began to invent at the age of six As he jrew up his interest focusecf in the laboratory D i "I hours a sleep about one and one-ha- lf the inventor think that it "I says night" When I was young 1 enough for any man But age doesn't require so needed more sleep much There are so many things to do I do In not want to spend time sleeping needlessly Time spent my family all were poor sleepers in sleep is lost time we always elt" Tesla busy with his 700 inventions never had time for marriage He never had a girl in his young days He never had a romance There was no leisure for them His diet is simple He lives chiefly on vegetables cereals and milk The menu includes onions spinach celery carrots lettuce with potatoes occasionally Whites of eggs and milk There is no meat on his complete the diet vegetable plate He never smokes or tastes tea coffee alcoholic beverages or any other stimu- lant" ': While he is perfecting the beam which will defend nations from attack the inventor is playHe goes from one to the ing with other ideas other he says as this or that gains paramount interest or some new clew is suggested 66TUT n J I - V J - i - ' NOW Dr Nikola Tesla intended chiefly for defense will be projected from an electric power plant ready to be put "in action at the first sign of The cost of operation will be insigdanger nificant as the plant is chiefly intended for use in emergency But to make the investment profitable in times of peace it may be commercially employed for a number of purposes Dr Tesla wishes it to be understood that the means hehas perfected has nothing in common "death ray" with the "It is impossible to develop such a ray 1 worked on that idea for many years" he says "before my ignorance was dispelled and 1 became convinced that it could not be realized This new beam of mine consists "of minute bul "The An artist's conception of ihe nay a technician sitting in one of Dr Tesla s great generating' plants ivould use the new - beam to destroy hostile airplanes lets moving at a terrific speed and any amount of power desired can be transmitted by them The whole plant is just a gun but one which is incomparably superior to the present" beam so-call- ed picture of the protected world in which V men will devote their time to pursuits of peace is a strangely fascinating one Imagine the map of the world every country surrounded by great plants which will offer absolute protection to the nation itself and instant death to any intruders Only ships flying white flags of peace can sail into a foreign npHE - : harbor j The power plants resembling forts placed at strategic distances along a country's border will be on guard As they are immovable they will constitute essentially means for defense and by making invasion impossible will greatly advance the cause of peace (Copyright 1334 by EveryWeek Magazine) When a submarine is located the beams will function under waterfectively as in air" though not quite so ef- TT'OUR new inventions of Dr Tesla are in-vol- - in the creation of the beam "Briefly the first comprises a method and apparatus for producing rays arid other manifestations of energy in free air eliminating the high- vacuum heretofore indispensable" he ex- plains "The second one anything I have done for a long long time" Dr Tesla explains "is an electric bath which I hope to have ready for general use very soon "It doesn't require much room There is a platform on which the person stands He turns on the current Inftantly all foreign material such as dust dandruff scales on the skin and microbes is thrown off from the body Hie nerves too are Exhilarated and strengthened The bath is excellent for medical as well as for cleaning purposes" However the war picture gives the master inventor more satisfaction than the minor inventions He is rejoicing because his instrument of death will save millions of lives and inestimable property His only regret is that there may be another war before the discoveries he has made have been placed before the Disarmament Conference at Geneva and generally adopted by the nations of the world "The next war and I am afraid that there will be one before long" he says "will be fought in the air "But if the beam is adopted war in the air will cease "Whatever battles there are ' thereafter will be confined to the sea But no nation will dare to attack another nation when every country is armed There will be a general feeling of safety throughout the world" j n J v what is giving me more tun than I is the process for produc- ing electrical force of immense power "The third method amplifies the process and the fourth produces a tremendous electrical repelling force" In times of peace such a plant can be used to transmit power in any amount up to its hill capacity and to any place on the earth visible through a telescope according to its inventor u n -
