Great Grand Daughter of Mar

Land in PHILADELPHIA.

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 19.-After
seventy-two years of intermittent toll
and ease, prlvation and comfort, Mrs.
Esther Coates Boggs believes that she
is about to be established as one Of
the rightful heirs of an estate valued
at upward Of $50,000,000.
Mrs. Boggs is a great grand-daugh-
ter of Marmaduke Coates, who at one
time owned much valuable land in
the vicinity of where Philadelphia
now stands. In the last few days she
has had letters from relatives in the
East in which they report that late
in the year 1916 the original Marina
duke Coates leased his property for
one hundred years to various firms
and individuals in the city Of Phila-
delphia. Included in these holdings
were thirty-six full city blocks.

be-" commented Mrs. Boggs, as she
sat knitting at her home.

Death by Aerial Currents.
Nicola Tesla himself has been work
ings on the transmission Of electrical
energy for years. Although he re-
fuses to give details, he declares that
he has made a great advance in his
experiments. According to his gem
eral description, his invention will
make It possible 10 send an explosive
body through the air, directed to the
spot desired, where 1t can be exploded
from the seat Of the wireless opera
tor. He asserts that his apparatus
will be able'to set up electrical ac-
ton interfering with an enemy and
rendering him ineffective, and that 1t
will produce electrical tension at a
great distance to destroy life and
property.
The inference is that death, fire and
explosion are to be dealt out by wire
less. Summing up this and other adj
vances in the tranmission Of wireless
energy, the future war is to be one in
which electrical appliances more dead
ly than all the guns on earth will be

ly that whole areas will be electrified

About 100 human noses and perhaps
