CHAPTER IH.
In very sci
entific phras
eology the
principle, by
virtue of
which the art
ists saw Occi
d e n t in mo
tion during
the shuffling
of the photo
graphs, was
which means
f
"visual persistency
tiint from tho time ha lifted a boo
until he had again planted
enough pictures were secured
him. while doing It, that when they
were seen one after another in rapid
succession, the very small variation
of the leg's position, as registered hy
each photograph and the one next
following, deluded the spectator into
believing he had seen the entire step
taken in one continuous and .unbrok
en movement.
The idea itself, Involved in the
nrinclnle. was not a new one. In
i .
fact, it 1ft much older than photog
raphy. Long before there was a
camera, or any of Its kindred de
vices, the possibilities of "visual per
sistency" were recognized and, In a
measure, employed through making
n series of drawings of some sub
ject, with a minute and gradual va
riation of position as they followed
each other In the series. The ani
mated cartoons of today are made In
the same general manner.
What the photographs, taken with
Muyhrldge's row of cameras, really
did was to bring together two old
principles and open up to them new
and vastly enlarged possibilities.
From this chance union of "visual
persistency" and photography was to
lie born the entire motion picture
Industry in all Its astounding im
mensity and multltudlnously diverse
ramifications.
As I have said, the first thing
necessary to gather any practical or
commercial possibilities from the
Idea that has beon uncovered to the
world, was to devise one camera that
would do the work of Muyhrldge's
many. The principle on which such
ft camera would have to be devel
oped was obvious. It was a ques
tion of exposing one plate, removing
It and petting another before the
lens In time for the next picture,
end before the subject had too far
Advanced from the position regis
tered In the preceding photograph.
When we see how simply the
tiling Is done today, we may be In
clined to wonder at the length of
time and the inestimable labor that
were necessary to Its perfection. As
ti matter of fact, it was the working
out of those devices which most pro
nouncedly contributed to the sim
plicity of motion picture photogra
phy now, that occasioned the long
research, experiments and courage
ous struggles of earlier explorers In
the field.
As the thing is now done, there is
a long, thin, ribbon-like coll of sens-
atlzed celluloid film, which unrolls,
to the turning of a crank, from one
pitch dark box or magizlne Into an
other, passing in transit before the
camera's lens, which closes and
shuts sixteen times each second
(provided, of course, the cameraman
turns his crank at regulatlonlspeed).
By an automatic arrangement this
celluloid film makes its trip from
the "unexposed' magazine Into the
"exposed" magazine in intermittent
but almost Imperceptible jerks. Af
ter each jerk there is the briefest
kind of stop just long enough to
allow the tiny section of celluloid
then iu front of the lens to be ex
posed. Then the shutter closes the
lens, the exposed section moves on
into the dark, and, almost more
quickly than thought, the lens is
again open to expose the tiny sec
tion of film Immediately to the pre
ceding section's rear. When the roll
of celluloid Is taken finally from the
"exposed" magazine and developed
in the dark room, the result is a
strip of innumerable little photo
graphic negatives, one joining Imme
diately behind the other and running
the full length of the celluloid rib
bon. There are sixteen pictures to
each foot of this length and all six
teen have been taken in a second's
time.
In its more essential features, that
Is all there Is to it. Given the cellu
loid film, the lens and a few tools,
anyone, with the average American
boy's ingenuity, could put together
a camera that could make at least
passable shift at getting a picture in
motion.
But what would the motion pic
ture manufacturer of today do if
there were no celluloid film? Here
then looms up a big difficulty. It
was one of the many that confront
ed the pioneers that first began to
labor and experiment with the idea
engendered by Muyhrldge's photo
graphs. There was no celluloid
film; everything then known about
photography and the chemicals nec
essary to sensitizing plates made
such a thing seem absolutely impos
sible. The first manufacturer of mo
tion picture cameras had to rely on
heavy and unwieldly glass plates.

Hughes' Vision
Of America
If you kill or capture a wild duck
bearing an aluminum band around
one leg. Having a numoer on one
aide, and on the other a statement
requesting that the U. S. Department
of Agriculture or the Biological Sur
vey be notified, you are requested to
send this band at once to the Bureau
of Biological Survey, U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington, D.
C. This band, if accompanied by a
statement as to date, place and cir
cumstances under which the bird was
taken, will be of service to the Sur-

the routes of migration of the spe
cies. The bands are being attached j
to considerable numbers of wild
duck of several species which have J
been cured of the duck sickness prev
alent around the Great Salt Lake,
Utah, and there released. The de
partment is particularly anxious to
secure reports from these birds to
determine their complete recovery
from this malady, which has killed
hundreds of thousands of ducks in
Utah.
"I have a great vision, my fellow
citizen, of America for the future.
It is not an America torn , by disor
ders; it is not an America ruled now
by this force, now by that force; it is
not an America given over to civil
war; it Is not an America where pub
lic offico is merely ruled for advan
tage. It is an America efficient; it
Is an America prepared; it Is an
America maintaining the rights of
American people on the land and sea,
without fear or favor, throughout
the world; It Is an America that has
no secret understandings, no covert
intrigues; it is an America with no j
unstated purposes; It is an America !
standing four-squaro toward all na-
tlons, firm and prepared, intent on '
peace and demanding its just rights ,
be recognized as to lives, property
and commerce.
"The America that I see in the
future is an America that knows how
to manage Its great activities with
out being wasteful and extravagant.
It Is an America that knows how to
spend public moneys honestly as well
operations. It Is an America where
all the people abandon class antogo
nlsms though having their necessary
differences which they peaceably ad
just. It is an America which, having
no class antagonisms, feels knit to
gether in a splendid national unity,
in one great love of country, with
one unswerving loyalty transcending
all differences of race and creed. It
Is an America first and an America
efficient."
Sixty-seven state agricultural col
