Tesla is Reticent

Has a New Invention, but Refuses to Tell About It.

The friends of Nikola Tesla, the electrical wizard, are saying he has developed the X ray idea until he is now able to pam solid through solids, and had gone so far as to patent his inventions before giving them to a waiting world.

Tesla was asked about his new discoveries. He would only say that he was working quietly, and bad strong hopes of developing something valuable. He declared be was not through with his investigations, and could make nothing public. The idea of foreing solids through solids badly expressed what he was trying to do, unless ether was considered a solid, which it was, scientifically considered.

He excused himself from talking farther about his discoveries by saying it had ever been his practice to give the public the news only after he had made it known through a scientific society. It was also reported that Tesla had succeeded in photographing the human brain through the skull This the electrician denied with positiveness. — New York Journal.
