New Means to Save Lightning

August 22nd, 1900

New York, Aug. 17. - A patent has been granted to Nikola Tesla for an invention which, if his claims are borne out, will prevent the escape of electricity from a wire.

He insulates the wire by passing it through or near air kept at a low temperature, producing a coat of ice on the wire, which, the inventor finds by repeated and extensive experiments, cannot be broken through by the strongest currents, and at the same time gives an insulation that costs practically nothing.
