THE DEVIL’S RAY
Grindell Matthews, an Englishman,
claims to have discovered a new ray of
such potential destructive power as
the “viril” foretold by Bulwer in one
of his fanciful earlier tales .
But England was not impressed by
the claims of the inventor. He took
his mechanism to France, where he
has received and been given every fi
nancial and official aid essential to the
further development of his devil child.
The history of the machine gun and
the submarine tells of their inventors
going begging to other lands than
their own to dispose of their invention.
It may be that England ineptly has
lost a tremendous vital opportunity,
and that France has secured a weapon
that will fortify her against feared
German attack as potent as any Ger
man can bring against her, for it is
said German inventors also have de
veloped a devil child kindred with one i
produced by Grindell Matthews.
It is claimed that the new ray can
be used to put an army to route, de
stroy fleets of airplanes, paralyze the ,
motors of automobiles and demoralize
fleets at sea.
But will even this latest demoniacal j
agency operate to spell the doom of
war, as its inventor claims ? The same
claim has been made for gun powder,
for other high explosives, for shrap-:
nel and poisonous gases. But these
did not stop war. They rather stim
ulated the search for still more terri
ble agencies for human destruction.
Still, if anything could make Avar so
tremendously and horribly destructive,
as to make humanity recoil from even
the consideration of conflict, it would
seem the controllable lightning should
be that thing. In this view, if Grin
dell Matthews is right, his devil child
ultimately may come to be regarded
as science’s most beneficial gift to
mankind. But what a hell’s cauldron
must boil and bubble, and overflow
ing, destroy multitudes of human be
ings before man is made to realize
that Premethean fire at last has purg
ed the world of war and all its sick
ening terrors and fiendish cruelties!
CABLE NEWS SCARCE
Up to the time of going to press
today we have received very little
cable news from the outside world, so
we are obliged to give our patrons
territorial news, which we hope they
will find interesting, and a change
from the political questions of a world
with which we have very little to
say. Those who read the Seward paper
will miss the outside news no doubt
but we hope to receive our regular
service again tomorrow.
We have never been able to figure
this out—those who say there is noth
ing in the paper, always sob the most
when they miss it; and those who take
the other papers from our neighboring
cities, that is, some of them, are the
ones that are doing the sobbing—
