THE DEATH RAY.
NEW ZEALANDER CLAIMS TO BE INVENTOR. , h v L'al.'.-' Press Association —Copyright. ' 7 NAPIER, Juno 7. A claim to be the inventor of the “death ray’’ is made by Harry Fyfe, an employee of the Union Steam Ship Company on the wharf. He states that in 1917, while in the New Zealand Artillery in France, he demonstrated with an appliance of his own devising, the possibility of projecting destructive heat rays. He states that he reported the main facts to the war authorities, who asked for further details, but on learning that he would receive no personal return for the invention, lie did not feel disposed to disclose it, and decided to do nothing until he returned to civil life, but then did nothing. He now intends to press his claims for recognition.
