I, Jenkins, pres- ident of the Jenkins laboratories of Washington, D. C. Dr, Jenkins is the inventor of a means of tran mitting and receiving pictures by radio and it was in connection with the recelving device of the radie ploture set that the signals were discovered, he told the students, At the suggestion of Professor Cobb of the Amherat astronomical department, Dr, Jenkins sald, he set up his receiving set in his labor- atory a short time ago and left it in condition to recelve pletures for several hours. Jn Dr. Jenkin's machine, the pictures are produced on a roll of films which pass slowly | through the set, ready to record continuous pictures of gnything that jmlnm pass through the air. When the roll of films was de- veloped, on it were found first & scries of strange characters and then seven distinct likenesses of.a man, followed by more characlers and more characters and more ple- | tures until the cnd of the strip was reached. Dr. Jepkins belleves {hat no other station In the sountry was sending out pictures at the time and | as there is nothing in the labora- | tory that' would produce any such affect, he Is at a joss to explain the phenomenon. According to Dr. Jenkins, Pro- fessor Cobb took the roll of films to the chief code official at signal corps headquarters in Washington but efforts to decipher the characters on the fllm pere unsuccessful, JFurther experimbnts performed un- | der similar conditions have had no such results; Dr, Jenkins said.
