New York, Aug. 5.-Nicola Tesla an
nounced Tuesday the completion Of his
latest discovery-the simultaneous trans
mission Of messages by means Of the
earth's electrical cuerrnts to as many
scattered points on the surface Of the
globe as may be desired This he re-
CARDS as by far his greatest achieve
ment. To a few intimates he gave a
thrilling demonstration Of the operation
Of his device for arrestlng and subject
ing to control, under natural laws, the
electrical substances in and about the
earth. His latest invention, device or
discovery is to produce such a disturb
ance of the electricity of the earth which
all parts of the globe.
Il am producing" 4" said he in the course
of his demonstration, IAN electrical dis
turbance of intense magnitude which
Is continuing throughout the entire
earth. In other words, am producing
a disturbance of the earths charge of
electricity, which can be felt to the ut
termost parts OF the earth"
And the result will be?"
That's almost incomprehensible. This
electrical disturbance by means of GER
tain simple instruments can be felt and
appreciated at any point of the globe.
In this way messages can be sent the
entire earth around and be taken up
at any part Of the earth without the
aid or Intervention Of wires in any way

Jealous of Our Bicycles.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Consul General
De Kay at Berlin writes to the state de-
partment at some length concerning the
efforts that are being made in Germany
to prevent the importation and sale of
American bicycles in that country. Sew
eral schemes have been devised and
the probabilities are that increased tar
iff rates to be imposed in some form
will be adopted to carry out the de-
sire of the Germans. Mr.. De Kay also
suggests that some international plan
should be adopted to protect American
bicycle trademarks in Germany.

ing Tuesday night several men in white
suits, armed with pots of red paint and

rawtseket Found tho whalers Easy mt
New Bedford.
Five scattering hits was the extent of
the tatto beat by the whalers on Todds
puzzling curves In Saturdays game at
New Bedford. ManagerISmith's south
paw twirler twisted them all around the
well aimed strokes of Connie Murphy's
men and the single run scored by the
New Bedfords was earned. The Paw
tucket pitcher was accorded gilt edged
support, the only error being charged up
to Coughlin and that did not cut much
figure.
A crowd of 200 was in attendance and
partisan cranks OF the old whaling port
found IL anything but pleasant to sit by
and see Sidewheeler Todd make pigmies of
their favorites. Frank did some funny
things with the ball, which apparently
came up TO the plate with the bigness Of
the proven bial balloon only to fade away
like mist in a June sunshine when the
New Bedfords attempted to make connec-
tions. II was indeed exasperating- the
whalers.
On the other hand, Pawtucket found
Anderson easily, and he was taken out in
the third inning, Day managed To stop tn,
slaughter, but the tables could not be
turned. The game was one OF fast fielding
and every run Yves earned. Manager Smith
protested the game at the outset, claiming
that Pitcher Anderson was ineligible tC

While II. A. Barnet's burlesque Jack

Marc Klaw, who has had long experience
in such matters, gave 1t as his opinion
that tho regulation ballet costume would
weigh about one-flfth as much as the or
dinary street costume Mr.. Barnet insisted
that there was q much greater difference
In their relative weights, and finally a

was made-the supper to be served on the

Purple Blood Often Flows In Amateur

The best boxer Of the English royal fam
lily is the Duke of York, who is q remark
ably clever exponent of the noble art, ex
ceiling even his soldier uncle, the Duke Of
Connaught, and his athletic cousin, Prince
Christian Of Sleswick Holstein. The
duke acquired his knowledge while at sea,
his first instructor being well known
lightweight who served with the prince
for time as q sailor on board the BAG
chante.
The Prince Of Wales himself was taught
boxing by the orders of his father before
he went to Oxford and Cambridge. But
there Is no record whatsoever of his having
put the knowledge thus acquired to any
practical use.
The continental courts where boxing
finds most favor are those Of Copenhagen,

it Is tho sailor Prince Waldemar who Is
the champion boxer of the rei2ning house,
although he Is run pretty close by his
nephew, Prince Charles, who married
Princess Maud last summer.

was concerned, and on one memorable &C.

ALL ROUND TRAINING.
What DE. Sargent Says About Methods of
Physical Cultuye.

w nat Dr. sargent says ADout MethOds Oh
Physical Cultuse.
"We have the greatest gymnasium in
the world Mt Harvard" said DR.. Sargent
in a recent inGerview, "and offer every in
ducement TO our students to develop them
selves physically. There is no compulsion
about it, however. At Harvard we pride
ourselves on having an army Of first class
athletes. Other educational institutions
may have faster sprinter, a higher jump
er and a longer weight throwery but when
1t comes to furnishing the greater number
of good men at the different branches of
sport, we claim Harvard can beat them
all.
"In physical culture, my idea is to teach
what will do the most good to the many"
DIR. Sargent has made physical exam
nations of John l.. Sullivan, Jim Corbett
and Sandow. He thinks Sandow Is one
of the most perfect individuals he has ever
seen, although he says the strong man
would be a still better model IL he was a
trifle taller.
"Sullivan was fine specimen Of phys
ical manhood when i examined him." de-
clared the doctor, land L presume most
Americans think pretty well of Corbett.
do, too, for that matter / have seen
Fitzsimmons, but never made close ex-
animation of him. When he was training
at Carson City for his fight with Corbett,
was asked to go out and examine him,
but couldn't spare the time to take the
trip.
"We have better specimens of physical
perfection at Harvard than any of these
fighters. This is because of the all around
training they get. Lowering, one of our
strong men, only weighs $50 pounds, but
he's grandly built young man. We
have others et Harvard like him, and you
can find any number of perfect men in
the ranks of the students at all the big
eastern educational institutions"
