TRIBUTE TO AN ENEMY

NEW RAY MAKE'S MEN INVISIBLE!

The German navy's tribute to a dead enemy: Half-musting the ensign for Lord Jellicoe's funeral.

Lord Jellicos's funeral was broadcast and relayed through- out France and Germany-proof of the respect in which he was held abroad, An even more affecting tribute was provided by the act of the German Navy in flying, all its warships' flaga at half-mast in honour of a former foo.

Three Days. To Live

Austrian, in London Says-

"My Invention

Has Possibilities"

THE

man who claims to have invented a ray of invisibility has just arrived in London from Budapest. He has brought with him a minia- ture edition of his apparatus, from| which, he says, he can produce a ray that will:

Make invisible to spectators a man or an object upon which it is played;

Penetrate a locked door, and reveal to people outside what is going on inside;

(For instance, make a man invisible, but leave his hat visible, or make a juggler invisible and leave in full view the balls with which he is juggling).

In fact, if this ray will do all that Mr. Stefan Pribil, its inventor, says it will, the magic cloak of invisibility of the old fairy tales has come, true, and the Invisible Man is a reality.

I met Mr. Pribil to-day in his West End hotel, said a correspondent. He is a young Hungarian of 25, the son of a Hungarian major.

Hauptmann Talks': Dead Man's Word Might Save Him

Once again the ghost of Isador Fisch, dead German furrier, haunts Bruno Richard Hauptmann, on Friday sentenced to die for the murder of the Lindbergh baby.

Hauptmann has one chance of life-the New Jersey Governor's prerogative of pardon,

The New York Evening Past, quoted by Reuter, prints a Kenan- tional story "from sources HO authoritative that they cannot be ignored," that Hauptmann has con- fessed that he only entered the picture after the kidnapping.

But it needs the evidence of the deed Fisch to save him.

According to the alleged confes

Kion:

He said that he chanced upon the invisibility invention while he was trying to discover a cinema film that would show up in three dimensións, instead of the usual two.

He was fiddling about with mer- eury lamps, high voltage currents, and rays passing through violet quartz filters, he said, when sud denly some things in his laboratory disappeared before his eyes, Ile switched off the rays, he says, and they reappeared. All excite ment, he set out to discover why,
