There was again talk of dividend in
Louisville and Nashville yesterday. 1t
may be stated with considerable posi-
tiveness from a source that is usually re-
liable that the opposition to the idea by
influential people in the directory will al
most surely defeat 1t. The stock was one
of the strong features on the list yester-
day on this talk nevertheless. There was

NlKOLA TESLA'S LATEST.
New Light That Is as Bright and
strong as sun Rays.

NEW YORK Jan. 7.-Nikola Tesla has
announced another important discovery,
the perfection of the phosphorescent
vacuum tubes. so that they may be en-
ployed whenever i'm illumination of the
highest power is desired. While his expert
ments with the improved tubes have been
confined TO showing their efficiency in
photography. Tesla promises it will not be
long before this lighting system will be
practical wherever illumination is needed
the lighthouses, on sea-going vessels and
as searchllghts 10 penetrate the densest
fogs. With his improved vacuum tubes and
Oscillator Tesla can now produce a light al
most as bright and strong as the hottest
sun rays. This light has been employed at
night in the taking of photographs, which
have been pronounced by experts as exam
pies not equaled by any taken by day under
the most favorable circumstances.
Il expect soon, said Tesla ITO have the
tubes so improved that with the use of only
one can photograph the largest building
perfectly on the very darkest night This
though. is only the first step in my expert
ments. Tesla refused TO discuss any of his
further experiments, but il is likely the inn
proved tubes will be tried IN some of the
nelghboring lighthouses. where their practf-
cabi!ity may be finally determined.
