Show HIS ELECTRIC FORT THOMAS A Is ie one of the maist remarkable geniuses of all times his hie achievements in the utilization of electricity are so wonderful that when he makes a statement ahead of what he be can and intends to do it is in not fafe cafe to discredit his amer assertion tion he has baa furnished a description of his new invention for either paralyzing or kill ing an army by electricity its application might either put on end to war or to the human race here it is if it is simple as A B C I 1 have never spoken or written about it before with twenty five men in a fort I 1 can make that fort absolutely impregnable as far as assault is ia concerned and I 1 should only need twenty five men in the fort to do it this Is ia not guesswork guess work but a matter of absolutely scientific certainty in fact face twenty five men would be a very liberal garrison rr son some ome years a ago w when en t the e wires es loaded with heavy 0 electric e t rio charges began ga to go 0 up everywhere I 1 predicted t that at the there would be danger of the firemen receiving deadly shooks shocks by the elbo electricity running down the streams of water which might cross the wires the insurance people laughed at the idea but I 1 tried it on a oat cat and the cat and I 1 found my theory to 6 be true that is to say I 1 did and the cat found it out nut if there is another world for oats cats he never know knew anything about it in this world in each fort I 1 would put an alternating machine of volts capacity one wire would be grounded aman A man would govern a stream of water of about pounds pres pressure to the square inch with which volts of alternating current would be connected the man would simply move this stream of water back and forth with his bis hand playing on the enemy as they advanced and mowing them down with absolute precision every man touched by the water would complete the circuit get the full force of the alternating aeterna al terna ing current and n never ever know what happened to him the men trying to take the fort by assault though they might come by tens of thousands thousand against a handful would be cut to the ground bound beyond any hope of escape foreign ireian soldiers undertaking to whip america could walk around such a fort ss as mine but they never could go through it it would no be necessary to deal out absolute death unless the operator felt like it he could modify the current t gently hen so as simply to stun everybody then walk outside his fort pick up the stunned gunned generals and oth others erts worth keeping for ransom or elchan exchange e make maff prisoners also of the others if if convenient or it if not convenient turn on the full force of the current play the hoe on them once more and send them to the happy hunt bunting grounds for good |
