WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. — Assur
ances have been given hy the German
government that the visit ot Emperor
William of Germany to Spai_ is en
tirely devoid of a political character or

the Imperial party ended when they

' From the Baltimore Sua.
Mr. Jacob Fo_- ":<-_a_'s, Md.. is
j engaged in raising frogs for the market. Hs
has s frog pond Just on the suburbs
Michael's, about a Quarter of a mile square,
I and here be is engaged ln tbis novel ltdustrv, !
! Mr. Fonts bas b_n tn the buslnese for a I
number of years and says lt Is a more mat
liable one than oyatertng. Tbere are at this
Ume about 250 frogs ln tbe pond of various
.-_! conditions. They are not like tba
-rdinarv ditch frog, wild and vicious but
; sa we visited tbem the other day, sit upon
, tbe banks of the pond and croak In an al
i together friendly and social way. apparently
t-d with their surroundings. Early la
tbe spring, when frogs first begin to make
their appearance in tbe ditches, two men are
sent oat to catch all tbe medium -sized frogs :
tbat can -be found. Tbeae are brought to tbe
pood and carefully examined to see that tbere
are no diseased ones among tbem. This pro
cess ls continued until the pond U weil stock.
**■ Jhen begins a hunt for tbe food upon
which the frog fattens and grows. A frog
will not eat a dead creature of any sort. Tbev
nius. haye live food, and even tbe food must
be ln motion before the frog will take it
Tadpoles Tery small frogs and Insect* are
tbe principal food upo* which they live, Tbe
tree is a cannibal and devours his food at one
gulp. Mr. !___ earned two small hags at
frogs and a bucket of tadpoles to the pond
and turned them loose upca tbe banks of the
pond. A commotion among the frogs imme
diately ensued, and in a very short itme all
the little frogs had been devoured, as we.' l
as the tadpoles. It was a most novel lesson
in natural history.
The demand made upon Mr. Fonts for
the frogs Is far in excess of the supply.
For several years he has been supplying the
Johns Hopkins university with medium
sized frogs for experimental purposes in the
biological laboratory. He takes great pride
in being the possessor of the skeleton of a
large frog which was prepared for him at the
John Hopkins laboratory. He has also sup
plied the table of the Rennert hotel for a
number of years. At present he has orders
for large shipments from the laboratories of
the following educatloaai institutions: Uni
versity of Michigan. Ann Arbor: Detroit col
lege, Michigan; University -of Georgia, Alb
ens; Bryn Mawr college, F. nnsvlvania: Uni
versity cf North Carolina, C.afel Hill; !sv re
cuse university, New York; University of
Tennessee. Nashville, and Chicago university.
He has orders to supply -hotels in the follow^
ing cities: Cincinnati, St. Louis. Chicago,
Boston and Denver. Col. Jhe average price
realized is 51.50 per dozen.
During the winter season the frogs bury
themselves in the mud-, and in order to get
them for market large nets are dragged ur.der
the mud of the ponds.. The catch has been
very email this sumejer, and some of the
prices realized are fancy.

