and ut last accounts were bridging q
small river Il little further north. Rest
huts at Ave different camp stations
have been built between the coast and
Prahsu, so that the troops did not need
TO pitch tents at the end Of the days

to save the soldiers work and enable
them to march with CELEBRITY.
The troops comprise 7s6 white sol
diers, 400 men from the West India

Coffee Culture in California.

An experiment in coffee growing liz
to be made in the San Joaquin valley,
CAL, which, if successful, may mean
that coffee planting will become
en- important industry in the state.
Col. Charles f. Crocker, a wealthy
rancher of that region, has just Sc
cured from various parts of Central
America 1000 yearling coffee plants,
and will soon have them set out on his
estates in the valley. 1t will be at least
six years before the result of the ex-
pertinent can be known. Experts are
somewhat doubtful of its success. They
say the soil and sunlight are all right
in the San Joaquin valley, but the
moisture necessary to the successful
raising of coffee is lacking.

THE SKELETON HAND.

IFrom o photograph taken by the new proc
ess.
that the new process can be subjected
to any test.
The wire over which the electric cur
rent passes into the tube is attached to
a small storage battery in the camera
at the rear of the tube, the latter be-
ing arranged like the lens in an Or
binary camera. a heavy cloth is thrown
over the end OF the tube, from which
the heat rays are focused in such a way
preserved, SO that the operator may
focus the rays without difficulty. The
photographing is thus done through
this heavy cloth, as well as other organ
ic substances described above.
While radiant heat light is not new,
the application which Prof. Roentgen
has made of it is an entirely new scien-
tific feat, which overturns the theory
regarding Opaque objects, such as have
heretofore been included in the cate
CORY of those that light would not pene-
trate. The professor is of the opinion
that his discovery will demonstrate
that there is no such thing as an opaque
body, and that the penetrating power
of light may be regulated by its intens-
ity and manner of use.
Thomas 4. Edison claims for the new
discovery that it will proTe almost linn
itless, and without being as yet ac-
uuainted with the materials used by
Prof. Roentgen, says that it is doubt
less accompiishedwit plates sensitized
with chemicals exposed to radiant heat,
or, as Edison calls it, invisible light.
The work is done with what we call
waves of low refrangibility.
From the standpoint of medical and
surgical science, the discovery is in
valuable. All diseases and growths of
the interior body can thus be photo
graphed and absolutely located. Mr..
Edison is also of the opinion that this
discovery can be so perfected that there
will be no further vivisection of bodies,
and that the formation of the brain can
be laid bare without any trouble.
For metallurgy and mineralogy the
new discovery is as limitless as it is for
medical science. By this new process
all the dips, spurs and angles of the
veins and character of the mineral con-
tents can be discovered without max
ing borings and sinking shafts. .
While the cardinal factor of the new
process is radiant heat Mr.. Edison is
confdenet that special rays thereof
and specially prepared chemical plates
arc necessary to jointly operate with
it. Radiant heat is the only energy
which fills all space and pervades all
bodies when transformed to luminifer-
Gus ether. The ether pacticles are set
to vibrate by the hot body, and the
vibratory motion travels in all direc-
lions like waves at speed of about
100000 miles second.
Prof. Henry Morton, of Stevens In
stitute of Technology at Hoboken, is not
as enthusiastic in his belief in the new
discovery as Prof. Edison. Morton
doubts the pructicability with regard
to some of the experiments. but does
not deny the possibility of the process.

Frank j. Cannon Elected Senator for the

Hon. Frank j. Cannon, who has just
been elected United States senator
from the new state of Utah, for the long
term, is the representative of the Nor
mon element. He is a woll-known poll
tician, and was elected delegate in con-
gress from the territory at the last
election. He is son of George Q. Can
non, who, though second in rank in the
hierarchy of the Mormon church, is
regarded as the real head of that or
ganization. The elder Cannon, who
was ten years in the house as delegate,
las long been credited with a sena-
!orial ambition. Since the old peoples
and liberal parties were dissolved, how
ever, and the republican and demo-
cratic parties succeeded them, George
Q. Cannon's political views have been
withheld from the public.
Frank Cannon is the "prodigal" of
the Cannon family. He preferred to

IN JUSTICE TO JUDGE HAWLEY
