WONDERFUL” LIGHT.

SEEING IN THE DARK AT 25 MILES.

Seeing in the dark will be an abcomplished fact if the 'wonder ful now ray can be brought to the perfection which its Inventor, Mr: John L. Baird, expects to attain.

Successful laboratory exper!- ments have already proved the possibilities of the discovery. A demonstration of these is to be given to a few members of the Royal Institution shortly, and in January to an audience of 3,000 members of the Physical Society of London.

It was while experimenting with television that Mr. Baird made his great discovery. At first people whose pictures were "telovised" had to sit under extremely power ful lights, so dazzling us to be ni- most blinding. In seeking to over- cone this difficulty Mr. Baird found that the reflection-of-rays outside the usual spectrum of light could be used to transmit pictures of an object..

At one end of the spectrum, in- visible to the human eye, are the ultra-violet rays; at the other end are the ultra-red rays. It is these which are employed, and an elec-i trical apparatus has been fount which will translate, them into light waves appreciable by the human eye. Thus the object in the dark can be seen on a reflector. or recorded.on a photographic film. There are many applications to which this new power may be put when perfected. It would be pos sible, for instance, to take a cine- matagraph film, of the life of animals in the dark, and the pub- lie nay, yet see pletures of beasts of the jungle gathering at the drinking pool in the dead of night.

Sceret experiments are being conducted by the naval, military, and Air Force authorities as to the possible application of the new. discovery to warfare,

Range Of 25 Miles.

Mr. Baird claims that the ultra- red rays can be foenssed on a dis- dant object in the dark in the same. way as the ordinary light rays of a searchlight are now directed. He suggestes that range of 25 miles will be possible to the new ap paratus, thus enabling the a proach of acroplanes or battles ships at night to be detected at a great distance.

Capt. Hutchinson, who, is assó- einted with Mr. Baird in the dis- overy was asked whether the an paratus could be adapted to the use of aeroplane pilots to enable them to land, in the dark, and re plied that he believed it could but that at present its weight would Emit its use to large flying machines.

It is believed also, that the new iscovery will make it easier to see objects at a distance in a fog. This belief is based on the fact that the red rays of light penetrate i far more readily than others.
