A Freak of the Lightning.

A curious case of lightning destrue-
ton took place at CATCHING. an i'm
perlal summer residence not far from
st. Petersburg, where stood stone
column 80 feet high, held together by
iron angles. When rain fell, more or
less water pentrated the stones In the
interior OF the monument. One day 1t
was struck by lightning, and instantly
the whole column disappeared from
view, killing lone sentry on guard.
The only explanation Is that the heat
OF the lightning instantly generated
steam on coming In contact with some
OF the water, and the terrific explosion

Relics Of Prince Charlie.

An interesting little collection OF
relics of Prince Charlie. including three
beautiful wais,cOats. were recently Of
fered for sale in Aberdeen. Scotland.
They We're the property of the late
Don Carlos Pedro Gordon. of Ward
house, whose silver plate came TO the
hammer at the same time. The waist
coats were worked by Mr.. Gordon S
grandmother, the daughter OF
Count StrasbOurg. Mrs Gordon was
a violent Jacobite. and during the resi-
dence Of Prince Charlie at Hollywood in
1l45 she made three vests. Two of
them are yellow silk: the other is
crimson, richly embroidered with gold
Among the other relics advertised are
two gold rings. with miniatures of
Charles |. and Charles II. They were
given by the old chevalier to Mrs. Cor
don's stepfather. the famous Jacobite.
Alexander Gordon. who spent his
youth in the Russian army. and wrote
a life of Peter the Great There is also
a letter written by Prince Charlie.
There is no doubt about the genuine
ness of the relics. which were once

Speaking Clocks,

We speak of watches and clocks as
telling the time, but we do not as
rule expect to be understood as saying
that they do it in SO many words.
Now. however, we may make mention
of clocks that literally tell the hour.
These phonograph clocks are being
made in Switzerland, and are the very
latest thing in the line OF timepieces.
When a button is pressed they pro-
nOunce the hour distinctly, thus saw
ing the owner the trouble of looking
for himself to see where the hands
point. The new invention has been
utilized to awaken a sleeper in alto
gether a more natural manner than by
the old system. A clock set 10 awaken
its owner at six, calls out to the SUM
berer: 1t is six O'Clock get up"
Some clocks. evidently intended for the
use of obstinate sleepers, add: Now
don't go TO sleep again." The form Of
warming can be chosen by the buyer,
and may be more or less emphatic.
The application of the photographic
principle to watches and clocks is the
work of a French matchmaker settled
at Geneva. He introduced into the
timepieces little slabs of vulcanized
rubber. on which the desired words are
traced in grooves corresponding 10 the
hours and fraction of hours.

A STARTLING DISCOVERY.
How NIkoIa Tesla VIII Transmit Power
Through Air.

AS civilization advances and our
needs multiply, the demands on the
toilers in the various departments of
science constantly increase, and nat
urally the activity in the direction of
providing new resources becomes
more and more intense. But the Sc
verest burden is undoubtedly on the
engineer, mechanic or inventor, whose
task it is TO produce motive power.
The problem OF providing economical
power has ever taxed the inventive
mind, and with the introduction OF
electricity great stride IN advance
has been effected. But still, many
limitations were encountered in the
difficulties Of efficiently transmitting
the energy of great sources of power,
which exist in abundance in Nature,
20 remote places of utilization. Here
II Is that Nikola Tesla did his first
great work by discovering the rotating
magnetic field anG applying it to a
practical system Of electric power

Of the world As we were then. so new
We are privileged to record another
forward step which if successful on q
large scale. VIII prove of astounding
consequences. for it Will open up I'M
limited resources OF practically cost
less power. Tesla now proposes TO
transmit, without the use OF any wires,
through the natural media-the earth
and the air-great amounts of power
to distances OF thousands Of miles
This will appear dream = tale from
the Arabian Nights. But the extra
ordinary discoveries Tesla has made
during a number of years OF incessant
labor make it evident that his work
in this field has passed the stage of
mere laboratory experiment and is
ready for practical test on an in
dustrial scale. The success of his eff
forts means that power from such
sources as Niagara Will become avail
