38 year old Tesla articals

["Tesla list" <tesla@xxxxxxxxxx>]

While looking through old papers I came across my old electronic note 
book from high school 1967.  I saved lots of pictures and articals 
from magazines in college too so some of this may be from magazines 
as new as 1975.  One of the articals shows a picture of a large coil 
on the top of a huge barn.  The artical says Tesla made 100 ft 
lightning bolts across the barn lot and then it thundered.   I know 
this is not true but I beleived it 38 years ago in high 
school.   There are lots of worthless articals floating around that 
are not true where in the world did they all come from?  I have 
another artical that shows light bulbs on a 6' pole 100's of them 
stuck in the ground all over a large field as far as you can 
see.  All the light bulbs are light up and the artical say Tesla 
could make the light bulbs light up at a distance of 100 miles with 
NO wires.  The guy that wrote this artical must have been trippin on 
acid.  I never did beleived this one.  Where in the world did this 
stuff come from.   Who ever made this stuff up should be sentenced to 
prison, life in the low voltage electric chair and a Tabasco sauce 
enima 3 times a day.
