Evidently Tesla takes little stock
in the wireless telegraph stations
now being built in this and other
countries. He believes they are mere
ly temporary; he calls them ridicu-
lous and mere toys. He does not
care to excite public interest in the
work he is pushing sc rapidly and
quietly and says he has no stock for
sele. He tells what the plant will do
by explaining it will be a central
wireless station, capable of sending
power great distances. He says it
easily a run machinery in this city,
sending the power eighty or ninety
miles without the use of wire connec-
tions. In explaining this he brings
out a new theory regarding the trans
mission of electrical energy without
the ust of wires, saying it will not be
sent through the earth. The gen.
eral belief has been heretofore that
with the M%arconi and other systems
the power was sent through the air.
II Tesla is going to use the ground
or water as a medium he has some
thing entirely new or the theories
regarding wireless telegraphy have
been incorrect.

PROPOSES TO TRANSMIT POWER
WITHOUT WIRES,
COSTLY PLANT GOING Ut
Wireless Telephone Among the
Things Promised-strange Ma
chimes Are Being Installed.

New York, Feb. 25.-Nicola Tesla,
the electrician, is putting up a strong
and costly plant at Wardencliff, L.
l., that promises to make necromancy
an everyday affair. To the fertile
mind CT the Servian, when his wire
less plant is finished. there will be
nothing impossible. From the build
ings there he promises to run the
busy wheels of industry in this city,
to make wireless telephoning easy and
certain, to operate an electric launch
far Vt sea or to run automobiles any
where and everywhere. only that
their electric attachments be attuned
to the power at mysterious Warden
cliffe.
While Tesla has been looked upon
as something of a dreamer, invention
after invention has been put on the
market through him, invariably u
cessful and a step in advance of
others. His undeveloped patents on
file in Washington and in countries
abroad probably number many hun
dreds, and other inventors are ex-
ceedingly careful in going ahead with
anything commercial without first
consulting the records, as they have
learned frequently that Tesla has been
on the ground first.
For this reason the quietness, if
not secrecy, with which he is going
about the building of his wireless
plant is taken to mean that he has
something that will astonish the scien-
tifc and commercial world.
Though the inventor will not GO
into detainls regarding his plans, he
will talk on them in a general way.
He is absorbed deeply in the putting
up of the buildings and the placing
of machinery. and recently has beer
spending much of his time in Warden
cliffe. 1t is known unlimited capital
is behind him. and the apparatus he
is installing resembles nothing ever
seen before.
The inventor. who has a way OF
talking of incomprehensible affairs as
IL they were things of daily routine,
will not say who is behind him In
this new venture. He says. however,

lieu thereof, which shall be reserved
for common school purposes, and are
hereby granted to the state of Mon

scribe the manner in which these

vided further, that the price of said
