The Baptist church was filed last
night with most interested audience
and for an hour and a half Montra-
Vile NJ Wood the scientist and in
ventor held its closest attention. Mr..
Wood demonstrated the Ultra violet
rays. throwing them through and on
many surfaces and explaining their
purpose and scientific use in a very
lucid manner. The handwriting ION
the WALL" the illuminated flowers, AMI
the etching of his daughters portrait
by means of the violet rays, were
done by way of demonstration. The
violet ray is the only light that viii
penetrate fog and is used commercial
" and scientifically in many ways.
The Gyroscopes was perhaps the mos.
entertaining of his demonstrations and
the wonderful invention was put
through many interesting tactics. AL
though it cannot be forced or driven
it can be coaxed by one who is its
master and what several men could
not force to the floor Mr.. Wood, by
knowing how, could place on the floor
by touching it with one finger. He
made small airship, which, when
equipped with a small gyroscope,
would sail up and down slack wire,
in a perfectly balanced manner. A
model of a monorail car, with the
gyroscope attached did the same trick.
Mr.. Wood told of many interesting ex-
periences with his inventions and
prophesied the mode of travel in 1929.
He described the recently invented
two wheeled automobile. which BAL
ances perfectly when equipped with
the gyroscope. So that several people
can stand on the 5runningboard and
/ yet the car will keep itself evenly bal
anced The lecture was easily one of
the most scientific and interesting ever
hear in Belfast Mr.. Wood was as
sisted by his daughter Miss Allene M.
Wood. who like her famous father is
an inventor and has worked with him
for years.
