Pictures are transmitted over wires-they were telegraphed successfully through the point system thirty years ago. Later the distance will be illimitable, and by later I mean only a few years hence. Already motion pictures have been transmitted by wireless over a short distance. "When the wireless transmission of power is made commercial, transport and transmission will be revolutionized.

"We shall be able to witness and hear events-the inauguration of a President, the playing of a world series game, the havoc of an earthquake or the terror of a battle-just as though we were present. A man will be able to carry one in his vest pocket. Not only this, but through television and telephony we shall see and hear one another as perfectly as though we were face to face, despite intervening distances of thousands of miles and the instruments through which we shall be able to do his will be amazingly simple compared with our present telephone. We shall be able to communicate with one another instantly, irrespective of distance. "When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted into a huge brain, which in fact it is, all things being particles of a real and rhythmic whole. "Wireless will achieve the closer contact through transmission of intelligence, transport of our bodies and materials and conveyance of energy. The majority of the ills from which humanity suffers are due to the immense extent of the terrestrial globe and the inability of individuals and nations to come into close contact. "From the inception of the wireless system," he says, "I saw that this new art of applied electricity would be of greater benefit to the human race than any other scientific discovery, for it virtually eliminates distance. Lord Kelvin said of him (before he was forty) that he had contributed more than any other man to the study of electricity. When fortune was his through his revolutionary power-transmission machines he established plants, first in New York, then Colorado, later on Long Island, where his innumerable experiments resulted in all manner of important and minor advances in electrical science. Nikola Tesla came to America in early manhood, and his inventive genius found quick recognition. This world, amazed many times during the last throbbing century, will rub its eyes and stand breathless before greater wonders than even the past few generations have seen and fifty years from now the world will differ more from the present-day than our world now differs from the world of fifty years ago. And, despite his obsession with the practical application of what a gifted mind may learn in books, he has never removed his gaze from the drama of life. He is an engineer, an inventor and, above these as well as basic to them, a philosopher. He abstains from all beverages save water and milk and has never indulged in tobacco since early manhood. In the midst of luxury he lives meagerly, selecting his diet with a precision almost extreme. He is a tall, thin, ascetic man who wears somber clothes and looks out at life with steady, deep-set eyes. And some of these awe-inspiring developments, says Tesla, are not so very far off.Ī T SIXTY-EIGHT years of age Nikola Tesla sits quietly in his study, reviewing the world that he has helped to change, foreseeing other changes that must come in the onward stride of the human race. Temperate zones will turn frigid or torrid.
Earthquakes will become more and more frequent. Enormous power will be transmitted great distances without wires. Aircraft will travel the skies, unmanned, driven and guided by radio. You will communicate instantly by simple vest-pocket equipment. The life of the bee will be the life of our race, says Nikola Tesla, world-famed scientist.Ī NEW sex order is coming-with the female as superior.
