Union Workers Spoil

the Food

French Gaumont

Contemporaneous Comedy. Length, 527 ft.

(Vive lo Sabotage)

The Unionist in France dearly loves the doctrine that he

haa the right to spoil his own work when his employer is under

the ban, and while the workman has not quit his job, the

baker's man spoils the bread — the barber cuts bis customer —

i the hatter smashes the customer's hat — and the down-trodden

J laborer indulges in other gaieties which finally drive an

innocent old couple to suicide by means of a charcoal Bre. But

Fate decreed tfcat even the charcoal worker had spoiled the

|p! charcoal which gave off no gas, and the couple were saved.

The Soldier's Helmet

French Gaumont

New Comedy

the cunning doctor, by a masterly stroke of genius, separates
the soldier from the helmet.

Scratch My Back

English Gaumont

Excellent Comedy Length, 317 ft.

Shows what an angel child can do — when the angel
child is a boy of the period, who knows what itch pollen will
do to a man when dropped down his back. The victim backs
into innumerable difficulties while looking for relief, but
reaches the limit and arrest when he scratches himself against
a policeman.

THE RECOGNIZED STANDARDS THi§©U©&8@UT THE

EDISON RHEOSTAT

UNDERWRITER'S MODEL

Approved by The New York Board of Fire Underwriters and the Department oj
Water Supply Gat and Electricity

The above' Rheostat is the result of a series of careful experiments and tests
aimed to produce an apparatus to meet every requirement of Municipal Authorities
and Motion Picture Exhibitors. The resistance is built up with individual coils
of "Climax*' wire, and any single coil may be replaced without disturbing any
other coil, by simply loosening four set screws. A heavy perforated sheet steel
casing thoroughly protects and ventilates the coils. Terminals and adjustable
swich are mounted on a non-conducting slate base protected by a sheet steel
automatic closing cover. Asbestos covered copper wires connect the various coils
with switch contacts and all connections are solderless A convenient handle
facilitates handling, epecially when Rheostat is hot. AH parts are made with jigs
and templets insuring interchangeability.

The above Rheostat is adapted for all models of Edison Projecting Kineto-
scopes, and for either 110-135 volts direct current, or 104-110 volts alternating
current, and 25 to DO amperes without excessive beating.

The above features combined with the best materials and workmanship,
superior design and construction have produced a PERFECT RHEOSTAT.

WHO IS PIRATING FILMS?

There seems just now to be a wave of dishonest and
underhand practice going on in the film business, and we
want to warn our readers against being duped by "dupe"
films. The number of copied films which are being
offered for sale as originals is increasing, and we want
every exhibitor to know how to detect the same and
avoid being fleeced by unscrupulous dealers. A "dupe"
film is a duplicated film ; that is, one manufacturer copies
a film made by another, thereby saving the expense of
posing the original, and offers it to the public as his own,
perhaps under a new title- The method adopted is that
a film made in Europe, say, and not having been copy-
righted is bought, placed in the printing machine with a
negative film and exposed. The result is a "dupe" nega-
tive, from which positives are now made and sold as orig-
inal films. The "dupe" film is never so good as if made
from the original negative, and if you have difficulty in
focusing the picture sharply, if the picture is poor in
quality, if the half-tone, the delicate shading, the finer
shades are missing, look with suspicion on the film, and if
at all doubtful, reject it. A "dupe" has lost all the fine
photographic atmosphere, is intensified in the blacks and
whites, a blotchy effect is produced on the screen, and
no matter how good the copy may be, it is impossible
to project it on the screen with a maximum of effect.
An exhibitor wrote us a short while ago complaining that
he could not get good results from some film he had
bought and blamed the lens; we knew the lens (made by
a reputable firm) was good, and thought he had possibly
• changed the glasses. No ; then the film was in fault, and
sure enough the film was a most flagrant piracy, and it
mattered not whose make of lens was used the result
would be the same. The question of morals involved in
the piracy of films is a nice one, but how to bring it
home is another. "The man who for the. sake. of dollars
becomes a film pirate has no sense of morals; it is im-
possible to appeal to his honor— that's gone. His con-
science? Well, he has put that in his pocketbbok. His
sense of justice, of doing to others as he would that
others should do to him? Oh, that's a fable, all exploded,
nothing doing, but if his employee steals a $5 bill he goes
for his pound of flesh and demands justice for the thief.
Where is the difference? There is none. Both are
thieves. The one steals what he does not possess him-
self, ideas, brains, originality, and the fruits of an honest
industry. The other steals the ill-gotten gains of such
an employer and has as much right to the $5 bill as the
other has to the pirated film.

If justice cannot be meted out to him let all honest

men hold the pirate up to the scorn and contumely of
his fellows, so that others may not be duped by his illegal
practices.

Electricity for the Operator

By H. Meredith. Jones, M. E., C. E.

, Continued from Page 260

CHAPTER 3. > u

Wires, Conductors and Cables.

The construction of wires, conductors and cables will
now be described, with a brief description of their manu-
facture, so that the operator will have a knowledge which
will facilitate him very much in the handling of wires in
regular practice.

The various instruments, switches, cut-outs, etc., that
are used will be thoroughly described, including panel
and switchboard construction; also the various mould-
ings, casings and conduits used in regular practice will
be shown and described.

The metal in common use to-day in the manufacture
of electric wires, conductors and cables is copper, on ac-
count of its high conductivity, that is its power to carry
an electric current without a great loss through the re-
sistance of the metal. All metals have the power to resist
the passage of an electric current through them, and the
following table shows the comparative powers of resist-
ance of various metals :

Specific Resistance in C. G. S. :
Units at o° C.

Silver annealed 15 21

Silver hard drawn 1652

Copper annealed 1615

Copper hard drawn : 1642

Platinum annealed 9*58

Iron annealed ,• , '.-. 9827

Nickel 12600

Tin 13360

Lead 19847

Mercury 96146.

Alloys :

German silver 21 170

Platinoid • 34000

You will notice in this table that silver is the best con-
ductor of electricity, but on account of its high cost is not
practicable for every day use in the manufacture of elec-
tric conductors. Therefore, copper being next in good
conducting power and of comparatively moderate cost,
also combining good jointing qualities, with flexibility,
has become the universal metal for conductors. You will
notice that lead has a high resisting power combined with
a low melting point, therefore is very valuable for fuses
of afl kinds, although in many cases the alloys of lead are
used. Iron, on account of its high resisting power, is
used- in the manufacture of rheostats or resistance coils;
sometimes platinum is used, but only in laboratory work,
and then only on account of its non-corrosive qualities,
as it makes a more reliable metal for making a standard
resistance coil for testing purposes. In the more com-
mon forms of testing sets of resistance coils, the cheaper
alloys of German silver and platinoid are used.

We will turn for a few moments to the study of
manufacture of the metallic copper into wires, com
or cables.

The metallic copper arrives from the smelters at
mill in the shape of ingots, which are square lumps
pure copper. Copper, by the way, must be over 98
pure to be of use for this purpose, which means that
every hundred pounds of the ingot there must be at 1
ninety-eight pounds of copper, the rest other metals,
impurities, although there are manufacturers using'
per much purer than ninety-eight, even as pure as 99.1
of pure copper. Copper of this character is generally
by means of the electrolytic process, that is the copper
deposited in an electric bath just like plating is done,
copper having first been treated and dissolved by a
and made into a, solution after having most of the i
purities dissolved out ; the copper got in this way is
ed in the mill the same way as the ingot, by first being
nealed, then rolled and re-annealed, rolled again, ;
so on annealing and rolling until it is reduced down i
a round rod of the required size. Remember, in worl
all copper it must be annealed regularly and const;
to make it work smoothly and evenly without crai
or breaking. It is then drawn by machinery or
through dies (plates with round holes in them) u
after having passed through one die after another,
a trifle smaller than the last one, it arrives at its pri
size. The very finest wires are drawn through diarro
dies made of diamonds generally of the discolored
black variety set in plates. Of course, through all t!
drawing down the wire must be kept constantly anm
to prevent its breaking. The wire is then ready for
covering and braiding machines to manufacture it into
finished conductor.

The wire then passes into machines which cover
with cotton, silk, rubber, gutta-percha, lead and od
materials. Sometimes there are more than one wire
a conductor ; in flexible conductors as many as a hundr
or more are twisted together, but they are extremely fis

The commonest wire is that known as' the D. C
(double cotton covered) wire, which has cotton lapp
around it first in one direction and then in the other (
rection; this is largely used for dynamos and motors
winding the fields and armatures* although single cotfa
covered wire has been used but very seldom. This sac
D. C. C. wire is used for telephones and other work
the same class where small currents are used and of 1
pressure, but it is then dipped in paraffine wax and oft
colored with various colors to denote different wires fro
one another in laying and tracing your work.

I may here state that all wires are covered by the
ous materials used so as to prevent any loss of current
far as it is possible by using materials to cover the r
of a high non-conductivity, that is the power to resist
passage' of electricity such as cotton, silk, rubber,
Then again cables are armored by means of lead cot
ing or having steel or iron galvanized wire woven area
them to protect them from injury to their covering.

The many other kinds of conductors are vanoa
treated, covered and woven together to suit their vane
needs; you can learn best their construction py «g
small pieces of conductor apart and closely i" 5 !**
their construction. It is very important that the ope
tor should make himself thoroughly familiar «y
entire construction of conductors from start to ^
be able to judge the kind to use, how to handle it, jom
and install it, V

Our representative called at the new office of the Im-
erial Moving Picture Co. and saw Mr. Wm. F. Steiner,
eneral manager, and found them doing a flourishing
nsiness.

This company has all the leading theaters throughout
imnecticut, and it is a fact known by the public that
rhenever they see the paper of the Imperial Moving Pic-
ire Co. that there will be an A I entertainment.

They have in their employ the following well-known
opular singers : Miss May Prado, the well-known con-
aito; Baby Eleanor, child actress; Tom Breen, the well-
nown baritone and singing comedian; Jack Driscoll,
iddie Weston, Dick McCready, Otto Steiner, W. S. Mil-
ken, Joe Hafey, the well-known pianist Joe Macey, and
, E. Wells, the above comprising a staff of which any
ompany might be proud.

Mr. Steiner was connected with Mr. Paley quite a num-
er of years and in the Proctor theaters for over six
ears, and the firm of Paley & Steiner have made the fol-,
wing productions in moving pictures: Around New
brk in Fifteen Minutes, Travels of a Trunk, Trials and
roubles of an Automobilist, Two Seedy Rubes, The
fishbone, The Lost Hat, The Bigamist, Lynch Law
ivenging Crime, Wife of a New York Policeman.

Mr. Steiner will be pleased to hear from his numerous
riends who do not know his present address, 44 West
wenty-eighth street, 'phone 3396 Mad. Square.

Wm. Devany of the firm is business manager of the
astern office, P. O. Box 632, 'phone 865, Ring 5, New
Iritain, Conn., and has full charge of all work in the
[astern States.

They are continually adding new pictures .to their
irge stock, and have all the latest and best American
nd European subjects.

The motto of the firm is "Always Working"

A duel's amang ye, takin' notes,

An' faith he'H print 'em.
We paid a flying visit to some of the exhibitions in
jreater New York during the past week, starting from
ourteenth street up Sixth avenue to Fort George, and
hen on the East Side to One Hundred and Ninetieth
treet, and were pleased to note the advanced tone
nd improvement of the exhibitions, although we
imk some of the operators ought to take a few lessons
n how to focus, and try to keep the picture even on the
»eet. Nothing looks so bad as the half-top picture show-
« bottom and half bottom picture at the top of the
creen. Some of the operators were quick", but others let
«ne 20 or 30 feet of film run through before making the
tange. We have no desire to make invidious distinc-
■"ns, but it would be well for some of the owners to go
lc og. occasionally; they would be amply repaid for the
ro ™! e ; Over at Coney Island there are some very good
wiibitions, up-to-date, with clean films and careful oper-
tor Si but it would pay Anthony Comstock well, and be
tfter for the public, if he visited three or four, where
»ne very blase films were on exhibition. Most of the
™ renters are giving all the newest films; the most
a fi r ant exception was at South Beach, Staten Island,

where films some seven or eight months old were being
shown, and a very poor Operator was at the machine.
The other places were well supplied with good films and
operators and are well worth a visit.

BEWARE OF THE DOG.— A wealthy gentleman re-
cently had a party of his men friends at his home and
entertained them by having a gifted lecturer deliver a
stereopticon talk on the tropics, which he had just vis-
ited. The slides were very beautiful, and so engrossed
did the entire audience become in the lecture that every
one failed to notice the entrance of a pet dog belonging
to the host.

Meantime the dog — a most well-behaved animal — sat
quietly down in a remote corner and watched the pic-
tures with the greatest interest. He followed the advent
and disappearance of each slide in wonder, craning his
neck to the utmost as each picture was slipped out and
replaced by another. At last the lecturer presented a
tropical glade with several fine ducks skimming over it
and was enlarging on the shooting there, when suddenly
the dog made one mad rush for the ducks and disap-
peared through the sheet I

The lecture came to an abrupt close.

Plans have been completed for the remodeling of the
Gerling mill in North Water street, Rochester, N. Y.,
for a moving picture theater. Officers of the new con-
cern, known as the Knickerbocker Theater Company, are
George Gerling, president ; William H. Craig, vice-presi-
dent; W. N. Gerling, secretary and treasurer. The en-
trance to the new theater will be in Main street east.

The Frederica theatorium is the name of a new moving
picture show which will be opened by Ben C. Nunn at
410 Frederica street, Onessenger, Ky. Mr. Nunn will
run his house on a high-class plane. There will be no
phonograph and consequently Mr. Nunn 'believes no curb-
stone loafers. All the performance will be given on the
inside.

on June 24. The alleged proprietors of three places were
arrested, charged with violating the Sunday law.

William Brickman, 27 years old, of 205 Weirfield
street, was arrested for allowing a performance to go on
at 192 Grand street ; Abe White, of 214 East One Hun-
dred and Fourteenth street, Manhattan, for allowing a
performance to go on at 762 Broadway, and William
Brinkheimer, for giving a show at 525 Grand street.
Brickman and White were arraigned in the Lee Avenue
Court, and Brinkheimer in the Manhattan Avenue Court.
Hearing in each case was adjourned. \

. Magistrate Furlong, in the Gates Avenue Court, June
25, held John Turteltawf, the reputed proprietor of a pic-
ture palace, at ^1703 Pitkin avenue, and two of his^em-
ployees, Herman Rothstein and Kate' Witdoric, on
charges of having violated the Sunday law in giving
performances. Bail was fixed at $500 each for trial at
Special Sessions. Counsel for the prisoners asserted
that only the proprietor could be held, but Magistrate
Furlong decided otherwise.

The Clifton, Ariz., theater, which opened for business
last week in the Midway building on east side, has been
enjoying a good attendance. It is a first-class, clean mov-
ing picture show and something that will meet with the
approval of men, women and children.

Shortman and Patterson, from Perry, have leased the
west room of the Leader building, Ponce City, Okla., for
the purpose of opening up an electric theater, in which
moving pictures and a vaudeville performance are the
features. It is the intention of the company to be^ ready
to give a matinee performance Saturday, July f, after
which time the theater will be open every evening.

The "uplift" nickel theater, conducted at Hull house
for the sole purpose of driving out the less wholesome
cheap theaters in Halsted street, sprang into sudden
fame the other Sunday wheir-it was discovered that it
was getting all the business away from a more preten-
tious attraction at the settlement house.

The other attraction was a meeting held in the rear
auditorium p$=4be building in the interest of the Jewish
ConsumptiorFRelief Association.

Early in the evening, while Halsted street was crowded
with Sunday evening sightseers, a leather lunged "bark-
er," a negro, stepped out in front of the "uplift" 5 cent
theater and began to describe the wonders of "Uncle
Tom's Cabin" as set forth in motion pictures. The main
features were the wonderful films and the extremely low
price-^a nickel. ...

them decided that it might be well to assist the v '.-
of reform in a small way first, so they entered the S
show. Others were believed to have been guided by mi

Victor, Colo.— The moving picture film in the Grand
[heater on South Third street caught fire from a live
■lectric wire. Some 200 people, mostly women and chil-
Iren, were in the house, and a panic ensued, although no
m e was injured. Several women fainted, but they were
ssctied by firemen. The theater is owned by Lowell,
tlarvin & Co. The damage will amount to $200 or $300.

n the Lilley and Workman block, which is occupied by a
noving picture company. The fire is supposed to have
ieen caused by the films. There were a dozen people in
he store and they were rescued with considerable diffi-
:ulty. The band concert in the square had just closed
then the alarm was sent in and by the time the firemen

id reached the scene fully 5,000 people were on the

Evolution of the Moving Picture.

