Mr. Tesla's High Frequency Work

It is now nearly a year since Mr. Nikola Tesla, after his brilliant demonstrations here, scored such decided triumphs in the lectures which he delivered abroad at the invitation of various scientific societies; yet the interest which is manifested in his recent work not only by electricians but by many laymen, is such as to make highly welcome the publication of the abstract of Mr. Tesla's lecture, prepared by him for, and just published in, the Transactions of the Royal Institution of England. In this abstract, Mr. Tesla gives a succinct account of the reasonings and experiments which led up to the results obtained by him, and, taken altogether, they present a remarkable array of experimental facts in a field entirely new. Although replete with facts and suggestions, many of them quite new, it must be evident that the paper embodies but a tithe of Mr. Tesla's work in this field, the complete record of which would fill more than one volume of surpassing interest. Those who attend the convention of the National Electric Light Association in St. Louis, next month, will have an opportunity of witnessing some of Mr. Tesla's experiments in a lecture which he has consented to deliver before the Association.
