NEW PHOTOGRAPHY
OVERCOMING HAZE AND FOG. SPECIAL EXPERIMENTS. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) London, October 30. The War Office and the Admiralty are interested in infra red ray photography in consequence of which special experiments have been initiated at the physical laboratory at Teddington. The new photographic plates overcome haze and fog and give a definition as sharp at 20 miles as at 100 yards. If applied in warfare it is suggested that a smoke screen for a battle fleet would be rendered useless, and that aircraft would be able to photograph a battlefield and its fortifications while hidden in the clouds. Liners, too, would be able ~to speed through a fog because, they would know the position of ships ahead, and scientists would be able to search a vaster area of the universe. The discovery may ultimately be the means of deciding the existence of life on other planets.
