Alta, Sunday Monday.
] In this age of marvellous machinery
| It is not as easy as one might think
even to indicate a new invention that
seems sensation Yet It was required
OF Porter Emerson Browne. author of
Mabel Normand's new Goldvyn star
ring vehicle, Joan of Plattsburg," to
describe for his story an invention so
tremendous that it would stop the
war IL 1t might be put into univer-
sal practice.
According to the story of Joan Of
Plattsburg" there is a celebrated IN
ventor namd Ingleton visiting the
officers OF the great military concen-
tration camp at Plattsburg. to show
them under instructions from Wash.
ington, the operation of a ne wdevice
which he has just made. This device
is sought by band of spies operat-
ing under cover of an orphan asylum
in the neighborhood: and the frustra-
tion of their efforts by Joan. the char
orphan OF the institution, constitutes
the action.
In the world of fiction probably the
most famous example of writer an
ticipating a great invention is that In
which Jules Verne describes the sub
marine. Others have occurred in the
works of II. G. Wells. and in the SCI
entific writings of Camille Flam-
marion, not to speak of a host of
lesser celebrities.
Brownies contribution is what
might almost be called 'devilishly in
genius" 1t is a machine projecting
a mysterious beam of light which will
explode any ammunition upon which
it is directed. Thus. all that would
be necessary to defeat the enemy
would be to turn this light upon them
and all their ammunition would blow
up automatically, even to the cart
ridges in the belts enclrcling their
bodies. Their guns would go off In
their hands.
This remarkable invention Is used
in the photoplay for one of its most
thrilling situations. a spy il trying
to steal the device from the room of
the inventor when the guard attacks
him. The guard secures a revolver
and Is about to use Il when the device
is accidentally turned so that its
deadly beam strikes the weapon. The
revolver expIodes and the guard is
wounded. Thus Il Is that the spy es-
capes.
Whether or not this photoplay viii
stir any ambitious inventors TO work
along the lines indicated by Mr..
Browne remains to he seen. In all
events the idea is Of the kind that
should prove genuine inspiration to
the mechanical mind: and rntil It Is
developed II will remain a brilliant fic-
tlon worthy OF being suostantiated
In fact.
