Nikola Tesla Talks

WILL GIVE TO WORLD A SYSTEM OF WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY CAPABLE OF EXPANSION.

New York. Jan. 16. — Nikola Tesla, the inventor, was asked in his labratory yesterday about progress in his wireless telegraphy experiments. He said:

"I am more confident than ever that when it is completed I shall give to the world as the first result of my labors in the transmission of power without wires to great distances, a system of telegraphy capable of infinite expansion and securing the absolute privacy of the messages.

"I shall shortly make known a novel principle which will to a large degree remove the popular belief that it is impossible to attain that degree of secrecy which is practicable with cables, I respect rigorously the rights of others and when I give my system to the world I shall ask the entire technical profession to point to any feature of my system which is not of my own invention."
