Don’t Laugh.

The young electrical wizard, Tesla, says that he can supply the world with artificial sunshine as soon as he can safely care for the 8,000,000 volts necessary for that purpose. Do not laugh at him, nor compare him to the ancient philosopher who said that he could move the world if he could secure a fulcrum for his lever. Nothing seems impossible to electricity, and some day even grim Chicago and dull London may be provided with best three-ply, yard-wide Italian sunshine, guaranteed to mellow the temper and consolidate the health, by electrical contractors who have found out the secret of imitating the sun.—New York Journal.
