HIS BOYHOOD DAYS.
NIKOLA TESLA, THE FAMOUS ELEC-
TRICAL INVENTOR, A NATIVE
OF MONTENEGRO.
S0N0FAGREEKCLERGYMAN
He Was Studious, But Full of Fun.
Built a Flying- Machine ut I'm.
HU Education.,
In all probability Nikola Tesla knows
more about electricity than any other man
living. He stands at the head of those who,
within the last twenty years, have done
more to forge the bonds that have made the
mystic current the useful slave of human-
kind. And yet Nikola Tesla'* boyhood was
mostly passed in a region where the people
are hardly more than half civilized in their
ways; a region over which Moslem and
Christian have waged bloody combat for
centuries; a region of rugged, bleak moun-
tains and narrow valleys and tempestuous
rushing torrents. This region is known as
Montenegro. It is a narrow strip of country
that lies between Austria and Turkey, and
it takes its name from its own ^omber
mountains.
Nikola was born in the little village of
Smiljan, province of Llka, less than forty
years ago. His father was a clergyman of
the Greek church, to which most Christians
in Montenegro belong, and all through the
boy's early years his most numerous ac-
quaintances must have been among the
rough peasants of the neighborhood, some
of whom were poor beyond description and
many of whom were so ignorant that they
could not even read. But in spite of their
lack of cultivation and of cash, the peasant
men and women of Montenegro are line,
strong folk, seeming to possess something
of the ruggedness of their surroundings in
their own persons. They are brave, too,
and they love their country and their relig-
ion, and in his youth Nikola must have
heard many tales of heroic deeds done by
his father's friends and neighbors in self-
defense against the Turks, who wished to
rule the land and to force the people to
charge their faith.
An American boy could hardly imagine
anything more novel and strange than were
this boy's surroundings, livery man in Mon-
tenegro knows how to handle the rifle and
all other weapons, for he is likely to have
need of them at almost any time, and every
one Is an expert fisherman and hunter. They
dress in the brightest colors, and even the
poorest bften wear clothes that are richly
embroidered and otherwise ornamented.
The women, too, attire themselves in what
would here be considered fantastic garb,
but, aside from what little farm work is
done by the men, do nearly all the labor of
the country. Sometimes the women do much
of the outside work. even, and without com-
plaint—for have not the men enough to do
to attend to the fighting and the politics of
the country, and the shooting of game?
It is partly due to the attention given by
the men to other things than work and
partly to the ruggedness of the region that
the people of Montenegro are so poor and
so ignorant In the mass. Just how back-
ward they arc as to the comforts of life
may be faintly hinted by the statement
that in some parts of the. country furthest
removed from the larger towns the bread
is baked without yeast in the ashes ot
open fires, there being no ovens of any
sort, nor even chimneys to carry off the
smoke. The Montenegrins speak a lan-
guage that would sound extremely queer

to American boys. It Is described by }'!1,;
guists as a pure dialect ot the Slavic,
and is the nearest of all 'ariguages to tlia
original Slavonic, mto which ihe Blble was
translated nearly a thousand yfa^
for tlie benefit of the peoples of Central
liui it must not be understood that all
those who dwell In Montenegro are[ignor-
ant and uncultivated. As a people they aio
bright and quick, and their savings die
often of striking force. For instance 11

Among their leaders, too. are many who
are highly cultivated. Tesla's lather being
a priesi. he was, of course, an educated
man, and it was Probably because he saw-
that his son could not do his best in Mon-
tenegro that the boy was sent away from
home at 13.
When only a little lad Nikola was very
fond of study. Not altogether the study
of books, but largely of things, for, like all
healthy boys, he was interested in all that
he saw about him. His earliest notion was
that It was a pity that man should have
to climb the hills with which his home
was surrounded, since birds could ily
wherever they wished to go and with such
small apparent effort. So when only a
little chap of 12 he set about making a
living machine, using an old umbrella for
the foundation. Undoubtedly he had the
same general ideas that were later adopted
by Herr l.lllienthal, the German who was
killed the other day in one of his experi-
ments. for like Lillienthal, young Tesla's
plan was to start his flight by jumping
from the top of a hill. His interest in fly-
ing died out, however, when he fell and
f

