lance by wireless electric shock similar to that
produced by touching charged wire One can
think of no other way in which effects perious to
life and property could be obtained with cleo
tricity
With this idea worked out to its ultimate per-
lection, one might foretell such appalling events
in warfare as this: An entire army, in its
trenches, is without warning seized with the death
agonies of wretch in the electrical chair, and is
exterminated by silent enemy, using no bullets.
Or, at given moment, every living thing in
great city is struck dead as if by lightning by
means of a force unleashed hundreds of miles
away by officer who merely pulls a lever in
wireless tower.
Tesla appears to see in the future warfare of
electrical appliances more deadly than all the can
non ever made; he sees entire areas electr1hed
and made untenable for any living creature.
Death and destruction will be dealt out at unheard
of distances with zones of action more spacious
than we now dream Of There is foreshadowed
a conflict in which not armies but nations may
be destroyed in single action, by men armed
with thunderbolts more mighty than those OF the
heavens. No wonder that Tesla. his own imagi
nation recoiling in horror, says
81 hope this is the invention that will make war
impossible"
Another device for which inventors are seeking
is one that will be able by means of the wireless
current to explode at distance the enemy's
magazines of ammunition If this were perfected.

blow up all the cartridges and explosives in the

Paris newspaper recently, Marcon father Of wire

would mean the abolition of firearms and re-
version to hand-to-hand fighting,
A Dutch inventor named I4anzius, now in New
York claims to have made such a device. An
Italian inventor won considerable notoriety for
himself two years ago by demonstrating an appa

ELECTRIC FURNACES

An electric furnace for the heat treatment of
steel used in automobile construction has been
introduced It's method of producing uniform,
dependable heat that is urgently sought by
automobile manufacturers is quite novel in cleo
trio furnace practice, although its principle is
comparable to that of the well-known Nernst
lamp. Both the floor and the domelike covers of
this furnace are of refractory material which is
practically nonconducting at ordinary tempera-
lures. To start the furnace, current is passed
through bed of coke laid on its floor On bein-
sufficiently heated the floor becomes conductor
and in turn heats the wall and top, rendering
them conductive. until finally the entire furnace
becomes incandescent. 1t is stated by those who
have tried the furnace that its in the heat
treatment of automobile parts promises to be
extensive in the future

years of application to the problem of transmitting

reached where to extent it is practicable to use
this force in war, and to predict such develop

ct is impossible to give details at this time, but
in a general way my invention be used in
three methods.
"In the first place. it will be possible to send
an explosive body through the air-an aerial tor
pedo flying many times faster than an aeroplane-
and to direct this projectile to the spot desired
where it can be exploded by wireless 1t will be
possibIe to guide the projectile by wireless after
it has passed beyond the range of the eye, and the
aim is so accurate that it is possible to reduce
the error to a few feet in a thousand miles
I'm the second place, it will be practicable with
= this apparatus to produce effects at distance
which will interfere with the enemy and tend to
make him ineffective
I'm the third place, it promises to be able to
produce at distance such effects of electrical
tension as will jeopardize life and property.
The inventor declined to go into specific details,
saving that 1t is safer to be specific after the
fact But one would gather from the words he
did speak that he has contrived torpedo of the
air flying under its power as a torpedo swims
in the water which can be steered by wireless
and exploded by the same force. Such pro1ectile

Editor Capital
The withdrawal of his resignation as
rector of old St Anne's by DR. McCo-
mas at the request of the Vestry is a
matter for deep thankfulness ON the
part of the parishioners The spirit of
mutual consideration exhibited, and the
recognition of the sincerity of the mo-
tiyes of all concerned by the respective
parties to the discussion, all speak well
for the broadness of mind and practi-
cal Christianity of the Rector, Vestry,
Wardens and members of st. Anne's
Parish clear understanding Of the
position occupied by the principal fig
ures in the drama upon which the cur
tain has so happily fallen has had the
effect of clarifying the atmosphere, dis
polling any clouds of misunderstood
ing and restoring mutual confidence
and fraternal feeling The result will
be a more united bond of fellowship
than ever in the congregation. RealiZ-
ing that too err is human; TO forgive
divine the members of this historic
old church will now go forward TO
career of usefulness and benefcent in
fluence never yet reached during. its
long and honored existence To those
members whose loving efforts were
largely responsible for the consumma-
ton so devoutly to be wished, the last
ing gratitude of the whole congrega-
ton is due But their richest reward
will be reaped in another sphere, far

the congregation at the announcement
that peace again reigned within the
