WORLD ANNIHILATION

World annihilation by waves is the startling possibility held out by a young Guildford wire- less engineer, who claims to have invented a new death-ray.

John Morgan Symes is a pale, blue-eyed, innocent-looking young man of 28, with a disarming smile. But to hear Mr. Symes expound his ambitions for destroying armies by the pressure of a button is to know that appearances are deceptive.

Nor is the large black box, which. contains his great secret, and which he guards so carefully, calculated to inspire trust.

No actual large scale test has yet been made with the Symes's Death-Ray. For if there had--ac- cording to the inventor nobody would be left to tell the tale. **
