WE joke about the probable successor to the "talkies"-the "amellics"—and the days when we shall have the appropriate odours for our screen drama,
here.
They're no joke. They're just about.
An apparatus for synchronising smells with pictures is among the exhihibits on view at the International Exhibition of Inventions in London.
"For instance," a description of this inven- tion states, "when a scene of a flek of violets is shown, violet perfume is released in the building. The device is particularly adaptable to shorts, cartoons, and general advertising."
A whole room to himself at the exhibition has been allocated to a wireless wizard who per forms miracles.
He peers into one little metal disc, and a wire- less set set starts up at the other end of the room. There is no visible connection. He turns his head and peers into another dise 18in. away and the' wireless set atops,

"I don't know," the inventor, Major Raymond Phillips, replied cheerfully,

"Here's another funny thing," he continued. "I place a glass Insulator on the floor for you to stand on. You hold your right hand in the middle of the space between the two discs. Nothing happens, Now you hold your loft hand there"
And at once the wireless started up. His other gadgets include an in- frared ray device for checking motor-cars that are exceeding the speed limit, and a light-ray device wich can be adjusted so that you turn on the wireless in the room by walking through the doorway.
An expert in the Department of Fisheries has invented a lock thot can be opened with a bus ticket-if the ticket is perforated with a cer tain key pattern.
