II has gone beyond the experimental

apparatus has been lowering off the I.

experiments
The yacht is the rakish Lady Henri
eta, flying the British flag, but under
French ownership. Within her sharp
lines is hidden the revolutionizing
secret which not only France but the
government OF the United States and
ali the powers of Europe have been
seeking ever since wireless waves
have been a fact and wireless pod

the new invention-as yet in its in
fancy-for exploding at any desired
distance from GOO to 5000 yards by

tact with metal.
Briefly this means that Ulivi says
he can detonate the guneotton or the
powder contained in warship's mag
azine by means OF wireless, and the
French Government is seeing If it can
be done.
The infra-red rays Of the solar
spectrum are those mysterious beams
beyond the edge Of the red, invisible
90 the human eye but nevertheless
there. For convenience Ulivi calls
them "F-rays" They are akin to
X-rays In that they can penetrate
metal, but instead Of making objects
visible they develop force beyond the
barriers which can defect the most
powerful projectile, but are as glass

We have reported to our govern

seriously, "and everything we have
said must be kept a profound state

It is no breach of confidence to say,
however that the commission has
unanimously reported in favor of
France securing the invention without
delay, no matter what the price. This
consists, stripped of technicalities, OF
special projectile emitting return in
fra-red rays which find the exact dis
tance and the exact radio-magnetic
capacity of metallic objects. When
these are determined with precision
the Ulivi Fray is then shot out
from its station afloat or ashore and a
long distance explosion takes place in
stantly with mathematical accuracy.
This is not merely Ulivis hope of

made near Villers prove that it can be
