Nikola Tcsla , the famous electrician ,
gives In an Interview a description of his
latest Invention with which ho promises to
create as great a revolution In the electrical
world as when Gray and Bell and Brush
startled mankind with their discoveries.
Tcsla declares that ono man may control
and direct , by an application of electricity ,
the movements of any type of vessel , bal
loon or land vehicle , at any distance that
may bo desired. From a station on shore ,
or from the deck of a vessel under way , a
torpedo boat equipped with Mr. Tcsla's
controlling device , may bo propelled either
on or below the surface , maneuvered at will
In any direction and finally brought Into
contact and exploded against the side of a
hostile vessel at any point within the range
of the vision of the operator. More than
this , amumlng that It were possible to ac
curately locate the position of the vessel
which It Is desired to destroy , the torpedo
boat could be directed to It , even If the
ship lay In the harbor of Southampton and
the operator was stationed at Sandy Hook.
"Hitherto , " said Mr. Tcsla , "the only
means of controlling the movements of a
vessel from a distance have been supplied
through the medium of a flexible conductot
Bucb as nn electric cable , but this system
& Is subject to obvious limitations such as are
v Imposed by the length , weight and strength
of the conductor which con be practically
used : by the difficulty of } iiintatnlng , with
safety , the high speed of 'the vessel or
changing the direction of Its movements
with 'rapidity ; the necessity of effecting the
control from n point which Is practically
- flxed , and from many other drawbacks
which are Inseparably connected with such
a system.
"Tho plan -hlch I have perfected Involves
none of these objections , for I am enabled
by the nso of my Invention to employ any
means of propulsion , to Impart to the mov
ing body or veasel the highest possible
peed , to control the operation of Its ma
chinery and to direct Its movements from
either a fixed point or from a body moving
nnd changing Its direction , however rapidly ,
and to maintain this control over great ( Us.
tanccs without any artificial connections be
tween the vessel and the apparatus govern *
Ing Its movements , nnd without such restric
tions as these must necessarily Impose.
Tin ArtlflclitS Connection.
"In a broad dense , then , my Invention
differs from all of those systems which pro
vide for the control of the mechanism car
ried by a moving object and governing Its
' motion , In that I require no Intermediate
wires , cables or other form of electrical
or mechanical connections with the object
nave the natural media 1n space. I accom
plish , nevertheless , similar results and In
a much more practical manner by producing
waves , Impulses or radiations which are re
ceived through the earth , water or atmps-
phero by suitable apparatus on the moving
body and cause the desired actions , so long
ns the body remains within the active region
or effective range of such currents , waves ,
Impulses or radiations.
"Having explained to you some of the pos
sibilities of the device , I.will - now glvo you
a practical example cf the workings of tlu
model b'eforo going Into a detailed descrip
tion of how I am able to produce these re
sults. "
Elevated on stocks on a table In the centei
of the laboratory sto-d a model of a screw
propelled craft about four feet long ani
somewhat disproportionately wide and deep
Mr. Teslu explained that It was merely I
working model which ho had had mode It
order to exhibit to President McKlnley am
that no attempt bad been made to follow thi
usual sharp llncs of a torpedo boat. Thi
deck Is slightly arched and surmounted bj
three slender standards , the center one con
sldcrably higher than the other two , whlcl
carry small Incandescent bulbs , a third bull
being flxed at the bow. The heel consists o
n masslvo copper plate , the propeller am
rudder being In the usual positions. Mr
Tcsla explained that the boat contained th
propelling machinery , consisting of an elec
trio motor actuated by a storage battery litho
the hold , another motrr to nctunto the rud
der'nnd the delicate mechanism which per
forms the function of receiving through th
central standard the electric Impulses sen
through 'the atmosphere from the dlslnn
operating station , which set In motion th
propelling and steerage m-tors , nnd throws
them light or extinguish the electric bulb
nnd flre the exploding charge In a chambe
In the bow In response to signals sent b
the operator.
The Model Obey * Him.
"Now watch. " said the Inventor , and goln
to a table on the other side of the room o
which lay a llttlo swltchbox about five Inch *
square , > ho gave the lover a sharp turn. In
stantly the llttlo bronze propeller began t
revolve at a furious rate. "Now , 1 will sen
the boat to starboard , " he said , and anotht
quick movement of the lever sent the hell
sharp over , and another movement turne
It as rapidly back ngaln , At another slgm
the screw stopped nnd reversed.
"During the day , " continued Mr. Teal
his hand still on the lever , "wo ahou
steer our course by keeping tha two stan <
jirda In line , but at night we should dcpei
on the electric lights , which would , i
course , be screened so as not to bo risible
to the enemy , " and at a signal both the
tiny bulbs were Illuminated.
