See NIKOLA TESLA  GUIDED WEAPONS & COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY, Leland I. Anderson, 
Twenty First Century Books, 1998, p. 16, Fig 10 shows "the lighting up of an 
ordinary incandescent lamp, at a distance, through the influence of 
electrified ether-waves."  Fig. 9 on the same page shows "play of sparks 
between condensrer plates, produced by electric charge.  The coil, standing 
in the center of a large room, is unconnected with the energizing circuit."

"Some Experiments in Tesla's Laboratory With Currents of High Potential and 
High Frequency," Electrical Review - N. Y., March 29, 1899, pp. 195-197,

The text and accompanying drawings of Tesla's lecture "High Frequency 
Oscillators for Electro-therapeutic and Other Purposes," Electrical 
Engineer, November 17, 1898  http://www.tfcbooks.com/tesla/1898-11-17.htm 
explain and show exactly how he did it.  See in particular fig. 7 (
