Inventor and th the limn Iran but It wan vas hover hever published fo to farMr Mr Tisla T at nt Ita Ira close on the ground o of 01 lumen business reasons begged that I say eay about him tor for months to come comeI I 1 I wrote out the notes however and lal llin tb ni away nn and when I met Mr r Te Testa Tela ln I told him I now Intended to use them th m At the same time we e had hadUK I UK tit th extraordinary ln ry conversation about his hll recent discoveries Inventions as u to the th transmission of at force Corce which I reproduce In the latter part art oC or this thie ar IiI hint take a 1 glance at nt Tesla the tho mn man HP lie looked more moro HUe I e an nn warrant savant lI thin u IL hard hardworking working Inventor when I raw 1111 him In the tho Waldorf tonight Ho lie was waa u in 11 evening dross droes and LInd was ivas the tho most figure figur of ot tho the score of ot then 1 I who ho stood about the lobby Mr Train Is I now 47 years of ot ago age Is lu Ills his physical and Intellectual prime Ha lIlt HaIs Is tell lull and slender Blender his head Is II long then and Intellectual with a high and IIII full lie He was teas born In Hun Hungary Hungary gary tary and educated there thore but hut he speaks perfectly and Is 19 one of ot the most charming harming conversationalists I have evel Snot inot I During my m chat of ot some y ngo ago ngoh he h talked of ot his hla boyhood bo hood Ills 1111 father r rII WAS II n a clergyman der of ot the Greek church and Nikola was Intended for Cor the priest priesthood priesthood hood HO lie had n brother older than It whom the th rest rut of ot the tho family I considered much hutch brighter That broth I r cr er died young oung and this so 0 crazed his Me father and mother that It t took toole them long Ions to t realize the genius 1 of oC Nikola It If Ithe i he stood Mood well In his studies his hi fathers eyes would fill nil as ho he thought how much better r perhaps tho the other son Ion might have done and whatever Nikola did w waR a always IW compared with the toss possible ble work of oC the tho boy ho who had ball pa fl flawey Md away His Lila first education wee was In tho the public schools of ot and after l that t he ho went to tho the lien at lit Karl Jarl As he went wont on with hla Mud he ha liked mathematics BO so much that t he Intended to tn fit himself to b be u proffer professer of ot mathematics and physics and nd with that view ho hI studied at nt tho Polytechnic Iol school nt at Gratz He Heto to th the engineering course COUrll and inter on studied philosophy and lang langIn ages uags In the colleges nt at Prague and lu U Pest Ho Ito lies has hll since been made n a ator nI I i doctor tor of ot laws 1118 by II Yale and Columbia Shortly Ahart after completing his hll studies Mr r Tesla Testa was associated with the gov KOV government eminent In the tele tale mph troph I h engineering department where lie 1141 Invented ll several Improvement tom there he went to Paris to be en enof ginner of oC a II large lighting company and th thanes nM to the United Staton where he heU h henas nas U 41 employed 1 by Thomas Thoma I In lib his His Ills next position was S that ot of to the Tesla Electric Light company tom and nt at the some time h he established hed the laboratory Inborn tory het he tram from which his hla hi great Inventions havo come Iome TESLA TESI TIlE INVENTOR During my clot chat with Mr Ir r Testa I Raked ked him when hn he first realized that hI he Mad bed the Inventive faculty and ho told ft his 1118 ho lied had always been Inventing In some somo thIng or other When ho waa was quite o II small mall boy he ho mado mallo toy guns which shoot birds And nd as ns ho was waa the tho only one who could make them ho lie sup BUP piled the boys boa of ot his neighborhood He mado clocks nt at eight or nine years and began to dabble In hr electricity before he was tune In his teens His Ills fIrst determine determination tion to devote deoto his life lito to Invention came shortly after he ht went to London to de deliver deliver deflyer liver flyer n R lecture before a n scientific so eo clety there At this lecture he ho met Lord Lard Rayleigh tho the great grent physicist ph and showed him sonic some of oC his Ida experiments said that he ho had undoubtedly the tho faculty of at discovery and that he would succeed as an nn Inventor Shortly after this my mother died said paid Mr Ir Tesla Teem and I concluded to ex exert exert ert crt this faculty Lord Rayleigh had said I possessed It and upon ing lag myself I believed him correct I Idid Idid did not want to waste my powers on small email things and I decided to strive to toward toward ward something that would benefit hu hUe humanity inanity manity I am ens working on nn an Invention invention I i tion for tor the transmission of force torce This Invention will I believe revolutionize the tho world of ot labor I 1 nm am also work lag Inc tn on electricity and I remember her bet when I was WIS not working more moro or orless orless less In the direction of ot a n successful fly flyIng flyIng Ing lug machine My Idea as os to that Is I along different lines hues than any yet et pro proposed posed and I expect to set see It realized d Indeed we shall eventually have flying machines r that will he large la rge enough to curry carry crowds through tho the air lr They Th y must bo be largo large o In order to erased These words wore were uttered by Mr Tes T Tesla a aIn la In nine years ago ngo Today ho says he has completed his force Corco transmission Invention as ns will bo be seen by my lilY Wal Waldorf Waldorf dorf convocation which follows Ho lie Hohas Heline line has also done other things which ho he proposed In that Interview Rement her bar It one before tho the time of ot tho the wire wireless less lees telegraph but he ho then said frold to mo mothe mothe motoo the too following I tell you we are on the tho threshold of oC a n new era

his greatest pleasure was Willi In his work and that ho could conceive no moment so 0 exciting and rapturous as aB that connected with tho discovery of or u new principle which when put nut Into use

by b which he could send power to any distance without wires and LInd that In any quantity enroll or great Said Bold he lee leeI heI I have havo proved that power can ran b be thus hue transmitted Iet

hours and nil within n II radius of ot 30 10 miles of ot my ray lab laboratory laboratory oratory These Thew discharges dl were wre of oC great noot violence some Jome of ot them looking like trees tr J of oC tiro Oro on the tho heavens hoo lIa It U was among such Juoh discharges that I 1 had my electrical Instruments In mul LInd studied the principles of ot through the tho earth and air One day Oay while watching tho light lightning ning I noticed that the discharges afar oft off often affected the Instruments In inlay my lay laboratory In more moro than those near nearby nearby by b li Upon on examination I 1 found that this thin could not bo be caused by b the dlf dif of ot Intensity In tho Individual What could It be he hel Through Instruments made for tor the tha purpose I toe taLl the mutter from trum time timeto to time and came to the thu conclusion sion elan that the tho vibrations earned caused by the Iho lightning moved around II rOil 11 1 the world Wild and that there
