Nicola Tesla, who has added much
10 the worlds knowledge Of electricity
and electrical phenomena, announces
sn the current issue Of the Electrical
Review his discovery Of a new method
of transmitting large quantities of
electrical energy to any distance with
out the employment Of wires or other
metallic conductors, and with a loss so
small as to be practically inappre-
ciable. The only conductor used is the
atmosphere at great attitudes, where
1t is extremely rare1ed.
Mr.. Tesla's discovery, 1t is commended,
differs from others exploited as meth
dds Of telegraphing without wires and
so forth, in that 1t transmits any guam
tity Of energy generated up to millions
of volts and without loss.
1t has long been known that II air
Enclosed in a vessel he rarefled 1t be-
comes true conductor Of electricity,
though of high resistance. Mr.. Tesla
has discovered, however, that the con-
ductivity of air increases rapidly with
the increase Of electrical pressure, and
It's degree of rarefaction, and the pur-
pose of the apparatus which he has de-
vised, Is to turn this discovery to ac-
count.
Stripped OF technicalities, this ap-
paratus comprises line connecting
transformer, which communicates with
the source OF electrical energy, ind a
terminal high in the ar. This torml-
nal is a metallic globe of large surface.

The American Farmer Is sincere In
what II says and whenever II endorses
an article, be II machinery, proprietary
medicine, or q man individually, We
want our readers to believe that what
we say we have good reason to under
stand Is true. For n year or more
there have been endorsements Of the
Swanson Rheumatic Cure Company, OF
1877 Dearborn street, Chicago, by this
paper. People have written us to
know II this company Is responsible,
and II It's remarkable remedies, for the
cure of rheumatism, neuralgia, dyspep'
sla, catarrh, kidney troubles, etc, real
ly had merit. We have therefore been
at extra pains to investigate, and once
again We add emphasis to our former
endorsement of that company, There
may be isolated cnsos here and thore
which, probably through neglect In fol-
lowing directions, or from exposure or
some unexplainable reason the Won
derful Five Drops remedy does not do
the work. But II Is case where the
exception proves tho rule, Mr. Swan
son is q gentleman Of character and
personal integrity, and, We believe,
would no more attempt to deceive tho
public than the writer OF this article.
They still offer to send sample bot
tie OF "5 Drops" for 25c or q large
bottle, 300 doses, for 81, prepaid by
mail or express, Address as above.

A Konigsberg doctor, DR.. jaeger, rO-
Gently gave course OF hygiene and
bacterlology for ladies, which included
practical exercises In applied bacteriol-
ogy-for instance, In the preparation
and preservation OF food by methods
used In meteorological work. At the
close Of the lecture the hearers we're
allowed to invite their friends to an
exhibition Of kitchen products-some
raw and cooked-whlch had remained
in warm room Tor periods ranging
from Ave to sixteen days, and which
were all found perfectly fresh and
quite unchanged in appearance and
taste. Nor says the British Medical
Journal, had any complicated procedure
been required to attain this result.
The method simply consists In: ~
The use of vessels with well-ntting,
overlapping lids, instead Of the inside
lids used In kitchens all the world over,
which allow stray bits Of matter that
may adhere to their rim to fall into tho
food; (2) avoidance Of opening the YES
sells In which the food was kept, or,
where this was indispensable, careful
manipulation, as in meteorological
work, and (3) the use of cotton wool
as a covering. Cottonwood lids had
been specially prepared to at the wide
tops of the food vessels; they con-
sisted OF circular disk Of cotton wool,
tightly held between two metal rings,
the outer OF which formed the overlap
ping rim OF the lld.--London News.

81. Petersburg correspondents an
nounce that Russia Is planning q shlp
canal across the empire which shall
connect the Baltic sea with the Black
sea, 80 that the largest battleshlps can
pass through It at reasonable speed
Great as the plan is, Il Is 80 simple
In It's engineering aspects and also
from n financial viewpoint that the
only wonder Is the work has not been
done long ago. Though the waterway
VIII be ten times as long as the Suez
canal the territorial conditions are 80
favorable and the existing waterways
are so large and deep and convenient
In their natural direction that only
about 100 miles OF the 1000 miles will
need to be dug, and comparatively lit.
tie dredging will be required to COM
plete the availability of the natural
waterways. The Baltic sea terminus
Is to be the port Of Riga on the mouth
OF the Dvina river, which is navlgable
for many miles from Its mouth. The
channel Of the Dvlna will be used as
far as Dunaburg, where an artificial
canal Will branch of across the Lepel
watershed and into the Beresina riv-
or, continent Of the Dnieper, the
third largest river In Europe. Then
the Dnieper channel will be followed
to Its mouth on the Black sea, where
the port Of Kherson now is.
The typographical conditions are so
favorable that the canal needs only two
locks, one at each terminus, and the
soil Of almost the whole territory
through which the canal will pass is
Of the best possible character, being
clay of exceptional consistency. Five
years Is the time which 1t is calcu-
lated will be necessary to complete
the work and open the canal for ship
ping, The cost Is estimated at only
200,000,00 rubles, or $154,4O0,O00, or
about one-half that at the recent val
uation in American gold OF the fluc-
tuating ruble. The engineers who have.
been planning this great waterway estl-
mate that the largest ships can steam
through 1t at the rate Of six knots an
hour, and thus 90 from the Black sea
to the Baltic In a little less than sew
en- days. Perhaps the most direct in
terest for Americans is in the fact that
this ship canal will open a cheap and
quick route Of transportation to the
wheat-growers and petroleum-produc-
ers Of Russia, They can reach the
Baltic and the Mediterranean with
equal facility and economy, and thus
supply Asia and Europe and Africa
more quickly and economically than
can the Americans. The canal passes
through the best petroleum territory.
Russia expects that the facility Of in
tercourse which the canal will furnish
will give great impetus to many indus
tries which are prosecuted at present
only for home purposes and which
could be extended enormously when
the markets Of the entire world are
open to them.

This method of transmitting energy,
Mr.. Tesla says, can be used by ships
at sea or by vessels floating In the air.
II can be used to transmit power over
nigh mountains when the strlnging of
wires or laying of other conductors
would DO dlfIlcult or impossible, or by
projecting energy across rivers or

Mr.. G. A. Griggss, CArrituck, N. c.
DEAR SIR:-Reply1ng to youss of the

the statement which has been eircu1a-
ted through your county, that had to
pay out twenty-five hundred dollars or
any other sum more or less to secure
the contract for the building of Cur-
rituck County Court House, and wish
you to deny for me the same. as
being untrue and slanderous: have
never made no such statement to auy
one.
The statement by who ever made as
coming from me is a falsehood. Iwtsh
to say more while have this matter
before me, that in my dealings with
public men extending over twenty
i've years, have never found a more
upright and honorable set of county
officers than had to deal with in Cur
rltuck county. Found Mr.. BRAY, Mr..
Tlllet and yourself, as we'll as the
building committee, all faithful to the
Interest ofthe county and very exact
ing and have got court house for less
than 5000 that should have cost your
county ten thousand dollars NV office
books will show this job of work lost
US money and cost more than we got
OF 1t, on account of several sub CON
tractors, violating their agreements
with US
You may use this letter or show it to
any one and in conclusion will saw
that any one who has made this state
ment as coming from me is an uun1iti
gated liar.
Respectfully yours,
