Advance of Electrical Science.

A recent dispatch from New Yorh
said: Nicola Tesla has Just announced
the completion of his latest discovery
the simultaneous transmission Of mes
sages by means Of the earth's electrical
currents to as many scattered poinu
on the surface of the globe as may b
desired. This he regards as by far hii
greatest achievement. He will follow
his usual custom and lay his Informa.
ton before the world. Of science in hl
own words and accompanied By his
own computations and conclusions. To
a few intimates he gave q thrillIns
demonstration Of the operation OF hh
device for arresting and subjecting to
control under natural laws the electri.
cal substances in and about the earth
His latest invention, device, or discov-
cry Is to produce q disturbance Of the
electricity Of the earth which can be
felt and noted simultaneously at all
parts Of the globe. Tesla had his rooms
in the laboratory on Houston street
darkened. From q room adjoining the
one In which he and his visitors stood
q current was turned on invisibly. A
huge black disc hung on a frame about
eight feet in diameter, from the center
Of which protruded q brass electrods
seven inches In diameter. As the group
gazed at this the apartment was filled
with cracking sound, which increas-
ed till Il sounded like the rattle of
musketry. Bright flames shot from the
electrode, not from pole to pole &c In
ordinary demonstrations. Like fiery
serpents the flames darted In graceful
lines around the else. II am produc-
ing" said Tesls, ian electrical disturb
ance Of intense magnitude, which Ia
continuing throughout the entire earth
In other words, am producing a dis
turbance Of the earth's charge Of cleo
trieity which can be felt to the inter.
most parts Of the earth This electrical
disturbance, by means Of certain sim
pie instruments, can be felt and appre-
eiated al any point of the globe. In

Notes OF Interest.

A Boston physician says that
probably half the deafness prevalent
at the present time is the result of
children having their ears boxed.
Dipsomaniacs in Sweden, when
put under restraint, are fed almost
entirely on bread stepped in wine.
In less than fortnight they loathe
the very look and smell of liquor,
and when liberated generally become
total abetainers.
By different nations every day
in the week is set apart for public
worship-Sunday by the Christians,
Monday by the Greeks, Tuesday
by the Persians, Wednesday by
the Assyrians, Thursday by the
Egyptians, Friday by the Turks
and Saturday by the Jews.
If the eyes get tired and red from
keeping late hours or from long
travel, lay upon the lids in the
morning before dressing a soft
white linen cloth that has been
dipped in water as hot as you can
bear it; when the cloth cools dip
it in the hot water again. In half
an hour your eyes will be free from
all distressing sensations.
The fishermen of Holland take
the precaution of killing all the fish
as soon as they are landed, while
the French fishermen, on the con-
trary, allow the fish to die from
asphyxiation. 1t is urged that the
Dutch custom should be universally
followed, not only from considera-
tons of mercy, but because fish
that are promptly killed are in
much better condition for the table.
