Hardcover. Condition: Good. Volume LX, May - October, 1900, three-quarter red leather and green textured cloth, raised bands, gilt titles and decorations at spine, occasional minor scuffing at spine, overall very clean and bright, inside and out. Article is 37pp, printed in double columns, and illustrated after the author's electrical experiments with 12 photographs now published for the first time according to the editor. Includes an editorial note on Tesla at page 312. Illustrations include burning the nitrogen of the atmosphere, a diagram of the three ways of increasing human energy, the first practical Telautomaton, an experiment to illustrate the supplying of electrical energy through a single wire without return, the experiment to illustrate the transmission of electrical energy through the earth without wire, a photographic view of the coils responding to electrical oscillations, a view of the essential parts of the electrical oscillator used in the experiment, an experiment to illustrate an inductive effect of an electrical oscillator of great power, the experiment to illustrate the capacity of the oscillator for producing electrical explosions, an experiment to illustrate the capacity of the oscillator for creating a great electrical movement, a photographic view of an experiment to illustrate the effect of an electrical oscillator delivering energy at a rate of seventy-five thousand horse-power, and small diagrams of wireless telegraphy mechanically illustrated, and obtaining energy from the ambient medium. Very scarce, only exceeded in scarcity by the single issue.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. [1895 / 1900] Volume LX, May - October, 1900, three-quarter leather and marbled boards, raised bands at spine, light general wear-only, overall a clean, bright copy, but ex-library with small catalog number at spine tail, pocket and small catalog bar code at rear pastedown, and remnants of a borrower's slip at rear fly, contents very clean and bright, and Volume XLIX, November, 1894 - April, 1895, in three-quarter black leather and black pebbled cloth, gilt titles and decorations and raised bands at spine, very clean and bright, inside and out, but also an ex-library copy, with small bookplate at front pastedown, a blind perforation stamp at title-page, and white ink catalog number at spine tail, and ink note at top edge which identifies the volume number, else very clean and bright. First piece is 37pp, printed in double columns, and illustrated after the author's electrical experiments with 12 photographs now published for the first time according to the editor. Includes an editorial note on Tesla at page 312. Illustrations include burning the nitrogen of the atmosphere, a diagram of the three ways of increasing human energy, the first practical Telautomaton, an experiment to illustrate the supplying of electrical energy through a single wire without return, the experiment to illustrate the transmission of electrical energy through the earth without wire, a photographic view of the coils responding to electrical oscillations, a view of the essential parts of the electrical oscillator used in the experiment, an experiment to illustrate an inductive effect of an electrical oscillator of great power, the experiment to illustrate the capacity of the oscillator for producing electrical explosions, an experiment to illustrate the capacity of the oscillator for creating a great electrical movement, a photographic view of an experiment to illustrate the effect of an electrical oscillator delivering energy at a rate of seventy-five thousand horse-power, and small diagrams of wireless telegraphy mechanically illustrated, and obtaining energy from the ambient medium. The second piece - by Martin - is 18-pages, printed in double columns, illustrated with 14 photographs and a diagram of the working parts of an early form of Tesla oscillator. This is the author's follow-up piece after the release of his full-length title -- now scarce, and very expensive -- INVENTIONS, RESEARCHES AND WRITINGS OF NIKOLA TESLA WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO HIS WORK IN POLYPHASE CURRENTS AND HIGH POTENTIAL LIGHTING, published by The Electrical Engineer, NY, 1894. Per the current Editor, the photographs reproduced in the present article were taken under special direction of the inventor by Tonnele & Company. Photos include the latest form of Tesla oscillator combining in one mechanism dynamo and steam-engine, the first photograph ever taken by phosphorescent light, January, 1894, a phosphograph of Mark Twain taken in Tesla's laboratory, three phosphorescent bulbs under test for Actinic value photographed by their own light, Tesla tubes of different forms in which light is obtained without filament or combustion and photographed by their own light, an experiment showing the play of electric sparks between condenser plates, an experiment showing the lighting up of an ordinary incandescent lamp at a distance through the influence of electrified ether waves, an experiment illustrating the lighting of an incandescent lamp in free space by induction from coil below, a similar experiment illustrating the phenomenon of impedance, an experiment illustrating a high-tension current being passed through the body before it lights the lamps, the effect of electrical discharge from the earth by Tesla coil, and a Tesla coil for ascertaining and discharging the electricity of the earth. At the end of the article is a poem, In Tesla's Laboratory, by Robert Underwood Johnson. Both titles very scarce, only exceeded in scarcity by the single issues.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. This is perhaps Tesla's greatest and most approachable, visionary papers, discussing solar energy, wireless transmission of power, robotics, and much else. Published by the Century Company, New York, volume LX, May - October, 1900. Bound in the publisher's original decorated and stamped cloth. A lovely copy in the original, not usually seen in such good condition as "Century" was a widely-read and popular magazine, and given the size/bulk of the bound volumes, they didn't fare well. The Tesla article occurs on pp 175-211, with 1o photo illustrations, "illustrated by the writer's electrical experiments, now first published" plus four diagrams. |\| Tesla introduces problems and then some solutions, as follows: Problem 1, how to increase the human mass the burning of atmospheric nitrogen' 2nd, how to reduce the force retarding the human mass, the art of the Telautomatics; 3rd, how to increase the force accelerating the human mass the harnessing of the sun's energy. Then a section on the source of human energy, the three ways of drawing energy from the Sun. Then, "great possibilities offered by iron (and) the enormous waste in iron manufacture, encompassing a new method of producing iron. This is followed by a section of obtaining more energy from coal, the cold-coal battery and the gas engine.|\| Tesla then addresses the transmission of energy through the atmosphere via one wire without a return wire; and then, in two pages, a discussion of "wireless" telegraphy (showing "errors in the Hertzian investigations"), and the transmission of electrical energy "to any distance without wires". |\| "Of all the endless variety of phenomena which nature presents to our senses, there is none that fills our minds with greater wonder than that inconceivably complex movement which, in its entirety, we designate as human life; Its mysterious origin is veiled in the forever impenetrable mist of the past, its character is rendered incomprehensible by its infinite intricacy, and its destination is hidden in the unfathomable depths of the future. Whence does it come? What is it? Whither does it tend? are the great questions which the sages of all times have endeavored to answer." "Modern science says: The sun is the past, the earth is the present, the moon is the future. From an incandescent mass we have originated, and into a frozen mass we shall turn. Merciless is the law of nature, and rapidly and irresistibly we are drawn to our doom. Lord Kelvin, in his profound meditations, allows us only a short span of life, something like six million years, after which time the suns bright light will have ceased to shine, and its life giving heat will have ebbed away, and our own earth will be a lump of ice, hurrying on through the eternal night. But do not let us despair. There will still be left upon it a glimmering spark of life, and there will be a chance to kindle a new fire on some distant star. This wonderful possibility seems, indeed, to exist, judging from Professor Dewar's beautiful experiments with liquid air, which show that germs of organic life are not destroyed by cold, no matter how intense; consequently they may be transmitted through the interstellar space. Meanwhile the cheering lights of science and art, ever increasing in intensity, illuminate our path, and marvels they disclose, and the enjoyments they offer, make us measurably forgetful of the gloomy future."--from the Tesla article.