The moving-picture machine, under its various names.
s still increasing in popularity and is being perfected day
>y day, although much still remains to be done before its
esults can be called quite satisfactory. It is difficult to
*alize that so complex a device, producing so life-like
w illusion of animated motion, has been developed within
1 few years. In an article contributed to the Revue Sci-
tntifique (Paris, April 13) C. Hemardinquer, of the Fac-
% of Sciences of the Sorbonne, gives some of the steps
detail. He says in substance :

The whole theory of the cinematograph is contained in

iese few words : persistence of the impression made by
"ght on the retina. What does this mean? Take a
natch whose end still glows, and move it quickly about.
We see a luminous line. Whence comes this impression?
simply from the fact that each luminous impression lasts

certain time, fixed by the experiments of the Belgian

physicist Plateau at a 14 second. During this time the
object in motion has been displaced, so that we still see
it in one place after it has moved to the next.

This fact of luminous persistence has long been known.
It was even mentioned by Lucretius in 65 B. C. In all
times and in all countries scientists have noted it, tried to
explain it and based toys or amusements upon it, such as
the magic top, the thaumatrope, etc. By application of
the same principle we show, in lectures on physics, the
synthesis of colored lights to form white — the so-called
Newton's disk. In this way, also, we may study vibratory
movements on the principle of what are called in physics
stroboscopic methods.

To return to the cinematograph, he takes as its start-
ing-point the phenakisticope of Plateau, which may be
really regarded as its ancestor. He goes on to say :

"Plateau's device received successive modifications of
detail, among which may be cited Ross's 'wheel of life'
and the zootrope or zoetrope of Desvignes (i860), which
may still be found in the toy-shops. This is formed of a
vertical cylinder having vertical slits through which the
observer looks. In the interior is placed a band of paper
bearing designs representing the successive positions or
attitudes of a moving object or person. . . .

"The zootrope modified by a system of mirrors becomes
the praxinoscope of Reynaud (1877). Then came the
folioscope, which, reappeared in 1897 with photographs
instead of drawings.

. "All these devices used drawings, reproductions more
or less exact, of the different attitudes of the subjects.
It is evident that the reproduction gained much from the
substitution of photographs, and it is interesting that this
substitution was first made with a scientific purpose.

"In 1873 Cornu presented to the Academy of Sciences
four photographs, taken on the same plate, of the transit
of Venus across the sun's disk. At the same time Janssen
invented his photographic revolver. Marey, in his labor-
atory in the Pare des Princes, made on a single plate
. . . successive images on a dark background, to study
the movements of men and animals.

"In 1878, at the instigation of a rich American, a San
Francisco photographer, Maybridge, constructed twenty-
four similar objectives whose shutters were controlled by
electromagnets with electric circuits so arranged as to be
broken successively by a moving horse, giving twenty-
four • successive exposures. This was somewhat compli-
cated. . .

"We cite merely for the sake of completeness the
analogous attempts on fixed plates made by Auschutz of
Lissa, by Londe, by Colonel Sebert, and others, and come
at once to the chronograph of Marey, who was really the
first to think of forming the image on a movable sensitive
film, the object being exposed periodically. This was the
actual beginning of chronophotography, which then en-
tered upon a new phase. One of Marey's collaborators^
Demeny, changed the chronograph to adapt it for pro-
jection. . . . Marey had made the analysis of motion,
and Demeny its synthesis.

"In 1889, at the World's Fair, Marey showed his ap-
paratus to Edison, who, seeing its possibilities, devised his
kinetoscope, in which the celluloid strip was used for the
first time, and which was so successful that Marey's name
was almost forgotten beside that of the famous Amer-
ican.

"But the kinetoscope was not yet a device for project-
ing moving pictures on a screen. On February 10, 1893,
the Messrs., Lumiere, of Lyons, finally solved the problem
and took out their first patent for the cinematograph.
Everybody recollects the brilliant success of this inven-

tion. At once it was followed by a considerable number
of devices made in all countries and christened in all sorts
of ways from the Greek, Latin, and in more fanciful
fashion still. Here are a few :

"Anarithmoscope, chronophotographoscope, cinograph-
oscope, cinograph, cinoscope, hypnoscope, katoscope, um-
mographe, mutoscope, mouvementoscope (!!), phanto-
graphe, etc., etc. There are scores of them, or even hun-
dreds. To review these devices would be td- deliver a
lecture on mechanics ; but they all resemble the apparatus
of Lumiere, which in its modern forms has been changed
only by perfecting details." -

A very ingenious combination of the phonograph and
the cinematograph has been made by Gaumont, who has
succeeded in obtaining perfect synchronism between the
two. The lecturer showed a number of his pictures with
special phonograph accompaniment, the sound being am-
plified by compressed air in combination with the mega-
phone. These are said to have been very striking and
will doubtless soon become familiar to the public —

so much, start one ? — Ed.]

Der Kinemato graph Organ Fur-Die-Gesamte-Projek-
tionskunst of May 15 has the following from the pen of
Dr. B. A. Baer:

America is the country of unlimited possibilities, also
in the developing of the kinematograph business.

In no country are there so many film factories built,
so many projection machines made, and nowhere so many
exhibitions as in the United States.

The general belief is that Edison was the first inventor
and the largest manufacturer of living pictures, ma-
chines, etc. But this is a mistake. Because he is rather
the smallest, than the largest manufacturer in United
States. His picture machines are lacking in durability,
his pictures lack the pulsating life, without which a film
is not a hit.

In the United States are six or seven large manufac-
turers, and the first in line are Biograph and S. Lubin.

The Biograph Co. in most cases makes films which can
also be used in slot machines. S. Lubin is known for his
sensation films, which sell like "hot cakes," but which
demand from the public a large amount of credulity.

The latest hit of that company was "The Unwritten
Law," and made after the tragedy of Thaw. It is said
that more than 1,000 films were sold, despite the price of
$104. Each film measures 1,000 feet.

The Mutoscope Co. were the first to make the "Chase
Films." Lubin copied these and also French manufac-
tures, and for some time we could not see one film with-
out a race.

Films for educational purposes are not yet popular,
except in a few instances. What is wanted is sensation,
grotesque humor and everyday life.

American manufacturers suffer most under the disad-
vantage of raw material. There is only the Eastman
Kodak Co. factory, for positive or negative film. Until
the 1st of January, 1907, this company held the price of
raw film so high that it was impossible to compete with
foreign manufacturers.

A German company which would build in the United
States a factory for celluloid film should have a brilliant
future.

There is needed so much film that all the manufactur-
ers in the world put together cannot supply enough. And
yet there is not to be seen one film of German origin.

The Popular Illustrated Lecture.

By Burton H. Allbee.

Moving pictures with all their undenied attraction
have not supplanted the popular illustrated lecture. Tbj
lecture, properly handled, has certain attractions and cer-
tain educational forces which cannot be supplanted bj
the moving picture. While motion pictures are becom-
ing more and more popular every day and apparenth
they are more wanted than the lecture, yet when a lecturer
appears who has something to say and has good picture
with which to illustrate his story there is no questicc
about profitable business for him.

My introduction to illustrated lectures was under sud
masters as Regan and Stoddard, the men who blare
the track now followed by such lecturers as Dwigfe
Elmendorf and Burton Holmes. They are fit successors
to the former masters and their lectures and illustration
are the equal of anything ever placed before the pubik
The entire secret of successful lecturing is to have some
thing to say, to say it entertainingly and use good pc
tures in illustrating it. The American public, alwa]
hungry for something new and attractive, will do tl
rest.

It is not true that the lecturer and the illustration
must be bizarre. The most commonplace objects, pre
sented in a bright and entertaining way, will alwaji
please an audience and will bring a rich reward of shekel
and growing popularity. Moving pictures are attractivt

things, combined with good pictures, will satisfy mon
than motion pictures alone.

It will be noted by those who attend both varieties «
entertainment that only certain subjects can be success
fully depicted in moving pictures. On the other has-
anything, no matter how commonplace or how homel?
can be made the subject of a lecture and it depends alp
upon the ability of the lecturer to make it entertaining
instructive and attractive to make it succeed.

Perhaps the greatest difficulty with illustrated lecturt
of the present is that the lecture is prepared in the m
with the aid of cyclopaedias and then some slide her
is visited to find illustrations. It isn't my purpose

They all have excellent lists of slides from which

rture which was prepared before the slides were
^ct e d With the usual perversity of things inanimate
tis practically impossible to get one hundred, or even
1 .Jtrfrrr. slides which will satisfactorily illustrate a
ecture prepared in the study. The only possible way to
to it is to decide upon a subject, then look for slides
vhich will illustrate that subject and afterward write
he lecture around the illustrations. It is a poor way,
,ut when an attempt is made to do a thing one way and
t fails the only way left is to do what is possible, and
hat is, write a story around the pictures.
Many lecturers do this- with a certain degree of suc-
ess. I have in mind now one who is popular on the
educational force of a large city, but there is always an
dement of dissatisfaction after hearing one of his lectures.
[Tie text and the pictures do not seem to connect
imoothly. One who has never been in the business will
ay that it is because of lack of comprehension of the
subject, but the experienced lecturer will understand
mmediately that the slides were prepared by a profess-
ional for his stock and the lecturer has utilized them
is well as possible in illustrating his talk.
This chance of missing the object aimed at need not
Jeter one from adopting the same course. Under many
ircumstances it is impossible to do otherwise and numer-
)us valuable messages have been given to the world in
his way, and many audiences have been charmed and
nstructed with lectures prepared and illustrated in this
nanner. Still, 'the fact remains that occasionally a lec-
urer aims at something more than a mere money suc-
ess. He desires to have his lectures impressive and
ufficiently good to be remembered for their general
xcellence rather than for some other reason.
It requires long, hard work to outline, prepare and
ustrate a lecture, no matter what the subject may be.
urther, a lecture is never really complete. It may be,
nd probably is, complete enough to be delivered, but
ifter one begins delivering it the lecture apparently be-
ames a living thing. It is undergoing constant changes.
t is being revised continuously. New pictures are being
dded and old ones . are being withdrawn. New facts
e being inserted and old statements are being modified
meet changed conditions. The set lecture, which is
irmted and read .from the page, is cold and in many
rays unsatisfactory. It requires something alive, some-
hing which has the human element, something developed
ind which will touch the hearts, or the minds, of the
isteners who are human, as well as the lecturer, and
dio will thrill responsively to the human feeling with
hich the lecture may be imbued.
Where the lecturer prepares his lecture by going over
ne ground himself, obtaining and arranging his own
aterial and making his own pictures, then there will be
armony between all the parts and the lecture will pos-
ess that indefinable something which is easily and quickly
ecognized, but can scarcely be described, but which
^ans its success. It requires months, perhaps years,
'hard work to do this; but once it is done and the lee-
'eis placed before the intelligent audiences which at-
end illustrated lectures the returns for the labor ex-
*oded begin and afterward the lecturer is well rewarded
or his properly directed efforts.

it is the purpose of the writer to outline more or less
ftphically and minutely the different processes to be
allowed in selecting a subject, preparing the lecture itself
n d the illustrating. They are all important elements

in one's success and a somewhat careful treatment is de-
sirable. And yet it is difficult to lay down rules for
such work. It is easy enough for one man to tell an-
other how he performed certain work or managed a
certain coup which yielded him rich returns in one way
or another ; but after listening to the explanation it will
be found impossible for the second man to repeat the
experiment with anything approaching the success of the
first. It is somewhat so in lecturing. It is easy for one
man to tell another how he does it, or has done it, in
times past; but he cannot gurantee that following the
directions he lays down will yield equally satisfactory
results.

But the statement of certain principles upon which to
base one's work may result in the development of ideas
which will lead naturally to modifications that will make
the work of the second man quite as effective and valu-
able as that of the first, only in a different way. With
that object in view this series is begun and it is hoped
that much good may be accomplished.

MOVING PICTURE MAKING AN ART.— The art
of recording photographically successive phases of motion
or the changes in an animated scene is called chronopho-
tography.

This was made possible when the photographic plates
reached the stage of sensitiveness which permitted of
exposure so brief that during the interval of exposure
the body which is being photographed shall not percep-
tibly have changed its position.

In the case of comparative slow motion it is possible
to construct shutters, the action of which is prompt
enough to fulfill this condition.

In other cases, however, such as the photographing
the flight of a bullet from the muzzle of a gun, the ex-
ceeding brevity of exposure is obtained by the use of
the electric spark, the duration of which can be reduced
at will almost indefinitely.

^ The earliest example of chronophotogcaphy is due to
Gedderson, who in 1862 flashed the image of an electric
spark across the image of a sensitized plate by means
of a lens and a revolving mirror, and in this way he suc-
ceeded in securing photographs.

The achievement was considered remarkable consider-
ing the undeveloped state of the photographic art at that
time and the fact that it was necessary to use the old-
fashioned wet plates.

For many purposes, particularly in scientific work.,
chronophotography may be most easily reached by throw-
ing the image of the moving body upon a plate which
travels more or less rapidly through the field of view of
the camera. The photographic image of a point at rest
obtained in this way is a line drawn across the plate in
the direction of its motion. All displacements of the
points at right angles to the line Of motion of the plate
produce corresponding transverse displacement of the line
that forms its image.

The scientific applications of this form of chronopho-
tography are of two kinds — (a) the automatic registry
of changes which occur so slowly that the direct obser-
vation of them becomes laborious. The continuous daily
records of the fluctuation of thermometers and barom-
eters are of this description. In such cases the shadow
of the moving point is thrown upon a strip of photo-
graphic paper of small sensitiveness which is moving
very slowly, (b) The tracing of fluctuations too rapid
to permit of direct observation with the eye. In such
cases the plate or film is moved at a high velocity through
the field of the camera, and motions, the duration of which

282

may amount to only the small fraction, of a second, are
thus recorded in detail.

The motion of the plate through the field in this type
of chronophotography is sometimes produced hy mount-
ing it in the form of a disc and giving it a motion by
rotation about an axis perpendicular to the face of the
plate through its center.

This is the method pursued by Crehore andJ5quire in
their "photo-chronograph," an instrument for the study
of the velocity of modern projectiles. In this interesting
apparatus the projectile is made to break a succession of
circuits by penetrating screens placed in its path at
given intervals. A polarized ray of light on its way to
the photographic plate passes through carbon bisulphide
contained within the core qT a coil traversed by the cur-
rent. By an ingenious application of the rotary power
of this field upon the plane of polarization of the light
ray, the latter is prevented from reaching the plate when-
ever the circuit is interrupted.

The successive instantaneous exposures on a fixed plate
were developed by Marey in Paris, and extensively ap-
plied by him to the study of movement, particularly to
the motion of men and to the lower animals.

Next came the successive instantaneous views on sep-
arate plates. The overlapping of the successive images
taken on a single fixed plate led, naturally, to the develop
ment of apparatus in which each exposure should have a
free surface to itself. Muybridge, in his Philadelphia
experiments, constructed a very extended and intricate
apparatus for this purpose. He used several batteries
of cameras for fixed plates with quick moving shutters
that could be operated electrically by the experimenter.
The result of this work was published in a series of 781
folio plates, each consisting of a group of instantaneous
photographs dealing with every type of animal loco-
motion. - - .

Marey, in France, has devised many instruments for
this sort of chronophotography, and among them is an
ingenious .form of camera known as the photographic
gun.

This apparatus was designed particularly for taking
chronophotographs of birds in flight and other rapidly
moving objects.

The lens is in the barrel of the gun, the breech of which
contains the sensitive plate, cut into the form of a disk
or octagon and mounted so as to revolve rapidly under
the action of a spring when released by the trigger.
Twelve exposures are made in one second with this
instrument by means of a disk shutter, the opening in
which gives an exposure of one-seven hundred and twen-
tieth of a second. Another disk with twelve windows
carries the sensitized plate with a properly interrupted
motion, so that the plate is at rest during each exposure
and is moved forward to a new position between times.

The photographs taken with the gun were very small
but they sufficed for the study of the successive positions
of the wings of flying birds and for a variety of other
similar objects.

The greatest type of chronophotography is the succes-
sive instantaneous exposures oh a moving film, and it is
this type which has attracted the most attention and which
in consequence has been most highly developed, and it
owes its present perfection to the demand for subjects'
for various forms of the" animated picture machine, a
device by means of which chronophotographs projected
upon a screen may be viewed by many observers simul-
taneously. >'.."*; - .

