The Sword and the Atopen by Taylor H. Greenfield:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
"IN this story, our new author makes a very ingenious suggestion. The conversion of light into electricity by spectrum gratings he treats as a possibility, and assumes there is no reason why it should not be done sometimes. The idea of using the physiological principle of the action of foreign proteins on the human system to repel an enemy is also an original idea, and with the other furnishes material for an excellent short story, which Mr. Greenfield has worked out in an exceedingly clever manner."
