TESLA'S WONDERFUL CLAIM.

Proposes Wireless Telegraphy Between New York and Paris.

Denver, Colo., Jan. 14 — Nikola Tesla proposes to telegraph from New York to Paris without wires. He arrived yesterday from Colorado Springs, where he has been working secretly, and announced that he had perfected a system of wireless telegraphy vastly superior to that of Marconi. He left for New York last night.

Said Mr. Tesla:

"I did not come to Colorado for my health, but to learn the effect of dry air and high altitude upon the machine I have perfected. The benefits of my machine during a state fight cannot be estimated. It will aid in doing eternity work.

"The beauty of my machine is that it can transmit power over several thousands of miles without wires. The Marconi system is useless in distances of more than 100 miles. An operator can read a message in transit by the Marconi system; it is impossible to do this with my machine. I expect to send messages to Paris during the Fair.
