Jffriday October 22 1915 WIRELESS VISION SEEN BY TESLA Thinks "World System" Will Allow Many to Talk at Once. ENDS STATIC DISTURBANCE Inventor Also Hopes to Transmit Pic- tures by Same Medium Which Car- ries the Voice—Declares It Will Be Possible to Hold Secret Conversation Too. New York.—Nikola Tesla announced that he had received n patent on an In- vention which would not only elimi- nate static interference, the present bugaboo of wireless telephony, but would enable thousands of persons to talk at once between wireless stations and make it i>ossible for those talking to see one another by wireless, regard- less of the distance separating them. He said also that with his wireless sta- '' don now In the process (if construction on I.nng Island be hoped to make New York one of the central exchanges in a world system of wireless telephony. The inventor, who hns won fame by his electrical inventions, dictated this statement: "The experts carrying out this bril- liant experiment are naturally deserv- ing of sneat credit for the skill they NIKOLA TESLA. have shown in perfecting the devices. These are of two kinds—first, those serving to control transmission, and second, those magnifying the received iui'uilse. That the control of transmis- sion Is perfect is plain to experts from the fact that the Arlington. Mare bland and Tear] Harbor plants are all inef- fective and that the distance of tele- phonic communication is equal to that of telegraphic transmission. It is also perfectly apparent that the chief merit of the application lies in the magnifica- tion of the mlcrophonlc Impulse. It must not be imagined that we deal here with new discoveries. The im- provement simply concerns the control of the transmitted and the magnifica- tion of the received impulse, but the •wireless system is the same. This can never be changed. "It is claimed that static disturbance will fatally interfere with the trans- mission, while as a matter of fact there is no static disturbance possible in properly designed transmission and re- ceiving circuits. Quite recently I have described in a patent circuits which are absolutely Immune to static and other interferences, so much so that when a telephone is attached there is absolute silence, even lightning in the immediate vicinity not producing a click of the diaphragm, while in the ordinary tele- phonic conversation there are all kinds of noises. "Another contention is that there can be no secrecy In wireless telephone con- versation. 1 say it is absurd to raise this contention, when it is positively demonstrated by experiments that the earth is more suitable for transmission than any wire could ever be. A wire- less telephone conversation can be made as secret as a thought. "I have myself erected a plant for the purpose of connecting by wireless telephone the chief centers of the world, and from this plant as many as a hundred will be able to talk absolute- ly without interference and with abso- lute secrecy. The plant would simply be connected with the telephone cen- tral exchange in New York city, and any subscriber will be able to talk to any other telephone subscriber in the world, and all this without any change in his apparatus. This plan has been called my -world system.' By the same means i'propose also to transmit pic- tures and project images, so that the subscriber will not only hoar the voice, but see the i*rson to whom be Is talk- ing. Pictures transmitted over wires is a perfectly simple art practiced today. Many inventors have labored on it, but the chief credit is due to Professor Korn of Munich." $2,000 Await» Lost Cat.