Such machine* . are capable of many applications.

Demenyy a pupil of Marey, took chronophotographs |
the moving lips of a speaker and, making positives faua
these, projected them by means of an attachment to the
lantern, which he called the photoscope, for the instruc-
tion of deaf mutes for the reading of speech.

The same method was used by Mach to exhibit the I
growth of vegetation, for which purpose he photography
a plant daily through its life and then projected the pic
tures with sufficient rapidity to blend the effect by per-
sistence of vision, and thus the plant was made to grow I
through all the phases of growth and to decline within
the interval of a few minutes.

Although all of these animated picture machines have!
received a multitude of names, they may be described ■ J
a form of magic lantern for the projection of pictures]
upon a screen.

The successive pictures follow one another in the fieldl
at the rate of about twenty in every second.

In most machines the film, or picture ribbon, as it si
called, is moved stepwise, the film remaining at rest dttr-f
ing the passage of an open sector in a revolving dislij
which admits the light to the screen, and being shifted!
the proper distance to bring the next picture into the field |
during the intervening period of darkness.

The usual size of the pictures on these picture ribbons I
is 2.5cm.x2cm. This gives about twenty pictures to eachl
foot of ribbon and requires one foot of, film for eachl
second of time that the exhibition is to last. Picture!
ribbons are usually made into lengths of fifty feet, but inl
certain instances where a prolonged scene is to be re-l
corded the length runs into thousands and often tens of j
thousands of feet.

In spite of the many names, there are only two type
for the production and exhibition of picture ribbons-
that in which the motion of the film is continuous. The
device generally used to secure a rapid step-wise motion
by which the film is brought to rest for a very brief inter-
val of time during which the exposure takes place anfl i
then moved to the precise distance for the taking' of
next picture, without overlapping or loss of space, con-
sists of a series of perforations of equi-distance, running]
along each edge of the film.

To take sharply defined pictures on a constantly mot-l
ing film, which is necessary in the second type of mach;
.the exposure must be of negligible length as com]
with the velocity of the film, which with the rapid moti
given in animated pictures is impracticable, or some
vice must be employed to prevent the blurring of the pic]
• tures. The most successful device of this kind consi
in moving the lense with a motion parallel to that of
film. The light from the object to the film then trav
downward with the same speed as the latter, and
is no relative shifting of the image on the sensitive
face, and in this. way it is possible to obtain sharp
tures, the exposure of which is properly timed by
interposition of an adjustable slit. .

The camera for accomplishing this contains
lenses mounted on a disk and traveling with the
linear velocity as the film itself.

DIABOLO, THE JAPANESE TOP
SPINNER.

URBAN.

This film opens with a view of Diabolo
and his marvelous top, which he spins and
places on a wire, making it perform won-
derful feats. It seems to leave his hands,
gyrates around and around on a wire loop.
He next places two tops on the wire, and
afterwards a third, showing some mar-
velous sleight of hand work. He is now
joined by his assistant and the two ad-
journ to a tennis court, where they utilize
several tops continually kept spinning to
and fro, from one to the other, on a thin
flexible wire. A panoramic view of the
two is shown, fully illustrating the expert
manner in which they handle the marvelous
tops.

an affectionate farewell, the wife throws
herself on the bed. The husband lights
the charcoal in the brazier, throws himself
into a chair to sleep and await results.
Suddenly they are aroused by a knocking
at the door and are surprised to find them-
selves alive. The cause is soon evident
when they find the charcoal has been treated
to a dose of La -Sabotage. Another knock-
ing at the door startles them; on opening
it there appears a messenger with a large
box, from which they produce food and
fruit in plenty. They vigorously attack the
loaves and bless the charcoal that they are
still alive to enjoy the good things sent by
a "friend in need."

the husband's comes in and joins them at
the meal. The visitor persuades the hus-
band to join him in a gambling game. The
wife tries very hard to persuade the hus-
band not to give way to the solicitations of
the false friend. Finding her efforts in
vain, she goes out leaving the couple to
themselves. . The husband informs his
friend of his inability to obtain money and
is persuaded to rob the wife. They leave
together for~the gambling house. The wife
returns and finding her husband gone to-
gether with her savings, follows him and
arrives —while he is gambling her hard-
earned savings away. She urges him to
come home, but he repulses her. A quarrel
arises, over the cards, during which the
husband gets the worst of it and is carried
home, accompanied by his tempter. The
false friend makes advances to the wife,
who repulses him and he goes off vowing
vengeance. A scaffold with workmen is
now seen, and during a quarrel and fight the
husband is thrown off the scaffold by the
false friend. He is taken up and is carried
away to the hospital, where he accuses the
other of throwing him to his death. The
stricken man, before dying, receives the
forgiveness of his wife.

he interrupts to ask the man to scratch his
back, but receives a pounding instead. As
this gives some relief, he accepts it with
stoicism. He again starts on his jouratj

His -back again needs soothing, and to ob-
tain this he rubs against the wheel, but the
carriage starting off leaves him sprawli™
in the gutter; next he rubs against the
curb. We next see him outside of a polks
station, where two policemen are compar-
ing notes. He rubs himself against one of
them, who is indignant at such treatment,
and hales him before the magistrate who,
seeing his plight, orders the policemen to
give him a good scrubbing with brushes.
They begin scrubbing him. under the di-
rection of the magistrate until they are ut-
terly exhausted, to the great delight of the
victim.

THE SOLDIER'S HELMET.

GAUMONT.

A soldier and a nursemaid are seen seated
on a bench in a park telling the old, old
story which culminates in a betrothal. So
interested are the couple in themselves that
they do not perceive a mischievously in-
clined workman who has a glue pot in his
hand, with which he glues the inside of
.the helmet of the soldier. Finishing their
love-making, the maid goes off and- the
soldier puts on his helmet and returns to
the barracks, where, upon his arrival, he
tells of his happiness and receives the con-
gratulations of the troop. About to re-
tire, he finds that his helmet is glued to his
head and that the united efforts of him-
self and his companions fail to remove it
Finding that he cannot get it off, he goes
to bed with it on. The officer of the watch
appears on his tour of inspection and, see-
ing the soldier sleeping _ with helmet on,
demands the. reason, which is given, and
seeing the plight the soldier is in, he orders
the guard to remove it but they also fail
Finding all efforts in vain, he orders the
man to the hospital where we see him
seated with two companions, who, after
being treated by the doctors, return to their
berths. It now being his turn for exami-
nation, he explains to the doctor that he
cannot get the helmet off. Calling the aid
of his assistant, the doctor tries to remove
it but fails, and is about to operate on the
man, who vigorously objects, and as an
after-thought the doctor orders his assist-
ant to go out and* fetch him a fireman. He
orders the man to stand before the hose,
which is vigorously played upon thehel-
met; it becomes soddened and the glue
softens. It falls off, to the great relief of
the soldier and the eternal glory of the
doctor.

A man is seen seated on a bench in a

appear, full of mischief, and begin their

to feel ,the prickly, irritating sensation
caused by the oollen, and starts rubbing his
hack against the bench. Finding that this

SELIG.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
and the acquisition of knowledge under
such circumstances as our picture shows is
difficult as well as dangerous and has been
made productive of some very funny situa-
tions ; in fact there is not a dull roomed
in any part of this film, at which every one
laughs all the time

A gentleman is seated in his library, en-
gaged in study, when he is interrupted b
a messenger boy, who delivers a note which
apparently calls him away for a time. Evi-
dently much annoyed by the interruption,
he seems to debate whether he shall com?'?
with the message and leave his books or
not, but at last hits on a compromise, and
putting on his hat and gloves and takfcj
with him the book he was reading, he
leaves the room to keep his appointment

Our student friend is seen coming Im
the steps of his apartment, and, open boci
in hand, is reading while he walks so as to
lose no time unnecessarily; the "domestic
worker" is sweeping the steps and a boj

is going up ; engrossed in his reading and
entirely oblivious to his surroundings, he
stumbles on the boy and overturns him.

WHO IS PIRATING FILMS?

Apropos our last week's editorial on the above subject,
we are gratified with the comments we have received and
feel constrained to refer again to the subject, owing to
its importance. We were conversing with an English
manufacturer, who commented upon the copyright laws
of the United States and their uselessness in protecting
the manufacturer. His contention is that, take 1,000 feet
of film having 16,000 pictures, each must be copyrighted
at a cost of 50 cents each ; total, $8,000. Who pays this ?
No one ! What is done ? The negative and title is copy-
righted, at a cost of 50 cents for a citizen of the United
States and $1.00 for a non-citizen. And at this copyright
. the film pirate laughs, and pirates, well knowing that to
get a conviction or injunction the law-costs will be more
than the film is worth. Is this the law? Our informant
spoke with force, and practical experience ot the subject.
What can be done to stop the pirate or faker? A trench-
ant letter from a valued correspondent touches the point,
and we have pleasure in quoting him :

"Touching again on your editorial regarding pirates,
I want to say to the legitimate manufacturer in general
that they could easily stop the pirates, if, instead of an-
tagonizing each other, they would fraternize and help
one another; this could be accomplished, with possibly
one or two exceptions.

"They know full well who the pirate is and who the
fakers are, and if they would refuse to sell their films to
these, and place restrictions on those who do buy them,
it might not drive the pirate out altogether, but it would
make him hustle for a living.

"One foreign firm of manufacturers, when they first
engaged in business in this country, stipulated that those
who bought their goods were not to deliver them to those
who duped or copied films, and they positively refused
to sell direct to any such dealers. Their attention has been
called to the matter on numerous occasions, and evidence
has been offered, but silently rejected, because they see
nothing before them at the present time but the
almighty $.

"Keep up your good work. . . . With the stand
you have taken, your paper is bound to succeed. . . .
It is, doubtless, a factor in the trade at the present time,
and the mere mention of a faker's name may be the means
of inducing some innocent person to invest in what must
prove disastrous to him as an exhibitor."

Comment on these extracts is superfluous, and he who
runs may read. But is it not a fact that unanimity of
purpose exists in the ranks of the manufacturers, each
is ready to belittle his fellow? Jealousy of another's
success is engendered, and if it is possible to give a slur

292

THE MOVING PICTURE WORLD.

without being found out, is it not done? Contemptuous
remarks about the littleness of the other firm and back-
handed knocks are given when opportunity offers. And
yet, the one can not do without the other; each firm has
its own individuality, and, generally speaking, each uses
the other firm's goods. Then why not drop the^ animus
and join hands for the common good ? The field is large
enough for all who are in, and for more who want to get
in, so drop the dog in the manger policy, and join in a
fraternal association for the common good, to drive out
the pirate, and for future protection. It will be needed.

To measure wires by the above table the operaj
should provide himself with a micrometer of at least
half inch opening capacity; this size is a very useful ci
it can be obtained put up in a neat leather case for an
few dollars at a first-class hardware store. A microns
as is generally well known consists of a knurled heaj
screw for adjusting the jaws until they just touch j
outside of the wire being measured and then reading]
the number at the base of the screw as shown will ri
the measurement in the number of thousandths of]
inch. Each division equals an opening of the jawsj
one thousandth part of an inch. There are also micron!
ters made to read to a finer division of one ten-thousand
part of an inch, but are used only by expert electrid
who desire to read to another decimal point or figure J

Now, in using above table the different sizes are gj
in decimals of an inch; the first number reading past t!
decimal point from left to right equals tenths of an ■
the next hundredths, the next thousandths, so you s
you can easily and readily tell the size and gauge of )i
wire in a very simple way. In cases where" two numbt
in the same column read the same, for instance, like a
and .004, then the upper one is a little thicker wire I
another decimal point not shown, because the writer fa
that three decimals is enough for all general practice.

THE BROWN & SHARPE GAUGE.

This gauge. is nearly universal in the United States!
measuring wires and is referred to as a standard. Ill
usually termed the B. & S. gauge. The sizes of n
under the gauge range from No. 0000 (generally spot)
of as four o), which has a diameter of .460 inch, nd
half an inch, to No. 40, which has a diameter of .od
inch ; remember, the higher the number the smaller I
wire. The rule by which the sizes of wire under I
gauge increase as the number diminishes is a very simp
one. For instance,' if we take any given number as
basis of comparison, a wire three numbers higher i
have very nearly half the cross section and one tha
numbers lower twice the cross section. For exampl
No. 4 wire has twice the cross section of a No. 7 vri
and No. 10 has one-half the cross section of No. 7.

Another point useful to bear in mind regarding ll
B. & S. gauge is that a No. 10 wire has a diameter
very nearly one-tenth of an inch, that one thousand J
of this wire has a resistance of almost exactly one oh
So by remembering this particular fact as well as 1
foregoing properties of this gauge, rough calculaufl
can be made as to both the diameter and resistance
other sizes. It is better, however, to consult the ta
given for accuracy.

Sizes smaller than No. 14, B. & S. gauge, are sel*
used in electric transmission, but I have given a eoj
plete table under Table No. 2 for reference, as the small
sizes are largely used in connection with the windi?
of various types of electrical apparatus, such as m^
small dynamos and motors, etc. Table II. gives the pro
erties of copper wire according to the B. & S. gauge, a
the resistances given are based upon the standard us
by Matthiessen in his experiments; and if the purity
the copper is not up to this standard, its resistance I
run somewhat higher than the values given in the taa
but the difference will not be so very great, becal
copper wire, as now manufactured, is remarkably
and uniform in character.

All weights given are for bare copper wire.

WIRE GAUGES.

To understand the above Table No. 2 and all tables of
res, I will enter into a brief explanation of the meas-
ing of wires by gauges.

The various gauges or wire standards have been
opted by different manufacturers, but the safest and
st way is always to express the diameter of wires in
Is, or the thousandths of an inch, and its area of cross
:tion in circular mils.

The American or Brown & Sharpe gauge is used almost
clusiyely throughout the United States of America in
nnection with electrical construction, but it is always
11 to give the diameter of the wire in mils of its area
circular mils, as well as its gauge number, and so avoid
^possibility of mistakes.

The circular measure of a wire is the diameter of the
re, expressed either as a decimal part of an inch or
the terms of the above unit called the mil. A mil is
nal to the one-thousandth of an inch, i.e., 1 mil = .001
:n. For example, a wire of forty-five hundredths of an
:n in diameter (.045") would have a diameter of forty-
e mils.

Hie circular mil is the unit of area for expressing the

Ms-section area of wires. It will be seen later that a

n ple relation exists between the diameter of a wire and

area of cross section as expressed in circular mils, so

that if either one of these quantities is known the other
can be found.

The circular mil is the area enclosed by a circle whose
diameter is equal to the one-thousandth part of an inch.

In referring to Table No. 2, the headings of the various
columns practically explain themselves. Where more
than three places of decimals are shown it is done Only
to show the condition of the amount in relation to the
rest of the figures.

For general work of the operator the ready reference
to his tables will not only save him considerable time and
work, but it is the most satisfactory and accurate way.

Referring to Table No. 2, the reader will notice a new
term called "Circular Mils." Now, I have already ex-
plained what a mil is, viz.: The one-thousandth part of
an inch. Therefore a circular mil is a circle whose diam-
eter is equal to a mil, and this term is a very convenient
way of expressing the size of wires, to find the number
of circular mills in any wire by taking its diameter in
mils and multiplying the diameter by itself, which gives
us at once the number of circular mills, or, in other
words, the square of the diameter of the wire expressed
in mils is equal to its area in circular mils. The multi-
plying of any number by itself once, is squaring it, or
the square of the number, such as the square of two is
four, since two multiplied by two equals four. For ex-

294

THE ROVING PICTURE WORLD.

ample, in working out wires by this method we will take,
for instance, a wire whose diameter measures a quarter
of an inch ; now, % hich equals .250 inch, or 250 mils,
then the area in circular mils is 250 multiplied by 250,
equals 62,500 circular mils. Now, again, all electrical
energy is not conveyed through round wires, but often
through square bars, such as in panel and switchboard
work, and in a case of that kind you proceed the same
way, except you multiply the width of the bar by its
thickness, which gives you the area of the same in square
mils; of course, you must remember to measure the bar
in mils, as, for instance a bar of copper one inch wide
by % inch in thickness, will be as follows: One inch
equals 1,000 mils and V4 inch equals 250 mils, so, there-
fore, 1,000 multiplied by 250 equals 250,000 square mils
in area.

