last Nikola; Tesla "has reached a point in his Investigation ef the possibility of telegraphing without wire to make a positive announcement of his achievements. It! has been one of Jil dreams for He has worked at the problem long and But hi 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 wrj 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 CKe modest attitude of uncertainty and hopo give way to pofdtlveness and assurance, and the definite announcement of is made.

Mr. Tenia declare that he has produced electrical device with which he can actually send and receive messages by a system which can be so applied a to make it possible for an operator in New York to communicate with ease and certainty 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 completed." Mr. Tesla said yesterday, J'wlll carry messages through the earth for a distance of twenty mile or so. I have sent and received rslgnals with them, and I feel confident that I am not mistaken In saying that the problem upon which I have Bpent many days and nights is solved.

Of course it is possible that I' am mistaken. I have made mistakes be fore, but not many. I shall at once make machines which I expect will enable me to telegraph to any part of the earth as readily as I can within a limited distance by means of the ones I have. "If I have a machine which 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 I do not need to doubt that I can make one which will throw the stone fifty mile if I can control the necessary power." TVot Explained In Detail.

Mr. Tesla was not ready to explain in detail the devices which he uses for telegraphing without wires, but he talked freely about the principles which were involved and made it clear that the "results were obtained by the use of some form of his electrical oscillator, recently patented. As long ago, he said, as when he was putting up telephone wires In Budapest, he observed that electrical im pulses were carried long distances with out the, intervention of wires. There was a telegraph cable one and a half or two miles away over which i.iessages were being sent by the Morse and at times he could read these messages through the telephone. This set him to Investigating the electrical condition 1 of the air.

He became satisfied that the messages were conveyed to the telephone wires by Induction. In 1890 he announced his belief that by means of electrical impulses of an ex tremely high rate, never yet attained 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 telegraph ing might be conducted through the earth without he said yesterday. "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 leaders in electrical science." It was not until 1893. when he appeared before the National Electrical Lighting Association at St.

Louis, that he first declared his belief In the possibility of tele graphing over the whole earth without wires. Then he explained the general method which he believed would make this possible. If he could get a machine which should be able to disturb the static electricity of the earth. In that year he had an electrical exhibit at the World Fair in Chicago, and among his visitors was Jfroressor Helmholz. "I spoke of my project to Professor Helmholz," Mr.

Tesltt said yesterday. "and told him how I thought it might oe accompnsned. yes, it is he said, 'but it would take much power. I wa very much pleased with this admls. sion by this great master, and gratified that he did not condemn the Idea, as many of my co workers had done.

I did not tell him then that I had already solved that part of the problem." Eleetrleal Oselllator. The solution to which, Mr. Tesla referred was brought about through the work which he had done in developing his electrical oscillator, which he was working upon particularly in connection with the production of light from the Crookes tube. The energy of the electric current, like that of flowing water, is displayed only when the current is interrupted. A familiar example of this may be seen in the common medical battery where the current flowing from one pole to the other may be passed through the most sensitive parts of the body, and yet not be felt.

Pass the same current through a Ruhmkorff coil, interrupting the secondary current by the vibrations of the commutator, and It will twist up the muscles the strongest man and make him powerless. Before Tesla's time interruptions of this sort had been produced only by mechanical means, and could number only a few hundred a second. His electrical oscillator acts upon the principle of a bell, where a single stroke ot the hammer sets the metal vibrating with a rapidity com. mensurate 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 Interrupt the current millions of times in a second. In explaining the theory upon which his new devices for telegraphing over the whole earth works, Mr. Tesla used a simple simile. "Suppose the whole earth." he said, "to be like a hollow rubber ball tilled with water, and at one place I have a tube attached to this, with a plunger in the tube. If I press upon the plunger, the water In the tube will be driven into the rubber ball, and as the water Is practically incompressible, every part of the surface of the ball will be expanded.

If I withdraw the plunger, the water follows it and every part of the ball will contract Now. if I pierce the surface of the ball several times and set tubes and pluneers at each place the plungers In these will vibrate up and down in an I wer to every movement which I may produce In the plunger of the first tube. If 1 were to produce) an explosion in the center of the body of water In the ball, this would set up a werle of vibrations in the whole body. If I could then set the plunger in one of the tubes to vibrating in consonance with the vibrations of the water. In a little while and with the use of a verv little enerrv.

