aerial navigation made by foreign eX-

American army stationed at Fort
Omaha has worked out an electric In

The invention. he says, is TO be OK

The machine is said TO project
through the air column of electric
energy of almost any desired strength

many hundred yards The Inform

Such an electric column would
queer every mechanism on a warship,
stop the engines, annul the dynam0s,
Kill the signaling apparatus, make the

men by shock alone, and might even