"Now wo will assume that the boat has
arrived within striking distance of the ves
sel to be destroyed , and the bulb In the bow
will servo to show "that the explosion has
taken place. "
Aa he spoke he touched the lever again
and the light flatbed and was extinguished.
"Imagine. If you can , " said Mr. Tesla , as
ho went back to his desk , "what nn Irre
sistible Instrument of destruction wo have
In a torpedo boat thus controlled , which
we can operate day or night , on the surface
or below It , and 'from any dlttanco that
may bo deolred. A ship thus assailed would
have no possibility of escape.
"I cantapply this system of control to any
'
type of 'vessel and of any size. It Is not
even neceraary to make a close approach
to the vessel to be destroyed. At the dis
tance of 100 feet the explosion of 200 pounds
of dynamite will exert a shattering cflcrt
on a battleship , but there Is no reason why
wo should not load a vessel with 200 or 300
tons , or oven more , of dynamite , which ,
exploded even a mile or so away , would
raise a wave that would overwhelm the
biggest ship ever built. "
Continuing bin description , Mr. Tesla
paid : "As to that part of my- Invention
which Involves the production of sultabro
waves or radiations nnd the conveying of
the same to a remote receiving apparatus
capable of being operated or controlled by
their Influence , It may be carried out In
various ways which are at the present tlmo
more or lesj understood. For example , I
r-y pass through a conducting bath ,
preferably Inclosing a large area , n rapidly
varying current and , by electro-magnetic
Induction of tha same , effect a circuit car
ried by a moving body.
niHtnnce No Barrier.
"In this case the action at a given dis
tance will be the stronger the larger the
area Inclosed by the conductor and the
greater the rnto of ehango of the current.
It the fatter were genrated In the ordinary
way the rate of change , imd consequently
the distance at which the action would bo
practically available for the present pur
pose , would bo very small , but by adopting
such means as I have devised that Is ,
either by passing through the conducting
path currents of a specially designed high
frequency alternator or , better still , at
those of a strongly charged condcser a
very high rate of change may bo obtained
and the effective range of the Influence
thus extended over a vast area. By care-
fulry adjusting the circuit on thu moving
body so as to be In exa-it electro-magnetic
sychronlsm with the primary disturbances
this Influence may bo utilized at a great
distance.
"Another way to carry out my Invention
Is to direct the currents or discharges of
a high frequency machine or condenser
through a circuit one terminal of which IF
connected directly or Inactively with the
ground and the other with a body , prefera
bly of large surface and at an elevation. In
thU case , It the circuit on the moving bojy
be similarly arranged or connected , differ
ences of potential on the terminals of the
circuit , either by conduction or electrostatic
Induction , are produced and the same object
Is attained.
"Still another way Is to pass the cur
rents simply through the ground by con
necting both the terminals of the source of
high frequency cunents to earth at differ
ent and remote points , and to utlMze the
currents spicadlng through the ground for
affecting the receiving circuit properly
placed and adjuatcd.
"Flnal.y , I may avail myself , In carrying
out my Invention , of electrical oscillations
which do not follow any particular con
ducting path , but propagate In straight
lines through space of rays , waves , pulses
pr disturbances of any kind , capable of
bringing the mechanlnri of the moving body
Into action from a distance and at the will
of the operator by their effect upon eulta-
bre controlling devices. "
Fire Alarm that Talk * .
The human voice , th ? telephone and the
graphophone are combined In a unique au
tomatic flre alarm which Chief Hale cf the
(
Kansas City fire department has Invented
ml rn which he-has applied for a patent.
By the use of the new fire alarm the e > act
place of any flre In a building provided will
the system Is told In the clear , distinct tenet
of the human volco to the central office ol
the telephone company and that too when
no person Is near the scene of the flre.
The secret Is the combination of the
graphophone , the simple mechanical Instru
ment vrhlch takes sound from a cylinder ol
wax , and the telephone. Chief Halo tested
hU Invention Sunday afternoon at fire de
partment headquarters , reports the ICanaii
City Star. A telephone was placed at one
end of the hall to represent the centra
office. At another "was a scries of wires am
thermostats , which would toe used whcrovei
the system Is applied , and near by stood tbi
apparatus which sends the alarm of fin
over the telephone. A lighted cigar was licit
near the copper wire which was a part of thi
wiring system.
The expansion of the wire , caused by thi
heat , manipulated a tiny lever , breaking th
electric circuit ; and , by the use of a magnet
the graphophone was set In motion , talktni
Into a transmitter and repeating the word
that had been Impressed on Its wax cylinder
At the same time the transmitter was au
tomatlcally connected with the tclcphon
representing the central office and at tha
telcph-no thcso words were distinctly hoard