was so badly hurt that he had to stay in
bed for six weeks.
It was while he was laid up by this ac-
cident that he began to study mathemat-
ics and mastered arithmetic. He had an
idea then that all problems in the science
of numbers could be solved by the proper
use of the number three and its "powers,"
but whether he proved his theory he has
never told. He had then been seven years
in school, having spent three years in the
real schule at Smiljan and four in the
public school at Gosplc, to which his father
had removed. Gospie was a larger place
than Sjniljan, though only a very small
town; but there were many more things
there to interest him than there had been
at Smiljan.
His father, however, decided that the ed-
ucational advantages of Ciospic were not
sufticient for his son. and so the lad was
sent to live with his aunt in Carlstadt,
Crotia, where he was to finish his school-
ing. It was while on his way to Carlstadt
that the lad saw a steam engine for the
first time, and it tilled him with the great-
est delight. It was then, too, that he de-
termined not to be a clergyman like his
father, as the latter wished, but to devote
himself to science; and he studied so hard
at Carlstadt that he was able to finish a
four years' course in three years' time and
to graduate in 1873. when he was only 16
years old.
Then there was an epidemic of cholera
and because of this he returfted to his
father's home at Gospie. But the disease
sought him out. and when he recovered he
was so weak that for two years he re-
mained at home and rested from his stud-
ies.
It was while he was at home then that
•he managed to get his father to agree to a
sicientltlc career. When the boy was IS he
was sent to Gratz. in Austria, to study for
a professorship in mathematics and phys-
ics. At Gratz lie saw for the iirst time a
Gramme electrical machine, though he had
previously made some boyish experiments
with electricity, having constructed with
his own hands a rude little generator which
he operated with the power of a toy water
wheel. As soon as lie saw the Gramme
machine he determined to make electricity
his life study. That was In 1S7.">, only 'J1
years ago. and in that time Nikola Tesla
lias wrought more marvels with the agency
that is now used to light our streets and
houses and factories, haul our street cars
and do so many other wonderful things,
than any other person-—unless it be Edison,
who was then a telegraph operator, and not
far from the beglnnnig of his career as an
electrical inventor.
It should not be understood that young
Tesla missed any fun that was going, just
because he was forward in his studies. On
the contrary he was always full of juven-
ile tricks, and had many boyish adven-
tures, as he himself has often declared.
Once he went by himself to a little chapel
away up in the hills back of Gospie, and in
some way was locked in for hours. In the
meantime he was missed by his father,
'who organized a searching party, but of
course never thought of looking for the
boy in the right prace. How long he might
have remained there no one knows, had he
not finally thought of ringing the chapel
bell. Loud and clear through the narrow
valley echoed the sound as he pulled the
rope, and, guided thereby, the searchers
hastened to the chapel, not at all sure,
however, that the boy was there. When
found he was cold and hungry and nerv-
ous. and glad to get back home to his
mother.
It was his mother who sympathized most
with his aspirations, and it was largely her
influence over his father that finally won
the latter to the boy's plan not to be a
clergyman; and yet she must sometimes
have been annoyed by his pranks. Once,
as he occasionally relates to his intimate
friends, he was so startled by her sudden
appearance on the scene when he was up
to some piece of mischief that he fell into
a great kettle of fresh milk, spoiling the
milk and his clothes at the same time. She
was a woman of unusual ability, force of
character and ingenuity. The latter char-
acteristic was mostly developed in her em-
broidery, which was of artistic and original
designs', and made her famous all through
the part of Montenegro in which she lived.
To his mother's love and influence Tesla
attributes much of his manhood's success.
it should be said of the man whose boy-
hood has been outlined above and whose
success has been so grt>at, that although
his inventions have yielded him a an .it
deal of money, he has spent it in making
new investigations about as fast as he has
received it. and that he regards the benefit
to humanity that scientific progress will
Insure, as of far greater importance than
mere money making. Once when he was
talking with the writer of this article,
Nikola Tesla declared that he believed the
mission of applied electricity to be the
practical rejuvenation of the world, by
lessening the amount of labor that must
be performed by human hands, and that
he hoped to live to see the day when all
alike, both rich and poor, should share
equally in the advantages of all scientillo
discoveries.
"But that would be practically the aboli-
tion of poverty and riches," the writer ven-
tured to say.
"Precisely so," answered Tesla, "and that
is what I believe will bye ami bye be ac-
complished by man's investigation and util-
ization of nature's mysteries."

Was the blarney stone really at the Irish
village during the world's fair? S. T. P.
It was not. We think that the stone
called the blarney stone there was simply
a model of the original, and not even a
fragment of the original. The real blarney
stone is about four feet below the upper-
most window in Blarney castle, and at last
accounts it was still there.

