EDISON'S THIEF RIVAL
(lllrapxe-i at the Personality and Projects
of Nikola Tenia, tho New Wiiard of
IClcctrical Science.
From the Times-Herald.
Nikola Tesria is today the most Inter
esting personality in the department of
electrical investigation and engineer
ing inventiun in the world.
The tire which lately destroyed the
Teslu laboratory in New York, consum
ing all the recent devices and creations
of his ingenuity the results of years of
such laljjr as only such a man Is capa
ble of hid in it a touch of the tragic.
But. at any rate, it has directed pub
lic attention afrerh to the character and
achievements of this wonderful and
still youthful inventor.
It is natural that the world should
look with wondT on Its great Inventors.
What they do often has the appearance
of being the work of an especial "cre
ative faculty." They seem to be men
who have made rather than merely
formed something. In an age like the
present, when so much of the world's
industries depend upjn mechanical uses
of nature's forces, the inventor becomes
one of the greatest of public benefac
tors. This Is especially the case when
the savin? economics saving in time
and in other expenditures are so ne
cessary. The available supply of the
world's coal, for Instance, Is no doubt
limited. -Should this simply be prema
turely exhausted the calamity would
be beyond calculation. Kngineerlng In
vention, If It can, must devise methods
for Its most economical utilization and
expenditure.
Are these other foros of nature still
lyinsr dormant or being let run on to
waste powers that are wanted In help
ing out the tremendous tasks which the
eager workers of the world are having
In hand? There Is Niagara, with Its
seemingly almost Infinite power, run
ning to waste. Who can by searching
find out nature's secret methods and fit
the apt contrivance to the natural law
so that that and other similar wasting
forces may come Into play along with
the other working forces of this "In
dustrial ag'e?"
These are some of the questions which
nobody has studied more deeply or with
more surprising success than Nikola
Tesla.
Toils Is a Gen I lis.
But who Is this deep prler Into na
ture's mysteries, this wonder-working
magician? Where did he come from?
How came he here? And how came h
to be what he Is, to do the things which
have already made his name so fa
mous? In the first place, this Nikola Tesla,
though plainly enough a man of genius.
Is no magician, lie Is no mere vision
ary. He is no child of luck, ilila
achievements have been no neeldent.
He Is one of the most logical of men.
He haa not Jumped to conclusions. Kv
ery perceptive faculty has been alert;
but so have a'll other co-ordlnnte fac
ulties of the mind benn alive and nlert,
each faculty Instant In the doing of Its
own part toward the wanted and waited
for result.
President Jordan, of the Leland Stan
ford university, Is right in Insisting as
he does in a recent strikingly Just arti
cle In one of the educational reviews
that "genius" should he taken as the
"model In education." The man of true
genius, when he does the things at
which men wonder and admire, has no
lazy fibre In his brain. All the facul
ties work work, at their best. And
they work at their best because they
work suitably and all together.' ,
But Nikola Tenia In America he Is
one of our "Immigrants," as Ericsson
was, as Agassis was, and some other
such people whose' names and services,
the world will not soon let die, Tesla
is now 38 years of age. He is by birth
a Slav. His 'boyhood home was In tho
borderland of Eastern Austria, where
Slav and Turk have so often struggled
(or the mastery. He was born In Hmll
Jan, In the province of Llka. His fa
ther was a, clergyman of the Oreek
church, who 'had hoped to have his son
succeed him In the sacred olllce.
Ills Education.
As for his education, he spent four
years in the public school, three years
in the real school, three years In the
higher real school at Cortstatt, and
two or three years in the polytechnic
school In Grata, Austria.
'By this time young Tesla had become
so absorbed In his electrical . studies,
experiments and scientific Ideas, that
he saw, as he expressed It, felt that he
must "get Into the gulf stream of elec
trical thought." Accordingly, break
ing away from all ties and traditions
of the past, in 1841, he came to Paris,
presently obtaining employment as an
electrical engineer. It was not long,
however, before It became plain to him
that America was the place for him.
