TESLA'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY
ScientiiiC American l.


Long distance wireless telegraphy,
ii we may believe the current story of
its latest developments, is about to
take an enormous stride both in its
reach aud lis lapidity. Tor we are
shortly to be in possession of means
oi wireless Geographic communication
across the Atlantic, by which we can
send messages at considerably greater
speed than is possible by the present
cable The feat is to be accomplished
| by the assistance of that oscillator"
with which the name Of Nicola Tesla
| Is SO we'll identified. We are, all Of
us, fairly well familiar with the Mar
conf system in which Hertzian waves
are utilized, the transmission OF cur
rents being aerial, or to speak more
correctly ETHEREAL. Mr. Tesla, how
ever, manipulates his recently discov-
cred stationary electrical waves in
the earth" by setting up vibratory
currents which can be transmitted
through the terrestrial globe, just as
through wire, to the greatest dis
tances."
According to public reports, Mr..
Tesla during the past year or so has
been devoting his time chiefly to the
improvement OF his generator and re-
ceiver. He claims to have so far per-
fected the system that by means Of
proper tuning" he can direct his
messages infallibly to any particular
receiver. 1t seems that the primary
purpose of his recent Pixies Peak ex-
periments was as a series of elaborate
tests, the result OF which satisfied Mr.
Tesla that when n suitable plant is
built, he can establish wireless cleo
trical communication between the old
and the new world. The system, as
described in interviews with the au.
thor, involves the production of cleo
trical vibrations of enormous frequen-
cy, a transmittcr which receives the
current, intensifies it, and sends it to
the earth, through which it flows in
every direction. A receiver which is
adjusted SO that its vibrations are in
tune with those of the transmitter is
set up, say in London, Paris or Ber-
lin, picks up the vibrations, and in.
tensifies them so that they become de-
cipherable at the receiving station.
These electrical vibrations are recover
able at any spot on the surface of the
globe. provided that the Tesla receiver
be at band to pick them up, and in
tenslfy them to point at which they
may be read.

" SASSIETY" GIRLS.
A Learned Professor Says They Are Not Fit
to Be Wives.

A Learned Professor Says They Are Not FIJI
to Be Wives.
Prof. J. Scott Clark, OF Chicago
speaking to his class in English litera'
ture at Northwestern University las,
week, said the merits of present day
women in no way equalled those oil
women in the days of his mother and
grandmother. His comment was di'
rected against the society girl.
"The society girl is a parasite
said the professor. "She lives on he,
father, and in return she gives him
nothing. She is of no benefit to the
world and there is no need of oul
keeping such weight upon u.s."
Continuing, he told of the failures
which society women make as mana
gers of a household, and said they
were unable to fill the domestic re.
quirements necessary to make the
home an abode of comfort.
"They toll not, neither do they
spin; yet Solomon in all his glory was
not arrayed like one of these" quoted
the professor, and he continued: "The
young man wko seeks a society girl
for a wife is on the wrong track
May God help him that marries one
OF them, for he is tying a milestone
OF his neck"

Washington Wore False Teeth.

The Baltimore Dental College, the
Oldest dental college in the world, has
in its possession one of the most inter
esting relics of George Washington.
This relic is set of artificial teeth
made by DIR. Greenwood, a dentist
who was also an officer in the Cont.
mental Army. The teeth were worn
for some time by General Washington.
DR.. Greenwood afterward made the
General a second set, which, according
to the Baltimore Sun, he wore until
his death, and which was buried with
him. The first set was afterward pre-.
eented to the dental college by DR.,
Greenwood. AS much as 5000 has
been offered for this set of teeth, but
the faculty of the college refused the
offer. The teeth were exhibited at the
Worlds Fair in 1893 and attracted
much attention.

hicks was the usual thing. But there
came improvements in typemaking
and it was discovered that three OF
four hicks on the side OF the type
made it easier for the printer to han
die, and SO the three or four nicked
type came into style and the two
nicked type went into disuse and bad
repute. Printers despised the two
nicked type. About that time wo.

favor by the old time printers. The
women and the two nicked type were
in about the same category in the es.
TEEN of the old typo, and it was very
natural that he should come to ex.
press both by the same words. They
both became two-nickers,' and the
expression has become traditional in
printshops."

MYSTERY RULES
COPPER MARKET
London Spectators I'm
able to Fathom the
Affair.

LONDON, Dec. 13.-The directors Of the
Rio Tintos Company have been meeting
here daily, though quite informally, since
the copper crisis became acute. 1t was
officially stated after to-day's meeting
that whatever settlement may be arrived
at now lies entirely with the Amalga-
mated Copper Company. The Rio Tintos
Company has made all the propositions
which 1T intends to make, but so far has
received no indication of the action the
Amalgamated Copper Company proposes
TO take. A feeling prevails that the con-
ditions will not be altered at present.
The Pail Mall Gazette says that if Rock
efeller has really thrown down the gaunt-
let to the Rothscnilds, which the paper
thinks improbable, there can be little
doubt of the Rothschilds' victory. The
paper adds:
1.-THE Rio Tintos Company is in a posi-
ton to regard with equanamity a further
drop of 70 shillingS per ton, but not so
the Standard Oil Company, which has to
consider the possibility of a general
smash of the American market"
Rio Tintos fell three-eighths at the
opening to-day but subsequently regained
this and slightly improved on last nights
erned by mysterious influences, the gene
sis of which even the dealers are unable
to understand. 1t is said to be remarka-
BILE that, in spite of the selling pressure,
coupled with the gloomy reports from
New York, the price of the standard
grade has only shrunk three shilIings per
ton. The first change in the price to-day
was when 1900 tons were sold at G52 for
all dates up to February 2S, and at 351 IS
for the three months. The heaviest SELL
ing was from a fresh quarter. 1t excited
curiosity, but no explanation was forth
coming.
1t is believed in many quarters that the
most important London houses consider
the present prices to be justified by the
great expansion and consumption of re-
cent years, and that, consequently, they
are willing to lay in considerable stocks

drifting for an hour the drag held. Then
the assistance of the Spreckels tug Relief
was called in and the remains of the ILL
fated vessel wee finally located. Regard
ing the belief that the wreck has been To-
Gated Captain Silovich of the tug Relief
said:
1 am certain we have located the remains of
the San Rafael. Our drag anchor held and the
hukes and chain are marked with white and
from the Alcatraz light to the gas works and
the hull lies in twenty fathoms of water.
There is fourteen fathoms over her, but on
each side of her there is fall Of about thirty
feet. She could not have drifted more than
a quarter of a mile after she collded with the
Sausalito before she went down.
Judging from our soundings she must be
lying on her side. 1 am sure they have To-
Gated her but whether the hull will ever be Of
any use even If it is recovered don't know.
The machinery is the best of its kind and is
we'll worth saving.
Divers will go down to-day and make sure.

they have the wreck. If it is in the position