Sometimes the metal aluminum is used for wires and
electrical conductors, because this metal has been so much
improved in the reduction from its oxide that it can now
be obtained at a price that can compete with copper,
but its conductivity is only about 60 per cent that of
copper, so that to use a wire of aluminum instead of
copper, it must be of a larger cross-sectional area if the
same resistance is to be maintained; but as aluminum is
so much lighter than copper a larger cross section can
be used and still compete with copper, although the cost
of aluminum may be considerably higher. For line-
construction work it is more difficult to handle than the
other metal, because joints are hard to solder and make,
also on account of the lower tensile strength of aluminum
over that of copper there is a greater liability of the
spans breaking down, although some of the alloys are
very strong and tough ; but a comparison of some of the
properties of the two metals will be interesting and a
guide for future work in this line.

Of the other metals used for wires, iron is used largely
for telegraph and telephone lines, and is seldom employed
for electric light and power on account of its high resist-
ance. Iron wire is very often used for resistance coils,
but only on account of its cheapness, because it is unre-
liable as a permanent resistance on account of its ready
affinity for the oxygen of the atmosphere through rust-
ing and therefore changing its resistance. For those
who want to use it for this purpose or any other I here-
with give a table of its properties.

The various grades of iron wire on the market

for "Best Best," and "Best." Steel wire is often
because it is cheaper and of a higher resistance
iron, as will be seen from the table given above, and]
has the advantage of greater tensile strength.

The resistance of German silver wire varies
as you will perceive from the above table, according!
the materials and methods of manufacture used. Gern
silver is an alloy of copper, zinc and nickel and has!
resistance from 18 to 28 times that of copper, and"
resistance changes very slightly with the changes of t
perature; this feature makes it very suitable for ~
ance coils and rheostats.

Table No. 4 gives the properties of German silver 1
containing 18 per cent and 30 per cent, of nickel inj
composition.

There are other alloys used, but the tables of
properties can be obtained from their manufacturer^

Having gone into the subject of wires, we W" e
pass on to joints, splices, methods of making the e

THE MOVING PICTURE WORLD.

295

series of about 20 motion pictures have recently
made in and about the Walkover plant, at
>cton, Mass., for the George E. Keith Co. The pic-
es show two exterior views of the factories, one of
showing especialy the 3,600 operatives leaving the
nt at the close of the day. The other views are of sev-
1 of the principal processes of shoe manufacture, be-
ning with the cutting of the upper leather, and follow-
on through cylinder vamping, bottoming, heeling and
jhing processes, until at last the shoe is shown being
Iced into paper cartons, and finally being loaded into
freight cars at the door of the Walkover freight
ise. The pictures are educational in purpose, and
e taken as a result of numerous inquiries received
m educators throughout the United States for pic-
showing adequately the method of modern shoe-
king. The study of commercial geography in many.
the public schools of this country includes the study
low things are made, and shoes, being one of the prin-
.1 articles of wearing apparel, come in for a share of
:ntion.

t is now the purpose of the George E. Keith Co. to
m these moving pictures to the largest number of
iple throughout the world, beginning with the United
ites, where, as a starter, arrangements have already
n completed with the Keith theatrical circuit to ex-
it the pictures in the houses controlled by them. In
lition to this, arrangements are being made to show
views before audiences in Summer gardens, at Chau-
qua assemblies, conventions of educators and teach-
; and, if they are called for, to be shown before any
h school audience in the United States, in which event
ecturer would accompany the pictures, and an exhibit
wing the actual parts of the shoes would be given.
Hie Edison Manufacturing Co., who took these photo-
iphs, have agreed that no other shoe plant shall be
itographed by them, and this amounts to an exclusive
vilege for the Geo. E. Keith Co., as the recent de-
ion of the highest court of the United States gives
omas A. Edison complete protection over all other
ving picture men, stating that all other moving pic-
e machines are an infringement. This series of pho-
iraphs w ili undoubtedly open up the field for the mov-
: picture men for the photographing and exhibiting
the different industries of the world, which would, of
iree, be of inestimable value from an educational
ndpoint.

h private exhibition of these views was given at
ith's Boston theater last Friday and was very satis-
tory. Another private showing will be made a little

M a meeting of the license committee of the Paterson,
J-> Board of Aldermen the application of Baker &

Ross for a license to conduct a moving picture show at
122 Main street again came up and Alderman Quigley
stated that while he was opposed to any more moving
picture shows being located in that city, as they were
becoming a nuisance, he thought that as Baker & Ross
had spent considerable money in fixing up their place of
business it would be a good idea to have a committee
appointed to see whether the place had been properly
safeguarded against fire and every provision for the safety
of the public attended to before there was any further
talk of granting a license. Such a committee was ap-
pointed and it will render its report at a meeting to be
held.

Thomas A. Edison and the various phonogarph com-
panies in which he is interested were dealt a severe blow
Friday, July 5, when Supreme Court Justice Martin J.
Keogh of Westchester County rendered a decision bar-
ring all dealers in this State from selling or handling
Edison records or supplies without the permission of the
New York Phonograph Company.

The dealers throughout the State, of which there are
nearly 1,000, are ordered to give an accounting of all
records sold for twenty years. It is estimated that more
than $25,000,000 is involved in the suit.

The phonograph war has been waged through the
courts for many years and nearly all of the courts have
decided against the Edison interests. Thomas A. Edison
was made to take the stand and testify at one of the
hearings.

It is alleged that although the National Phonograph
Company, one of the Edison concerns, was ordered by
the court not to sell phonographs or supplies in this State,
the dealers were encouraged to do so. The New York
Phonograph Company maintains it purchased the sole
right to sell Edison machines and records in this State.

Justice Keogh granted an injunction on June 25 re-
straining the Edison concerns from selling in the State.
The Edison interests appealed, and the case was argued
Wednesday, July 3, before Justice Keogh, who an-
nounced his decision as above.

The New York Phonograph Company asserts that in
1887 it became owner in perpetuity of the Edison rights
in this State by paying $250,000. Shortly after the con-
tract was made, it is asserted, the Edison agents began
to violate the contract by selling in the State, and later
it was impossible for the New York company to purchase
supplies.

Agents of the New York company were sent to the
establishments of the 1,000 dealers in the State to collect
evidence. Lawyer Hyman, for the New York company,
also had notices of the injunction sent to all the dealers.
Edison records were purchased of nearly all of the
dealers.

The legal fight virtually drove the New York Phono-
graph Company to the wall. In a suit brought against
the jobbers and dealers of the State a suit against Solo-
mon B. Bavegp was tried as a test case. All the dealers
and jobbers agreed to abide by the decision in this case.

Bavego was compelled to put up a bond of $50,000 to
insure the amount of his profits. A series of individual
suits were also brought against dealers aggregating
$10,000,000.

License Inspector Charley Jehl, of Memphis, Tenn.,
. collected $100 each from Dinstuhl's and the Palace for
operating theatoriums, and for the same privilege col-
lected $50 from the Ruby, the first two being for six
months, and the latter for three months.

296

THE MOVING PICTURE WORLD.

Assistant City Attorney Marion G. Evans advised
Mayer Malone that theatoriums should be classed as the-
aters, and pay the privilege tax of $200 per annum, hav-
ing the right, however, to make these payments'' in quar-
terly installments. The mayor thereupon instructed the
license inspector to collect the taxes.

Mr. Jehl notified all theatoriums that they must pay up
to date or not open. The majority, he believes, will pay,
but he expects a number to quit business.

Building Commissioner Newton has made the same
contention, holding that theatoriums must have exits the
same as theaters, and Mr. Evans is preparing a set of
rules which he will see enforced hereafter, looking espe-
cially to stopping the crowding of the aisles and making
sure of a good rear exit.

When Magistrate Hylan in the Gates Avenue Court,
July 1, called the name of Louis Cohen there was no re-
sponse. Cohen is one of the business men in Brownsville
who operated a moving picture show and who was ar-
rested several times in succession for keeping his place
open on Sundays. June 27 Cohen was held in $1,000
for Special Sessions and -allowed until July 1 to furnish
bonds. He failed to qualify, and the magistrate ordered
a warrant to be issued for his apprehension.

Geo. Gray and Jake Holmes, of Salem, 111., are pre-
paring to open a moving-picture show in the near future.

The new Royal Electric Theater, South Main street,
Fond Du Lac, Wis., is open. For the electric light to supply
the stereopticon and moving pictures, an electric motor
and dynamo have been installed, converting the electric

The Glen Falls, N. Y., Council, Knights of Columbus,
have completed arrangements for an outdoor moving
picture establishment in connection with their new home
on Maple street, located on a lot 66 by 150 feet in the rear
of the recently purchased Mott residence. The attraction
will be strictly high class in every detail, the proceeds to
be used toward defraying the expenses of purchasing
and maintaining the new home. The Knights plan to
produce the pictures entirely in the open air throughout
the Summer, without the use even of a tent, thus provid-
ing a cool place for the amusement loving public of the

village.

M; J. Farnbaker, of Cairo, has closed a contract with
Messrs. George Goodman and Matt Carney for a lease
on The Kentucky Theater, Paducah, 111., from July 1 to
September 1, and started in a "sure enough moving pic-
ture show" on the former date. He said : "I give all the
effects. If you see an auto race in my show you not only
hear the 'honk, honk,' but you can hear the buzzing en-
gine and smell the scorching rubber tires when the ma-
chine is buckling down to 80 miles per. If you see a
lunatic asylum scene, you can hear the maddened cries
of the 'nutty ones/ you can hear the horses run in fire
alarms ; can in fact get the benefit of every effect possible
to make the scene more realistic." Mr. Farnbaker has
just finished a season at the Marlowe Theater in Jack-
son, Tenn., where he gave a moving picture show. For
an operator he has Mr. Herman W. Niestadt.

seat 550 people. The theater has four large exits, the

Although a strong sentiment exists throughout the
State for an open Sunday, Bristol, Conn., demonstrated
that it still retains the Puritanical ideas. The Home
Amusement Theater, which recently opened its doors
there, advertised a free motion picture show and long
jefore the starting time the place was crowded to the
doors. The conduct of all concerned was orderly
throughout, but continual complaints were made to the
local police, who requested the manager of the show to
stop the performance. This request was complied with
rod the big crowd was turned out, to their great dis-
appointment. One progressive young American com-
mented upon the fact that New Britain and Hartford
allow moving picture shows on Sunday and thought it
peculiar that a free exhibition in heavenly Bristol would

not be tolerated.

Hartford, Conn., July 4. — Theodore I. Drummond, of
St Louis, a wealthy tobacco manufacturer, will probably
insult a lawyer as to the validity of the security before
ie invests any more of the money he made in the manu-
acture of tobaccos in first mortgage bonds of Luna Park
» other enterprises in this city. Mr. Drummond is the
pan now behind the Luna Park enterprise in West Hart-
°nli which was promoted by the Chatford Company.
ie has bonds of the company for which he paid about
'loo.ooo, and other money he invested in the property
aafcs a total of about $150,000.

Mr. Drummond has learned that the bonds are not
valid, and that the Chatford Company was never legally
organized. The Legislature has refused to assist Mr.
Drummond, rejecting resolutions to validate the organ-
ization of the company and to validate the bonds. Mr.
Drummond holds substantially all of the bonds issued,
although there are two other holders for small amounts
in this city. The Chatford Company was organized by
out-of-town promoters. Not over two men in this city
bought bonds, but Theodore Drummond came out of the
West and took up the bulk. Harrison B. Freeman, Jr.,
who reperesents the Chatford Company, said that it was
organized under the laws of this State to run Luna Park,
the articles of organization being drawn up by a New

York lawyer.

Miamisburg, Ohio. — A meeting of council was held re-

was passed. On motion the license for moving picture
shows will hereafter be $15 per month.

In this day and age of moving picture popularity the
manager of picture shows is kept busy thinking up some
new and novel additions to his entertainment in order
that his may prove a winner with the show-going public.
One of these additions, and, in fact, the most pleasing
one, is mechanical effects or sound effects as they ar»
more commonly called. Quite a large percentage of those
who attend moving picture entertainments where sound
effects are successfully used, are kept guessing as to
how they are produced.

For instance, the sound of horses' hoofs upon a paved
street is made very realistic by the use of a pair of
cocoanut shells which are applied to a marble slab in a
corresponding manner to the gaint of the horse, changing
from a walk to a trot or gallop as may be the speed of
the horse in the picture. Sand paper blocks are another
useful article and have a number of uses, the escape of
steam from a locomotive, exhaust of an automobile, splash
of water and a number of other effects are produced by
this common article. A dozen whistles, bells, pieces of
steel and broken glass are also brought into use.

To illustrate shots a pistol with blank cartridges is
most commonly used ; but as the nervous systems of most
people, especially the ladies, are very much wrought upon
by the loud report of a pistol, the use of a hollow block at
the end of a stick when brought in contact with the
marble slab, produces a good effect and does away with
the harsh report of a gun. To enumerate all the different
methods employed in the work of illustrating and to de-
scribe all the uses to which articles are put would require
days and incidentally some columns of news space ; suffice
it to say that the successful man on mechanical effects has
much to learn and is at least a busy man while the pic-
tures are being shown.

THE MOVING PICTURE WORLD.

having happened fifteen years before. The murder scene
took place in the woods in the dead of Winter when the
murdered man was driving homeward from an inn in the
snow. The woods near the moving picture factory were
utilized for this on a snowy day last Winter, and the whole
thing was acted out, a dummy figure being struck with
the ax of the murderer. Some things can be faked in
the moving picture, but never action. That must be
genuine.

When the actors in moving picture dramas set forth
from the factory to the nearby woods to be pictured for
various scenes there is usually an accompanying string
of small boys and curiosity seekers who follow in their
train and sometimes interfere with the taking of the pic-
tures. Sometimes the onlookers become so absorbed in
the drama that is going on that they stray within the focus
of the camera and mar the reality. Occasionally they add
a note of naturalness to it, however. One day recently
a fight between two men was under way for a picture
when a bulldog in the neighborhood, having his spirit
stirred by watching the encounter, rushed in and grabbed
one of the combatants by the trouser leg. It helped the
picture immediately, but as it happened the plate was not
good and when the picture was taken over again, nothing
could induce the dog to repeat his part of the perfor-
mance. Sometimes spontaneous, unrehearsed acts make a
picture much more valuable.

When a good theme for a moving picture drama has
been found, too much trouble cannot be taken to find
just the right setting and the necessary properties to
make the thing real and genuine to the eyes of the on-
looker. The other day when a pig was needed for one oi
the pictures, a boy was sent into the regions around the
factory to get one. It seemed an easy thing to find, but
the messenger scoured the country for miles around and
nothing that vaguely resembled a pig could be found any-
where. For two days the moving picture man telephoned
vigorously and no pig in all New York or Brooklyn was
forthcoming, when finally a man in Jersey City located
one. The messenger was hurriedly sent forth and told
without fail to bring back that pig before the day. was
over. Toward 9 o'clock at night the boy came wearily
in with the squealing pig in his wake.

Once half of a troublesome series of pictures had been
taken and the manager arranged for the other half to be
made on another day. At the appointed time the whole
cast appeared at the moving picture studio except the
hero. The manager was in despair, because he was in a
hurry for the pictures. The hero was tall and blond and
there was nobody that could possibly be substituted except
one of the scene painters who was short and dark. The
experiment was made with the substitute hero in place
of the real, however, and the pictures were finished, with
the hope that they are turned out so fast that the sud-
den change in the hero would not be noticed.

In order to add to the reality of the moving pictures,
music is always played while the actors .pose. A very

fine phonograph is one of the important properties of the
factory. When there is a picture where quick modoa
is needed, a lively record is played by the phonograph-
where pathos or emotion is to be expressed, some oi the
plaintive music from Carmen or Peer Gynt is used ; and
where there is a dream scene mysterious music is played
It is wonderful help to the actors in throwing themselves
into the part.

As a great variety of scenery is needed in the plays that
are introduced, the moving picture man has to be on the
keen watch for localities that can be adapted for his pur-
poses. Though some of the wildest of Western scenery
is often introduced, there are very few scenes for which
some bit within a few miles of the city cannot be found
and utilized. The man behind the camera knows many
a trick of focusing whereby a small excavation can be
made to look like a deep, treacherous gorge, and a slight
hill like a rugged mountainside. In a Western drams
where such rugged looking scenes were introduced that
in England the pictures called forth a column article
about the wild scenery in America, the gorges were in
reality excavations for houses on the outskirts of Brook-
lyn within a few yards of the trolley line, and the steep
mountain side was rocks in the park. The huts and in-
teriors and unusual scenes are usually the result of the
painter's brush and are merely of canvas.