Mo.—That mudholes in the road are carefully nurtured in many communities in Missouri by per- sons who find it profitable to pull auto- mobiles out of them when they get stuck is charged by State Highway Commissioner Buffum in a road bul- letin. The issuance of this bulletin follow- ed the action of a Callaway county farmer, who refused to pull the auto- mobile of Xrs James Houchin out of a creek bed until she gave him $25. THIRTEEN EXPLAINS DEFEAT! Unlucky Number Was Also Aided by California, I'a. T. J. Underwood, comptroller of Washington county, ascribes to "thirteens 1" his defeat as candidate for sheriff at the primaries. Jn the first place his name. Tom J. Umlerwood. contains thirteen letters. The license number of his yellow cam- paign car was 113. On Friday, Aug. 13, while riding in his car with an- other candidate now numbered among the also rans, he ran over and killed a black cat The number of signers on Mr. Underwood's petition was 113. CAN RUN TRUCK FARM AND YET USE NO LAND Says He Found Way to Grow Plants on Chemical Diet. Cleveland, O.—J. A. Smith, manager of a drug store here, claims to have growing in his greenhouse healthy sweet corn planted in absorbent cotton which has been treated only with tht proper chemical food the corn requires, In another greenhouse, he declares, he has tomatoes thriving in washed lake sand. Mr. Smith lias worked on his discov- ery for seven years. lie believes he has learned just what food each plant requires and in Just what proportions to feed it nitrogen, potash and the other necessary chemicals. He claims to have a diet formula for almost every known plant and vegetable. Having made an analysis of the soil, he introduces the chemicals in which that soil is weak for the production of a given plant. Any bind of soil will do Even cinders will suffice. The only use for the soil in Mr. Smith's process is to support the plant stalk just as a trellis supports the grapes or sweet peas. This is Why, Mr. Smith contends, It is possible to grow plants in absorbent cotton. He merely saturates the cot- ton with a solution of the natural food for the plant it is intended to grow. Mr Smith is negotiating with men who, he declares, are planning to com- mercialize his discovery. He would es- tablish service stations in Cleveland and other cities. Does your lawn refuse to become green in I soil of hard day? Send for Mr. Smith and let him put the grass on a diet Do you own a greenhouse, and Is it expensive to haul fertile soil from a distance? Send for Mr. Smith. He'll show you how to raise carnations in lake sand. "It's easy," he says, with a smile, "when you know the food carna tions need." TAKES SECRET TO GRAVE. Before Dying Would Be Inventor of Minneapolis Destroyed All Charts or Mechanical Contrivances He Hud Made In Search For Perpetual Mo- tion Machine. Minneapolis. Minn.—When John La- .ley, uiuet.v-three years old, was laid to lest in Crystal I.uke cemetery n sev- enty year quest for the secret of "per- petual motion" came to a fruitless end. So close Ukl lie think himself to the secret at times that he trembled with expectancy. For seventy years, despite his disappointments, his mint] aflame with ambition. Laney worked, think- ing, experimenting. Meanwhile this man, a Scotchman by birth and B stonemason by trade, whose only relaxation was reading the works of Bacon, Shakespeare, Coleridge and Wordsworth, smashed and destroyed contrivance after contrivance when it failed. Then with intensified energy he concentrated on a new idea. "It almost worked." These three words tell the life story of a man gifted in some ways beyond his fellow men. John Lauey wanted his name to go down In history, but al- ways when he fancied he was at the very edge of accomplishment it was only to find the something missing In a contrivance that "almost worked." "When I was just a little girl father used to have the kitchen table cleared for him when supper was over," said Mrs. Lizzie Welton, at whose home the aged man spent his last days. "He had a groove in the table and a round stone ball that he made himself. Ha would roll this round and round, and often mother would have to get up late at night and beg him to stop and rest Upsets Telephone In Rampage and Cen- tral Does the Rest. Danville, 111. - A dog afflicted with rabies indirectly called the police de- partment and thus brought about its own destruction. Before it was killed it overturned much of the furniture at the home of Louis Smith, its owner. an 1 badly scared the servant. In its rampage it upset a desk on which the telephone rested and as the receiver fell from the hook central asked for the number. The operator heard the howling of the dog and, be- lieving that something was wrong, called the police department.

He loved the poets, and he wrote several songs, one for the St. George guards of St. George, New Brunswick, where we once lived. He was a sculptor also." Outside the steps of the cosy cot- tage where Mrs. Welton lives are two lilc.es of granite. One has on it fig- ures of Hiawatha and Mlnnehaha; the other has on it a bear and two cubs. Inside the house, highly treasured, is a Chain five feet long, with many links otid an anchor at the end, that was cut out with a jackknife from a solid piece of wood. Many small mementoes re- main. But before he died John Laney de- stroyed all charts or mechanical con- trivances be had made in his search for perpetual motion. One day he said to his daughter: "Perpetual motion will yet be found. There is no doubt of it. When it Is found the world will be astonished not alone by the stupendous ebangei that it will bring in all industrial life, but by the simplicity of it Millions will wonder why no one ever thought of It before." "I am an old man," he would often say. "I saw the eomiujr of the rail- roads, the telegraph, the automobile and the more wonderful things of later years. 1 predicted back in 1850 that tbe world would one day see the horseless wagon, and It is here. Ah, If I could only just get the one little missing link!" MAD DOG CALLS POLICE. Jefferson City.

the chief credit is due to Professor

Says He Found Way to GrowPlants on Chemical Diet.