I "Fire on the main floor of Jones Bros
r dry goods store. Sixth nnd Main streets. "
i This was repeated over and over agalr
1 When an alarm Is turned Into the centre
1 telephone office a connection Is quick !
made with the flre department. It Is Chic
Halc's Idea that the name and place of th
building where this alarm system Is use
shall bo repeated to the graphcphono an
sent by It when a flro occurs to "Central.
"The merits of the Invention are that I
S *
If ! 1
will turn In an alarm of fire without delay
and that when the alarm Is given the situa
tion of the flro Is told distinctly , and not
In the breathless manner of ono who sees
the flames and rushes to a telephone. By
an automatic arrangement ono gr.iphophouo
may bo used by n building with any num
ber of floors , for tbcro may bo several re
producers on ono cylinder of a graphophono
and each reproducer would give the alarm
for the particular floor with which It was
connected.
"It would cost about $300 to equip an
ordinary business building with this alarm , "
said Chief Hale. "Tho eamo device might
be used as a flro alarm or burglar afarm In
a private house. The attic , for Instance ,
might be wired and the graphophone bo set
at the head of the bed. At the Might be
ginning of a blaze In the attic the grapho
phone might begin to shout :
" ' there's flre In the
'Wake up , papa , a
nttlcl Wake up , pupa , there's a flro In the
attic ! ' and so on until papa should awake
and learn at once what the trouble was. A
houpo might bo wired so that the opening
of a door or window would start the voice
at the bedside shouting 'Burglars ! ' "
Chief Hale says that he began five years
ago to work on hla Invention. '
Clcctrlc llnlloon Klprnnl * .
In splto of the failure of the balloou for
signaling for military purposes before San
tiago , there are many purposes , as shown by
Rrlc Bruce , In which It la destined to be of
special service. Prominent among these Is
the exploration of unfamiliar regions. Ono
of the most distressing deprivations was the
want of some bond cf communication be
tween the drifting ship and a party leaving
the vessel for only short excursions. The
researches of the expedition could have been
rendered Inflrltcly more thorough and ef
fective by the. use of the electric balloon
signaling adopted by the British , Belgian and
Italian governments. Signaling with a flag
or lantern from the car of nn ordinary cap
tive balloon , worked from the deck of a ship ,
U possible , but this necessitates a large bal
loon with many cumbersome accessories ,
the uoo of which would be Impracticable
under such conditions. In electric balloon
signaling tbo slqnafjr and most of the ap
paratus remains on the ground or the deck
of a ship. The abolition of the weight of the
car , signaler and apparatus enables a mod
erately sized balloon to be employed. H Is
made of translucent material and fllled with
jydrogen or coal gas. It contains several
ncandesccnt electric lamps In metallic cir
cuit , with a source of electricity below ,
where there Is an apparatus for making and
breaking contact rapidly. By varying the
duration of the flashes of light In the baleen -
eon the Morse code can be signaled. The
speed of slgncllng depends entirely upon
the thickness of the carbon Qlamenis In the
balloon used Is
amps. The smallest-sized
about eovcn feet In diameter , having a cubic
capacity of 150 feet. This can be fllled with
one tube of gas. The electric cable Is light
and flexible , being made of strands of cop
per , both leads of which are Inclosed In
waterproofed outer Insulation. The dynamo
from which the lamps are lighted can be
worked efficiently with wind or hand power ,
and that carried by nearly every ship In
those days can be applied to the purpose.
If the balloon and Us outfit should be car
ried from the ship by an excursion party ,
light and portable storage batteries can be
used. The gas for filling the balloon can be
compressed Into steel cyllndersu or a porta
ble apparatus can bo employed for making
the hydrogen on the spot. An electric bal
loon ascending from the deck of an explor
ing vessel will not oqly act as a beacon
guide to exploring parties , but will flash
signals relating to the drift of the ship or
any other desirable communication. It Is
eald that If the Fram had had an electric
balloon afloat It would probably have been
seen by Nansen when ho was returning
from his , Journey north and thus 3 long nd
perilous expedition'mlghl have been saved ,
Mr. Bruce claims that , given a sufficient al
titude and a clear atmosphere and high
candle power , the flashes of the balloon can
be seen through a telescope some eighty 01
even 100 miles.

ho officers of the Department of the Mis

of these corridors and the rooms on either
sldo will be- divided Into offices. The lloors

the corridors will bo of marble. In the
north end of the building there will be an
elevator running from the first to the upper

carded and a now ono Installed.
On the floors above the first little will be
done , asldo from changing some partitions
n order to rearrange tbo rooms. The large

condition , as such a room Is required In
which to hold the courts-martial and other

tween $35,000 and $40,000 to make the neces
sary changes In the old government buildIng -

be the expense of now furniture throughout ,
which will be nearly as much more.
