A Wonderful Tornedn.

From the Cincinnati Inquirer.
Nikols Tesla, the electrician, in a
newspaper interview describes an
application of electricity whereby,
without the interposition Of any artl-
fetal medium Of communication, one
man can control each and direct, with
absolute exactltude, the movements OF
any type Of vessel, balloon or land We
hicle, at any distance that may be
desired. From q station on shore, OF
from the deck Of a vessel under way, Q
torpedo boat equipped with Mr.. Tesla'i
controlling device may be propelled,
either on or below the surface, maneu-
yered at will in any direction, ant
finally brought into contact and ex
ploded against the side Of a hostil,

VISION OF THE OPERATOR.

More than this, assuming that 1t
were possible to accurately locate the
position Of the vessel which It is desir-
cd to destroy, the torpedo boat could
be directed TO 1t, even If the ship lay
in the harbor Of Southampton and the
operator we're stationed at Sandy Hook.
Mr.. Tesla said that some months
had elapsed since be had fully devel-
oped his device, for which no has ap-
piled for a patont. When il was
learned that Admiral Cevera was bot.
tied up at Santiago II was his intention
TO apply his mechanism TO several
launches and similar small craft loaded
with high explosives and annihilale the
fleet at anchor. Admiral Cevera, how.
ever, cauae ont and mel his fate under
the guns Of the American fleet befor,
the necessary arrangements could b,
made. Then Mr.. Tesla planned a raiC
on the Spanish vessels in Havana har
Dor, only to be thwarted by the procla
nation Of the suspension of hos,ilities
After explaining the principle auc
possibilities of the wonderful device
Mr., Tesla gave a practical example o
its working with
THE AID OF A MODEL,
which be had made in order 10 exhibi
to President Mckinley. The tiny YES
eel seemed to be under perfect control
and the exhibition was truly marvellous
