from the transmitting and receiving
the only loss incurred is
the energy radiated in the form Of
Hertzlan or electromagnetic waves
which can be reduced to an entirely
insignificant quantity"
Finally, as to the now famous Tesla
Tower This is huge mushroom shap-
ed tower at wardenclyffe, Long Is
land, New York, a place some 60 or
so miles out from the city along Long
Island Sound This tower is 1S5 feet
high from the ground to the top of
the cupola. The smallest dimension
across the base of uprights is 81 feet.
The height to the ledge of the cupola
is 1853 feet, while the cupola itself Is
65 feet in diameter. The tower has
eight sides, with staircase and life
for reaching the cupola platform. II
is from this cupola that wireless vi
prdtlons are to be shot out in any dc-
sired voltage to given points scatter
ed over a very wide radius. Not on
Y so, but Tesla dreams of making 1t
a receiving station to which can be
transmitted ceaseless day and night
service of millions upon millions of
volts from such power plants as those
of Niagara Thence such a force
could be transmitted to run the
street cars, the elevateds, the sub
| ways, the factories, the electric
lights, the railroads, the automobiles,
the ferries, the trucks, the heaters in
the cellars and the clocks in the par
lors of the great city of New York.
Tesla's dream also includes the er.
ection of towers similar to this at
| WdTueHclylie at CohNehith' Pi"SeSi
everywhere, for the purpose of dis.
tributing wireless energy for all
these purposes over their respective
areas. Some towers would be sup
piled with power from such sources
as Niagara Falls or Victoria Falls. Or
plants will be erected alongside OF
between the main uprights, each dis
tributing a huge horsepower under a
tension of millions of volts. Mr.. Tesla
| declares he can handle the most amaz
ing voltage from such towers with alb
solute safety, and his dream is of an
America dotted over with these tow
ers, each supplying all the energy for
say, an area of so miles about and
spaced from each other 60 miles II
such a manner that practically ever,
inch of ground is covered by his new
wireless service.
Not only wireless power service bu
wireless telegraph and telephone ser
vice will be furnished by his network
of towers, covering the entire eartl
and making it possible for a man IL
New York to talk directly with hi
friend in London. Tesla dreams O
the day when a man may dictate hi
orders in San Francisco and they ma
be set up and printed directly 1
New York, of q day when not merel
photographs will be transmitted
wireless, but when one can actual
see over the wireless the friend
: whom he is talking in some distaI
, part of the earth, watch his fact
