Uses soon to perfect. :,
Mr. Tesla proposes to erect 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 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 reporter got ''story''
he could tick it off on his instrument
direct to the Office, where another op-
orator would dash it off on type
writer and send it to an editor to pass
upon. Describing his system Mr..
Tesla says:
1.-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. 1t constitutes, I
believe, in its principle of operation,
a radical and fruitful departure from

Where now stands the Thalia thea

it was eli se to the cattle markets and

M. Paul Gaulot's "A Conspiracy
Under the Terror" which has just
been published, suggests to me an
other reason, beside that of the con-
t-ast between their characters. for
the contrast between the death scenes
of Louis XVI and of Marie Antoinette,
writes T. P. O'Connor. Not the least
horrible OF all the haunting horrors
of 'The Terror" is the death struggle
on the scaffold Of Louis XVI. ~.
Here is Louis Blanc's description of
= IN his "Histoire de la Revolution
Francaise": Descending from his
carriage, Louis fixed his eyes upon the
soldiers who surrounded him, and with
a menacing voice cried, 'Silence!' The
drums ceased to beat, but at a signal
from their officer the drummers again
went on. What treason is this?' he
shouted. I am lost! l am lost! For
it was evident up to this moment he
had been clinging 10 hope. The exc
cutioners now approached to take off
q part of his clothes; he repnlsedl
them fercely, and himself removed the
collar from his neck. All the blood in
his frame seemed to be turned into
fire when they sought to tie his hands.
Tie my hands!' he shrieked. A strug-
gle was inevitable. 1t came. 1t is in
disputable that Louis fought with his
executioners.
THE Able Edgeworth stood by, per-
picked, Mortified, speeches.. At last,
as his master seemed to look inquir-
ingly at him, he said: Sir, in this ad-
ditional outrage, only sec last trait
of the resem blance between your. maj
esty and the God who will give: you
your reward At these words the in:

brought in this country every year. If
the plaintiffs were different in every
