SAN FRANCISCO [IP)— A “death
ray” capable of ending life at a dis-
tance of one and a half miles is en-
visaged by Henry Fleur, who claims
to have perfected a machine cap-
able of killing insects and animals
at close range.
“A bombardment of ultra short
electrical waves that I send down
a beam of light does the work,” he
explains. “These are attuned to the
normal bodily vibrations of what-
ever animal is killed.
“The waves increase the vibra-
tions to a degree that the individual
molecules In the animal’s body sim-
ply explode.”
Evades Human Application
Fleur, an electrician, recently ac-
quitted on a charge of fraud after
he demonstrated his machine before
a judge and Jury, declined to say
whether human beings could be
killed with his “ray.”
He admitted, however, that he had
found the “vibration rate” of every

jury came during his trial for fraud
on complaint of two men who had
Invested $1,600 in the “death ray”
How It Works
In his basement laboratory, Fleur
adjusted an apparatus that looked
like a giant searchlight and fo-
cussed a beam of light on a small
wire cage crawling with termites.
He turned to a complicated ap-
pearing cabinet connected by wires
with the searchlight, and moved a
dial. Hissing, spluttering electrical
flashes began, but were stopped
quickly by another turn of the dial.
The termites had expired. Ex-
periments on a snake and a lizard
brought the same result. Back in
the courtroom it took the jury only
three minutes to decide Fleur had
perpetrated no fraud,
Fleur said he expects his machine
to prove most valuable In killing In-
sect pests in orchards. He believes
state of Sao Paulo, Brazil, were
valued at about $146,460,000 in
1930 and are estimated to have
climbed to approximately $208,000,-
000 last year, with a higher valua-
tion expected in 1936.