Whatsis the meaning of the phrase
"Away Down South In Dixie?"
^ SOUTHRON,
"Dixie" is or rather was the land south
of Mason and Dixon's line, but it got the
name indirectly. Dixie was a. slave owner
in New York in the last century whose
slaves were well treated and increased
faster than his land. As a result he had to
sell some of them, and those who were sold
always looked back to Dixie's farm as to
a lost paradise. Hence, In time "Dixie's
land" meant the negro's paradise and alter
the original Dixie was dead the term was
applied to the south, where the negroea
were most numerous, and then came the
idea that "Dixie's land" referred to the
country south of Mason and Dixon's line.
The southerners adopted the name, for
General Albert Pike wrote the famous
southern war song, "Dixie."

What is the meaning of the word "Aran-
sas?" What are the limits of the Aransas
Pass country? C. G,
We do not lind that it has any meaning:
it is not a pure Spanish word. The Aransas
Pass country may be taken to include
Aransas county and San Patricio county,
with perhaps Corpus ChrisVi county, inas-
much as the pass is the principal entrance
to Aransas and Corpus Christi bays.

Who invented the iirst steamboat?
E. J. M.
Suggestions as to the use of steam in
propelling vessels were made by Solomon
de Caux, a Frenchman, in 1615, and by the
marquis of Worcester, an Englishman, in
1663, but they were never carried out prac-
tically. Papin, a Frenchman, built a niudel
steamboat in 1707, which he operated on the
Fulda river. He was the first to propel a
vessel by steam.

How should I prepare tlsh lines with oil?
S. U.
Take a howl lars'e enough to hold the fish
line when loosely coiled, heat the howl, put
the fish line in it and cover with hot sweet
oil in which wax is melted. Let tile line re-
main there for some time, stirring it so
that till' oil shall reach every part o!' the
line. Then take it out, drying it on an
open reel.

Can a minor buy a suit of clothes legally?
Is not a man responsible for debts con-

A minor can not do so legally: that is, the
seller can not hold the minor responsibla
for the cost of the suit: he must hold the
minor's guardian. If the man ha* not ad-

his wife's debts he is bound to pay them.

What are silver certificates such as are
traded in on the New York money market?
Where is the bullion deposited against
which these certificates are issued? ^
They are certificates of deposit issued by
the few trust and safe deposit companies
which receive silver bullion. Most of the
silver bullion in New York is deposited in
the Mercantile sale deposit company's
vaults, and that company issues its certift-
eates iust as a bank issues a certificate of

J. H. Wyman of Chicago went to New-*
port News recently and while waiting fo*
a ferryboat a stranger, a man about Wy«
man's age, came up and shared his seat*
They were, waiting for the same boat.
"You were, in the union army," said tha
stranger, glancing at a button on Wyman'a
lapel. "Where did you serve?"
"I was in the First Wisconsin heavy ar-
tillery and put in a good share of the time
guarding the. big bridge over the Green
river in Kentucky," answered the north-
erner.
"You did! 1 twice helped to blow up that
bridge and was there when the third at-
tempt, which you fellows stopped, was
made. It was a black night in winter when
we went up the third time. There wera
only a few of us, but enough to do tha
work if it were done quickly and we coultX
pass through the federal pickets. Wa
reached a. point a thousand yards southi
of where we thought your picket line was,
and 1 was sent forward alone lo locate tha
line and lind some place through which wa
could pass. 1 walked along freely until C
thought 1 ought to take some care, ami
then 1 dropped to my hands and knees afnt
went thai way for a while. It was so darte
1 couM see absolutely nothing. All at oneo
I struck a dry bush and snapped a stick:
under my knee at the same time. Then a
rifle shot came from a picket at a point
not twenty yards awa> and my right arm
was broken by the ball. The fellow had
fired at the noise and made a good shot„
U alarmed the guard, and our third at-
tempt to blow up the bridge was a failure*
Were you there then?"
' Yes, ' said Wyman. "I am the man whor
shot you. 1 ne\»T saw you. but I heard tha
moving of the busdi and the breaking ofi
the twig After 1 shot you walked straight
to the right for about ten yards and then
ran back for your command."
That 1 did exactly," said the southerner*
"We found your tracks in the sand thai
next day. 1 did not know 1 hit you. L am
glad I did not kill you, and I'm mighty
glad to see you."
Then they shook hands and took up thai
journey together. .
Why do so many more stars "shoot" In
August than in any other month? Also,
why is it that the mocking bird does not
sing during this month? S. P. G.
No one knows why the shooting stars are i
so numerous in August; all that is known I
is that there are regular star showers be- j
tween August 9 and l- every year, and that
there are other similar showers in Novem-
ber. The mocking bird does not sing be-
cause he is moulting, getting ready to put
on his fall plumage.
