NEW YORK.
give you today the substance Of two re-
bile talks with Nikola Tesla. The first
l had in his laboratory on East Houston
street nine years ago last September. The
second was held in the Waldorf tonight.
The first interview was most interesting,
giving a wonderful insight into Tesla the
inventor and Tesla the man, but 1t was
never published. for Mr.. Tesla at its close,
on the ground of business reasons, begged
that say nothing about him for months to
come. l wrote out the notes. however, ana
laid them away, and when met Mr.. Iesla
tonight / told him l now intended to use
them. At the same time we had the eX-
traordnary conversation about his recent
discoveries and inventions as to the trans
mission of force, which ! reproduce IN the
latter part of this article.
First take a glance at Telsa the man. He
looked more like an Italian savant than
hard working inventor. when i saw him In
the Waldorf tonight. He was In evening
dress and was the most striking inquire OF
the score of public men who stood about the
lobby. Mr.. Teslaris now forty-seven years
of age and is in his physical and intellectual
prime. He Is tall and slender. his head is
long. thin and intellectual, with forehead
high and full He was born in Hungary
and educated there bat he speaks English
perfectly and Is one of the most charming
converSationalists l have ever met.
AS a Boy.
During my chat of ssome years ago he
talked of his boyhood His father was
clergyman of the Greek Church, and Nj
kola was intended for the priesthood. He
had a brother older than himself, whom the
rest Of the family considered much brighter
That brother died young. and this so crazed
his father and mother that 1t took them
long to realize the genius of Nikola. If he
stood well in his studies his fathers eyes
would I'LL as he thought how much better
perhaps the other son might nave done,

The word plague" is here used as
a synonym of epidemic and not as a
specific designation of any disease.
The necessity for, and the conse-
quent severity of control of a preva-
lent animal disease will depend on
two things: The possible loss of hui
man life which may result if such
disease may be transmitted to mem
bers of the human family; and second
ly,l on the possible financial loss which
such epidemic may incur, either in the
direct loss of animals or in the indi-
rect loss of their products, be that
either as work or food. The control
will, therefore; depend on whether or
not a disease is common to man and
one or more species of the lower ami
mails, or just to animals, and, making
one more division, 1t will also make
some difference whether a plague. is

reassembed into casein, fat, sugar
and water in milk, ready for delivery
on demand. Surely writer's or agrit
cultural chemists do not mean to adj
yocate a balanced ration" theory OF
transmitting ingredients from food to
animal product without animal asslmt
ilation. for no such thing exists in
nature. The theory of balanced ra-,
tions rests on the knowledge that
when an animal consumes more of
one kind of food, as for example:
carbohydrate like sugar, than the sys-
tenn can assimilate and make part
of itself. the unassimilated part Is
wasted, so far as nourishment is con-
cerned. So the entire system of in
yestigations has been to find how
much of the two classes of fOod-pro-
tein and carbohydrate-animals can
consume without waste in digestion
and assimilation
The central fact in this matter Is
this: The theory of balanced ration
is founded on perfect digestion and
assimilation of food, and any sugges-
ton that the ingredients of food pass
into the product of animal life before
the ingredients, by digestion and as
similation, have become a part of the
animal itself is all nonsense. And if
you feed cow the finest balanced ra-
ton ever devised and she was not
giving milk it would not produce milk,
but fatten instead.
Well, what becomes of the balanced
ration then? Merely this: If the ra-
ton has been nicely adjusted as to
it's proportion of digestible protein
and carbohydrate contents, and if the
quantity fed has been skillfully adj
justed to the animals digestive capac-
ity, there will be the smallest possible
waste of feed and the largest possible
production from the animal, whether
it be milk or fat and flesh, and if it's
hen in condition to produce eggs,
then eggs will be the result, but If
moulting it will be feathers.
Now, please indulge me few
words in regard to fads or hobbies.

