His Invention Not Yet Perfected.

(Canadian Press)

NEW YORK, N. Y., July 2i). — zealously guard-lug the secret of hLs invention. known international. ly as the "ilcath ruy" M. Urindcll Matthews, tho English inventor ar. rived Saturday 011 the steamship Paris for a short visit i11 this coun- try. llc llenietl that he had come to tho linited Slates to interest the government or any one else in his liiveiitioii.

The lnvantor's first statemcnt uplia arrival was that the use of the lcr111 "death ray" for his device was 1a misnomer. lie said it was in reality tin "electric beam" anil that he had never called it any- thing else.

The inventor declared that the ray could, if "properly developed". destroy a city like New York. lie also stated it could "paralyze whole armies.

"At present," ho said, "my ray operates upon hall a kilowatt. I am now tievi-lopliig u machine in England that will operatc on lilly kilowatts. ln the course of six or eight mcnths l shall so perfect my invention that l w-ili have a ray that could work great destruction.

He ileclnreil that four or live na- tions hail offered large sinus for the invention, but that upon its perfection it would be uttered to Great Britain and no other nation. He denied that he took a trip to France to interest the Franc 80V- eiumeut in it. .'1‘hu in enter said his claim that the r11)’ would paralyze armies was based upon experiments ‘in which "killed mo mouse and four rats. lie suid um a test which he save in E118- lsad in which the British govern- ment experts found the ray to be harmless, was unfavorable because he did not "ltavo time to make the proper iirianizeuients, being rushed and crowded." The fear that his invention might be stolen by spies catiseil him to comiuct his cxi1i'1‘|' merits on an island in the 113111411511 clianiii-l, he said.
