CHEMICAL EYE"
FOR HIDDEN LIGHT
Discovery VIII BE OF Great Help In
WarfaTe-Invisible Light Detected
BY Those for Whom III Is Intended.

CHICAGO. Dec. 30-The development
Of a chemical eye'F through which rays
of ordinarily invisible light could be seen
and which the discoverer said would
prove of great help in warfare, was ex-
planned last night by Professor Robert W.
Wood OF Johns Hopkins university, in am
address before the convention of the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science.
Professor Wood demonstrated a ma
chine of his invention which produced Ill
tra-violet rays invisible to the naked eye.
His audience then viewed the rays
through a wide angle telescope device
which caused them to become visible and
to take on a phosphorescent appearance.
These rays and the detecting device
were the result of the war. Professor
Wood said, the government having asked
a group of scientists to produce a light
which would be visible to those who
knew of it but would be invisible to the
enemy The discovery was made shortly
after the armistice.
''Airplanes, battleships or land forces
could use it for signaling he said. Also
it could be used on aviation fields for
night landing of airblanes. 1t would
point out the landing field; but would be
visible only to the planes equipped with
