The Use of Wires Avoided-Tesias
Announcement-Ele
A New York letter TO the Baltimore
Sun says:
Nicola Tesla, who has added much to
the worlds knowledge Of electricity and
electrical phenomena. announces In the
current Issue OF the Electrical Review his
discovery OF a new method Of transmitting
arge quantities of electrical energy 10
any distance without the employment OF
wires or other metallic conductors
The only conductor used is the atmos-
phere at great attitudes, where IT is eX-
trernely rarefed Teslas discovery differs
from others exploited as methods Of tele-
graphing without wires, it is contended
IN that II transmits any quantity of en-
srgy generated up to millions OF volts,
and without loss. He asserts that by MS
plan there is true conduction, ana not as
IN the case of other methods referred TO,
an induction or electrical radiation, which
Involves so much loss Of power as TO be
Of little practical Importance.
II has long been known that II air In
closed I'm a vessel be rarefied it becomes
A true conductor Of electricity, though OF
high resistance. Mr.. Tesla has discovered,
however. that the conductivity of air in
ereases rapidly with the increase Of cleo
trical pressure and its degree Of rarefac-
ton. and the purpose Of the apparatus
which he has devised is 10 turn this
discovery to account
Stripped of technicalities, the apparatus
comprises a line connecting transformer
which communicates with the source Of
electrical energy and a terminal hlGh IN
the air. This terminal is metallic globe
Of large surface, suspended by balloon at
a great height and projects the electrical
energy into the thin atmosphere.
This method Of transmitting energy. Mr..
Tesla saws. can be used between vessels
AT sea lie suggests its value in convey
Ing power over high mountains when the
stringing Of wires would be difficult or
impossible. 1t can also be used In carry
Ing a current across rivers or lakes, saving
the trouble and expense of submarine
cables.
Tests made by A. A. Knudson. of the
American Institute of Electrical Engi-
neers, show that the escape Of the cleo
trical current from the overhead trolley
In the trans Harlem district IS exercising
q damaging influence on the elevated rail-
way structure and the system Of water
pipes In the upper parts Of the city. The
tests also demonstrated that currents es-
Gaping from trolley lines In Brooklyn
found their way into all the lower section
OF New York, affecting by electrolysis not
only the pillars Of the elevated roads. but
possibly the very anchorages of the East
River bridge The results were laid be-
fore the institute In paper by Mr.. Knud-
son tonight.

London and Greater New York.
A London paper has been making
some statistical comparisons between
New York and London which are in
teresting reading: London is double
the size of Greater New York and has
double the population. We have more
than twice as many policemen, but
only half as many firemen, a fact which
can be easily accounted for when the
character of the New York buildings
is considered. We have four times as
many pupils in our public schools, but
only % per cent. more teachers, which
seems to show that big classes as we
see them in London schools are not
approved in New York. We have more
public libraries. There are in London
only half as many hospitals as there
are in New York, and, considering the
extraordinary number of accidents in
that city compared with those in Lon

Life ami the Liver.

Success i'll life depends upon the liver
is the way Chas. Lamb, the poet and pun
ster, put it. Medical science has proven
that nine-tenths of the ailments Of living
have their origin in the liver, and in con-
stiration caused by it's arrangements.
Keep the liver lively and all will be well.
Modern science points out Cascarets as
the only perfect. gentle, positive liver reg

organism. All druggists sell Cascarets
