SCIENTIFIC METHOD OF KILLING

Stream Of Power With Range Of 20 Miles

WALLS MAKING STATES IMMUNE FROM INVASION

Edison's greatcat riyal — the who perfected alternating man current and discovered the cosmic 'ray -- now rovenia that he has evolved a startling Invention that will kill at a range of 200 miles, project an impregnable wall of power, at the same distance, make a country immune from enemy. in- vasion, achieved undreamed-of re- aults in television, and transform the relations between nations."

He is Mr. Nikola Tesla. the famous, selèntist, father of radio television and power transmis-i alon His invention, he declares, is not a death-ray, but a method of transmitting a hitherto unknown source of energy by transmitting, "particles" far more powerful than rays of any kind.

Stream Thinner Than Hair

Mr. Tesla here outlinua, the principles of his discovery, which he believes will change the course; of history.

"My apparatus," he says, "pro- Jects part.cles which may be rela- tively large or of microscopic di- munalons making it possible to convey to a small area, at a great; distance, trillions of times more elergy than is possible with rays, of any kind.

"The system enables, many thou-j sands of horse-power to be trans- mitted by a stream thinner than a hair, so that nothing can resist. The same method makes it possible) to achieve undreamed-of results in television because there will be no limit to the intensity of luminá-j tion, aize of the picture, or dis- tance of projection."

Mr. Tesla's Invention requires a large plant, but he is convinced that, whatever the existing obuta- elen-to-its adoption, it will be in universal se in time.