petition between creameries. 1t some
times occurs that dairyman's milk
or cream is in bad condition and the
creamery operator tells him about it,
and, in extreme cases, rejects it.
Then the dairyman makes roar and
says 1t is "as good as Mr.. HIS, Mr.. Us
or Mr.. WIS milk or cream, and if you
won't take it / will let Mr.. C's or Mr..
Ms creamery have it. They said they
would take it anytime you did not
want it," Everything goes and all
the spoiled milk and cream goes to
market, and the consumer does not
know who produced it. The result is,
there is but very little milk and cream
ket. What the. dairymen need is a
dairy and pure food commissioners,
with all the power and authority of
an inspector, whose duty it shall be
to visit, without notice, any or all
dairymen and creameries, take SAM
pies of dairy products that are in bad
condition, unclean or below the lawful
grade, test them, and where found
wanting, inform the parties that pro-
duce and handle such products that
such products are condemned. He
should take notice of the sanitary
conditions where such articles are pro-
duced or handled, and if necessary
give instructions that will lead to the
production of good articles.
We think such a course with short
detail of other powers and duties, de-
legated to an intelligent and generous
commissioner, would in time improve
dairying to the extent that it would
induce condensed cream and milk fac
tories to locate in the state of Wash
ington, which would strongly tend to
hold the price steady and well up on a
first class article of milk and cream.
Finally, we are assured that by in.
tell1gent effort we can raise every
thing that is good for a dairy cow to
eat, in every section of the state, and
there is no other state in North Amer
lea with as great diversity in CHM
ate when you pass from one border
of the state to the other, and every
section adapted to dairying with but
little preparation by the dairy farmer.
Then it is left to our care, energy and
perseverance, to attain the much de-
sired object-prosperity-by stock
raising and dairy farming.

THE NON. UNION MAN REcoeN,z Ed.

One of the most notable incidents in
labor affairs occurred in New York
Monday when 1900 delegates to a
meeting OF the Brotherhood OF Loco
motive Engineers representing locals
within 500 miles of New York took the
stand that they would never refuse to
work with non-union man so long az
he received the union scale Of wages.
NJ NJ Clapp. OF Division No. 1853,
Jersey City, said when the meeting was
over:
we wish it to be distinctly under
stood that the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers take the stand THAI,
as our forefathers gave us all equal
rights, we have no right to decide that
we will not work with non-union men.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive En-.
gineers or its members as body new
err said that they should work with
none but members of the brotherhood.
What we have insisted on and will AZ
ways insist on Is that the standard OF
union wages be observed all along
whether the men be union or nom
union. We hold that q non-union man
has as good a right to work as a union
man II he gets the same wages.
I'VE hold that non-union man has
as good right to work as union
man II he gets the same wages" is a
new principle to be publicly endorsed
by labor union. That 1t comes from
the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engin-
GERS is not surprising. for this is one
Of the Oldest and most intelligent OF
labor organizations. 1t Is step for.
word recognition OF the right and an
acceptance Of the inevitable.
Such action by one union adds sup
port to the contention OF students OF
the labor problem that the labor union
will grow wise and sane by experience,
until It becomes an indispensable aid
to industry instead OF terror to capt.
tai as it is largely looked upon today.
No reasonable man has ever denied the
right OF workmen to quit work in
body. to strike. albeit such action may
prove II great damage to an employer.
This right the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers still retains and Will ex-
ercise 1t IL other engineers attempt to
work for a lower scale OF wages than
they are willing to accept. Whenever
men are being underbid in their wages
they must have the right to quit their
work to strike II necessary, in self
protection. But at that point their
rights cease. II they picket shop
and go to smashing the heads of nom
union men, who need work even at the
low wage, they become common law
breakers Wage workers have no more
right to assault or intimidate other
wage workers who will work for less
pay than has dentist to use his for
ceps to pound the head of another dem
tist who pulls teeth at half price.
The brotherhood has established a
precedent that will some day become
an accepted principle of unionism, that
the non-unlon man mas the saihe iisH,
to work as the union man. The next
step will be recognition of the uniaw-
fulness of rioting and intimidation, and
then the union will institute & rigid
system Of examination and classified
ton OF it's members SO that a union
card will be guarantee of skill and
fitness. When that is done the union
