Dream of Nik0la Tesla

Nikola Tesla, the inventor. shows
the possibilities of the newspaper of
the future in an article in the Sci
entlhc American describing the sys-
tenn of wireless telegraphy he prom
ises soon to perfect.
Mr.. Tesla proposes to erect a CEN
trail tower to receive messages which
may be sent from all quarters of the
world by means of pocket instru-
ments carried by the senders.
BY means of this system each news
paper could erect a central tower
over it's plant and, equipping it's re-
porters with pocket Instruments; send
them forth into the world in quest of
news.
AS fast as a reporter got "story''
he could tick it off on his instrument
direct to the office, where another 3D.
orator would dash it off on a type
writer and send it to an editor to pass
upon. Describing his system Mr..
Tesla says:
THE results attained by me have
made my scheme of intelligence
transmission, for which the name of
world telegraphy' has been suggest
ed, easily realizable. It constitutes, I
believe, in it's principle of operation,
a radical and fruitful departure from
what has been done heretofore. I

thing to take the place of the late
lamented Ferris wheel, its one time
promised stadium, its porcelain lined
subway, and other beautiful things
that dreams are made of.
The man who is responsible for this
proposed globe is Samuel M. Friede,
a Chicago inventor, who has spent the
greater part of his life inventing
things to give calm and FESTIVE peo-
pie thrills at so much per thrill. He
designed and built the airship tower
at Sans Souci Park. That freak works.
He says his globe will also work.
The aerial globe will cost 100000

This appearance Of negro's head
in the room of man dying after he
had committed innumerable barbara
ties upon black slaves was a strange
coincidence and nothing more. Prof.
Owen, the famous anatomist, had
been attending an anatomical lecture,
where the body of negro had been
dissected. He was taking the head
home with him to examine it more
carefully. The streets were wet and
slippery. Just as he was passing the
open door of the house in which the
man lay dying he tripped and the
head, slipping from the cloth in
which he had it, rolled into the little
room. The cry of the dying mar di-
verted the attention of those who
were in the room, so that Owen was
able to secure his treasure and de-
part unnoticed.

The extreme height of the globe will

be surmounted with a steel Flagstaff
seventy feet higher. The base will
cover an area 1900 feet in circumfer-

pedestal, which will rise to a height
of about ESQ feet, directly upon which
will be built the globe, which will
measure $50 feet in diameter, or about
1000 feet in circumference. About

Why Lawyers Make Money

There are 100000 civil suits
brought in this country every year. If
the plaintiffs were different in every
case, one in eight of the voting popu-
lation could be said to be a litigant.
AS it is, the actual number of differ
ent litigants is not in excess Of $780,
000-400,000 plaintiffs and 100000 de-
fendants-which is l per cent of the
total population of the country, now
about 80,000,000.
The number of lawsuits brought in
a year in France is $4,000.
In Italy-Italians are much inclined
to litigation-it is 100000, and in
Germany it is 100000, very much
larger number, both actually and rel
atively, than the number in the Unit

year in Great Britain and Ireland
