Tesla's New Electrical Marvel
'' KNOCKED PROPS'' FROM UNDER RELATIVITY
(By Telegraph-Press Assn.--Copyright) Received Thursday, 9.50 p.m. NEW YORK, July 10. Nikola Tesla, the holder of 700 basic patents, celebrated his 79th. birthday by revealing the seemingly incredible advances he is making in the field of electrophysics. He said he had completed studies which "knocked the props" from under the relativity theory. He had measured the velocities of the cosmic ray from the giant star Antares and found it 50 times greater than the speed of light, which the relativity proponents contend is the maximum in the physicial universe. Tesla described two electrical inventions. One is an apparatus by which mechanical energy can be transmitted to any part of the terrestrial globe. He said it had ' many practi I a: plications as providing new and unfailing means of communication and a safe means of guiding ships at sea. The other invention he described as a new method and apparatus for producing direct current without a commutator whereby aeroplanes and even lorries and railways could be operated by electric power from a disconnected station. )
