rail car. and Ultra Violet Ray. in which he was
assisted by his daughter. Miss Allene M.Wood.
Prof. Wood is well known to scientists and in
ventors throughout this country. Nearly one
hundred patents have been awarded him, the
majority of which are in practical use today.
In 1889 he was appointed district engineer of
the Edison Co. for the Pacific Coast, and in
1880 was in charge of the engineering depart
ment of the North Pacific Exposition in Port
land. Oregon. He has made special study of
the gyroscope on which he has made improve
ments. and he prophecies that in 1920
we will be travelling through space from
mountain top to mountain top along sim
gle slender strand in the monorai car.
scope sailed up and down slack wire,
and model of a monorail with the gyroscope
attached did the same trick. Prof. Wood
demonstrated the Ultraviolet rays, throwing
them through and many surfaces and ex-
planning their purpose and scientific use in a
very lucid manner. The handwriting ION the
wall" the Illuminated flowers, and the etching
of his daughters portrait by means of the
violet rays, were done by way of demonstra-
ton. The violet ray is the only light that will
penetrate fog and is used commercially and
scientifically in many ways. He told of many
interesting experiences with his inventions
and described the recently invented two Wheel
ed automobile, which balances perfectly when
equipped with the gyroscope, so that several
people can stand on the runningboard and vet
the car will keep itself evenly balanced. The
lecture, was one of the most interesting ever
heard in Belfast and Prof. Wood was ably
assisted by his daughter, who is also an in
ventor and has worked with him for years.
