takes time TO grasp their real import
He talks as calmly of producing d fash
of lightning a mile long as the ordi-
nary man speaks of telegra phing TO
Chicago. Not long ago, in his labora-
tory, he said: I expect to live to be
able to set a machine in the middle
of this room and move it by the energy
of no other agency than the medium
in motion around u.s.
This sounds like the vaporings of a
dreamer. 1t means perpetual motion
machine, and that in itself, is enough
to stamp Tesla, in the minds of ordi-
nary men, as a full-hedged visionary.
But Tesla is the very acme of prac-
ticality in all things except money
making. If he wished he could be a
millionaire five times over. As it is
there are dozens of ordinary mechanics
within . mile of his laboratory who
could buy and sell him six times over.

my machine in electro-terafy alone
would give me a quarter of a dollar,
would be very wealthy. l have never
received a dollar for it. and there is
no way in which I could"
Tesla is strange in all things. He
VIII talk willingly about electrical in
ventions of the past, present and fu-
ture. but il is like drawing teeth to
get him to say a word about himself.
He has a genuine distaste for notOriety

politely asks to he let alone
He is Monteneeran by birth His
father was a man of unusual mental
attachments. and his mother had the
inventive genius to a considerable de-

but he is impressive. His hair is as
black as hair can be. and is coarse and
rrmDled
Physically he does not appear tc be
robust. but he SAYS his constitution is
rugged and he can stand almost anv
strain. In his youth ne was a famous
wrestler. He went in for all kinds of
sport. The Montenegrans are rare
gamblers. and Tesla inherited the ma
tional love Of excitement over the card
table. More than once in those days
he went through single sittinss of
as hours at a stretch. and then only
stopped because the other players had
succumbed
Il know the fascination of play" he
said. but all the allurements Of the

There are no ends worn with the maid
cap.
1t goes without saying that this truly
frenchy bit of headgear must always
be immaculate in its freshness, and
worn over well-groomed hair, neatly
arranged and, if ii does not cause an
entire collapse of the domestic economy,
the maid should be requested to do her
hair in plain bands, without curls or
frizzes. An average head of hair,
parted and drawn smootly back into
a braided coil. is becoming to any fresh,
young face and is an attractive setting
for the white frilled cap.
There is a distinct change in the
fashion for collars and cuffs this spring.
The old style of flaring linen bands,
exposing the front of the throat, is en-
tirely superseded by the new turnover
collar. IAN inch and a half wide, at
tached to a small chemisette, which
holds it neatly in place. The collar fits
close about the throat. and is fastened
with a single small stud.
Turnover cuffs match the collar eX-
actly, and fit close about the wrist OF
the long. rather scant sleeve.
Fine hemstitched collars and cuffs
are sometimes worn TO match fancy
apron, but the perfectly plain bands
have the preference for both morning
and afternoon wear.

The most expensive, beautiful and

confounded with the large mop cap
worn by the cook, or with the narrow
