TO TAKE SHORTEST TRACK
--latest Invention of Tesla, the Elec-
trical Wizard.

"
NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Nikola Tesla
says the statement of James Galbraith
of London that he was going to estab-
hsh a receiving station for Mr.. Tesla $
wireless .telegraphy system somewhere
near the fortieth parallel was premature
Mr.. Tesla says he is not going to send
his messages through the air, but
through the earth. The intention of
Mr.. Tesla is to erect at some point In
this country a very powerful ''oscilla-
tor, which is an electrical contrivanoe
of connection. The station in Europe
will have similar instruments.
When the current of the "oscillator"
is turned on the enormous voltage will
take the shortest track TO the instrument
made to receive it. For long distances
this shortest track" will necessarily
be through the earth, not over it.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles OF plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
themin the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable TO the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dlspelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

ATLANTA, Feb. 90. - The southern
states, from Texas to the Atlantic coast,
were given their first taste of winter
last night and morning, snow falling i'll
many places, from Charleston, S. O., to
central and northern Texas, and almost
to the gulf. The storm, which was over
the west gulf coast last night, moved
rapidly TO the east during the night and
is central today over northern Florida,
where snow is expected during the next
IL hours.
The line of freezing temperature as
reported by the local weather bureau
this morning extends to the southern
portion Of Georgia and TO the coasts of
Alabama and Louisiana.
In some portions of the south the
snowstorm was brought on the wings of
high northwest winds, which wrecked
all telegraph and telephone communiea.

Heaviest Fall In Georgia.
The heaviest snowfall recorded is at
LaGrange, Ga, where the precipitation
was ~ lncnoS. AT Blrmlngha there
Is about inches; Montgomery reports
similar depth and very cold weather;
southern Mississippi reports the first
snow i'll some places in two years; there
is none at New Orleans
The precipitation reported at Dallas
Is inches and in northwestern Texas
from to inches. The snow is, of
course, of great benefit TO the growing
wheat, but it is feared will cause severe
loss to livestock.
Five Inches In Atlanta.
In Atlanta snow began falling last
night, and by 10 o'clock this morning
the ground was covered to a depth of
inches. All trains were from 20 minutes
to hours late, causing a'consequent de-
lay to mails. The street car comp panies
called out their men at 2 o'clock this
morning and put their cars into service
for the purpose of keeping their tracks
open. This served in a measure TO avert
complete suspension of service this
morning
Fair and much colder weather is pre-
dioted for tonight and Sunday.

Fate OF the Captain.

Freight Clerk G. J. Englehart of the
Rio de Janeiro, who was saved, said:
"The report that Captain Ward locked
himself in his cabin must be untrue.
The last l saw of Captain Ward he was
standing on the bridge and was tieing
the rope of the whistle to the rail This
was done to keep the whistle blowing
all the time. l am sure that the ship
sank so quickly that Captain Ward did
