THE WIRELESS TELEGRAPH.

Already He Has Sent and Received Sig-
nals at a Distance-of Twenty MIiles.
Instantaneous Communication \Vitli
All Parts of the Earth Possible.

New York. June 7.—At last Nikola
Tesla has reached a point in his inves-
tigation of the possibility of telegraph-
ing without‘wires to make a positive
announcement of his achievements. It
has been' one of his dreams for‘years.
Herhas worked at the problem long and
anxiously, but his talk has always been
guarded and indefinite. He spoke of the
possibility that the thing might be
done, and once, a few months ago, he
went so far as to call it a probability.
He was more positive and sanguine
then than ever before. but still he was
not ready to talk of achievements. But
at last the work' has reached a stage
where the modest attitude of uncer-
tainty and hope gives way to positive-
ness and assurance, and the definite
announcement of success is made.

Mr. Tesla declares that he has pro-

duced electrical devices with which he

can actually send and 'receive mes-
sages by a system which can be so ap-
plied as to make it possible for an op-
erator in New York to communicate
with the people of any part of the earth
and perhaps even with those of the
stars, if any of these are inhabited. .

“The machines which I have com-
pleted,” said Mr. Tesla, “will. carry mes-
sages through the earth for a distance
of 20 miles or so. I have sent and re-
ceived signals with them, and I feel
confident that I am not mistaken in
saying that the problem, upon which I
have spent many days and nights, is
solved. Of course it is possible that I
am mistaken. I have made mistakes
before, but not many. I shall at once
make machines which I expect will en—
able me to telegraph to any part of the
earth as readily as I Can within 3. lim-
ited distance by means of the ones I
have.

“If I have a machine that will throw
a: stone from here to there," continued
Mr. Tesla, pointing'from the floor at his
feet to the door of his laboratory, “then
Iido not need to doubt that I can make
one which will throw the stone 50 miles

' if I can control the necessary power."

Mr. Tesla was not ready to explain
iii detail the devices which he uses for
telegraphing without wires, but he
talked freely about the principles which
are involved and made it clear that the
results were obtained by using some
form of his electric oscillator. recently
patented. As long ago, he said, as when
he was putting up telephone_wires in
Budapest he observed that electrical
impulses were carried long distances
without the intervention of wires,
There was a telegraph cable a mile and

a half or two miles away over whi‘ch-

messages were being sent by the Morse
code. and at times he could read these
messages through the telephone; This
set him to investigating the electrical
condition of the air. He became satis-
fied that the messages were conveyed
to the telephone wires by induction.
Telegraphing Through the Earth.

In 1890 he announced his belief that
by means of electrical impulses of an
extremely high rate, never~yet attain-
ed at that time, bright light might be
obtained from Crookes tubes, and in
1891 he made this announcement in
London.

“I believed at that time that tele-
graphing might be conducted through
the earth without wires,” he said, “but
I was afraid to say so for fear I should
be laughed at and discredited by‘the
older and abler men who were the lead-
ers in electrical science.”

It was not until 1893, when he appear-
ed before the National Electrical light-
ing association at St. Louis, that he
first declared his belief in the possibili-
ty of telegraphing over the whole earth
without wires. Then he explained the
general method which he believed would
make this possible if he could get a ma-
chine which should be able to disturb
the static electricity of the earth. In
that year he had an electrical exhibit
at the World’s fair in Chicago, and
among his visitors was Professor Helm—
holz.

"I spoke 'of my project to Professor
Helmho‘lz," Mr.’ Tesla said, “and told
him how I thought it might be accom-
plished. ‘Yes, it is possible,’ he said,
‘but it would take much power.’ I was
very much pleased with this admission
by this great master and gratified that
he did not condemn the idea, as many
of my coworkers‘ had done. I did not
tell him then that I had already solved
that part of the problem.”

The solution to which Mr. Tesla re-
ferred was brought about through the
work which he had done in developing
hiselectrical oscillator, which he was
working upon practically in connection
with the production of light from the

battery where the, current flowing from

interrupting the secondary current by
the vibrations of the commutator, and
it will twist up the muscles of the
strongest man and make him power-
less. -

Before Tesl‘a’s ti-me interruptions of
this sort had been produced only by me-
chanical means and could number only

a few hundred‘ a Second. His electrical

oscillator acts upon the principle of a
bell, where a single stroke of the ham-
mer sets the metal vibrating with a
rapidity commensurate with its bulk.
and these vibrations can be continued
indefinitely by repeated strokes of the
hammer at slow intervals. Mr. Tesla
now makes oscillators which will inter-
rupt the current millions of times in a
second.