WORK OF THE WORLD
TESLA HOPES TO DO IT BY USING
THE POWER OF THE
SIN
AIR INSTEAD OF WIRES
Energy May Be Transmitted Aero_
the Int verse by the I'se of
Natural Medliimx With Force
Created In America, the Inventor
Says. Machinery Can Be Run In
Enrope Preparing for Test.
From the Chicago Tribuue.
A practical teßt ls soon to be made of the
wonderful discovery of Nikola Tts a of a
means by which electrical force may be
transmitted through the air to any p_iut on
the surface of the earth.
Mr. Tesla is now busy at work in h _ labor
atory in East Houston street perfecting the
dt-tails for the trial. That force can te sa
transmitted and that his machine can furn sh
it in sufficient degree to be of vast commer
cial importance Mr. Tesla says is beyond
the stage of experiment and theory — It Is a
demonstrated reality. He only wishes that
before a public exhibition ls given c cry
neiessary part should be thoroughly though:
out and arranged for, so that there c-in be
no possible hitch in accomplishing risut ; .
In all the marvelous demonstration Mr.
Tes'a has made he has never cnce fal'.el to
do what he proposed to do,' and the re. on
for this Is he always perfects his arrange
ments to the last mir.utla before attem. tl-.g
to give an exhibition.
The test which is scon to be made will be
ln the United States, if that is sue -essful
Mr. Tesla proposes to do what at first blush
eeeaa the impossible. He will transmit
eleoiric torce pr__bly to the extent of
horse p wer frcm a station in this county
to the Creusot works ir. France. Thi. is o *}
of the largest gun-miking and steel p^;'.t<
in the world, and Mr. Tesla h.:s al_ai";'r
ranged with the owners for the trial when
the success of the one in the Urited B_*_
has been attained. Following this, li the
nisult should be favorable, and Mr. T_'a
h. . no doubt of it, and exhibi lon Will be
lr.ade between this county and the Paris ex
position in IP' O.
Astoni-hing as the first announcement of
Mr. Tesla's invent'on showed It to be, it
gave only a faint hint cf its tar-reaching
B _■!____. The ability to harness natural
forces ard transmi their energy to any p. rt
of the world is of the most tremendous com
mercial Importance, yet this practical inven
tor, who deals in mathematical facts, in
wa*ts. centimeters and amperes, is a_. a
philosopher and sees an ethical effect of his
discovery. In it he sees a force working
for universal peact — gow\ fellowship among
nations. "For," he says "vir a nation
which realizes that another nation is able
to furnish it the power to run l's enrlre In
dustrial system offend the source?" And
so hy vastly increasing the fnutual depend
ence of the peoples of the earth Nikola Tesla
i:i iy pu* into operation a peace measure
which will make the late manifesto of the
czar a feeble, inaudible whisper in the audi
torium of the w. rid.
TESLA'S 1 ..RAM.
Though the general outline cf Mr. Tesla's
discovery has been given, the inventor today
gave the firs-' extended explanation of tho
inception and progress of his work.
"As far back as ISP3." he said, "I de
clared in my lectures that thi great thing to

energy of the sun. Heie are the earth and

illimitable, continuous force. There must be
means f nand or making use of it. w.th
the i'li-a th>ii . \j>ri-s. .-<! of making the sun
do our work, 1 s. - about discovering a way.
"A little later I experimented in __•
graphing through the air and demonstrated
thar it i-ou!d be doi.e at certain distance.-:.
as is now shewn by systems ln use ln Bu
ropc.
"Then the idea came to me of making the
transmission of electricity through the air
commercially Important While at the
world's fair, in Chicago, Prof. Helmholz. the
ieiiti. .. called on DU and I
considered lt would he a good chance to ask
him whit he thought of tho possibility of
bitting electricity thtouph the air suffl
clent to make i; „v«llab:e for power. He
agreed lt would be feasible, provided an ap
paratus couM be constructed which would
sough potential. Ther.
the obsta: h whicb I had recognized and
s. ucht to overcome. The highest
which had then been obtained was from
900 to 800.000 volte. Hut In order to mate
the idea of any use seveial million volts were
- iry.
"A machine to do this was therefore es
sential. 1 hoKan to experiment on one and
haw ol vtnined the following results:
"The perfect) in of an apparatus capable
of produ irq th« Immense pressure of 8.000,
--idtj has been attained
in my own md it will bi- quite
possible to produ 00 volts just as
easily.
"This tremend >US pressure, the pressure
of lightning, can be bandied with absolute
safety.
"The currents so produced evinced t'.ie
ty oi passing through air. ;-r.d experi
ments snowed that the air became a con
"Wlun the air was rarefied 'he Conducting
power Increased. 1 1 rapid*y that when rare
>ugh it conducted practicfally like cop
per wire.
"With these facts established lt was easily
dem nstrated that unlimiud power cm be
transmitted through en air strattmi su.-h aa i
exists ln altltud'S which have b«-en reached
by balloons, as shown by exact records."
NATURAL MEDIUMS.
This Ib the general _ atement of the re
sults of Tesla's experiments. It will be seen
therefore, that instead of the two wires or
cables which are used ln transmitting elec
tricity in the ordinary way, Re used two
natural mediums— the stratum of rarefied air
and the earth. They cost nothing and aro
continuous over the mttre earth, making tho
. a to which electric energy may be
transmitted unlimited.
As to the practical working of his appa
ratus. Mr. Tesla said:
"The mathematical de'alls have all been
studied and found perfectly practicable. I
have consulted friends who are engineers,
and am an engineer myself, and I am as sure
of the working of them as lf I were to build
a bridge. A steel wire has been made which
will bupport Its own weight for six-eon miles.
Balloons have betti sent to altitudes far
blgfcer than lt will be necessary to operate.
It will not take a wire larg.r than a spider's
web to convey the current to the balloon,
though the voltage at the point of < scape In
the apparatus in the balloon would be mil
lions. Of cour.-e in use there would be sev
eral wires, but that would be to insure
against accidents."
Mr. Tenia was asked what the effect of
st rrii.- would be on th» balloons— would
1! d I fur Nances not make their
position uncertain?
"That was one of the easiest obstacles
ne," he said. "The balloons will be
far above the region of the atmosphere where
storms exls' or form. The ordinary gt rms
are on.y from 8.000 to 10.000 feet high, while
the balloons will be sent above the highest
stratum of clouds. They will be above the
frost like partlelis which exist above the
feather clouds. Wires such as I shall use
• -*-n tested and shown to have strength
to withstand any hurricaiie. so there is no
r* <*.ible mechanical difficulty with tlie under
taking. They have been the easiest obstacles
to overcome.
The apparatus by which the tremendous
electric force ls produced is called an
trie oscillator." A technical description
would be under, a _ only by experts and
could be made only by an expert. To the
layman all It ls necessary to know is that this
oscillator produces the 1
volts of electric force. It will be in h
loon miles above the earth. Natural power,
such ss Niagara falls, will furnish tlie orig
inal current, or. as Mr. Tesla says, "pump"
lt from the earth. This current is conducted
by a wire u> the oscillator in the balloon.
Tbe current need be only small; one ampere
is sufficient. The oscillator transforms it
Into millions of volts of force, which _>w
away in tbe rarefied stratum of a!r as a con
ductor. This make* this stratum of air
therefore, a reservoir of energy, and so
wherever another balloon ls sent up to tap
it, power may be obtained to any degree for
any purpose.
Here, then !s Tesla's dream of the sun do
ing the work realized. The sun makes the
rivers, the rivers furnish the power to start
the first electric current, and the energy Is
thus pimped to run the machinery of the
world.

