TESLA'S U-BOAT DESTROYER
He Has Invented an Electric Ray
That Works at Long Range.

Rumors have been printed that Mr..
Telsa had invented an electric ray that
would destroy submarines at n consid-
erable distance. These rumors, while
distorted, are based upon actual facts
Mr.. Tesla's device IS tremendously
powerful electric ray that while It will
not destroy a submarine, will be re-
Elected back from it in such way as
to reveal its presence and position.
thus making its capture or destruction
comparatively easy matter. Describ-
ing It to II. Winfield Secor, Mr.. Telsa
said:
If we can shoot out a concentrated
ray comprising a stream of minute
electric charges vibrating electrically
at tremendous frequency, say millions
OF cycles per second, ard then inter-
cept this ray, after 1t has been re-
Elected 10y a submarine hall, for ex-
ample. and cause this intercepted ray
to illuminate a fluorescent screen sim
liar to the X-ray method on the same
or another ship. then our problem of
locating the hidden submarine will
have been solved.
Suppose, for example, that vessel
Is fitted with such an electric ray pro-
5ector. The average ship has avail
able. says. from 10000 to $1,000
Horsepower. The exploring ray could
be flashed out -intermittent,y. and thus
II would be possible to hurl forth a
very formidable beam of pulsa ting
electric energy, involving a discharge
Of hundreds Of thousands of horse
power.
"imagfRe that the ray has been shot
cat and that In sweeping thru the
water II encounters the hunll OF
submarine. What happens? Just this.
The ray would be reflected, and by an
appropriate device wo would inter-
cept and translate this reflected ray,
RS for instance by allowing the ray to
fmpinge on a phosphorescent screen.
acting In a similar way to the x-ray
screen. The ray would be invisible to
the unaided eye.
"CorAder that q concentrated ray
from a searchlieht is thrown on a bal
loon ut night When the spot OF light
strikes the balloon, the latter at once
becomes visible from many different
angles The same effect would be
created with the electric ray II prop
erly applied. When the ray struck the
rough huh Of q submarine IL would be
reflected, but not In a concentrated
beam-lt would spread out; which is
just what we want. Suppose several
vessels are steaming along In com
peny; II becomes evident that several
of them will intercept the reflected
ray and accordingly be warned OF the
presence Of the submarine or subma-
riner.
''The Teutons are clever. you know.
very. very clever. but we shall beat
thorn" said Doctor Tesla confidently.

HOLD YOUR COTTON,
FARMERS ARE URGED

Atlanta, Ga, September 13.-Di-
rector Lem B. Jackson, OF the state
bureau of markets, has authorized a
statement urging the farmers OF the
state and of the south to hold their
cotton" for minimum of Is cents"
Statistics" says Mr.. Jackson,
" show that during the past twelve
months the worlds consumption ex-
ceeded 2l000.000 bales. while the
worlds production was but S1S,000,000
bales
But for our big 1914 surplus there
would have been an actual shortage OF
100000 bales
The government estimate for 1917
shows that this will be short crop.
Three successive short crops exhaust
the surplus from preceding years. and
the entire crop Of 1917 will have been
consumed long before the clese OF
the cotton trade this year.
The government has fixed the price
OF this years wheat crop at 81 20 per
bushel, or, roughly, full two and one
half times the average for the past ten
years, Considering the extreme high
cost Of producing cotton under present
conditions, we believe that cotton
should not be sold for less than two
and one-half times what it has aver
aged for ten years. In either words,
we believe that middling cotton should
bring a minimum of Is cents. and that
anything less is unfair to the southern
cotton grower. A bale of Is cents
cotton today will buy no more -four,
meal. meat, lard. cloth or steel than
would a bale of l0-cent cotton 4 few
years ago
During the past 10 years the price
OF cotton has averaged II cents, and
wheat 81 cents per bushel. On this
basis 81 wheat is equivalent to ascent
cotton, and 500 wheat is equal to q
cent cotton. The comparative prices
OF the two. for the ten-year period
has been.
