Solemn young Dr. Lawrence would be horrified to find himself associated with the "death-rays"' of lurid pseudoscience. Actually he was only protecting himself and hi's co-workers from the effects of a beam of 10,000,000 neutrons a second generated with the help of his electromagnet for use in straightforward atomic experiments...
