Through the Earth

Tesla Promises to Send Messages to the Antipodes.

His New Oscillator, the New York Sun Says, Will Produce Shocks That Will Be Felt Everywhere on the Globe

NEW YORK SUN — SYRACUSE HERALD,
Special Telegram.

NEW YORK, May 30. — The Sun tomorrow will make the following announcement:

“It is now a little more than two years since the Sun gave to the world Mr. Tesla’s announcement that some time within the eight months following he would send a wireless telegram across the Atlantic ocean. With the failure of that prediction the public is familiar, although not with the immediate cause.

“As we understand it, progress toward fulfilment revealed possibilities so much greater that it was determined to aim at a higher mark, and we are now authorized to say in Mr. Tesla’s behalf that some time within the present year he will send wireless telegrams to the other side of the world. The Tesla oscillator is to deliver to the earth the shock that will be felt and recorded on its uttermost continents.

“As before, we have to wait and see — doubtful because of the miraculous character of the task, but hopeful on the strength of the wonder that science has already done.”
