VISION IN FOG

REMARKABLE DISCOVERY EXTRACT OK WJLD FLOWER. LONDON, October 2. ' The People,' u conservative Sunday newspaper, describes a discovery made by a Liverpool chemist as the greatest since radio. Men will be enabled, it says, to don spectacles and see as clearly in n log or in darkness as in brilliant sunshine. The discovery is n chemical compound extracted from a wild flower, and when applied in an emulsion for cinema films it permits of the projection of pictures in their natural colours with the same depth as ordinary vision—more real than the finest stereoscopic effects. Eour-pennyworth of the mixture will be sufficient, it is stated, to treat I,oooft of film, and the additional photographing projection , apparatus only a lew pounds. Successful demonstrations were held recently in a cinema at Great Brosby in Lancashire. Dr Goebbcls, German Minister for Enlightenment and Propaganda, is seeking the German rights for the invention, for which the claim is also made that it will permit of films being taken in a fog. The invention makes the thinner garments worn by film actresses Irnnsparcnt. Bedroom scenes will thus become impos-iibli>, as llvr'i tints will, bo clearly visible.
