Tesla's Laboratory Burned

The laboratory of Nikola Tesla was burned on March 13th with its entire contents. The building in which his laboratory was located was at 33 and 35 South Fifth Ave., New York. The entire building was consumed, and the contents are a total loss. The fire was discovered between two and three o'clock in the morning. The fire gained such headway that it was soon beyond control. The experimental apparatus, models, plans, etc., in the laboratory, whose value can not be estimated in dollars and cents, were destroyed. The loss is felt not only by the wonderful investigator and inventor himself, but by the world at large. The work which was being done by Tesla, received the attention of all scientific and technical persons. A new laboratory is being fitted up and the work taken up again.