And Remarkable Proofs that

;Can be Cured and Has Been Curecr
Right Here in 'Norwalk.

Mrs. William W. Bloom, who lives at
7 Water street, N orwalk, says: “ I have

been troubled with cataarh in my head,

and throat for some time. My whole
head was stuffed up; the passages of my
head and throat would at times become
so filled with mucous that I could not
talk, and altogether it was very annoy-
ing. I also suifered a. great deal of the
time 'with headaches. I got a bottle of
California Cataarh Cure at Plaisted’s
drug store in South N orwalk, and I
it is the grandest stuff in the world. It
has cured me of all the disagreeable
suifering I have had for so long; my
throat troubles me no more, and
haven’t had a headache for weeks. I
have recommended it to several friends
who have, used it with satisfactory re-
sults, and we all unite in saying it is a
wonderful medicine. ”

California Catarrh Cure is especially
prepared for treatment of the mucous
membrane. It allays the inflamation,
checks the disease and arrests and re-
pairs the decay of this delicate lining.

It 15 a. curative agent for colds, coughs

purely. mucous affections. Use it dur-
ing and after a cold, and you will never
have a cold “hang on,” or even reach
the catarrhal stage. When catarrh is
once firmly fixed in the nasal passages
and throat, it begins to attack the
mucous membrane of the passages lead-
1ng either to the lungs or to the stom-
ach: The result of the former course

fected, and even will check incipient
consumption. It is sold by all dealers;

B'aby' \‘v’haies on Exhibition.

New York. June 7.—There are two
baby whales in .the aquarium now.
They were caught in the gulf of St.
Lawrence. They are male and, female,
in fine condition apparently. They
came packed in seaweed in .two big
boxes. It required a derrick and 14 men
to lift them into the big pool in the
center of.the aquarium. The male is
of a cream color, 101/2 feet long. The
female is darker, a drab color, with
brown spots, and is 91%..) feet'long. They
both began to investigate" their new
quarters when put into the water, and
seemed very lively swimming about the
bottom of the pool. '

‘D‘o‘v'e'r, D'el., June 7.-—Presiden't Rich-
ardson of the First National bank, of
which VVilIiam N. Boggs, the defaulter,
Was recently teller, has authorized a
reward of $500 for Boggs’ arrest and
conviction. The experts and clerks have
discovered a further shortage, and one
of the directors said he would not be
surprised if the total reached $75,500.
His former bondsmen, among whom are
some of the best citizens of this sec—
tion, are liable for all money ,taken
prior to September last, at which time
the American Surety c0mpany of New
York became responsible.

 

Steamship Engineer Dead.

Fall River, Mass, June 7.—Chief En-
gineer Robert M. Marquis of the Fall
River line steamer City of Taunton
died at the Emergency hospital here
after a short illness from a complica-
tion of diseases, aggravated by a fall
which he received three weeks ago. He
was 64 years of age and had served the
Old Colony Steamboat company about
20' years, having been chief engineer of
all its freight boats at different times.
He leaves a widow in Cold Springs.

Murder Mystery at Albany.

Albany, June 7.—The badly decom-
posed body of a man has been fished
out of the Hudson river here. The
throat was cut and the clothing weight-
ed down with sand. Dr. J. C. Brown,
who made an autopsy, stated positively
that from the nature of the wound on
the throat the themy of suicide is out
of the question. The lungs show that
the man was dead before his body was
thrown into the water.

 

 

 

 

PROFESSOR J. M. MUNYON.

Prof. Munyon says that 90 per. cent.
of the people are miserable. on’ account
of some disease of the stomach. He
claims his Dyspepsia remedy will posi-
tively cure all forms of indigestion and
stomach trouble, such as rising of food,
distress after eating, shortness . of
breath, palpitation and all affects of the
heart caused by indigestion, wind on
tlte stomach, bad taste, offensive breath,
loss of appetite, faintness or weakness
of the stomach, headache from indiges-
tion, soreness of the stomach, coated
tongue, heartburn, shooting pains of

the- stomach, constipation, dizziness,

faintness and lack of energy, cold feet,
poor circulation and nervousness. It
tones up the system, strengthens the
nerves, t nriches the blood, and forms a
new coating in worn-out stomachs or

those that have been impaired by physio

or injurious medicines. 0
