TESLA HAS A NEW ONE.
Wonder Mechanism, He Says, VIII
Change Many Things.

New York, May 2O.-Following the
incorporation Of the Tesla Propulsion
Company, with s1,00O,0OO capital
stock, at Albany, today. to exploit one
OF Nicola Tesla's inventions, Mr.. Tesla
announced the adoption Of the de-
vice by the Alabama Consolidated
Coal and Iron Company.
II have discovered a mechanical
principle entirely new and Of the
greatest economic value" Mr.. Tesla
said, "but I shall not be in a position
to make known the details and ex-
hibit the principle in operation for
perhaps six weeks. 1t is a principle
which minimizes the size of the pow-
reproducing plant and increases to a
maximum the power reduced The
apparatus We will build for the Ala
bama concern will not be one-third
OF the size of the ordinary air blast
machinery equipment for such work,
and the air blast and other effective
results will be far superior in volume
and value to those at present general
ly used.
I'm connection with this plant I
Will install a turbine of my own in
vention, and the air blast will be sup
piled under a turbine principle. This
new mechanical principle 1 have dis
covered is applicable to air, steam,
gas or water power, and may be used
for locomotives, automobiles or any
form of power production. With II
locomotive as powerful as any now
used would need to be less than half
the size"
The Tesla Propulsion Company's
directors include Mr.. Tesla, Joseph
Headley and Walter III. knight OF
New York. Mr.. Tesla stated that ma
chimes Of several types had been built
and that successful demonstrations
had been given with them to his as
sociates on the new company and to
representatives Of the Alabama COM
pany.

break up the restfulness of the green
lawn.
Flowers on the Table for Every Meal.
Then, after you have gotten some
grass and shrubbery about the house,
do not imagine that it is the place for
the horses and mules to Craze. Have
a permanent pasture, and do not use
the home grounds for this purpose.

Flies: How to Reduce Them.

Everyone wiz admit that fies arc
a great nuisance IN summer, but few
fully understand the dangers from
flies as carriers Of disease germs ana
filth. have often urged the impor-
tance OF getting the manure out on
tho fields as fast as made. This is q
matter Of even more importance than
ih winter, as the hot weather comes
on, for the horse manure is the breed
ing place Of the house flies. and 1t IL
rot pleasant. to say the least, to have
flies covering our food when they are
right from the manure pile.
Flies on the farm can be made
much scarcer by keeping the manure
well cleaned up. Then the wooven
wire screens are now made very
cheaply and easily adopted to all
sizes Of windows. and wire screen
doors fitted with springs to close
quickly will also aid in keeping out
flies and mosquitoes. The few that
get in can be rapidly disposed Of
with one of the fine wire brushes now
sold in the hardware stores. With
one Of these the housekeeper can go
around the room and kill every fly
on wall or window very rapidly.
Especially should there be the
closest attention in keeping out flies
when there is sickness in the neigh
borhOod, and people are careless
about the wastes Of the sick room.
called attention last year to the
fact that flies in the dining-room
caused the outbreak Of typhoid at the
State Normal College at Greensboro,
and doubtless, many other cases of
diseases that puzzled people to find
tho cause. were due to the flies
Hence 1t is not only important for
comfort to keep the flies out, but
especially important as a preventive
OF disease.
With a farmhouse isolated from
other buildings, 1t should be easy to
prevent many of the flies that are
| usually found there. by keeping the
stables and farm-yard absolutely
clean Of manure. and getting it out
where 1t will do good and not harm.
Remember that they have horse
manure and filth to breed in, and you
do not want these carried into your
milk or other food.-PrOf. Massey In

Tho Right Kind Of Stock and the
Right Kind Of Stockmen.

A. the editor says. the keeping of
live stock for profit depends as much
on the man as anything else. It also
depends on the kind Of stock raised.
There is little profit In feeding scrub
cattle TOR beef. and less In raising
razor-back hogs that require two
years to make pork. But the man
who lets his cattle run out all winter
under the lee of the barn or straw
stacks needs nothing but scrubs. and
will find little profit In keeping cat
tie.
Improved animals that have been
carefully bred for the making of
the best beef or the best dairy pro-
ducts. need the best care; and the
pigs that make pork In six to eight
months need also better care than the
piney woods ranger. In this good
care and good feedingswith the best of
forage lies the profit.
Don't Depend ON Corn Alone for
1t does not pay to raise hogs on
corn alone. but where they are sup
piled with a constant succession Of
green food that they can gather for
themselves. II takes but little corn 10

part Of the country where hogs can
be grown so easily and cheaply as in
the South. since We can provide
something for them to eat from the
field every month in the year.

great industrial truth. "The man
who builds his city, who works in sea-

energy and his vitality for it's growth
and development, must needs have in
his heart faith for it's future and love
for its very being. We see practical
demonstrations .of this every day in
every year we live!"

affection and that faith find express
sion in action it is as sounding brass
or a tinkling cymbal. The disserta-
ton OF James, the apostle. on faith
and works is as applicable to city
building as it is to soul saving. What
Goth 1t profit though a man say he
hath faith and have not works? Can
faith save him?" A passive faith Is
