"EIeCtriCitX Is Life"

ture. New discoveries are being
made in regard TO its generation, d.
reCtion and effects The mysteries of
existence are perhaps involved in it
and when the subject of electricity is
understood il will throw light upon
many things concerning which We
now know absolutely nothing. Nikola
Tesla has already made wonderful dis
coveries in this occult science and if
his life is spared to enable him to ac-
complish his designs he will illustrate
still more wonderful effects of this
subtle element. He believes he sees
in the near future the possibility of
success in curing diseases by the
effects Of electricity upon human suf-
ferers. He proposes TO generate
million volts Of this force to oxidize
the bacilli of diseases. He claims that
such tremendous force will not in
jure a man but will xiii the germs Of
disease. 1t is not plain to many why
force of 1900 volts will kill a man
and $4,000 will not injure him. Tesla
himself has been affected with force
of $4,000 and escaped uninjured In
explaining this, DR.. Kolle says: The
reason that $4,000 volts did not kill
Tesla when he took that strength of
| current is that the cells in his body
| did not have time to contract in re-
| spouse to it. Much less would have
| killed him instantly Much more is
all the SAFER. 1t is just such case as
| that of a bullet going through win
| dow pane. At high speed IL will cut
clean hole aud will not crack the
glass. The PARTICLES have not time
to spread during the period ofimpact.
There is a common proverb that
| electricity is life and the scien tific
meaning Of that saying is that it
oXidzes the tissue. This M UGH is
| known: Oxidation does kill bacilli
| Of all kinds. And since these currents
| produce OXidiZation the theory OF
Tesla is correct. The only question
is, how much oxidation of tissue will
kill bacilli therein? Perhaps that is
TO be determined,

Oklahoma, by her governors report
| for 1898, shows remarkable progress.
In 1890 the territory had population
of 61,000, The population at the pres
ent time is third OF million. I'M
migration is constantly increasing
the number of its inhabitants and
adding to it's wealth. Yet with an
area of 25,O0O,O00 acres probably not
one-third of the tillables surface is
under cultivation. More than 1000, 900
acres are subject to homestead and
5000, 900 acres are reserved to the COM
monwealth-for schools and public
improvements. The assessed valua-
tion-which consists mostly of i'm
provements and chattels-is $4,000
600. There are a million head Of cat
tie. 250, 900 horses and mules and 300,
900 hogs in the territory. Wheat,
oats, corn, hay, and orchard fruits are
extensively raised while stock raising
is the leading industry. Educational
institutions are we'll supported and
churches are numerous.
