INVENTOR OF RAY SEEKNG AVTITE Matthews, Nearly Blind From Action of Invention, Now in New York. By the Associated Prese. NEW YORK, July 30.—Experiments | to find a method of protection against the “death ray” recently discovered by H. Grindell Matthews, the British wireless telephone expert, now vis- ting this country, are already under way, it was learned yestorday, ‘and the inventor of the ray is playing & prominent part in the tests through the impairment of one of his. eyes from the secret properties of the ray. Dr. Henry H. Beers has undertaken research work to determine the nature of the ray and its effect on bodily tissue and discover, if- pos. sible, materials which may be used as insulation. Dr. Beers is treating the inven- tor's eve. which became affected as the resuit of his experiments with the ray, and he hopes he will so improve’ the sight of the eve that the inventor can continue his experi- ments. HOLDS RAY HUMANE. Matthews Says It Could Shock and Not Xill Enemy: % BOSTON, July 30.—H. Grindéll Mat- thews, invenior of the “death ray.” in Boston for a few hours yesterday, de- nied that his invention was a death- dealing weapon and pronounced it the most humane 6f modern war appli- ances. He said that the “ray,” which he prefers to call & beam, could be made merely a means for temporarily disabling a man, or anm army, by shocking either into unconsciousness for a period of heuts. He denied that he had offered the sale af the go-called “death ray’ -to France, and said that England alone. which had already offered to buy it, would be offered the weapon. He said his visit to the United States was in part fer scientific research and in part for rest. ' ] Just how far Mr. Matthews has shared the secret of the ray with Dr. Beers is not known, and Dr. Beers today would not discuss the matter, but it is certain that the physician has been made familiar with the properties of the ray so that he can make independent experiments. The present research is being con- ducted.in _the hope that some material may be found which will shield off, or obstruct, the ray in the same man- ner shat rubber, lead and_platinum give protection against the X-ray and radium ray.

NEW YORK, July 30.—According to a study just completed by the re- search department of the Bankers' Trust Company of New York, the wealth of Germany today is about $55,000,000,000. This figure is arrived at by making allowance for terri- torial losses imposad by the Versailles treaty, the fact being kept in mind that, while some of this territory was carried with it very large resoul of iron ore and potash and industrial works of considerable magnitude, while the occupation of the Saar Basin *had deprived Germany of ex- tensive coal deposits. The fact also was taken into con- sideration that in losing part of Silesia, Germany lost many In- dustrial plants and large iron and zinc deposits, and 42% per cent of all the German coal lying within 500 vards of the surface.
