VRN ALADDIN EXHIBITS WARES Westinghouse Engineer Gives Demonstration Before Board of Trade Members. Millions of electrons, unseen but ef- fectively harnessed, answered the beck and call of a modern scientist last night and wrought wonders that amazed an audiénce & more than 1,000 at the No- vembel meeting of the Board of Trade. ‘This modern Aladdin had his lamps with him and with their help he set the electrons jumping in a fashion that made .nere sham of the Aladdin of fic- tion and an amateur of the Willlam Tell of legend. For instance, the scientist, Dr. Phil- 1?;5 ‘Thomas, Westinghouse research en- gineer, produced Robert J. Cottrell, ex- ecutive secretary of the Board of Trade, in the role of William Tell, jr., and shot an apple off his head with a beam of light Dr. Thomas attributed it all to elec- trons—smallest known units of matter --at work in a system of apparatus, including photoelectric cells and other electrical devices. The William Tell act was the climax of & long series of scientific demonstra- tions. Among these a ray of light was shot across the ball room of the Wil- lard Hotel, where the demonstrations were staged, and other lamps there were flashed on and off in response to its impulse. Another lamp was directed at an electric fan turning at 1,800 revo- iutions per minute, and the fan ap- peared to be standing still or to be turning backward or forward, slowly or rapidly, as the sclentist wished. Preceding the show of sclentific “sorcery,” an outline of some of the progress in scientific developments and their practical application was giv: a by Dr. 8. M. Kintner, vice president of the Westinghouse Electric & Manufactur- ing Co. Dr. Thomas opened his demonstra- tions with an explanation of the elec- tron. ‘Whereas the atom once was consid- cred the smallest unit of matter, mod- ern science has discovered and makes use of a unit infinitely smaller, calling it the electron. ‘To_illustrate the difference in size, Dr. Thomas said if an atom were the tize of an elephant the electron, in comparison, would be the size of just & common garden variety of flea. Outdoing the pre-prohibition story of the man who attempted to blow out an electric light, Dr. Thomas blew a breath on an apparatus and every light in the big hall was extinguished. Then to show that it was not an ac- cident, the scientist struck a match and held it before a special lamp. The lights in the hall were instantane- cusly lighted again. ‘To satisfv any doubting Thomas, the scientist then reversed the process. ‘This all was caused, he explained, by the effect of the match light and the moisture of his breatl against the very delicate constitution of a small shade at the base of the electric bulb and its contacting agents. He then demonstrated how light can be_made to count. Dialing a number much as one dials a telephone pumber, then speaking a command into a microphone, in one machine, he set up a series of hes in & beam of light which struck a sen- sitive plate in & second machine on the opposite side of the room. According to the impulses of the dialing, various colored lights flashed on and off. fan was started running, then stopped. One of the last demonstrations was that of a light ray machine which cerved as an almost human fireman. “mall balls of material tied to a large oreen were lighted.

When a beam of light rom @ blaze reached the “eye” of the machine it opened a contact which turned on a fire extinguisher, attached nearby, which in turn put out the blaze, then turned off the chemical | stream, following which the machine ;umned its trail in search of other | ires. Dr. Kintner, in describing many of | the inventions that followed discovery | of the practical use of alternating elec- | tric current, said that modern science | is so complex that one man no longer | can master the entire fleld. | This has brought about development | of large scientific laboratories, where | groups of scientists, trained in special- | ized lines, can pool their knowledge to | produce the modern scientific inven- tions, he said. | George W.
