USE INVISIBLE II6HT IN WAR
INVENTION WILL PERMIT TRANS
MISSION OF SIGNALS DURING
' DAYLIGHT
Baltimore. —Invisible light is open
ing up a new field for the transmis
sion of secret signals in warfare and
for the detection of chemical frauds
and forgeries. Dr. Robert W. Wood,
professor of experimental physics at
Johns Hopkins university, asserted
a* a public cession «of the sixty-ninth
meeting of the American Chemical so
ciety.
Infra-red rays, the long light waves
which ordinarily produce no color sen-
Ration on the eye. cpn be employed, he
explained, in mlllltary signal lamps
for flashing signals which can be seen
only by observers using field glasses
equipped with a special screen simi
lar to that in the lamp.
"To an enemy not equipped with
like apparatus," he said, "these rays
are invisible. Signals can be trans
mitted in this- manner in full sun
light for a distance of from five to
eight miles, depending on atmospheric
conditions.
"It has been found that these rays
cause a marked change in the appear
ance of objects. An airplane, for in
stance, could be painted with enemy
insignia, however, would not
mislead friendly troops equipped with
special binocclars by which the true
Insignia would be visible. A camou
flagued plane would thus be saved
from attack by the anti-aircraft bat
teries on its own side.
"This property of certain pigments
and dyes to alter their relative lumi
nosity when illuminated by near infra
red rays is now being used to pro
duc» stage effects. A drop can be
painted so a# to represent a summer
scene under ordinary light and a win
ter scene under near infra-red rays."
He then demonstrated how ultra
violet light, the shorter rays at the
other end of the spectrum, illuminated
a phosphorescent screen at Jhe other
end of the room, although the rays
themselves were invisible.
Los Angeles Will Fly to Bermuda.

freexing mixture during her trip to
Bermuda. She will be tested thor
oughly between April 10 and 16 before

On the flight to Porto Rico the Los
Angeles is expected to proceed to

BODY OF COLLINS
TAKEN FROM GAVE
MINER REACHES BODY BY OPEN
ING OLD SHAFT; BROTHER
PAYB EXPENSE 3.
Cave City, Ky.—Rapidly digging and
cribbing their way from the 47 foot
level to the bottom of the original &5-
foot shaft, then through a winding 26-
foot lateral, workmen led by W. H.
Hunt, miner, again came upon the
body of Floyd Collins, cave exptyrer,
who died after 17 days entombment In
Sand Cave when trapped by a rock
fall.
Faster progress was made than had
' been anticipated, officials in charge of
I the work said, because the concrete
which was poured in the lateral and
which was intended to seal Collins in
his natural tomb had not hardened
even though it had been there nearly
two months. The damp condition ot
the cavernous recesses would not per
mit the cement to harden, miners ex
plained.
Hunt said he expected to have the
body to the surface by Tuesday or
Wednesday. He said it would be n»
cessary to further extend the lateral
entirely around the huge rock which
pins Collins by his feet. It also will
be necessary to crib the excavation
entirely around the rock, he said, es
timating the distance to be 10 feet.
This done. Hunt said if no other
method would permit the lifting of the
mammoth rock from the body, the
rock would be dynamited; small
charges being used until the rock was
chipped away sufficiently to permit its
lifting and recovery of the body.
Stockton, Cal. Homer Collins,
brother of Floyd Collins, at present in
this city, when notified that W. H.
Hunt, a miner, had reached within a
few feet of his brother's body, said:
"That's good news. I have been
paying Hunt to dig far the body of
Floyd so that It could be moved to
the crystal cave he discovered. I ex
pect to return home to Cave City as
soon as I have enough money to pay
Hunt for his work, which will be in a
few "weeks more and then I will see
that a suitable monument is erected
for Floyd in front of the crystal cave
and the casket enclosed in a steel box.
