Tertiaries
a name given by Church writers to a class in the Roman Catholic Church who, without entering into the seclusion of a monastery, aspire to practise in ordinary life all the substantial obligations of the scheme of virtue laid down in the Gospel. It was under St. Francis and the mendicant orders generally that the institute of Tertiaries reached its full development. Similar lay associations were organized in connection with the Dominican, Carmelite, and Augustinian, as well as with certain of the more modern orders; and a brotherhood of the same character had already been formed by the Templars. The institute of Tertiaries, properly so called, is quite distinct from that of the lay " "co "confraternities" which exist in connection with the several orders, and the objects of which are very similar.

J. He then opened a laboratory of his own. In 1888 he completed his discovery of the rotating magnetic fluid by the invention of the rotary field-motor, the multiphase system of which is used in the 80,000 horse power plant built to transmit the water power of Niagara Falls to Buffalo and other cities. He invented many methods and appliances for the use of electricity, among them the production of efficient light from lamps without filaments, and the production and transmission of power and intelligence without wires. Among his wonderful inventions is that of the electrical oscillator, by which he claimed the electric current can be received from its source and given an intensity which will enable a copper wire to carry 50,000 horse-power across the ocean. In November, 1898, Tesla announced the discovery of, and on May 1, 1900, patented, a method of transmitting electrical energy without wires. Working along the same line Guglielmo Marconi invented his wireless-telegraphy. In 1901 Tesla discovered that the capacof thus opening up a new field for scientific research.
