TESLA INVENTS AN OSCILLATOR.
Discovery Which "VV 111 Kevolutlon'ze
Electric Lighting;.
New York, April 8. Nicola Tesla has
made a discovery which will revolution
ize, it is believed, the ordinary means of
illumination, and will be of inflnte use
in hundreds of directions. Teshi ex
hibited tonight newly perfected appli
ances called electrical oscillators, which
are a novel kind of transformers, based
on one his discoveries made six years
ago. By their means Thesla is now able
to produce electrical vibrations to a fre
quency of many millions a second from
ordinary currents, whether alternating
or direct.
This achievement has an important
bearing on many scientific and industri
al problems. Tesla pointed out two im
portant discoveries. First of all, ho an
nounced that he had found a new anil
powerful source of the rays. This source,
he said, was an electric arc formed under
certain conditions, and the quality of
the rays is such as to give a far finer
definition and greater power of tiie im
pressions. Tesla said that while diffi
culties at the present are sucti as to re
strict the use of the principle, lie hoped
to overcome and soon report substantial
progress.
The second important discovery, Tesla
announced, was the deflection of Roent
gen rays by a magnet. This has an im
portant bearing on tho nature of the
Roentgen rays and establishes the com
plete identity of these with the rays dis
covered by Leonard in 1891, five years
before Roentgen made his announce
ment. In the introduction of his subject,
Tesla said that in 1891 he engaged
in an investigation of the ac
tinic power of phosphorescent bodies.
The Roentgen rays effect were observed,
but not recognized. He exhibited a
great number of diagrams and designs
for a demonstration of bis theory of rays,
which he said were due to minute par
ticles of matter projected with enoi
mous velocities from the bulb, a view
which la at variance with the generally
accepted one regarding transverse waves.
Tesla's newest discovery, besides pro
ducing a more brilliant and much cheap
er means of purifying the atmosphere,
water and other substances. Ammonia,
nitric acid and other products may be
evolved from common air if from noth
ing else. It would be immpossible to
enumerate the possibilities of the discovery.