CAMDEN, Me.. Sopt. I.— The* N< . 1
; England farmer who owns a bank of j
; whit-.* aluminous clay that is free
I grit and capable of being ground t<> .1
flne mass of white powder has no
j of goii"-; to the Klondike or seeking
, other Held* of wealth, because the pa-
I permakers will take all the clay he
j can produce and pay him $10 to $12 a
j ton for the same and thank him for
j the privilege. Henry Powers, of thia
town, wh" "'.vns a sm-ali farm on tliis
.ill. of Mount Megunticook and Bella
pickling cucumbers in the Boston mai
k* t for .1 a barrel, thinks be has dis
covered ont of these much sought clay
i mines at the bark end of his l"t in a
: damp, boggy place, which will not grow
Mil!" I >.
It was the desire for more cucumbers
; that led t" the discovery. Bowers was
ditching his bogland to draw off the
; water one day in June, and when he
j had gone through some three feet of '
I black muck his Bpade ian deep int.i a
j haul, white clay that was tough tO
j cut and which shook like Jelly when
agitated. Having worked In a paper
j mill in Orono for two winters and
1 knowing that th*- makers of white pa
' per used about 35 per cent of a Ger
man clay in their stock, he took some
cf his mineral home and dried It in
the oven of his cook stove. When the
water had been dispelled he ground
the mass in the family coffee mill and
sent a few pounds of the powder to a
I large paper mill in Berlin Falls, N. 11.
In about a week he received word that
the sample he had forwarded was as
I good as the best that could be had in
Europe, and that the company would
pay him $12 a ton for all he could pro
duce. A_ the total cost of digging,
drying, grinding and boxing the clay
does not exceed $2 a ton, and as there
are a million tons of lt on the Bowers
place, the finder has high hopes of
becoming a millionaire, and will at
on-ce Btart ln to build up his fortune.
Until four years ago agalite was the
only clay material that could be em
ployed ln making white paper. Later
a deposit of white clay was found in 1
South Carolina, which has been large
ly used as a substitute for the import' d
article. The South Carolina product
j sells for $8 a ton, while agalite com
i manded $15. As the Camden clay is |
i said to be as good as the best, it will
no doubt come into general use. Both
j the Camden and th*- South Car*
I products are composed of lime and
i alumnia, and contain no sand of any
'.. kind. The clay found in Oamd _ is
, much the whiter, making it valuaDle
to paper-makers.