The way the moving picture man explains the scena
of an automobile running up to a house and climbing right
over the top is that the picture is taken with the machine
really approaching the cottage. Then the front of tin
house is painted on canvas and laid flat on the ground
The automobile goes over the painted house while the
man with the camera takes the picture from above. That
picture is joined right on to the other where the auto-
mobile is approaching the cottages and the effect is of the
machine climbing over the house.

The mysterious pictures where one sees a knife cutting
bread without the aid of the -hand, a pitcher pouring milk,
sugar dropping in the tea, the saucer walking off the table,
etc, is explained by what is called stop-work on the part
of the camera, and is a very tedious process. The artick
that is to move, for instance, the knife, is moved by some
one the tiniest bit at a time and after it is moved the
camera takes each stage and stops, instead of continuing
taking many pictures in a second. Gradually little by little
the knife is pictured approaching- the bread and finally ap-
pears cutting it. When the pictures are joined together
and moved at the enormous rate at which the pictures art
shown, the effect is of the knife moving itself in some
mysterious way. It takes a whole day sometimes to wort
out one of these pictures that is shown in a few seconds.

THE WINNING OF THE ENGLISH
A MOVING PICTURE FILM SHOWING THE

1907.

JULY 18th.

; mum

Richard Croker's horse " Orby " won the English Derby of 1907, the most famous race of the year, against the pick of
England's best. The English Derby is recognized as the most classical event of its kind, and its winner gains the highest
honors possible in horse racing.

Croker's horse, Orby, was bred in Ireland, his dam, Rhoda B being an American mare, bred in Kentucky. The winning
of the Derby by Orby surprised all England, 'and could not be called popular there, as his claims were ridiculed before
the race, but Ireland rejoiced in every valley and hill top when his success was announced. Croker refused $175,000 for the
horse after the race.

It is surprising what the lack of two small letters
makes in the meaning of a sentence. For the want of
the word "no" our last week's editorial was incomplete;
the last sentence but one, commencing at the fourth
line from bottom of page 291, should read: "But is it
not a fact that no unanimity of purpose exists in the
ranks of the manufacturers — each is ready to belittle his
fellow?"

THE LIFE OF FILMS.

A letter from a correspondent furnishes us with our
text for this week. It reads: "I should like to know
what the average life of a film is, and upon what experi-
ence the estimate has been based ; and if any continuous
run experiments have been made for the purpose. Also,
where the failure of a film shows itself — whether in the
wear of sprocket holes or in the deterioration of the
picture, and the cause of it. What is the life of a picture
machine?"

The answer to the above questions could be summed
up in the word "carefulness." The operator is to a large
extent responsible for the life of a film ; if he is careful
in handling it, the film will do good work. We well re-
member the film of the funeral procession of the late
Queen Victoria of England which we exhibited 128 times
and sold for two-thirds the price we gave for it orig-
inally, the film showing very little wear. Another film
we had and used some 150 to 200 times, then sold to
a friend who is using it to-day, as per a letter from him,
saying the film is as fresh to an audience as ever, and
it must have been used during the past five years at least
500 times and still is good. We have no data of any
continuous experiments being made. We were convers-
ing with a film renter, and he asked our opinion as to
the cause of the tearing of films at the sprocket holes.
We noticed that it was the film of a French maker, and
asked if he had the same results with other makes. He
replied : "Yes, the films of an English firm always go the
same." The film in question had been used only three
times, and had not paid its way by any means. Our sug-
gestion was: "Send it backhand make the importers
responsible," but found this was not feasible. The
picture rarely deteriorates except by scratching or tear-
ing, and, if all conditions are right, should last, until the
film is worn out and discarded.

If a film is of a good make, commanding a fair price,
with a reasonable profit, there is no reason why it should
not last as long as those in our hands did. The ten-
dency nowadays is for the dealer to undersell his rival,

THE MOVING

and- as a consequence, to get this cheap line on £he mar-
ket quality goes by the board, "and. quantity, shoddy in
its make, looms large. We were talking the othervday

to an importer who said "I sell my films for !"

"Why?" we asked in astonishment. "Because So-and-so
sells his at such and such a price, and I am always going
to undercut him, to sell mine every time." We retorted
then, and still say, such a policy is not just, it" is suicidal
and detrimental to the best interests of the business,
and, if carried out, will surely rebound to the discredit
of the firm who resorts to such practices, and will ulti-
mately land him in the bankruptcy court. We have a
distinct recollection of a French firm cutting prices in
England, and all others had to fall in line if their goods
were to be taken by the trade. The same thing occurred
over here. With what result? To meet the cheap sale
something had to be sacrificed. What ? The film, of
course ! The celluloid base' was cheapened and the result
is, it will not stand the wear and tear, and so breaks off
at the perforations and strips all the way down, when it
has once got the start, to the complete destruction of the
film.

But stop a little, this is not all. The machine has some-
thing to do with it. If the machine is in perfect order, the
sprockets made to gauge and nothing out of gear, the
film will stand a good wear and pay profits. Iron sprock-
ets badly fitted, chain gears badly spliced, bearings badly
drilled, will aid in ruining any film run through such a
machine.

To sum up. A bad machine will ruin a good film.
While a good machine will add to the life of a poor film.
- The life of a machine varies (according to the make)
from one season to six years and more; this latter- is the
life of a machine purchased in 1901 and still in use, doing
its duty- with an average of ten shows a day, for the past
three years. The highest quality always pays best in the
end,- no matter what it costs.

PICTURE, WORLD,

With the Yellow Wesson. Show.
By Louis Wood. .• -

Just because Jonah's pelt was yellow that color became
the accepted choice of the Bonheur Bros. Then that
wholesome superstition of the color, held by showmen, as
a bringer of bad luck, caused many an old trouper to
presage disaster to their enterprise. .

Like soldiers and sailors, showmen have their mascots.
Many show people are. of such a serenely superstitious
nature that they believe in all sorts of signs and omens,
placing implicit faith in the potency of charms. Their
favorite amulets being horse shoes and four leafed clovers
made into tiny golden pendants and worn on the person
to ward Off evil. Transactions made on Friday or on the .
thirteenth, day of the month are fruitful of disaster. To
join a show in defiance of the unlucky day or the ominous
digits is to court misfortune and direst peril.

A merry clown once disdained the old-time supersti-

tion, bur subsequently told his experience in liuniorou]
verse from which a stanza is given as follows :

•

"I'm not afraid of Jonah's, but there are certain thingj
you know, ■---.

We don't like to run against while traveling with a shosf
The Jonah that was feared more than anything elsel'vi
; .seen,' -■■....■..
Was that well-known hoodoo called the number thine
I started out to join the show upon a Friday night,
But I was thirteen minutes late, the train was out 03

sight;
I caught a freight with thirteen cars, Fd thirteen

to go,
It took me thirteen hours to reach the Yellow Wa
Show."

■.'■■■■■ .'•..•'■'■<

A comedian once complained that in spite of having j
good act, with the ability to present it; he could nevt
make a hit, couldn't keep a dollar of his salary, and
constantly followed by a wicked nemesis that brought 1
bad luck. • . .

"But I never will be lucky, for I was. born on the thirjf
teenth," was his discouraged soliloquy.

"If you was born on the thirteenth, allow me to suggesi
as a remedy that you wear a yellow necktie," solemnly enf
joined the manager without the slightest hesitation.

"But that's a Jonah, too," said the comedian in dismay!
"yellow is a color that I have always avoided and neve
would allow among my wardrobe. That, would be addic.
a Jonah to a Jonah."

"Well, it takes a diamond to cut a diamond, and I reel
ommend it to you as a talisman to divert the evil m
your birth just as a physician prescribes a counter-irrilj
tant to cure a painful ailment. Yellow and thirteen make
the proper combination ; just try it."

The comedian jumped at the idea and exclaimed,
take your advice and if it .turns out as you say, so M|
me goodness, I'll wear a yellow necktie for the rest of 1
life," and he hastened out to find the yellow tie at tfe|
nearest clothing store.

The so-called talisman proved so effective that
comedian is~now a manager wittv a successful comparjj
of his own and, to use his own phraseology, has "mone.
to throw at the birds." He really believes the yellow tie
his mascot and responsible for his wonderful prospenfcf
He has had it patched up and covered with new silk c|
the golden tint so often that it is doubtful if any of tK
old tie remains, yet no other tie would answer so w9
and to change it wholly for another he sincerely belk
would spoil his phenomenal luck.

It was recorded as a curious fact that wherever the ye
low wagon show . appeared" rain fell, even in the w>
places. This was often commented on during the se
of 1901 while on tour through Kansas. The blazing'
of the July sun sapped the smaller streams and destroys
the vitality of the prairie grass. The trees along the fl«j

crowd into the utmost confusion, in the panic Mat en-
sued the poor old gentleman lost his hat and came near
losing his balance. He .was quickly helped to his feet
and suddenly remembered some pressing business requir-
ing immediate attention at the store.

"Come back; it's all over!" yelled the operator, laugh-
ing at the crowd who were giving him a .wide berth.

"Take yer word fer it," panted the gray haired mer-
chant, never once looking around.

"Don't forget the rain!" cried the operator, strongly
emphasing the word, tickled at the commotion produce*!
by the hissing gas.

"It'll rain pitchforks with sawlog handles," yelled Sig.
Tyson, chuckling impishly.

Curiously enough, as every citizen of Beaumont will
truthfully aver, the clear afternoon sky began to darken
with rapidly approaching clouds. A few moments of
anxious watching and orders were given to pull clown
every stitch of canvas, even to the horse tent. The work
was happily accomplished just as the fierce head wind
struck the show lot. Torrential rain and hail fell, doing
much damage to windows in the town. Eighty acres of
growing flax owned by Frank .Reed was mowed slick
and clean by the hail and swept away to parts unknown
The hurricane redoubled after a lull at nightfall, break-
ing down shade trees, wrecking frail houses and over-
turning topheavy show wagons unsecured by deeply
driven stakes. It was not until after midnight that the
rain subsided, leaving the ground in a bad condition for
traveling.

A voice sounding distant in the heavy gloom of dawn,
startled the gas maker as he lined up with, the wagons
moving with difficulty from the rain-soddert camp. It was
the gray haired merchant, out thus early with a farewell
greeting.

"Say, stranger, I reckon that new-fangled rain makin'
thing o' youm is no fake. Ye brought rain sure's scat.
But, say, when you're makin 'gas agin, for ther Lord'«
sake, don't let out so tarnel.much. You cum' mighty nigh
blowin' the hull town away !" — From Tales of the Yellozv
IVagott Shows, by Louis Wood.

up diannels of small creeks dropped their leaygpFat every
fitful breeze and some of the less vigorous variety died
from the effect of the long continued droudi. Cut tor-
rents of rain actually followed the appearance of the show
in these drouth-stricken districts where not a drop of rain
had fallen for months. Considerable publicity was given
this fact by the newspapers and the ever alert press agent
in advance of the show seized the golden opportunity to
boost the exhibition by sending the stories broadcast until
it came to pass that the yellow wagon show was looked
upon as a genuine mascot and harbinger of good times in
the afflicted districts. Unbelieving skeptics declared the
newspaper assertions were just "pure gas," and this dec-
laration was not at all erroneous. The gas that was made
for projecting moving pictures seemed accountable for
the rain which invariably fell when the gas was allowed
to mix with the air by accident or design.

At Beaumont, Kan., the merchants had been reading
the stories in the illustrated papers, furnished by the en-
terprising advance man. The drouth and the rain pro-
ducing gas were the only topics of conversation for a
week previous to the arrival of the show. When it did
arrive and the camping spot was come to, the merchants
joined the town boys- to watch the yellow wagons give
forth their dust soiled crew. The big tent went up with
great celerity while the cooks Unloaded wash pans and
coffee dishes, kindled fires and the camp began to take on
the freshness and glitter which night had rubbed off.
Then they saw the moving picture machine unloaded.
End all the paraphernalia of the gas making outfit fol-
lowed. ,

"There's the thing we've bin readin' 'bout," said one.

"0' course 'tis ; but it's all a tarnel humbug!" laughed. a
gray haired merchant, as they gathered around to see how
it was done, while the gas maker began screwing the
rarious pipes together and connecting them to the retort.

"You mustn't think because we're a bit curious the!
we're goin' to take stock in this yere rain maikin' thing,"
continued the gray haired merchant, who seemed to think
he ought to be back attending to business at the store, "in-
stead of foolin' 'round investigatin' a new fangled dodge
gotten up by a swindling show feller to hoodwink the
public."

Another said :

"We ain't had rain here for over eight weeks and if
they can make it rain I'd be mighty glad of it."

All this time" the gas tank was rapidly filling up with
the elastic fluid. The retort was almost at a white heat
and the chemicals inside were melting, like snow in a
ramace. The charge must have been larger than usual
oat the indicator seemed clogged and was moving rather
slow.

Make it ram, did you say?" sneered the gray haired
merchant. "Bah! They kain't do it. They ain't no mortal
man thet can make it rain." . T $

A Strong Indictment of the Slot
Machines. Is it Deserved?

There are various degrees of sublimity. "Degrees,"
did I say ? The remark is misleading. There are various
orders of sublimity. There is the Sublimity of Good and
the Sublimity of Evil.

Of the former, it is but necessary to recall the remark
of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. When that brilliant writer
and conversationalist was asked one day to state the
sublimest passage in literature his lightning-like reply
was: "God said, Let there be light, and there was light."

This may be called the Sublimity of Good.

For the Sublimity of Evil we must go to Milton's
Paradise Lost — to be specific, to the laugh of Satan after
he had fairly succeeded in breaking up the bliss of Para-
dise.

It was an awful laugh, grim, sardonic, infernal, the
laugh of him whose creed was : "Evil, be thou my good !"

Milton was an idealist of the first water, as ignorant
of the world as a new-born babe; and yet in his great
epic he was simply anticipating what was to be the actual,
cold-blooded practice of his descendants in the New
World two centuries later.

In other words, the living, practical, work-a-day illus-
tration of the diabolism of Satan's laugh at the consum-
mation of his evil design is to be found in' the Penny-in-
the-Slot Arcade, where, for a cent, the boys and girls
of New York and other American cities may be intro-
duced to the pictures that weaken the body, -contaminate
the soul, and wind up in the general physical, mental
and moral demoralization to which, very appropriately,
we may give the name of "Hell."

There are thousands of men and women in New York
to-day who owe their first introduction to evil to these
same arcades, wherein, for, "just a penny," they were
shown the pictures that started them along the down-
ward way to ruin.

You meet these human, "degenerates" at every turn.
They were born all right. In the blood that they inherited
from their parents there was no "virus," no "taint." It
was clean and sweet, and would have -remained so but for
the jolt given by the "civilized" amusement of the picture
arcades.

I believe, in my soul, that our so-called civilization is
retrogression rather than progress. As far back as the
"Age of Pericles," 400 B; C, the Athenians erected in
their city an altar to Pity; but when, even in the metrop-
olis of the New World, is there any pity for the victims
of modern greed?

For money, for the augmentation of the bank account,
New Yorkers are willing to damn their fellow human
beings, body and soul.

If the people of New York were so disposed, they could
stop the picture-arcade curse within forty-eight hours;
but they do not stop it. And why ? Because the people of
New York, individually and severally, are so bent on
money-making that they have no time to look after the
moral, spiritual, or even physical condition of their young
people.

This is plain talk, but it is God's truth, and in the end
such truth is the best thing to deal in.

But, all politics and diplomacy aside, the time has come
to rid the city of its greatest moral menace. Sunday,
Monday, by day or by night, you can see, if you will
make the rounds, thousands of our young people gather

the pictures in question are not art. They are carefully
arranged shows for the destruction of the mental and
moral fiber of our young people ; and, so long as the pen
, nies come in the transaction, from the viewpoint of the
men behind the machines, is perfectly legitimate.

But, is it legitimate?. Let the fathers and mothers <
Greater New York answer.

And let them answer soberly and seriously— not flip-
pantly and carelessly, but solemnly, as under the Great
Taskmaster's eye.

Let it be religiously borne in mind that the young p (
pie of to-day need no inducement to evil. They will find
out the dark side of life easily and quickly enough with
out being coached by the side shows of perdition .

Either the State Legislature or the City Council should
do something at once to mitigate the "crying evil in ques-
tion.

