A DEADLY RAY.
Details have been, recently published of I an extraordinary discovery which, it ‘s claimed, will render war impossible. The "News.of the Woidd," in which an interview with the inventor appears, , however, does not guarantee all that is . stated regarding this discovery. "With- ; out moving from this room," said' the discoverer to the interviewer, "I could * destroy, every living thing you see **n 5 the street below, and nobody would j know who had thus hurried all these . people into, eternity." This mysterious, • dendlv agency has been offered to the ■ ■ British Government, says the newspaper. : Doctors who give the high frequency | electrical treatment v have found it a source of obscure and deadly disease in themselves. The inventor, therefore, experimented till he was able "to isolate a > ray which • might paralyse armies." Small animals subjected to it died, and by a mechanical device the ray was directed on a horse four miles away. The beast immediately dropped down dead.