Cleveland, O.—J. A. Smith, managerof a drug store here, claims to havegrowing in his greenhouse healthysweet corn planted in absorbent cottonwhich has been treated only with thtproper chemical food the corn requires,In another greenhouse, he declares, hehas tomatoes thriving in washed lakesand.

Mr. Smith lias worked on his discov-ery for seven years. lie believes hehas learned just what food each plantrequires and in Just what proportionsto feed it nitrogen, potash and theother necessary chemicals. He claimsto have a diet formula for almost everyknown plant and vegetable.

Having made an analysis of the soil,

he introduces the chemicals in whichthat soil is weak for the production ofa given plant. Any bind of soil will doEven cinders will suffice. The only usefor the soil in Mr. Smith's process is tosupport the plant stalk just as a trellissupports the grapes or sweet peas.

This is Why, Mr. Smith contends, It ispossible to grow plants in absorbentcotton. He merely saturates the cot-ton with a solution of the natural foodfor the plant it is intended to grow.

Mr Smith is negotiating with menwho, he declares, are planning to com-mercialize his discovery. He would es-tablish service stations in Clevelandand other cities.

Does your lawn refuse to becomegreen in I soil of hard day? Send forMr. Smith and let him put the grass on

a diet Do you own a greenhouse, andIs it expensive to haul fertile soil froma distance? Send for Mr. Smith. He'llshow you how to raise carnations inlake sand. "It's easy," he says, with asmile, "when you know the food carna

tions need."

TAKES SECRET TO GRAVE.

Before Dying Would Be Inventor of

Minneapolis Destroyed All Charts orMechanical Contrivances He HudMade In Search For Perpetual Mo-tion Machine.

Minneapolis. Minn.—When John La-.ley, uiuet.v-three years old, was laid tolest in Crystal I.uke cemetery n sev-enty year quest for the secret of "per-petual motion" came to a fruitless end.

So close Ukl lie think himself to thesecret at times that he trembled withexpectancy. For seventy years, despitehis disappointments, his mint] aflamewith ambition. Laney worked, think-ing, experimenting.

Meanwhile this man, a Scotchman bybirth and B stonemason by trade, whoseonly relaxation was reading the worksof Bacon, Shakespeare, Coleridge andWordsworth, smashed and destroyedcontrivance after contrivance when itfailed. Then with intensified energyhe concentrated on a new idea.

"It almost worked."These three words tell the life story

of a man gifted in some ways beyondhis fellow men. John Lauey wantedhis name to go down In history, but al-ways when he fancied he was at thevery edge of accomplishment it wasonly to find the something missing In a

contrivance that "almost worked.""When I was just a little girl father

used to have the kitchen table clearedfor him when supper was over," saidMrs. Lizzie Welton, at whose homethe aged man spent his last days."He had a groove in the table and around stone ball that he made himself.Ha would roll this round and round,and often mother would have to getup late at night and beg him to stopand rest

In its rampage it upset a desk onwhich the telephone rested and as thereceiver fell from the hook centralasked for the number. The operator

heard the howling of the dog and, be-lieving that something was wrong,called the police department.

Outside the steps of the cosy cot-tage where Mrs. Welton lives are twolilc.es of granite. One has on it fig-ures of Hiawatha and Mlnnehaha; theother has on it a bear and two cubs.Inside the house, highly treasured, is a

Chain five feet long, with many linksotid an anchor at the end, that was cutout with a jackknife from a solid pieceof wood. Many small mementoes re-main.

But before he died John Laney de-stroyed all charts or mechanical con-trivances be had made in his searchfor perpetual motion. One day hesaid to his daughter:

"Perpetual motion will yet be found.There is no doubt of it. When it Isfound the world will be astonished notalone by the stupendous ebangei thatit will bring in all industrial life, butby the simplicity of it Millions willwonder why no one ever thought of Itbefore."

"I am an old man," he would oftensay. "I saw the eomiujr of the rail-roads, the telegraph, the automobileand the more wonderful things oflater years. 1 predicted back in 1850that tbe world would one day see thehorseless wagon, and It is here. Ah,If I could only just get the one littlemissing link!"