Associated for a time with Edison,-In
whose shop he took iff hhr coat the day
he landed In America, he threw him
self into the mid-stream of the then
extraordinary Intensity of electrical in
vestigation and Invention. .
In 1X87 the Tesla. Electric company, of
New York, having been formed, he de
vised and brought Into use the epoch
marking motor for multiphase alternat
ing currents, thus dispensing both with
commutator and brushes.
Tedla was engaged about this time
con tempera neously with Professor Fer
raris, an independent inventor. In per
fecting the demonstration of the enor
mously Important principle of the ro
tary field motor a new system of
electric distribution and transmission,
of power by means of alternating cur
rents. The various Tesla patents having been
acquired by the Westlnghouse Klectrtc
company, they began at once to be put
to uses in many ways, to the inestima
ble advantage of the world's growing
mechanical industries. In the year 18t0.
Mr. Tesla, severing his connection with
the Westlnghouse company, devoted
himself to the study of alternating cur
rents of hitch frequencies and very
high potencies. His lecture on "Expe
riments With Alternating Currents,"
delivered before the American Insti
tute of Electrical Engineers, and short
ly after repeated before similar bodies
in London and In Paris, and elsewhere
In the summer of 1K91, marked a fresh
era In the evolution of 'electrical ap
plied science.
Am Important Invention.
At the present time Testa Is devoting
himself to the working out of another
great Invention, but this time in the de
partment of mechanical engineering,
known us the oscillator, from which Im
mensely important results are antici
pated. If successful, this new mechan
ical contrivance is a combination of
the steam engine and the dynamo, by
which. It Is said, an engine of a given
power can be made about one-fortieth
the weight of the ordinary engine of the
same power. In the oscillator tho plH
ton travels Its path to and frit 100 times
a second, or oftener, if required. In
one form of the oscillator two pistons
are used that go out mid In the opposite
ends of the cylinder at the same time,
thus balancing their motion and re
lieving the apparatus from the rapid
shock of vibration.
Just how revolutionary this new step
In both steam and electrical engineer
ing is destined to be Is not yet wholly
certain. But In view of what Is al
ready as good as certain that electric
ity Is destined, and that before long,
to take the place chiefly of steam In
railway and other traction. In the opin
ion of the most competent to Judge, Its
Importance can hardly be overstated.
The problem, the worst to be met, has
been to devise the best type of engine
for driving the simplest and most eco
nomical form of dynamo. Of course,
until the problem has been completely
worked out there remain some things
About It which the wary Inventor
"keeps to himself and scarcely tells to
any."
His Experiments with Light.
Some of Sir. Tesla's most brilliant
experiments of startling beauty have
hud to do with phenomena of light and
heat as produced by electrostatic forces
acting between charged molecules or
atoms. As described by 'Mr. Slarten,
perfecting a generator that would give
him currents of several thousand alter
nations per second, and inventing his
disruptive coll, he has created electro
static conditions that 'have already
modltlt'd many accepted notions about
electricity. For one thing, It has been
supposed that one or two thousand
volts' potential would surely kill, but
Sir. Tesla has been seen receiving
through his hands currents of a po
tential of more than 200,000 volts, vi
brating 1.000,000 times a second, and
manifesting themselves In dazzling
streams of light. An actual flame In
this way produced by Intense white
ness that does not consume anything,
"bursting from the ends of an Induc
tion coil as though It were a bush on
holy ground," with such vibrations as
can be maintained by a potential of
3,000.000 volts. Sir. Tesla expects some
day to clothe hlmseH in a robe of lam
bent fire that will be altogether harm
less. Indeed, such currents as he now
uses, he says, would keep a naked man
warm at the north pole: and as for the
possible curative uses of such currents,
who can s.ay, or gainsay In electrical
science and engineering during the past
ten or twelve years?
Another of the ideas which Tesla Is
working out Is that of the transmission
of Intelligence, and perhaps of power,
across wide spaces without the use of
any connecting wire. This, of course.
Is not any experiment of trying to "do
something by means of nothing." It
is entirely sclentillo: 1t Is an effort to
utilize the earth Itself as an electric
conductor. It Is an attempt to get at
the law of those earth currents of
electrical force In a way to devise
some mthod of getting the mastery of
them, and of bringing parallel currents,
though widely separated In space. Into
"resonating" relations with each other,
the one electric current being turned
to the other.
