tailor proceeds to wrap gummed
paper over you with a special con-

your waist, passes it around your
shoulder and sees TO IL that the edges

obtained, as it were, which is peeled

April 8 marks the birthday of Primo
ess Maud Alexandra and of MIS-.
Olivia Series, one of whom belongs
TO the British royal family ana the
other of whom persistently pretended
that she did.
Princess Maud Alexandra is only
twenty-one years old today. Her
name in full is Maud Alexandra
Victoria Georgia Bertha Duff. She is
the daughter of Princess Louise, who
is the eldest daughter of the late
King Edward VIII and sister OF
the present king.
Olivia Series was born in England
in 1772. She was a carpenters daugh-
ter and when nineteen she married
her painting teacher whom she soon
excelled at his own art, Shs eX-

when she was thirty-three she man
aged to get herself appointed land
scape painter to the Prince of Wales.

probably did not have to have any
thing specially to do with the prince,
but the idea of being connected with
the royal amily in any way apparent

these she presented in 1917 and it was

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
How Westinghouse Gave the Credit to Nikola Tesla

In the early spring of 1892 the late
George Westinghouse invited me to
Join a party of men of science and
of large capital who were to visit
Niagara Falls with a view of inspect
ing the preliminary work which
afterward became the colossal
Niagara Falls power plant.
1t was a distinguished company.
The great engineer, Dr. Coleman
Sellers, of Philade lphia, who had been
associated with those who were
undertaking this important work.
was Of the party. Nikola Tesla was
also one of the group. That brilliant
constructive genius of engineering
and finance. Edwin D. Adams, was of
the company. William Rankins, to
whose perseverance the organization
of the company was due, and Francis
Lynde Stetson, one of the ablest and
most distinguished of the members Of
the American bar, who took a keen
interest in this proposition, were also
there.
But easily the leader of the group
was Mr. WESTINGHOUSE himself Those
who were of the party gathered
around him at the opening of what
became the great tunnel. They
listened eagerly to all he had to say.

Yet he was distinguished for his
modesty and utter lack of seif-con-
seriousness. At one moment when |
happened to be by his side he nudged
me gently with his elbow and then,
pointing to Tesla, said:
THAT mans invention of the step
down transformer, by means of
which a great voltage is converted
into one which is of commercial
practicability, has made all of this
work possible"
This was a remark characteristic of
Mr.. Westinghouse who was singu-
larry free from jealousy of any kind.
I asked Mr. Westinghouse when
