Nikola Tesla is the last survivor Oh
that small group of extraordinary
men more responsible than any capt.
talists, economic radicals or polltlcl-
ans for the present state of things.
They, Edison, Wood, Tesla and Ellhu
Thomson-created the power age.
Less disposed to our gift in dramatic
presentation of his feats and hlmsel-
than Edison and Tesla, Thomson died
the least known of these giants. Yet
future historians may rate him as
greatest of them all
Thomson was born in England, 85
wears ago today, to parents who
brought him to this country when he
was five. PrecociouS, he was ready
at IL to enter high school. A rule
making 10 years the minimum age
for entry made it necessary for him
to loaf at home two years. TO keep
the lads idle hands out of mischief,
Thomson's father got him interested
in electricity. In a laboratory in the
Thomson attic, Elihu acquired by
himself the fundamentals of the
science he did more than any other
man TO QeV0lOD.
Among his 700 notable inventions
was the watt meter which, by measur
ing electricity in small QUANTITIES.
made the introduction of electric
lighting into homes practical Thirty
million of his meters are now in use.
His discovery of the transformer and
his meters are now in use. His dis
coverv of the transformer and his
work on dynamoes made possible and
practical the use of alternating cur
rent. He originated electric arc
welding. His greatest discovery, how
ever, he himself overlooked for many
years.
When he was o. long before Mar
conf began radio experiments and 10
years before Hertz announced the
discovery of electromagnetic waves,
Thomson demonstrated a method of
signaling without wires across large
spaces. So far as is known these
were the first experiments in the pro-
pagation of electric waves and wire
less signaling except for those of
Joseph Henry of Princeton, N. j.
The earlier Henry experiments were
not published, and were never used
except for the purpose of allowing
his wife to call him when meals were
ready.
And with all his genius, Thomson
made one gigantic blunder; he reject
ed Edison's electric lamp as imprac-
teal!

VIENNA DEADLOCK
OVERPACT GROWS
MikIas and Schuschnigg Are
at Odds Over NaZi in
Police Post.
N the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
VIENNA, Feb. 15.-The deadlock In
Austrian negotiations over appointing
Nam synpathizers. as cabinet min
listers to satisfy Germanys desires. be-
came more pronounced today.
Fatherland front leaders from nine
provinces were summoned to partici-
pate in the ministerial conference
seeking solution of differences between
President Wilhelm Miklas and Chan
cellor Kurt Won Schuschnigg over the
naming of Nazi as minister OF the
interior in charge OF police.
The controlled press in early editions
predicted such cabinet appointment
would be made. but later, obviously
m instructions. said the situation was
taking a normal course, without cause
for worry.
The controversy arose after Schu-
schniges conference last Saturday
with Chancellor Adolf Hitler at the
German leaders Berchtesgaden retreat.
Diplomatic sources said Hitler wanted
NsN-approved men as ministers of jus
tice and interior, the latter to control
security forces.
Schuschnigg Professionally accepted
this view at Berchtesgaden. but Miklas,
supported by strong clerical elements,
helked. A ma jority of the Fatherland
Front les ders upheld Miklas.
IT. appeared At one time that the
Nattonalists, DR. Seyssinquardt and
Edmund Glaise- Horstenau, who would
he acceptable to Hitler, would be
named ministers
But something approaching a serious
conflict of opinions developed when
thoroughgoing Nazis, represented as
trying to force Schuschnigg's hand,
clamored for three outright Nazi SYM
pathizers in the cabinet
1t was reported the government has
until tomorrow to express its attitude

thought to tn asiness OF measur-
ing, which may be very decidedly
overdone. One Of the greatest Of
virtues is found in the lack Of SELF
consciousness, and it Is q virtue
that 1t is not easy to acquire. Nor
can 1t exist in association with self
ishness, for the selfish man is con-
scious Of little else but self, So the
question is at bottom moral, spiritu-
al and religious. Taking the broad
er, and also the kindlier and more
tolerant view, it ought to be pos
sible for man to see that it does
not greatly matter what happens
to him, as long as he keeps his soul
clean and his honor unstained. BY
referring everything to self, and
judging everything by its effect on
self, one finds it very easy-indeed,
one can not help doing ito con-
denim the world and the general life
of man and other men as wholly
evil. The trouble is with the point OF
view, which is far too narrow and
altogether wrong. No men have
preached the truth more eloquently
and powerfully than those who
failed in the most pitiful way to
Apply it to their own lives.

Indians Not Sentimental,
But Have Sense of Humor


Although Indians as a rule are
fond Of animals, they are not senti-
mental. AS we all know, the red
man prides himself on keeping his
feelings inside" He possesses a
queer sense Of humor. Something
which would strike a white man as
very funny might be Witnessed by
the Indian with an expressionless
face, while something in the way Of
a surprise" would likely convulse
the latter with as much merriment
as he is capable Of showing.
Said a westerner, when in Da-
kota I was inspecting a barn where
some Indian boys were milking.
There were Is stables. One Of the
cows kicked over milk-pail, nearly
full of milk. The Indian boy who
was milking was covered and drip
ping with milk and froth. Most Of
the Indian boys along the line Of
stables jumped up. laughing as
hard as they were capable Of laugh
ing, gathering around him, as Il
some great joke were in progress.
'The victim, instead Of revenging
the accident on the cow, by hitting
back, lay down and rolled over with
mirth, as though the joke had been
on the COW, instead Of himself. This
was surely a fine example Of good
nature for the white man to emu
late"
