New York. Dec. 10. — Nikola Tesla, Inventor and winner of the 1915 Nobel physics prize, would not give any details regarding the new destructive invention for which he has Just filed patent applications. Although Doctor Tesla insists there is nothing sensational about the invention, it is said that it equals, in possibility of destruction, the mythical thunderbolts of Thor. Suffice it to say that the destructive invention will go through space with a speed of 300 miles a second, a manless airship without propelling engine or wings, sent by electricity to any desired point on the globe on its errand of destruction, if destruction Its manipulator wishes to effect. Ten miles or a thousand miles, it will be all the same to the machine, the Inventor says. Straight to the point, on land or on sea, it will be able to go with precision, delivering a blow that will paralyze or kill, as is desired. A man in a tower on Long Island could shield New York against ships or army working a lever, if the inventor's anticipations become realizations.
