Tesla Electrifies the Earth

According to the New York "Journal," of August 4, Mr. Tesla announces the completion of his work for the transmission of messages from one point to another on the earth, without the aid of wires. To give an idea of the high potential currents used in this work, he showed a large disc, from the center of which protruded a spherical electrode shooting forth long streams of ethereal flame. Mr. Tesla stated that the electrical disturbance thus created was felt throughout the globe. The article is graphically illustrated with a large picture of the contrivance for emitting the discharge.