It is a condition that calls for immediate action, ai
the "statesman" who succeeds in bringing forth the'rei

Messrs. Williams, Brown & Earle offer to the trades
new rewinding device, which the above cut illustrates!
It is arranged so as to handle two 10-inch reels, and botn
reels are held in position on the rewinder, thus obviating
the necessity of holding one reel in the hand and winding
with the other hand, which has been the method employe
in many of the rewinders on the market. The rewindej
can be attached to any table or shelf, fits any size reel u|
to 10 inches and should be part of the equipment oj

We were delighted last week to receive a call from an
old friend, John G. Avery, of the Urban Trading Com-
pany, who was paying a visit of part pleasure and part
business to his home country. Speaking of the prospects
of business, he informed us that everything was in a
prosperous condition ; that arrangements had been made
for large imports of their productions, and in. the Fall,
when business opens up in full with the nickelodeons,
some very fine films of popular subjects would be sent
over. American films are not so popular in England as
the English are here, perhaps owing to the nature of
the subjects sent. The audiences have been educated up
to the best, so that hold-ups, train robberies, etc., are not
so acceptable. Wake up, Messrs. Manufacturers 1 You

such st<-ps have been threatened several times. He has
not yet decided whether to fight the matter or to find a

In his quarterly report, sent to Mayor McClellan, Po-
lice Commissioner Bingham, of New York, recommends
the revoking of many of the licenses now held by nickel-
odeon shows, 5-cent theaters and cheap vaudeville per-
formances which are running throughout Greater New
York and urges that steps be immediately taken to sup-
press all those resorts that have been complained against.
In his report General Bingham said that the suppression
of these cheap shows which violate the law would be a
prominent factor in the betterment of city conditions and
he appeals to the Mayor not to be lenient in permitting
the renewal of licenses. He adds that in every case re-
ported the Police Department is prepared to give corrobo-
rative evidence. Most of the complaints were forwarded
by the Children's Society, which charged that small boys
and girls under the age of sixteen were admitted to these
places, which are a menace to the morals of children.

[When will this persecution cease? The owners of
these places have done all in their power to improve
them, have obeyed unjust exactions in many instances and
are trying to comply with public sentiment as never be-
fore. If the Children's Society would use their efforts
in suppressing the revolting crimes in Harlem, it would
be more commendable than the petty spite they show
towards the 5-cent theater. — Ed.]

picture machine," the first one put on public vxbibition
at Coney Island showed a disposition to make^ very 005.
sible concession to "economic demand." "When you
dropped a nickel into the slot, the world's late.-t science
set into operation, with all the activities of hie, a stren-
uous prize-fight, in which everything attractive was pres-
ent except the sight of blood.

If Mr. Edison lost neither flesh nor sleep because of
this, he was waiting perhaps for the news from St. Louis
this week, when the disused galleries of a St. Louis
church are being cleaned and put in order to accommo-
date the crowd for which there was "standing room
only" last Sunday night when the minister reinforced his
sermon with "moving picture" illustrations.

Why not? The pictures used were Tissot's and each
one of them is a sermon in itself, putting into form and
color the thought of a man whose purpose it was to
make his life and his life-work a sermon.

Even on the sidewalks, in some parts of St. Louis
now, you may drop a penny in the slot, with a chance
of learning something worse than you had thought of
before. The sporadic attempts made to change this for
the better through the police courts simply results nv
making the worst more artistic, so that instead of being
merely the worst in nature, it will be the worst in art
That is the very worst, although when it is 'art" in a
living picture machine, there may be no appeal against it

When the way is open to use this-same powerful ma-
chinery f6r what is best in art and in nature, why not?
Why is not Sunday one of the best days and the church,
until now half empty on Sunday evenings, one of the
best possible places for doing it?— St. Louis (Mo.) Post-
Dispatch.

More Moving Pictures. — The store in the Clark build-
ing, 10 West Main street, Middletown, N. Y., is being
altered and improved, and will be opened as a moving
picture theater, by Miller & Hayes, of Brooklyn.

Delaware, O., is to have another moving picture show.
Mr. David S. Fisher, former editor of the Delaware
Herald, \s in the city, and has leased the room which
will be vacated the 15th of this month by Campbell &
Rosenthall. Mr. Fisher recently sold his paper at War-
ren, and has taken up the moving picture proposition.
The shows at Warren and Painesville, and the one he is
to instal here, will be strictly modern and up-to-date.

PATERSON (N. J.) ALDERMEN AGAIN.

A short and yet one of the liveliest meetings that the
Board of Aldermen has had in some time was held last
week.

The first and, in fact, the only business considered was
summed up in two reports from the Committee on Li-
censes, and ended with the suggestions that a license be
accorded to Baker & Ross for a moving picture place at
122 Main street. This is the firm that has experienced
such adverse treatment in the matter of securing a license.
It is now months since the firm applied for a license.
For a week or more it has been doing business under a
temporary license granted by the committee.

The report of the License Committee bore the sign*
tures of Aldermen Quigley, Morgan, Kerwin and Daly-

Mr. Morgan jumped from his seat at this assertion
,d pointing his finger at Mr. Schielke, demanded:

•id like to ask Mr. Schielke, then, why since the time

Ill explain my vote this way," answered Mr. Schielke,
esitating for a moment. "I voted for Alderman Daley's
cense and Alderman Heinrichs' license because they are
'aterson people and not carpet-baggers from New York."

Mr. Kerwin contributed his part to the discussion. To
e consistent, he pointed out, the board should have op-
osed granting licenses to the two aldermen for moving
icture places. He also said he thought Baker & Ross's
lace the safest in the city. Mr. Quigley agreed with
lr. Kerwin in his last assertion. .

A vote was finally taken on Mr. Boylan's motion to
mend the report so as to shut Baker & Ross out of a
cense and it was lost, the vote being: Ayes, Boylan,

Credit.

Xo factor is so necessary in building up business as
jredit, and no factor is so necessary in building up credit

truth.

It is comparatively easy to start credit, but the art is
> keep credit.

The young business man who says, "I want no credit ;
I buy and sell for cash," makes a mistake. It is all right
1 pay promptly, but do not establish a spot-cash-payment
jasis, for later on, when you ask credit, your creditors
jfill think something is wrong.

Establish a credit, whether you need it or not

It is a good advertisement and a frequent help.

Be reasonably slow in paying your bills, but positively
are that you do pay them.

When you get a sharp or blunt letter, asking for a
plement. go to your creditor face to face, set a date
Mien you will make a-payment and keep your agreement.

Don't be specific as to amount unless you are decidedly
ure you can do it. Be specific as to date, however, and

! there or have you check there on the date.

Suppose a man owes you $100, and you ask him for
: and he says, "Here are ten dollars on account, and on
<*t Thursday I will make another payment, and as
[•ten as I can I will pay something until you are fully
d up." You don't get angry at that man when you

see his intentions are good and he is going his best.

So long as your creditor gets something every time
he writes it keeps him good-natured.

It is the man who breaks promises who gets hard usage
from the creditors.

If you owe more than your present cash balance can
liquidate, make a pro rata payment all around among
your creditors. Write a good square letter, saying noth-
ing would please you more than to send them a check in
full, and that this payment is made as evidence of your
willingness and intention to keep good faith.

Keep in touch personally with your creditors, as far
as possible. Talk to them of your plans and prospects ;
always tell the truth. Have your account as a moral risk
rather than as a Dun or Bradstreet risk.

There is sentiment in business. Creditors have hearts,
and they have good impulses ; they appreciate friendship,
and especially gratitude. Don't believe a word of that
great untruth : "There is no sentiment in business."

An honest, frank, heart-to-heart talk is most valuable.
The credit man keeps the truthful man in mind and his
account under his protecting wing. The credit man glor-
ies with you, and he has a distinct interest in your suc-
cess when it comes.

It often happens that the small bank or small manu-
facturer is the best place for the beginner to go for
credit. You can get closer to the small growing creditor
than you can to the big fellow who is independent.

The big bank is cold-blooded; it insists upon security
and collateral. Your account in a big bank is only an
incidental detail, and the cashier is cold, distant and blunt.
The small bank, however, gives you more time and
attention, is more interested in you and can remember
you much better than the big bank.

Avoid bad associates ; you can't play the races and giv •
wine dinners and maintain strong confidence with your
creditors.

Every time a creditor gets out of sorts go to him and
pay him something, and he will quiet down.

Be grateful, don't be afraid to express yourself freely
and frequently on this point.

When you are caught up and financially strong, stick
to those who stuck to you.

Don't get into nasty arguments or disputes. Give and
take, be fair, be square, keep your temper, stoop to con-
quer, cut out all thought of revenge.

Remember, credit is based on confidence in the indi-
vidual rather than in his bank account.

' When a house does not treat you right, curb your
temper, and as soon as you can, get in touch with some
other good house; tell the new house frankly why you
changed.

Credit is a subsidy, and it stands the hustling business
man in good stead.

Many men have started in business with a capital only
of ability, hard work, honesty and good reputation.

The use or abuse of credit determines whether a man
will rise or fall.

Keep your record clean, and if later you get on the
shoals your past will stand you in good stead.

If you have been given to sharp practice or dishonesty,
woe be unto you when you fall.

Remember these things carefully; keep in personal
- touch with your creditors, keep your promises, pay on
account when you cannot pay in full, hustle, be honest,
keep good company, don't gamble, don't be a sport. If
you practice these virtues, offers of aid will come to you
rather than flee from you. — Col. William C. Hunter, in
"The Cherry Circle."

A POET AND HIS BABIES.

WILLIAMS, BROWN & EARLE.

A poet is writing a delightful sonnet. His
wife is going out, and she brings him their
eldest to kiss; he kisses the child, but to
his horror his wife places it in a cradle by
his* side. Then she brings in the eldest but
one, and places that in an arm-chair on
the other side. Finally she brings in the
tiniest baby, and forcing that into the re-
luctant fathers arms, rushes out and leaves
him just as all three children begin to yell
their loudest The distracted father tries
to soothe first one child, and then another,
and his friend the Lieutenant enters while
he is in the middle of it He pushes the
Lieutenant into a chair, saddles all three
babies into his lap before he can say a
word and rushes from the room. The Lieu-
tenant follows as quickly as he can with
the three children in his arms. Then be-
gins a chase of the wildest and most ex-
citing order. The poet walks rapidly along
reciting his verse as he goes; his friend the
Lieutenant meeting the Colonel outside,
forces one baby into his arms and the two
give pursuit; a policeman whom they pass
is pressed into the chase and given the
third baby to carry. They dash through
the streets and out on the tow-path by the
river, followed by an ever increasing crowd
of children. Other policemen join in, and
becoming imbued with the spirit of the
thing," they seize babies from the arms of
astonished mothers as they pass, and all,
including the mothers, give chase to the
distracted poet By this time the crowd
has swelled to about one hundred, and they
swarm over fields and through hedges, and
tumble and scramble down the steep banks,
until at last the poet sinks exhausted be-
hind a blackberry bush. Then the people
carrying babies begin to arrive, and very
soon the luckless father finds himself al-
most- smothered under a heap of six
screaming, struggling mites, three of which
may or may not be his own, and three cer-
tainly are not. Next come the mothers,
and begin wildly sorting out the babies to
find their own offspring, and they all unite
in denouncing the, unhappy man, who is
marched off by the policemen.

FIRE RISKS AND CINEMATOGRAPHY.

This week's issue carries several reports of fires, a re-
port of what Birmingham, Ala., is doing, and an extract
from the New York Board of Fire Underwriters relating
to wires and machines.

The report from New Bedford, Mass., is given in full
as a guide for other States to follow. We think Massa-
chusetts is far ahead of any State in the Union in the
manner it handles the cinematograph difficulty — if diffi-
culty it can be termed — and it is an example for every
city, town and State to follow.

In New York City the police, Board of Electricity, Gas
and Water, and the Fire Underwriters, are bungling
along in a blindfolded way, putting undue restrictions on
machines, proprietors and lessees of nickelodeons, yet in
spite of all their precautions, fires occur. The fire under-
writers as a consequence raise the insurance rates, and
a legitimate industry suffers as well as' the owners of the
surrounding property.

It is like putting the cart before the horse, and we shall
not rest until we have been instrumental in getting this
changed. It is for the benefit of the trade and we trust
that they will strengthen us in our efforts to induce the
legislature to LICENSE THE OPERATOR AND NOT
THE MACHINE

Manufacturers of machines are harrassed and put
under restrictions that are overbearing in their exactions ;
and to what good ? A careless operator — a callow youth
— and all the improvements stand for nought, and fires
continue to be reported through their carelessness.

The operator in nine cases out of ten is to blame if a
fire occurs. In the tenth case it may be an accident — but
accidents should not happen. Massachusetts says the
operator must be fully qualified and show his ability, and,
after undergoing a rigid test, he proves capable, he re-
ceives a card qualifying him to operate a machine. The
machine is tested, tagged and numbered. An operator
who has not got these credentials cannot operate a ma-
chine throughout the State, except under penalties of
jail, or a fine, or both. In New York the machine is
tested, and anyone can turn the handle, there is no further
trouble, incompetency stalks forth with dire results in its
wake. If an operator was licensed and knew he would
lose his license if he had a fire, he would never have one.
Several operators in New York have had accidents and
are still working.

At South Beach, a pleasure resort of New York, the
other week, we saw a machine at work, and no fireproof
boxes were in evidence. We called the proprietor's at-
tention to the fact and told him of the risk he ran. He
shrugged his shoulders and said it was up to the supply

324

THE MOVING PICTURE WORLD.

company. The sequel came last week when a reel con-
taining some three or four subjects was destroyed by fire,
owing to the carelessness of a boy, whom the operator
told to turn the crank. He turned it the wrong way, a
beautiful blaze was the result — and but for the prompt
arrival of the firefighters there would have been heavy
damage, everything being built pf wood. Under such
circumstances the neglect of fireproof boxes is criminal.
The company operating the films is not a new concern, it
manufactures films, hires them out, and generally con-
ducts a series of shows on circuit, so that it cannot plead
ignorance of the requirements to be observed, in running
such an exhibition, and why it sent such an irresponsible
youth to so grave a risk, we cannot understand. If this
operator had been licensed, for his own credit's sake, he
would have seen that every requirement of the law was
carried out, rather than forfeit his good name and pros-
pects. We have no desire to pillory this company or hold
them up to odium, but we most emphatically call upon
them to comply with the .requirements, and fully equip
their machines with all the devices the fire underwriters
specify, and not jeopardize the lives of the public, and the
future good of the trade. Also to send fully qualified
operators to places where. more than ordinary risk pre-
vails. ■•

LIFE OF A FILM.

Talking with an old exhibitor, who was in the field
from the first inception of moving pictures, and from his
own experience he quotes the following: He has exhib-
ited a reel of 1,000 feet of film, made in the old time
quality of celluloid, 1,700 times. A record, we believe, —
or can any one of our readers show a larger number of
times one reel was exhibited, and its conditions at the
end ?

Of the present day cheapened film he gives the life, as
two-thirds of the above, or say 1,100 to 1,200 times ex-
hibited. He fully agrees with us that the machine is an
important factor in the life of a film, a bad machine les-
sens, and a good one prolongs its wearing quality.

The Cinematograph in Science
and Education.

By Charles Urban, F.Z.S., London, Eng.

Former cinematograph exhibitions of individual scien-
tific subjects in places of amusement were intended as
an introduction, and served their purpose in attracting
and compelling the attention of scientists and experts.
Possibilities, as demonstrated in the displays of three
years ago, are now accomplished facts in prepared edu-
cational and scientific series of subjects.

The entertainer has hitherto monopolized the cinemat-
ograph for exhibition purposes, but movement in more
serious directions has become imperative, and our object
is to prove that the cinematograph must be recognized
as a national instrument by the Boards of Agriculture,
Education, and Trade, by the War Council, Admiralty,
Medical Associations, and every institution of training,
teaching, demonstration and research.

The time has now arrived when the equipment of m
hospital, scientific laboratory, technical. institute, cot
private and public school is as incomplete wfthoj
moving picture apparatus as it would be withaj
clinical instruments, test tubes, lathes, globes, or n
This statement is endorsed by hundreds of teachtrsi
heads of institutions in many countries, who now rd
the educational possibilities and scientific usefulnea
the animated picture camera.

These results of the labors of trained and qnjg
scientific experts, improved upon and -accumulated q
ing a long period, have now arrived at such a stas
perfection. that we are justified in calling attention to|
various series which have been prepared. Our enda
has been to produce life-motion pictures in seqna
which give the work of text-books without their drjj
and yet impart a knowledge which cannot be gaaai
mere reading. To the student whose attention becoj
scattered by the conflicting claims of many works of j
tial scope and trustworthiness, a single series of acta
pictures is a great saving of time and labor. By a|
use of data they are treated with adequate know^
with originality and independence, and with a cleri
and comprehensiveness which make them as easy!
understand as the nature of the subjects allow.

