Tesla Has a Rival

Tesla has a rival in the field of Wis
ionary invention in Jan Szczepanik, a
prominent Polish electric specialist,
now in Vienna The rival has record
almost as extensive as Tesla's. It in
cludes an electromagnetic appliance
for the absolute prevention of railway
collisions, an improved telephone sys-
tenn to carry the voice 5000 miles, and
a wonderful weaving loom that will
work automatically and thus revolu-
tionize the entire textile manufacturing
industry by its speed and labor-saving
qualities. His latest has just been con-
fided to the Vienna newspapers for
publication. It is new discovery,
which Szczepanik claims will be of
great value to the military. It is de-
vice which is set in action simply by
the effect Of light. It is bomb which
contains an electric lamp in its inte-
rior mechanism, SO arranged that it
causes the bomb to explode the instant
a stream Of light is thrown from the
lamp. The supply Of light is con-
trolled by secondary mechanism set
