The pleasures you face In the hours that race

The sights that you scant comfort shall be
Can they hold back a sob a tear
One by one your friends sail to that port beyond

But there always remains. TO put hope In your

The honor and glory OF work
The woes OF new day turn she dawn 20 dull gray.

When at last you have turned TO the toll you

TO LIGHT ALL THE WORLD

Nicola Tesla, of New York, who has
been at work on "wireless electric light"
for twenty years, has announced that he
has practically brought it to a state OF
perfection, and plant for its production
is nearing completion at his laboratory.
TT would ne possible by my powerful
wireless transmitter," said Mr.. Tesla, ito
light the entire United States. The cur
rent would pass into the air, and spread.
ing in all directions, produce the effect OF
a strong aurora borealia. 1t would be a
soft light, but sufficient to distinguish
objects.
"My present plan is to distribute this
light from central station. which is the
most economical aud also the best method
of obtaining light of highest quality. My
lamps will last forever there being moth
ing in them to burn out. They are simply
tubes or bulbs of glass hermetically sealed
and containing nothing but rsrified gas.
One advantage is the economy of pro-
duction which is greater than in any
other light SO far obtained. A great saw
ing will be effected by wireless distribu,
ton. l am intending chiefly to supply
isolated dwellings which cannot be con.
veniently reached by wires, and in this
system Of distribution there is absolutely
no difference where the dwelling is located
The force of the current is the same
whether the house is $4,000 miles from
the plant or IL feet.
