NEW YORK, July 11 — Discovery of a force ray that would destroy an army 100 miles away has been announced by the inventor, Dr. Nikola Tesla.
In the interests of peace, Dr. Tesla said he plans to place the ray at the disposal of the Geneva disarmament conference.
The force ray, Dr. Tesla said, would consist of particles, driven electrically and projected in vast curtains, miles high and 100 miles long. The speed of the particles — traveling at velocities of 50,000,000 volts — was described by him as giving the ray its destructive powers.
