...experimental furnace of 1 cu. ft. capacity. The crucible was lathed out of a solid block of graphite, a form of carbon which conducts electricity well. To set up the resistance he packed the crucible in lampblack-an obstinate conductor of electricity. The current was carried through a copper coil. The outside of the furnace was heat-insulated, and a temperature gradient was established through the heat insulation to a water-cooled inductor coil. This carried the heat away, prevented the outside of the furnace from getting hot and breaking down the charge coil, which had spoiled earlier efforts...
...Costa Rica he photographed a rattlesnake which, instead of lunging from its coil as other rattlers do, raises its head about 18 in. from the ground and strikes viciously.

Banker Morgan gave Genius Tesla great amounts of money for experiment. In Colorado in 1899, Tesla built a huge in duction coil by which he generated and, he says, sent out wireless waves the same year Marconi established wireless communication between France and England. Tesla claims priority, because he con ceived his system six years earlier, in 1893. The theoretical path of Tesla's waves were through the earth, not through...