To Do Away with Wires.
As Sir. Tesla himself has said: "In
connection with the resonance effects
and the problem of transmission of
energy over a single conductor. I would
say a few words on a problem which
constantly fills my thoughts, and which
concerns the welfare of all. I mean the
transmission of Intelligible signals, or,
perhaps, even power, to any distance
without the use of wlrps. I am dally
becoming more and more convinced of
the practicability of the scheme; and
though I know full well that the major
ity of scientific men will not believe
that such results can be practically
and Immediately realized, yet I think
that all consider the developments of
recent years by a number of workers to
have been such as to encourage thought
and experiment In this direction. Sty
conviction has grown so strong that I
no longer look upon this plan of en
ergy or Intelligence transmission as
a mere theoretical possibility, but as a
serious problem In eleetrlijal engineer
ing which must becsrrled out some day.
The Idea of transmitting Intelligence
without wire Is tho natural outcome of
the most recent results of electrical In
vestigations." Some enthusiasts, he
says, have expressed the belief that
telephoning to any distance by Induc
tion through air Is possible; for him
self, he cannot stretch his Imagination
so far, but he declares his Arm belief
that It is practicable to disturb by
means of powerful machines the elec
trostatic, condition of the earth, and
thus transmit Intelligible signals, nml
perhaps power. We need not be fright
ened, he says, by the Idea of distance.
To the weary wanderer counting the
mile posts the earth may appear very
large; to the astronomer It appears
very small.' So, Tesla thinks. It may
seem to the electrician. The "big
earth," as we call It, contains a certain
capacity of electricity; let the electri
cians of the world find out how to meas
ure that capacity, and then, reasoning
solidly from one point to another, find
out how to convert the "art and mys
tery" Into the art and mastery of It,
for the world's everyday uses.
Nikola Tesla is a man of a most In
teresting personality. Through his In
ventions he has begun to do the work
of millions of workmen, so helping on
Immensely the possible achievements
of the great world's Industries In order
to the growing comfort and happiness
of mankind. This man, of whom Amor
Is now so proud. Is not without honor
In the region of his birth. The Order of
the Eagle has Just been conferred upon
him by the prince of Montenegro, as
previously the Order of fit. Sava had
been given him by the king of Bervla.
MING'S kInoIrTHUR.
The New Play of the Orsfct English Actor
Reviewed by an Accomplished crltle-It
Will he Sesn In This Country This
Coming Season. 1 . , '
From Barron's London Letter.
When Sir Henry Irving shall begin
his season In the United Btatet In the
fall one play of his repertory will be
the Arthurian romance by J. Comyns
Carr which had its oiiblnal produc
tion st the Lyceum theater In January
of this year. "King Arthur" la a nobly
written drams in a prologue and (our
acta, the mood of which Is sombre, the
tone heavy, the action limited, but the
Influence of which la atrangely allur
ing and fascinating, as the play Is done
on the Lyceum stage. .Though the av
erage auditor may complain that the
melancholy atmosphere of the drama
is deepened by tedious movement and
extreme length, the play has been most
popular with Sir Henry's great follow
ing. th patronage filling the theater at
every performance. It were difficult
to define the charm of the' play, for
charm there certainly Is. There Is a
weird mysticism about It all that com
port' with the legendary character of
the story, and In the scenic work the
artists of the theater have succeeded
marveloUHly well In preserving the mys
terious suggestlveness of the half-supernatural.
Much is gained, too, from
the costumes and color schemes de
signed by Hume-Jones, the pre-Ra-phaelite
robes and draperies, the soft
tones and neutral tints, with here and
there a florid or vivid emphasis, seem
ing to tit well with that dim. tdi-idowy
epoch of wonder and enchantment fa
miliar to most of us through Tenny
son's Idyls, though it was not from
these, but the older source, that Co
myns Carr drew his inspiration.
