Nikola Tesla yesterday announced by dr. Nikola Tesla yesterday announced by dr. Nikola Tesla yesterday on his 81st birthday at which he was on his 81st birthday at which he was on his 81st birthday at which he was honored with high orders from the honored with high orders from the honored with high orders from the Yugoslav and Czechoslovak government's I Yugoslav and Czechoslovak government's I Yugoslav and Czechoslovak government's I am expecting to put before the Institute am expecting to put before the Institute am expecting to put before the Institute of France an accurate description of the of France an accurate description of the of France an accurate description of the devices with data and calculations and devices with data and calculations and devices with data and calculations and claimed the Pierre gutsman prize of $100,000 world's feeling perfectly sure $100,000 world's feeling perfectly sure that it will be awarded to me the money

that it will be awarded to me the money that it will be awarded to me the money of course is a trifling consideration of course is a trifling consideration of course is a trifling consideration but for the great historical honor of but for the great historical honor of but for the great historical honor of being the first to achieve this miracle being the first to achieve this miracle being the first to achieve this miracle I would be almost willing to give my I would be almost willing to give my I would be almost willing to give my life I am just assured that the prize life I am just assured that the prize life I am just assured that the prize will be awarded to me as if I already will be awarded to me as if I already will be awarded to me as if I already had it in my part they have got to do it had it in my part they have got to do it had it in my part they have got to do it it means it will be possible to convey it means it will be possible to convey it means it will be possible to convey several thousand units of horsepower to several thousand units of horsepower to several thousand units of horsepower to other planets regardless of the distance other planets regardless of the distance other planets regardless of the distance this discovery of mine will be this discovery of mine will be this discovery of mine will be remembered when everything else I have remembered when everything else I have remembered when everything else I have done is covered with dust in discussing done is covered with dust in discussing done is covered with dust in discussing this invention one runs into murky this invention one runs into murky this invention one runs into murky waters where it appears that Tesla tied waters where it appears that Tesla tied waters where it appears that Tesla tied the concept the concept the concept the Radian producing tube to the the Radian producing tube to the the Radian producing tube to the interplanetary communicator these interplanetary communicator these interplanetary communicator these however may be two unrelated creations however may be two unrelated creations however may be two unrelated creations another problem was that the inventor another problem was that the inventor another problem was that the inventor was also discussing at this time the was also discussing at this time the was also discussing at this time the idea of capturing cosmic rays that idea of capturing cosmic rays that idea of capturing cosmic rays that travel at velocities 50 times greater travel at velocities 50 times greater travel at velocities 50 times greater than that of light if this invention than that of light if this invention than that of light if this invention utilized cosmic rays it would imply the utilized cosmic rays it would imply the utilized cosmic rays it would imply the Tesla plan to transcend the speed of Tesla plan to transcend the speed of Tesla plan to transcend the speed of light and communicate with other stars light and communicate with other stars light and communicate with other stars in reading the text carefully in reading the text carefully in reading the text carefully it appears that Tesla does not mention it appears that Tesla does not mention it appears that Tesla does not mention other stars but rather the planets which other stars but rather the planets which other stars but rather the planets which are relatively close to the earth are relatively close to the earth are relatively close to the earth furthermore he doesn't really discuss furthermore he doesn't really discuss furthermore he doesn't really discuss communicating with extraterrestrials so communicating with extraterrestrials so communicating with extraterrestrials so much as transmitting energy there is much as transmitting energy there is much as transmitting energy there is known that as early as 1918 while known that as early as 1918 while known that as early as 1918 while working with Coleman cheetah's son working with Coleman cheetah's son working with Coleman cheetah's son Julian the inventor was bouncing

Julian the inventor was bouncing Julian the inventor was bouncing laser-like pulses off the moon and laser-like pulses off the moon and laser-like pulses off the moon and testing some type of scope therefore it testing some type of scope therefore it testing some type of scope therefore it is possible that he was working on more is possible that he was working on more is possible that he was working on more than one device to send energy into than one device to send energy into than one device to send energy into outer space verification the tests outer space verification the tests outer space verification the tests learned that there existed particles learned that there existed particles learned that there existed particles that traveled faster than the speed of that traveled faster than the speed of that traveled faster than the speed of light were purportedly discovered in the light were purportedly discovered in the light were purportedly discovered in the late 1890s when he invented a device to late 1890s when he invented a device to late 1890s when he invented a device to capture radiant energy the machine capture radiant energy the machine capture radiant energy the machine patented on November the 5th 1901 patented on November the 5th 1901 patented on November the 5th 1901 comprised in essence an insulated plate comprised in essence an insulated plate comprised in essence an insulated plate resembling a flyswatter made out of the resembling a flyswatter made out of the resembling a flyswatter made out of the best quality of mica has dielectric this best quality of mica has dielectric this best quality of mica has dielectric this was attached to a condenser stemming was attached to a condenser stemming was attached to a condenser stemming from his work with radiant energy x-rays from his work with radiant energy x-rays from his work with radiant energy x-rays and Leonard tubes the device could also and Leonard tubes the device could also and Leonard tubes the device could also capture what he called cosmic rays I capture what he called cosmic rays I capture what he called cosmic rays I made some progress in solving the made some progress in solving the made some progress in solving the mystery until in 1899 I obtained mystery until in 1899 I obtained mystery until in 1899 I obtained mathematical and experimental proofs mathematical and experimental proofs mathematical and experimental proofs that the Sun and other heavenly bodies that the Sun and other heavenly bodies that the Sun and other heavenly bodies similarly conditioned emit rays of great similarly conditioned emit rays of great similarly conditioned emit rays of great energy which consists of inconceivably energy which consists of inconceivably energy which consists of inconceivably small particles animated by velocities small particles animated by velocities small particles animated by velocities vastly exceeding that of light so great vastly exceeding that of light so great vastly exceeding that of light so great is the penetrate of power of these rays is the penetrate of power of these rays is the penetrate of power of these rays that they can't reverse thousands of that they can't reverse thousands of that they can't reverse thousands of miles of solid matter with but slight miles of solid matter with but slight miles of solid matter with but slight diminution of velocity in passing diminution of velocity in passing diminution of velocity in passing through space which is filled with through space which is filled with through space which is filled with cosmic dust they generate a secondary cosmic dust they generate a secondary cosmic dust they generate a secondary radiation of constant intensity there radiation of constant intensity there radiation of constant intensity there night and pouring upon the earth equally night and pouring upon the earth equally night and pouring upon the earth equally from all directions since Victor has his
