THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

TEMPS' FOR ALL TIME.

Nikola Tesla, tlie inventor, announced that ha has practically brought to state of perfection, a "wireless elecfl.f 1 .1. 1 light" on which he has been work- . *" "or a, number of years.

I would like nothing i -rsi than to undertake to illuminate l < the harbor of New York for a distanc of, say, on© hundred miles. My pre* sent plan is to. distribute this light from a central station, which is ther ' most economical and also tha best [ method of obtaining light of. highest | quaJifcy. My lamps will last for error, tnenvi ueing nothing in them to burn ' out. "They are 1 simply glass tubes hernaafcicaliy Healed, and containing nothi ing but a rar ©tied 'gas. One advantage is thei economy of production, which is greater than in any other light so far obtained. Still another is the won- ' derful quality ci the light, which rescmbkar sunlight so closely that it cannot be distinguished from) it. It is very soothing .to the eye, being dif- ' fused. "A) great saviug will be ejected by wireless distribution. I am intending chiefly to supply isolated dwellings which cannot bo conveniently reached ' by wires or lighted in any of the ways heretofore used. In this system of distribution there is absolutely no difference whea^a the dwelling is located. ' The force of the current is the same. I "The house might be 12,000 males ' away from the plant or 12 feet, it would ba the same. The plant consists of only a little transformer, which could be easily carried in. the pocket, ' and will be sufficient to light the whole house. The current, may be conveyed to the individual lamps either by wires or all wires might be dispensed with and the lights rendered portable. : "The current used is a 'vibrating' one<, and can be< used for other purposeis. Among other things, the current can be) utilised for carrying the human voice or the telegraphic code. One plant will do all this without interference of one action with the < ther. ThU is done' by the. use of an invention which I have called the art of individuialisation. 3 "T'hisi is a method and an apparatus for making signals or messages nocinterferablei, and it is based on the use! , of ai number of vibrations in combination."
