News Relating to The Fire in Tesla's Lab

—The Century builded better than it knew when it engaged an article by T. C. Martin, editor of The Electrical Engineer, on "Tesla's Oscillator and Other Inventions," which will appear in its April number. Since this article was written, Mr. Tesla's laboratory, with all its contents, including machinery and records, was destroyed by fire, leaving the text and illustrations of Mr. Martin's paper absolutely the only record of some of the inventor's most important discoveries. Not the least interesting parts of this article are the reproductions of the first photographs taken by phosphorescent light, being portraits of Mark Twain, Joseph Jefferson and Marion Crawford.