I could burst the whole thing asunder." Eleetrlelty la Motion. Thlsk Mr. Tesla said, would explain In a rude way how he proposed to set the whole' of the static electricity of the I earth 'in motion. for toloBt anhlo nnr. poses, by taking advantage of the In coroiressiDiiuy and elasticity or the electric fluid.

Then he told of some of the Interesting results which he had accomplished in studying the theory and effect; of vibration). In one case he set a steel ring, four Inches thick, vibrating, and by repeated but gentle continuations of the vibrations, burst the ling. In another tease he took a steel bar an Inch in diameter, set it vibrating, and kept it going until its Internal disturbance was so great that first a section of the rod broke loose from" one end and flew off and then another section flew off from the other end. In applying: these principles to the telegraphic purpose Mr. Tesla had first to work out the theory and then to make instruments which would et up the proper vibrations and others again which would catch and record them.

"I have perfected my machines and got excellent results," Mr. Tesla said yesterday. "I have thought of this system of telegraphing, not as a mere commercial matter, but as a means of bringing the nations of the earth closer together. I conceive that the of this system will not do away with the use ot telegraph wireSy butt will, on the other hand, make more work for them. It Is true that mill Ions of my machines might be ueed without those of one lot interfering wfcch those of another lot.

but the manner In which I conceive that the system should be used i this: Have a machine at each or political center and send out from each place, under an agreement, all the political, financial or other news, to be read at every other part of the world at the same moment. The new could be distributed then over the wire lines or otherwise. Financial panics and even wars be done away with it this were done." Mr. Tesla rays the transmission of signals ts not the only result which may be achieved by his new scheme. "This was what I at first thought," he said, "but from the results of my experiments 1 am now hopeful that I shall be able to substantiate another thing the transmission of power from place to place." A Great Problem Solved.

If It were proved possible to transmit power without wires, and to consider able distances. It would solve the greatest problem which now ccnstrlct3 the use ot electricity for many purposes. "If ever, we are able to communicate with tho stars it woild be by this method," Tesla declared. When asked what the effect of electrical storms would be on his system. Mr.

Tesla said they would undoubtedly Interfere more or less with the working of tho Instruments locally. Before the interview witn ntm eaaea he made a statement regarding his Crookes tubes lightning system which will interest many persons. "The system Is now a commercial possibility." he declared. "I don't like the word 'commercial, he added, "but what I mean is that I have succeeded In bringing down cost of the light so that it will compare favorably with other means of lighting." Mr. Tesla took up one of the many lighting tubes which were i lying about and, starting the current through one of his oscillators, held the tube near the poles.

The tube was shaped like a gridiron and was about eight Inches square. As it drew near the electrlo arc of tho oscillator it began to glow, and when It was close by it was all ablaze with a pure light. "If It were night." "Mr. Tesla Said, "this light would diffuse lu elf over this whole room, so that you could read anywhere, although the candle power of the light Is low." His lights would be supplied by wires running across each robm, but they could be produced without sny connection with the wires if desired. Another form of tube, he said, gave a light many times more brilliant than the aro electric light, and this was suitable for such things as THE THEATER ORDINANCE.

ggestlona for Amend me i Caaae of Delay. ts and Councilman Dewar, author of the theater ordinance, says that he would have done something toward having the ordinance pushed in the Council last night but that he had a number of amendments to consider, which were newly suggested and were not in shape when the Council met. He submitted the ordinance to the architect for English's Opera House, he rays, and showed a copy of the ordinance with markings In the margin, suggesting changes by the markings and "too severe," by the side of certain provisions concerning the construction and the material to be used. One provision suggested to be left out was for the use of steel lath. Mr.

Dewar also showed a letter from Will E. English, in which the latter commended the theater ordinance and expressed a desire tor its passage, notwithstanding, as the letter said, he would have to pay out about $23,000 more for the theater improvements on account of the ordinance. Mr. Dewar said that he did not think he would consent to the proposed change as to lath, etc Wedded In Michigan State. Special, to The Indianapolis News.