The perfected cinematograph of to-day secures \\
pictures a minute, thus recording the very slightest
tion of the demonstrator and his subject, and the
cesses, magnified and projected with absolute a
and with a sharpness unexcelled by any still phot
are invaluable to students who have no opportu
witnessing the actual demonstrations or phenomena.
. A picture taken at one speed of the camera can be
jected at another, and, scientifically, this fact is of
utmost importance. The student needs no longer
indefinitely for various manifestations of nature to a
The picture record illustrating the growth of a plant,
instance, may occupy five or six weeks of the pic
rapher's time, but by the picture itself being projt
at a high rate of speed, the phenomena are demon*
as if the different stages of growth follow each din
the course of a few minutes, and this with scia
accuracy.

The great importance of educating through the a?
of the eye, as well as through the ear, is now Mr
knowledged and established. To-day, in every proj
conducted, up-to-date college or school, the optica!
tern is in daily use for demonstrating by means of s
the subjecfTof the lesson or lecture. The lantern!
however, no matter how ■ good, has in certain case
limitations, particularly when illustrating various a
tries, native customs, animal: bird, or insect life. ■
organisms, etc., in so much that the slide can only!
one pose, phase or position. It is for this reason^*
many others, that. the motion picture has such an
before it as an educational factor, for it is capas
showing upon the screen every movement in the
life-like manner. The leaders of science and ednc
the world over are to-day advocating the use of the'
matoeraph as a^means of vividly and truthfully *
fixating natural phenomena.

The chief difficulty of the teacher is that of stinnS
the imagination,- especially of the visualizing cy e: ^
dom conjure up with a sufficient degree of vividr* - "
tails of scenes upon which we dwell. On the I"
of cinematograph pictures, imagination builds to
left, and makes an effort to construct an edifice of as
and visible •.material as that thrown upon the screen.

Table of Carrying Capacity of Wires.
The following table, showing the allowable carrying
capacity of copper wires and cables of 98 per cent, con-
ductivity, according to the standard adopted by the Amer-
ican Institute of Electrical Engineers, must be followed
in placing interior conductors.

For insulated aluminum wire the safe carrying capac-
ity is 84 per cent, of that given in the following tables

Flexible Cord.

a. Must have an approved- insulation and covering.
(See Rule 45, page 89.)

b. Must not be used where the difference of potential
between the two wires is over 300 volts.

c. The covering of each stranded conductor must be
made up as follows:

1st. A tight, close wind of fine cotton.

2d. The insulation proper, which shall be waterproof.

3d. An outer cover of silk or cotton.

The wind of cotton tends to prevent a broken strand
frpm puncturing the insulation and causing a short cir-
cuit. It also keeps the rubber from corroding the copper.

d. The insulation must be solid, at least 1-32 inch thick,
and must show an insulation resistance of 50 megohms
per mile throughout two weeks' immersion in water at 70
degrees Fahr. It must also stand the tests prescribed for
low tension wires ar far as they apply.

e. The outer protecting braiding should be so put on
and sealed in place that when cut it will not fray out, and
where cotton is used, it should be impregnated with a
flame-proof paint which will not have an injurious effect
on the insulation.

f. Flexible cord for portable use must meet all of the
requirements for flexible cord "for pendant lamps," both
as to construction and thickness of insulation, and in addi-
tion must have a tough, braided cover over the whole.
There must also be an. extra layer of rubber between the
outer cover and the flexible cord, and in moist places the
outer cover must be saturated with a moisture-proof com-
pound, thoroughly slicked down, as required for "Weath-
erproof Wire" in Rule 44, page 89. In offices, dwellings,
or similar places where the appearance is an essential
feature, a silk cover may be substituted for the weather-
proof braid.

Moving Picture Machines.

a. The top reel must be encased in an iron box with a
hole at the bottom only large enough for the film to pass
through, and the cover must be so arranged that this hole
can be instantly closed. No solder shall be used in the
construction of this box.

b. A box must be used for receiving the film after
being shown, made of galvanized iron with a hole in the

top only large enough for the film to pass through h*
with a cover so arranged that this hole can be inst^
closed. An opening may be placed at the side of the |
to take the film out, with a door hung at the top, soi
ranged that it cannot be entirely opened, and provjj
with a spring catch to lock it closed. No solder shall
used in the construction of this box.

c. The handle or crank used in operating the mada
must be secured to the spindle or shaft, so that there 1
be no liability of its coming off and allowing the film
stop in front of the lamp. .

d. A metal pan must be placed under the arc
catch all sparks.

e. Extra films must be kept in metal boxes with tig
fitting covers.

the people of Greater New York, are living under

public in America we mean the masses; the toilers;
who eat by the sweat of their brow. The masse

A Letter of Approval.

■ditor Moving Picture World, New York City.
Dear Sir — We wish to commend you for the stand you
ave taken in regard to "blase" pictures. This is one evil
hich we contend must be guarded against.
VVe claim that the moving picture theaters fill a need
ong felt in that it affords an entertainment, which may
first-class if the manager so desires and at a price that
5 suitable for the smallest pocketbook.

We also claim that it has an educational value and
herefore should only present subjects with influence for
ood.

We hope you will continue to fight for this class of
ubjects and assure you we will at all times give you our
earty support.

A Letter of Protest.

'.ditor Moving Picture World:

Dear Sir — I notice in your issue No. 19, of July
3th, an article referring to some pictures taken by The
[dison Mfg. Co. for a certain boot and shoe manufac-
irer, in which you state that a recent decision of the
ighest of courts of the United States gives Thomas A.
!dison complete protection over all other picture men,
11 other picture machines being infringement. I would
eg to point out that this statement is incorrect, and that
le judgment in question considered simply the sprocket

pe of camera as exemplified by the Edison machine and
ie Warwick Bioscope. Other systems as, for instance,
lat of my firm, Societe des Establishment Gaumont, of
aris, who owns the Demeny or Cam system, were not
Dnsidered and therefore do not come within the limits
f the judgment

The statement you make gives to the judgment in ques-
on, very much more extended meaning than it really
as, and is likely to give place to considerable misunder-
anding. • * -

I should therefore be much obliged if you would kindly
>rrect the statement in question in some future issue.
hanking you in anticipation, I remain,

Very truly yours,
* * * H. Blackie.

At a meeting of the directors of the American Muto-
scope and Biograph Co., held July 17, the position of
general manager (held so long by Mr. Geo. Van GuyS-
ling, the vice-president of the company) was abolished.
Mr. Van Guysling, who has but recently recovered from
a severe attack of nervous prostration, has been granted
a two months' vacation and has gone South to his home.
Mr. Kennedy, the president of the company, is acting in
his absence, and is paying visits to the numerous custom-
ers of the firm in Chicago, Philadelphia, etc., adding new
life and vigor to this old established firm.

The Greater New York Film Rental Co. are nothing if
not progressive, and their little booklet "Film Rental

Weiss, tells briefly and emphatically why it is that their
film service is giving satisfaction and how it is that they
are daily adding new customers to their list. "Film
Rental Facts" and their proposition to film users is free

for the asking.

We congratulate Mr. Blackton, of the Vitagraph Com-
pany, on the admirable rendering of his skill as the car-
toonist in "Lightning Sketcher," the latest production of
this company. The photographs of this enterprising
partner of the firm and his sketches are superb, and ought

to have a large sale.

We call attention to the rheostats advertised on another
page by T. J. Weir, 1002 Noble street, Anniston, Ala.
These rheostats have several points of merit and those
who have trouble with their present outfit should write

We went through the building the other day, and saw
listed the music, songs and slides of every publisher in
the country, and the system by which the whole of the
above can be distributed amongst those who are in need,
was very much up-to-date. The Lyceum also has several
interesting propositions it makes to live managers whereby
running expenses can be materially reduced. A visit to
the Lyceum would amply repay, any one. interested. In
fact, Len Spencer's Lyceum of mirth, melody and. ideas
was an exceedingly busy hive of industry.

The Imperial Moving Picture Co. are located in the
same building, and visiting one, it is easy to call on the

other.

The representative of a "house organ" recently took
the proprietor of a Nickelodeon, who also rents films, etc,
into his confidence, and said he was now going to study
the ins and outs of the business, so that he would be
more up-to-date with his ideas, and be able to instruct
the readers as they ought to be. That, he was going to
purchase a second-hand kodak, and asked our informant
if he could give him any information about development,
etc., of the pictures, and how to use the kodak. Fancy
learning the moving picture mechanism with a kodak!

Convictions were accomplished in the third district
court, New Bedford, Mass., on the 16th inst., in the cases
against the Hathaway theater attaches, John M. Hatha-
way, resident manager and son of the proprietor, and
Edward E. Warren, an usher, as a result of the opera-
tion of the moving picture machine at the theater by Mr.
Warren, who was not licensed to perform the task. The
cases, however, were laid on file as it was the first ap-
pearance in court of the defendants on any charge. .

The object of the prosecution, as stated to the court
by State Officer Robert Ellis of Fall River, was not so
much a matter of punishing the defendants as it was to
impress upon the managements of theaters generally that
the laws provided as safeguards for audiences must be
strictly adhered to.

The summonses which were served upon Messrs. Hath-
away and Warren were the result of a slight fire which
originated with the moving picture machine just after the
matinee audience left the theater on the afternoon of
Julys.

In reference to this incident, State Officer Ellis said, in
addressing Special Justice Stetson : "My position is that
as an officer of the state police it is my duty to preserve
as far as possible the responsibility which has been placed
upon me to protect the public's safety so that there shall
be no cause for those occurrences which result in the
awful panics which sometimes take place in theaters. At
Hathaway 's theater, oh the day named in the complaint,
the moving picture machine was operated during the
afternoon performance by an unlicensed man. Just after
the performance, immediately after the audience left the
theater, the machine was again operated and in some
manner which has not yet been made clear, the films
caught on fire. The woman employe of the theater, who
was the only woman present in the theater at the time,
was so frightened that she ran into the vestibule and

shouted that the theater was on fire. There is the act of a
single woman. If the theater had been full what migbt
not have occurred? Isn't it possible and quite likely that
a panic would have resulted? Was Warren justified ia
being permitted to run the machine? We found upon
examination that the machine was in good order. What
then was responsible for the trouble if it was not lack of
knowledge and skill on the part of the operator?"

The complaints charged Mr. Hathaway with having
violated the rules of the state police by allowing Mr. War-
ren, who was not certified to do so, to run the machine-
and charged Mr. Warren with transgressing the law by
operating the machine without a license.

Robert A. Terry appeared in behalf of the defendants,
and when the cases were called entered pleas of nollo
contendere for both Mr. Hathaway and Mr. Warren.

In addressing the court in behalf of the defendants,
Mr. Terry said: "It is true that Mr. Hathaway has a
moving picture machine which comes under the regula-
tions of the state police and that it has been operated by
a person without a license. Mr. Warren, however, has
been a student engaged for at least 12 weeks in learning
the principles of how to operate the machine with a view
to taking out a license. On the afternoon of July 5 the
licensed operator was not present at the time scheduled
for the starting of the machine, and as Mr. Warren had
had experience in this line, he did start the machine. Mr.
Warren is fully competent to operate the machine, and 1
do not doubt that he would have any difficulty in being
granted a license as an operator. The trouble with the
machine did not occur until after the performance. Even
then it was a. pure accident and was not of sufficient con-
sequence to cause any concern."

Mr. Terry suggested that although the penalty for vio-
lating the law in question was not less than a $5 fine and
not more than a $500 fine, the ends of justice would be
subserved if the cases were laid on file, as the proceed-
ings were sufficient to warn the management not only o(
Hathaway's theater but of all theaters, that the laws must
be respected and obeyed.

The prosecution did not oppose the suggestion, and ac-
cordingly the cases against both defendants were laid on

file.

From Birmingham, Ala., we learn that rigid laws to
decrease the fire risk now said to be caused by conditions
around the various moving picture shows in the city wiB
most probably be adopted by the city council at an early
date.

A strong letter was written by Chief Bennett of the fire
department to Mayor Ward, among other things, makes
certain recommendations.

Here is the letter in full :

"Birmingham, Ala., July 10, 1907.
"Hon. George B. Ward, Mayor, City :

"Dear Sir — The fire that originated in the moving pic-
ture machine at the Marvel theater, located on Twentieth
street, between Third and Fourth avenues, at 7 :30 p. In-
jury 5th, clearly demonstrates the danger of operating
these machines in the congested portion of the city with-
out providing against the spread of fire that is so liable to
occur even when the machine is carefully handled.

of the audience and in almost every instance located
the best business blocks of the city where it would be
ceedingty difficult to control a fire should it be allowed

"In view of the above facts, I would respectfully rec-
omend the adoption and rigid enforcement of an ordi-
mce similar to' one recently adopted by the mayor and
neral council of the city of Atlanta, Ga., a copy of
iich I am enclosing herewith.

"Respectfully yours,

"A. V. Bennett,

The Atlanta ordinance referred to is very rigid.
In the event the ordinance is adopted by the council
iich appears very probable at present it is believed the
risk at the moving picture shows will be lessened.

From New Orleans, La., we learn at the request of the

The Protestant Ministers' Association, of New Or-

adopted resolutions at its regular meeting declaring for
the suppression of moving picture exhibitions which are
declared unfit for people to see. One of the ministers
stated that he had attended one of these shows and that
the scenes presented were offensive. The mayor will be
petitioned to stop all exhibitions of this character. (A
letter from one of the ministers who sent us the above
information states that he is in full accord with all clean,
elevating pictures, such as, for instance, he could have
exhibited in his church, and asks us to send him a list of
films we could recommend to him, so that he may be able
to lay the same before the Mayor and ask that only these
should be shown. We complied with his request, but

stated we have no desire to act as censor. — Ed.)

Canandaigua, N. Y.— The matter of granting a fran-
chise to operate a moving picture exhibit in The Candy
Kitchen, to Charles Pappanus of Rochester, was tabled
by the village trustees at their last meeting, this means
practically a refusal in the case. Pappanus stated that he
would make no further overtures to the board, and would
give up the struggle.

A. J. Gillingham, of Grand Rapids, Mich., has pur-
chased the "Vaudet," a 5-cent moving picture theater in

Joseph Kramer, a dentist at 2 East 111th street, New
York, July 17, applied to Justice Hendrick, in Special
Term, Part I., of the Supreme Court, for the issuance
of an injunction restraining Nathan Miller, Norman Mil-
ler, Hyman Miller and Joseph Horowitz, as owners of the
building, and Samuel Stone, the alleged proprietor of a
moving picture theater on the ground floor of the build-
ing 2 East 1 nth street, from permitting and continuing
the operation of the moving picture show.

Dr. Kramer set forth in an affidavit that the moving
picture show and the noise connected with it amounted to
such a nuisance that a court of equity should suppress it
by injunction. The suit is said to be the first one of the
kind brought in this State since the moving picture shows
were started, and as there are a great many moving pic-
ture shows throughout the city the action of the Court
on the dentist's application is one of considerable im-
portance.

Morris Gamber, counsel for Dr. Kramer, told the Court
that his client holds a lease on part of the second floor
immediately over the moving picture show that has two
years longer to run. He said that the show conducted by
Stone was of the 5-cent class and attracted large crowds,
including many small boys. He said that from 3 o'clock
in the afternoon until 1 1 o'clock at night a piano was kept
constantly going in the 5-cent moving picture theater
under the dentist. He also asserted that there was a
barker with a loud voice outside of the theater who also
disturbed the dentist and his patients.

Counsel for the defendants denied many of these asser-
tions.' He admitted that there was a moving picture
show in the building and said that it was rim in an ordi-
nary, quiet manner and did not constitute a nuisance.

He said that the building in question was a large apart-

ment house arid that there were in it fully fifty pianos,
each one of which, he said, was played about as much as
the one in the moving picture show. The lawyer denied
the assertion that the defendant Stone employed a barker.
He said that the alleged barker was a watchman kept
there for the purpose of maintaining order and quiet.

"I hope your Honor will walk around the premises
before deciding this case and I am certain your Honor
will find it quiet and orderly," said counsel for the de-
fendants.

"Nothing could suit me better," exclaimed the dentist's
lawyer, "and I am sure your Honor will agree with me
that the moving picture show is a nuisance."

Without making any promise to inspect the premises,
Justice Hendrick reserved decision.

