INVEIBLE RAY. INVENTOR WHO CAN MAKE MEN VANISH. GENIUS OF TWENTY-FIVE. Stvn Pribil, 25-year-old Hungarian preparing a machine which will eh D.e man io maxe himself invisible Already, Stevn can make small ob cis vanish from sight. Soon, hpes, he will be able to do the sam i.n men, horses, aeroplanes, build rgs, etc. a weeK ago, says a writer in a Lon on paper, this young inventor wa .nknown, poor. To-day he is one o ne most sought-after men in th urld. Wealui is within his grasp. J. found him in his studio, only tornxious to demonstrate his ray. Ther s no showmanship about him, ,‘T am not a conjurer,” he said, a ie led me towards a miniature. Stag .ooded with light. “I have only jus lerfected the principle and I have no /et discovered all its applications. Bu .his will show you.” On the little stage was a model o ;wo horses drawing a cart up a hill L'he magic ray was focussed, arid i white horse gradually appeared fron lowhere in front of the other two iVhen the ray had finished its work ;here were three horses. Then al hree disappeared! There is no plate?glass trickery 01 inything of that sort. Optical expert* ind scientists who have seen the de nonstration are astounded. The ray can make anything disap rear as though it never existed—hunan flesh, iron, wood stone. But the present demonstrations an .’hild’s play compared with the thingi Stevn Pribil hopes to accomplish. “The important and vital thing it hat I have discovered the principle,’ ie said. “Application and developnent of it are merely a matter 01 ;ime. “I am making a machine at pres•nt which will make a man disappear There is no reason why the raj ihould not be adjusted to such an in.ensity and frequency as to make any;hing disappear, but the necessary relearch would probably take a goo< leal of money. “My next problem is much the sam« is that which confronted the inventoi >f wireless; how to reduce the siz« >f the necessary ray apparatus, ami -o investigate possibilities. Military possibilities of the magic •ay are to be investigated Imagine :he moral effect of an invisible battleihip opening fire on an enemy fleet! The other day a bank safe had tc >e broken open to see if it contained fold. The invisible ray would have repealed the contents without trouble.

GERMAN BIRTH RATE . I I • I ~* (Own Correspondent —By Air Mail) LONDON, Oct. 22. Satisfaction is expressed in the Ger* man Press at the birth-rate figures for 1935, which show an average of 18.9 per 1000 for tho whole of the Reich. It is pointed out that last year 63,000 more children were born than in 1934, a year which itself showed an excess of 227,000 over 1933. The large increase in 1934 was mainly due to the granting of dowries to brides, introduced by Herr Hitler when he assumed office. The German Press contrasts these figures with those of other countries, especially France and Great Britain,
