Nikola Tesla to Light the Whole United States

Nikola Tesla, who has been at work on a wireless light for 20 years, at last announces that he has invented something which actually works. He says: "It would be possible by my wireless transmitter of great power to light the whole United States. The current would pass into the air, and traveling in all directions would produce the effect of a strong aurora borealis. I would like nothing better than to undertake to light New York harbor for say 100 miles around. There would be great economy in production, as there would be nothing about the lamps to give out"