* * *

The moving picture shows can be either a source of
much good or of great evil. Moving pictures with good
moral impressions can be made to interest and make
nickles for the proprietor as well as vicious vile pictures.
To place before audiences of men, women and children
such scenes as that of a tramp robbing and mercilessly
beating a young lady on a lonely road, followed up with
the capture and dragging of the perpetrator by a rope
around his neck is very repulsive to the finer sense of man.
In fact it is revolting to that degree that it should be
suppressed. Talk about the evil influence of the blood
curdling novels of the day ! They only teach those who
reach out for them. The moving picture is seen by all
classes ; many of whom expect to see elevation in the en-
tertainment, and not base depravity of the character here
mentioned. If the moving picture shows would continue
in favor they will not place on exhibition such brutal,
blood curdling pictures as here mentioned. — Capital,

was read .to the proprietors of all such places of amuse-
ment by Patrolman Harover. It runs as follows :

Film Review.

THE HYPNOTIST'S REVENGE.

BIOGRAFB.

Most of us have at some time attended
an entertainment given by some wonderful
exponent of the mysterious art of hyp-
notism, and have always noted the pres-
ence of some cynical sciolist who would
brand the professor a blatant fraud. Such
an incident opens this picture. The pro-
ducer of "brainstorms-while-you-waif is
entertaining his audience with the antics
of those under his soporific influence, when
the fellow with the not-if-I-know-it ex-
pression appears and challenges the pro-
fessor. What follows is most cogent and
convincing, but he takes his conviction with
such an ugly grace that the hypnotist be-
comes his avowed nemesis, and so follows
him for some time. First, the professor,
disguised as. a musician, attends a dance,
where he turns his victim into a veritable
whirling dervish, and in the midst of his
gyroscopic evolutions wakes him to fully
realize his embarrassment before an almost
panic-stricken assemblage. Next he ap-
pears at a banquet disguised as a waiter.
Here he induces the cynic to become crazy
drunk, and after attempting to kiss the
ladies present, he leaps on the table, kicks
the dishes in all directions and performs
such feats on the chandelier that would
cause the most wonderful trapeze artist to
turn green with envy. Again, the awful
awakening. During a wedding service the
professor makes him believe he is the bride- .
groom, and before he can be restrained he
rushes up. hurls the happy man aside and
takes his, place at the altar beside the
trembling bride-elect, to the consternation
of all present. As he regains his normal
senses he espies the cause of his plight just
leaving the church. He dashes madly after
him, out of the church, and down the street
after the cab into which the hypnotist jumps
to elude him. As the professor alights
from the cab our friend rushes up, but is
again put under the agregious hypnotic in-
fluence and made to chase the professor's
cane, which is carried off by another man.
Down the street they race, into an apart-
ment house,' then out through a window
on the lower floor, up the fire-escape and
through a window on the top floor of an
apartment, throwing the occupants into a
tumult of excitement At the entrance he
is seized by a couple of stalwart policemen
and dragged off to the Insane Pavilion of
Bellevue Hospital, where he is relieved of
his hallucination, now a firm believer in
the theories of the venerable Dr. Mesmer.
While the above is a chronicle of events,
it but feebly describes the continuous laugh-
producing situations of the film.

THE TENDERFOOT.

KAIBN.

Tenderfoot, an Eastern youth, has be-
come satiated with the emptiness of city
uie and is fired with the desire to become
a cowpuncher. Putting his house in order,
Packing his golf sticks, loading his Kodak
and putting in a reserve supply of film
rolls, he takes train and coach to a West-
em ra "ch. Heap Bad Injun is seen out-
s we the only hotel, and seating himself on
a 'og draws out a bottle of fire-water and
r «gales himself. The effects of the fire-
water are soon noticeable, but he is roused

Wu advent of *he stage coach, from
Which emerge a number of passengers, in-
cluding a Western girl, who has smitten
lenderfoot with her charms. The locaT
cowboys hasten to the coach and welcome

the newcomers. Heap Bad Injun at once
attracts Tenderfoot's attention and he pro-
ceeds to kodak him, but is prevented by
the cowboys, who take his golf sticks and
proceed to make him dance by pounding
his toes. His cries bring the girl to his
aid and she vigorously plies a cowhide to
the backs of his tormentors and drives
them off.

Tenderfoot, finding the coast clear,
fetches his camera and proceeds to focus
on Heap Bad Injun, who wakes from his
sleep and seeing the awsome kodak with
its lens pointing toward him and the owner
under the focusing cloth, stealthily stalks
over to it and with one blow of his toma-
hawk smashes it, to the astonishmen of
Tenderfoot, and before he can recover from
his surprise the Indian has borne him to
the ground and is busily trying to secure
his scalp. Tenderfoot's cries have brought
the cowboys on the scene and they rescue
him just in the nick of time from the
hands of the Indian.

Becoming more accustomed to his sur-
roundings, he essays to become a cowboy,
and donning his city-made cowboy costume
he leads forth a mustang and attempts to
mount, but finding through the merry
laughter that something is amiss, he sees
he is seated with his back to the horse's
head. Trying to dismount, he comes a
cropper. The girl then goes for a chair
for him to mount, but this proves to be as
bad, and again he comes down, with his
feet mixed up with the legs of the chair.
The cowboys then lift him bodily on to his
mustang, and off he goes, but not very
far, for a clothes line bars his path and
almost hangs him. He is caught in the
arms of the cowboys and saved from dan-
ger. He goes off, thanking them profusely
for their services.

Tenderfoot has made rapid advances into
the affections of the girl (in spite of the
escapades owing to his greenness, which
seem to give- the girl a protective influence
over him), and we see the couple making
their way through the brushwood, under
an umbrella to keep off the sun. He has
not yet given up civilized clothing, and to
see him with half city and half backwoods
attire is to smile. Making their way to a
log, they seat themselves. Tenderfoot loses
his tongue and has to assist his wooing
with the "Polite Love Maker," which he
peruses and then expresses the sentiments,
to the delight of the girl, who urges him
to hurry up by all the wiles of her sex.
Gradually, as he warms up to the subject,
he places his book on the stump of a tree,
so that both hands may be free to embrace
the girl. The cowboys, scenting fun, have
trailed the couple to their trysting place,
and cautiously approaching, listen to the
fervid orations, to their great delight and
amusement. Tenderfoot, turning to regain
his book (which has been taken by one of
the cowboys), loses some time in getting it,
looking for it in the roots of the stump.
While he is thus engaged, one of the cow-
boys touches the girl and she finds there
have been eavesdroppers to their wooing.
At a sign from the cowboy she changes
places with him and prepares to enjoy a
little frolic at the expense of her lover.
Tenderfoot has now recovered his book and
again essays to make love a la carte, the
cowboy snuggling close up to him as the
girl did, and after a most fervid appeal to
the sympathies of the girl Tenderfoot drops
the book and is about to passionately kiss
the girl when he discovers whom he has
been hugging, to the intense disgust of
himself and the amusement of the onlook-
ers, who crowd round and offer their feli-
citations.

A bear hunt next engages Tenderfoot's
attention, and armed with rifle he sallies
forth. The cowboys, ever bent on fun at
the expense of the callow youth from the
city, yet with a view of breaking him in to
their Western ways, all of which he takes
with such perfect sang froid and good-
nature, have prepared two of their fellows
to act as bears, dressing them up in bear-
skins; they appear on the scene and await
results. Tenderfoot, finding no game at
hand, puts down his gun, seats himself on
a log, lights a cigarette and gives himself
up to day dreams, which are evidently of
a very pleasant nature. He is rudely awak-
ened therefrom by the bears advancing and
giving him a friendly hug, from which he
escapes with difficulty and flees the place;
the cowboys remove the bear-skins and fol-
low him.

The tales' of the cowboys about the red-
skins do not daunt Tenderfoot's courage,
and he goes into the woods unarmed, to
show his superiority and disbelief in their
stories. The cowboys follow at a distance,
expecting to see some fun, and they are
not mistaken, for, coming to a thicket in
the brushwood, Tenderfoot is surrounded
by redskins, who pounce upon him un-
awares, bear him to the ground, overpower
him and bind his arms and legs. They next
tie him to a tree, setting faggot at his feet,
and proceed to fire them, to the consterna-
tion of their captive, who makes the woods
ring with his cries of distress. The girl
hears his cries and summoning the cow-
boys, hasten to rescue him from the hands
of the redskins, whom they scatter, and
stamp out the fire, while the girl, seizing a
bowie knife from the girdle of a cowboy,
releases Tenderfoot and hurries him from
the scene of such nerve-racking experi-
ences. The redskins return, take off their
disguises and stand transformed into cow-
boys once more, and enjoy a hearty laugh
at the antics of Tenderfoot. But this state
of affairs is not to* last always, and the
time arrives when Tenderfoot is able to
become more than a match for them. One
day a group of , cowboys are playing a
game of poker and Tenderfoot with the
girl saunter by. They challenge him to a
game, fully believing he will still be an
easy mark for them. The girl also urges
him to play, herself being the stake if he
wins. With this inducement he joins the
game and at once, proves he is a master
hand at it. The money at stake is doubled
and redoubled, Tenderfoot winning. As a
final shot he stakes his whole, the cowboys
call a bluff, but Tenderfoot wins by su-
perior play, and finding the cowboys in-
clined to protest, draws his revolver and
drives them from the game. Scooping up
his winnings, he also calls the girl, who,
nothing loath, acknowledges she is won,
and seals the compact with a kiss.

SCENE V. The Dream.— There is im-
mediately projected upon the screen a cross-
section of the English Channel at Dover
and Calais, such as engineers use in draw-
ing plans of tunnels. Between the two
towns there is the ■ water, and below are
shown the various strata of rock and clay
formation quite true to scale. The surface
of the water is choppy, and constantly agi-
tated in a most natural manner. Fish and.
submarines move back and forth; boats and
steamers ply along above, while in the air,
balloons, airships, aeroplanes, and flying-
machines arc constantly appearing.

SCENE VI. Calais and Dover.— Upon
the cliffs on either side of the Channel,
King Edward and President Fallieres ap-
pear, exaggerated in size. They bow and
smile, and stretch forth their hands in the
act of shaking, but the distance is too great
for their hands to reach across the sea.
They continue their pantomime, and finally
one arm of each is seen to abnormally
lengthen out until their arms are locked
in a hearty grasp. Their hands release their
grasp and their arms ♦esume their normal
size.

SCENE VII. The Rulers at Work.—
Each ruler then seizes an enormous cork-
screw, plants the point in the earth, and
begins to bore. This sort of work is too
hard for hands unaccustomed to toil, and
they soon desist from their labors.

SCENE VIII. France and England.—
Two workmen immediately relieve the rul-
ers by grabbing the corkscrews. They ex-
ecute their work vigorously.

SCENE IX. The Tunnel; English Side.
— The scene becomes dim for a moment,
and then we are shown a cross section of
the ground under the Channel with the
tunnel borers at work. The English half
is almost completed. There are the plates
all riveted into place. Some sand-hogs are
drilling their last holes prior to the junc-
tion of the tube with that of the French
side. Water is leaking here and there
through rifts in the rock, while laborers
are piling up into small cars broken pieces
of stone and dirt At the top of the scene
one may descry the bottom of the Channel
strewn with wrecks among which fish are
leisurely swimming about

SCENE X. Visit of the King.— In order
that the end of the excavations for the
tunnel may be celebrated in a manner com-
mensurate with the vastness and difficulty
of the undertaking, the King, followed by
his ministers, guards, and attendants, enters
in robes of state. He is given an enormous
pick with which to dig up the last dirt to
be excavated. The pick is too big for htm
to wield, and he falls backward. His Maj-
esty is raised, and is presented with a small
silver hammer, which he uses in a bur-
lesque way. The ceremonies over, a bar-

rel of Scotch whiskey is rolled in, deco-
rated with English and French flags. All
imbibe and smile graciously.

SCENE XI. The French Side of the
Tunnel. — This view is similar to that of
the English side.

SCENE XIL The Electric Drills.—
Huge drills are seen in motion. The
cranks, wheels, and pistons are thoroughly
realistic.

SCENE XIIL Visit of the President.—
All is bustle. Drills in motion, workmen
rushing hither and thither, water dripping
from the soil above; a vivid picture is this
scene. Presently the tunnel is cleared, and
President Fallieres enters, followed by the'
engineers and bosses of the under t a kin g.
He compliments everybody, and then his
valet comes forward with a dress-suit case.
The President takes out of it some decora-
tions and confers them upon all present
There is one too many. Not knowing, what
to do with this, he pins it upon the coat
of his valet, a tall, awkward, and very
humorous servant The President's best
vintage is wheeled in; and after refresh-
ments, all go away.

SCENE XIV. The Point of Junction.—
The next view shows the thin partition of
rock which separates both sides of the tun-
nel. Men are busy on both the English
and the French bores. They put in their
final charges of dynamite and set them off.

SCENE XV. The Explosion.— After
the smoke has cleared away, the French
and English workmen look through the
hole made by the blast A junction has at
last been effected.

SCENE XVL Enthusiasm!— The ardu-
ous task is about done All enter into gen-
eral merriment Dancing, drinking, and con-
gratulations are in order.

SCENE XVII. The First Train.— This
view shows the tunnel completed. Pres-
ently a. train moves slowly through -from
the French side to the English. It bears
President Fallieres and other important
personages to England. The train moves
without a hitch. Everybody is excited;
even the fish in the water above seem to
know what is going on below.

SCENE XVIII. The Train at Dover.—
As the train pulls into the station, digni-
taries and many sightseers are present to
do honor to the, occasion. After a brief
stay, all the passengers again go on board.
With hearty shouts of joy, the crowd hails
the train as it continues its journey to
London.

SCENE XIX. Charing Cross Station,
London. — This view shows the entrance to
the Charing Cross Station at London.
Royal guards are posted on either side of
the doorway. The crowd here is large,
for the coming of the presidential train
from France direct has been widely her-
alded.

SCENE XX. The Royal Cortege.—
President Fallieres alights. Immediately
King Edward, with mantle of state, at-
tended by state functionaries, advances to
meet his guest The two rulers embrace
heartily and then depart arm in arm. Lesser
personages follow in the order of prece-
dence

SCENE XXI. The Salvation Army.—
Among the retinue is a body of delegates
of female members of the Salvation Army.
Some are fat; some are old. They go
through some ludicrous military manoeu-
vres as they close up the rear of the pro-
cession.

SCENE XXn. Th€ Outrider Troude
and Lord Mayor's Coachman. — After the
bootblacks and the rabble have gone out
of the scene, two coachmen, one from each

suite, lock arms and follow after their ex.
alted bosses with as much pomposity »
the rulers themselves.

SCENE XXIII. The End of the Dream.
— Once more a cross section of the no*
famous tunnel is shown. Lo, two trains
are seen approaching one another from op-
posite directions. An exciting episode is
bound to follow.

SCENE. XXIV. Collision!— Right in the
middle of the tunnel, with water overhead
and the main land some miles away, the
two trains loaded with passengers, and
rushing ahead at a terrific speed, come to-
gether.

SCENE XXV. The Catastrophe.— Tk
locomotives are smashed to pieces, steam
escapes in all directions, the wounded and
dead are scattered among the fragments
of the cars. But their agony is not for
long. The force of the collision drove the
engines with such power against the sides
of the tunnel that the plates are broken.
The water from above comes pouring in
and completely fills the tunnel.

SCENE XXVI. The Awakening.-Tbt
scene is changed to that in which King
Edward and President Fallieres retired for
the night We behold them sleeping in
bed. Suddenly the frame holding the lin-
ing of the canopy falls, one corner of which
hits King Edward on the nose and quickly
awakens him. Then we see the posts of
President Fallieres' bed topple over and
bury him with hangings.

SCENE XXVII. Exchange of Impres-
sions. — President Fallieres is rescued by
his valet He visits the adjoining room
occupied by the Kin? and there the two
relate their dreams. While they are both
still in their dressing-gowns, a servant an-
nounces a gentleman who is exceeding!?
anxious to see the President

SCENE XXVin. The Engineer toith
the Plan of the Tunnel. — It is the engineer
who has with him his drawings for the
projected tunnel. As he insists upon being
admitted, the President orders him to be
shown in.

SCENE XXIX. Get Out!— The latter
immediately unrolls a large chart and at the
sight of it the rulers forcibly eject him, for
they have already had enough of tunnd
between England and France.

SCENE XXX. Breakfast is in Order.-
The engineer, terrified at the uncordiality
of his reception, flees through the rooms
of the palace to the door to the street The
King and the President prepare for break-
fast