While every scene is beautiful, but
one of the six throws off the religious
dimness of effect which Is one of the
barely comprehended spells put upon
us by the representation. This excep
tion la the bright, flower-gladder -d
vision of the Whitethorn Wood, into
which the not yet errant queen comes
a-Slaying, preceded down the winding,
bosky path by the white-robed maidens
who are so radiant a part of her suite.
Fitly enough In this scene occurs the
only line of comedy In the play, the
one opportunity fur pert emotion to re
lieve itself with a laugh. And it is a
simple bit, too. Dagonet, introduced
ns the queen's fool, and as a young
man, runs into the glade from the
right slope, and, trembling In mock
fear. Implores the ladles to save him,
for he is sore pressed. Clulnevere nskn:
"What, hath some beast pusucd thee?"
and he, looking over his shoulder as he
crouches, answers, as If still apprehen
sive: "Aye, trulh a most sweet beast,
yet fearsome, too." Whereupon one of
the ladles, the dark Clarlssant (admir
ably pictured by Miss Allsa Oralg, Kl
len Terry's daughter) thinks it well that
the knights be called to the protection
of the ladles: but Guinevere shames
their fears and demands of Dagonet to
describe what manner of beast It was
affrighted him. "What form hath It?"
And Dagonet, with great solemnity, re
sponded: "Well, to be plain, yet modest
withal, and not too curious, It Is In all
things shaped like a woman," following
which there Is laughter and Dagonet
runs on mirthfully to Inform the com
pany that "a maid who had tended a
herd of swine" had flung a garland
about his neck and sworn "a most vil
lainous oath that she loved me well."
This llttlu episode Is quickly over and
the play returned to Its serious mood,
deepening rapidly Into pathos and tho
gulf of Hooding tragedy. It need not
be pretended that the author has risen
to that beautiful plane of sentiment
and passion and poetry that has given
Imperishable worth to the Idyls of the
King, nor that we do not lose much of
the deep companionate quality that lies
between the queen's sin and that soul
awakening when her thought Is Ar
thur's, "nor Launcelot's nor anoth
er's;" nor that we miss nothing of the
holy grief which should attend the no
ble Passing of Arthur: but the work
has been well done by the poet-dramatist,
and what he has omitted from his
llnea the art of the theater has sup
plied to Intensify Interest In the play.
A reasonable objection, from the
standpoint of poetic adequacy, mav be
urged against the final scene. In which
Arthur (come as the queen's companion
against the tyranny of iMordred, who
sits the throne In the belief of the
king's death) is slain In the great hall
of Camelot by a sword thrust In a feeble
combat with ISIordred. You feel that
the catastrophe is not equal to the co
gency of events nor to the sublimity
of that "true lord of all" whose soul
should pass from the bruit of horrid
battle, not from the chamber clash of
duelling swords.
Irving Is somewhat far from the
shores of youth to satisfy one's Ideal or
Pendragon's son, the goodliest knight
of all the world, and he is scarcely at
pains In his makeup to hide the Imprint
of past maturity; but the spiritual and
essential quality of his Interpretation
Is of that rare sweetness and excellence
which made his Charles I. so persua
sive and charming and potential. die
would greatly enhance his present ef
fectiveness would he wear with ample
locks of blond hair a full and flowing
"virgin" beard, instead of showing
barefaced at Camelot.
Sliss Terry has been seldom better
suited to a part than she Is to Ouin
evere, though the role Is not, Justly
speaking, equal either to her artistic or
her dramatic dimensions. But Guin
evere Is distinctly In her vein, notwith
standing she is remembered as the
Beatrice par excellence and has within
her wit a vcrlta'ble sprite of comedy.
The strictly critical may have much to
say In disparagement of "King Ar
thur," bin 1 do not hesitate to commend
it heartily to lovers of the poetic drama
ns one of the nost Interesting of the
Lyceum producing, all points belni;
taken Into account.

(ACTION
TO OUR patrons:
Wushburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their marry Mt
rons that they will thin year hold to their usual custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
In fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers are
of the opinion that It ft already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Cronby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling ha
S laced WHahburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
rands.
