RADIO INVENTOR SAYS
 FANS MAY ALSO WATCH
Predicts "The Prismatic Ring" Will Visualize
 Far Off Events

Baltimore, April 7.-Invention of a device known as 'the prismatic ring" will enable radio fans to see the next Olympic games as well as hear the cheering, 1t Is predicted in a report to the American Chemical society, by the inventor; c. Francis Jenkins of Washington. D. C.
 He also promised that the stay-at- homes may see the presidential in- augural ceremonies from their own fireside; see a distant football, polo, or baseball game as 1t is happening; regatta mardi gras, flower festival or baby parade. while these things are actually happening.
 More essentially applied, Jenkins says that the extension work of the great universities can be more vivid ly and more retentively brought to the distant farm boy and girl by radio than in any other manner, for the teacher can illustrate his audi ble instruction to the student in the most inaccessible place.
 In military work the chiefs of army and navy. it Is declared, may see at headquarters all that a lens looks upon as 1t is carried aloft in scouting airplane.
 Jenkins explained that still pic lures are now excellently done both by radio and by wire, and that as the speed of the apparatus is the only difference between stills and movies, the public may confidently expect radio moves soon. It Is now daily laboratory demonstration. "The prismatic ring is a new contri- button to optical science" he report said, adding:
 By means of this prism a tiny point of light is made to travel across a photographic plate in a sue cession of parallel adjacent lines, the strength of the light constantly changing by reason of tho varying strength of the incoming radio sig nals."
 The American Chemical society is in convention here.
