Are They Tesla's Agents?

February 17th, 1901

Boston Has A New Theory to Account for the Men Camping Out in a Tent There.

BOSTON, Feb. 16. — It is now believed that the two men who have lived in a tent on Huntington avenue the last two weeks, and whose mysterious actions have caused much comment, are agents of Tesla. When a tall polo, sixty feet high, was put up a week ago and a number of wires were attached to a glass bottle, which was fastened to the top. it was believed that the men would endeavor to coax electricity from the clouds to heat the tent. To-day more wires were fastened to the pole and the men were working on something on the inside, which appears to be a huge battery.

This gives rise to the theory that it will be one of Tesla's relaying stations for his wireless telegraphy. One of the men who ocouples the tent was asked to-night if he was an agent of Tesla, but he refused to commit himself, saying, "I may be and I may not be."
