workman named Montag, who. 1t is re-
ported, has invented substitute for
coal which costs about 25 cents per
22O pounds to manufacture. Peat is
the basis, with the addition Of certain
chemicals. which, up to the present,
are the secret of the inventor. Parties
who have seen the product burn say
that it gives great heat, burns with
a bright flame and leaves no Stag and
only small quantity of white ash.
Certain Mannheim capitalists have
tried to obtain the secret from the in
ventor by Offering him position as
director in company to be establish.
ed. giving him a salary of $4,000 and 2
per cent Of the net profits, but he has
refused this offer, because he wants to
control the sale of the invention him
self. Capitalists now claim that Mop
tag asks too high price.
Mr. Gehrig, the secretary Of the
Mannheim chamber of commerce, has,
1t is said, undertaken to procure the
necessary means to commence the man

with the inventor. 1t is figured that
the daily output will be 60 tons. 1t is
said that the peat is thoroughly dried,

TESLA'S PREDICTIONS.


What the Electric Wizard Sees In
the Horoscope of Science.
In the current number Of Success
Nikola Tesla dips into the future as to
what science has in store for mankind.
Some of his predictions are as follows:
A system Of wireless telegraphy by

around the world.
Electrical production of ozone for
sterilizing water, to rid it of its many
Impurities.
The manufacture of artificial food by
oxidzed hydrogen.
The flying machine will be fact. 1t
will not bring universal peace, as some
suppose. Some nation will rule the air
as well as the sea.
Future developments will tend to d.
minish the number of individuals en-
gagged in battle. This will bring into
use machine which can be operated
by the fewest possible individuals.
Perfection Of the telautomaton, a ma
chine having all it's bodily movements
controlled from distance, without
wires Telautomatics are applicable to
any machine that moves on the land, in
water or in the air.
The transmission of electrical energy

The electrolytic process Of extracting
iron from ore and molding it into re-
CURED forms without fuel consumption.
The electrolytic manufacture of alu-
minium and its gradual determination

tinue in life.
