EACH LAMP A SMALL SUN.
Nicola Tesla, the Electrician, Per-
fects His Remarkable daylight
lllum ma tiOn."

Nicola Tesla has at last perfected
his new system of electric lighting
daylight illumination, il may be called
and he hopes to have it soon intro
duced into general use. Under a full
head of electricity the lamp has the
color of ice in the sun. There are
neither wires nor carbon fiiaments to
break or burn out.
The lamp may be described as
nest of glass tubes, bent in rectangu-
lar form. Each lamp has about 90
feet of the white flaming tubes. Into
this square coil of hollow glass of the
diameter of ones finger electricity is
sent quivering from Tesla's oscillator.
Tes,a's oscillator, which he believes
is the key for solving the most impor
tant electrical problems of the day,
causes electrical vibrations of incon-
ceivable speed. These vibrations turn
the atoms Of the gases in the tubes
into, as il were. little comets. which
shoot through the inclosed space with
tremendous rapidity, leaving trains of
light behind. This sudden starting
and stopping of the current produces
continuous light, neither of the incan-
descent nor of the arc light character.
but purely solar. In other words,
each lamp is little sun.

EXPEDITION TO LABRADOR.
Geography, Geology, Botany,
Zoology, MineralOgy, Etc.

A geological and geographical expe.
dition to Labrador, Iceland and Green
land is being planned at Boston for
the coming summer. Last summer five
Harvard men went to Labrador with
DR.. r. A. Daily, of the university mu-
scum, department of geology and geog-
raphy. This years expedition, which
is also under DR.. DAILY, promises to be
much larger and more elaborate.
AS planned at present, the expedition
will have large steamer and take so
men, if that number can be found
who wish to go. In this party it is
hoped to have students of geography,
geology, botany, zoology, mineralogy
and all branches of natural history.
The expedition is not limited to Ameri-
cans, but men of all nationalities are
asked to go. A doctor will attend the
men.
Explanatory lectures will be given
on the regions visited from time to
time by the leader of the expedition.
Labrador will be investigated again.
The expedition will start June 90
and return on September 90.
Labrador will not be the limit of he
expedition. Tae men will go north
to examine the lava fields. geysers and
fjords of Iceland and the glaciers of
West Greenland. A hunting party is
10 be landed on the west coast of Green
land and in Labrador for short time.

FAILED TO PAY POLL TAXES.
Thousands of Mississippi Voters Dis
franchised by Neglect.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. s.-The Missis-
sippi politicians are much disturbed over
the great shrinkage in the vote Of Mis-
sissippi this year. The constitution of
that State requires the payment Of poll
taxes two years in advance OF an cleo
ton in order to qualify an elector TO vote.
The time for the payment of these poll
taxes expired few days ago and the re-
turns from the several counties show
that a :arge majority Of white voters have
disfrar chised themselves by failure to
pay this tax and will not be allowed to
participate in the Congressional or other
elections of 1902
In spite of the efforts of the politicians
and the newspapers, the number OF voters
who have disqualified themselves is far
greater than ever before. In YaZoo
County, for instance, with 43,94S popula
ton and never over 5000 registered
more than seven-eighths OF the voters
failed to pay their poll taxes and cannot
vote before 1903 The number of votes In
that county has been reduced to $50, and
the vote is likely to be reduced to 500 in
1902. At this rate, Mississippi's vote in
the election that year will fall below 10000
and may fell below $4,000. The neglect
of the whites to fit. themselves for the SUI
frage has caused feeling of great dis

The surveying party had found good
rock foundation for the Conchuda dam On
the Nicaragua side of the Juan River,
but there was no proper foundation on
the Costa Rica side. and this would cause
n great deal of trouble. This dam will
flood by the backwater considerable ter
ritory. and Messrs. German and Barker
thought that Nicaragua would present
bill for the damage done.
