Herr Stefan Pribill, twenty. five-year-old Hungarian inventor of an electric ray apparatus which; he claims, makes "the Invisible man" at last a reality, demonstrated his invention to me in a Vienna hotel.
On a small lghted stage Herr Pribill placed a chair, which was specially treated to make it resist the rays.
The cigarettes and the doll were placed on the chair... There was a buzzing noise. After three minutes the cigarettes and the idoll had vanished. Only the
empty chair remained.
Sceptical, I asked Herr Pribill if he could make my hand in- visible. He said, "Yes."
