DEATH RAY MACHINE IS INVENTED BY CLEVELAND SCIENTIST eported to have tremendous military possibilities, a successful death ray machine is said to have been invented, after lengthy experiments, by a Cleveland scientist. A partial description of the machine's construction and operating principles was recently offered at a session of the National Inventors’ Congress at Omaha, Nebraska. Privileged witnesses to demonstrations of the machine declared that experiments were successful to a startling degree. Dogs, cats and rabbits were killed instantly, their blood turning to water as the ray was turned upon them. It is reported that the machine has _ been suppressed by the government until such time as it may be needed as a defensive weapon.

The reflector mounted on the barrel of the gun would concentrate the deadly heat rays, and protect the operator from the dazzling glare of exploding magnesium.

It was invented by Prof. Harry May of London, England. Prof. May feels that his new lethal weapon will be instrumental in outlawing war. He thinks that nations, knowing that such a weapon for quick destruction is available, will hesitate to attack each other.

The Cleveland inventor declared that he had stumbled on he deadly rays while experimenting in the treatment of cancer with high- requency radiations. The action of he fatal rays, he declared, is painless and they work by changing he blood into a useless substance, much as light transforms silver salts in photographic processes. Before a group of scientists, it is reported, he once demonstrated that the radiations would kill rats, mice, and rabbits, even when the animals were incased in a thick-walled metal chamber. The rays, Dr Longoria believes, could kill human beings just as easily.

Its inventor, a German who was forced to flee from his native land, hopes to sell the idea to the French government. Scientists believe the operation of the device is based upon the "thermit reaction" now used in certain welding DEATH RAY EFFECTIVE ON SNAKES A ray which proved its effectiveness before a San Francisco jury has been developed by Henry Fleur, Pacific Coast inventor. The apparatus which employs a light beam impregnated with infra-red rays successfully killed a snake in 8% minutes. A lizard was put to death in less than 6 minutes with only 30 seconds required to kill certain 50 * NEXUS APRIL - MAY 2012 www.nexusmagazine.com
