INVENTION TO EXPLODE
WARSHIPS BY LIGHT
Schenectady Scientists Device Now
Being Tested by United States
Government.

Schenectady, n. Y, Sept "a stream
of invisible light waves that will annihi-
late the largest dreadnought afloat or
wither up bOmb-carrying aerOplane has
been produced by William Burr Gibson.
of this city. The instrument is already
in the hands of the United States govern
ment and is undergoing rigid tests.
In a test made by the inventor before
applying for the patent, a charge of dyna-
mite was exploded five miles distant. The
whole apparatus can be easily carried by
a man.
Experts freely predict that GibsOn's in
vention. or discovery, will revolutionize
warfare, as it will make attack by water
or air impossible. With its aid the de-
Tending force could easily explode every
magazine i'm the invading fleet. annihilate
an aerial hotilla, and thus render their
coast defenses impregnable.
The machine is extremely simple, con-
sisting of an ordinary arc light, two
quartz lenses, and seven colOred screens
The apparatus is inclosed in a covered
box, which is divided into two sections
The rear compartment contains the arc
and a reflection lens, which produces
light waves on a large quartz lens, which
in turn refracts the waves to a smaller
quartz lens in focus. Between the two
lenses are colored screens, which absorb
all 'colors of the spectrum with the ex-
ception of ultra violet rays.
when these ultra violet rays impinge
on powder" says Gibson, they cause a
molecular action, setting up friction
which in turn produces the heat neces-
sary to produce the explosion"

WATERS OF OCEANS
MINGLE OCTOBER 10
Atlantic and Pacific Meet with De-
struction of Gamboa Dike-Cele-
bration Planned Here.

With the blowing up of the Gamboa
dixie on October 10, the waters of the At
lantic and Pacific will meet in the Pan
anna Canal and thus practically COM
plete the great American link between
the oceans.
The Gamboa dixie is the last obstruc-
ton separating the waters of the two
oceans. With its removal the canal wa
ters will for the first time enter the
Culebra cut, spreading from Gatun Lake
to the western gates of the canal
At the suggestion of Representative
Stephens of Los Angeles, the Isthmian
Canal commission is arranging with Col.
Goethals for the fixing of definite hour
for the linking Of the waters in order
that appropriate celebrations may take
place at the moment in the United States
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland.
and Seattle are planning great demon
stations for the occasion, and it is eX-
pected that the Atlantic Coast and Gulf
cities will Join in the celebration.
BY October ! the channel from the
Gatun locks to the Atlantic will be
cleared and opened. The Pacific chan
mel to the Mira1ores locks already is
open. The only portion of the canal
then remaining to be flooded will be
that which includes the Culebra cut and
the removal of the Gamboa dixie will
stretch the waters from sea to sea.

SALE OF PROBLEM"
BOOK BRINGS ARREST
Comstock, Guardian of New York;
Moral Welfare" Causes Raid
on Publisher.

New York, Sept. 23.-The offices of
Mitchell Kennerley, a prominent publish
er, were raided by the police today, after
complaint had been sworn out by An
thony Comstock charging Kennerley with
selling and sending through the mails
''lewd. laciviOus, indecent. and filthy
literature. Kennerley was arraigned be
fore United States Commissioner Shields
and held in $3.50 for examination on Oc-
tober.
The book which caused Comstock. the
guardian of New YOrk's moral welfare, -
TO take such drastic action was "Hagar
ReveIly." by DR.. Daniel Carson Good
man. The book was published several
months ago and received unanimous
praise from literary critics. At the same
time ministers. doctors, and many per
sons connected with social welfare work
have praised the book as dealing with
the conditions surrounding shop girls IN
a frank manner and yet being free from
Innuendo.
The story deals with two young girls.
who work in d department store. Both
were brought up in the same environ
ment, and while one remains straight, the
other goes wrong. The moral pointed
by the book is that virtue is a matter
of character and not OF wages.
