KOU A M f : Camera Angles' Camera Stops Golf Ball at Eight Miles NEW HIGH This million-dollar camera system, which photographs and records missiles in space, has "twin cannon" telescope lenses on 70mm movie cameras. Bedtime Story Stickytoes Flees From Black Snake By IRVING DESFOR or the Associated Press will show. Or reveal the name on a baseball in motion five miles away. The remarkable eye which can do this is "a telephoto cine cam era for high-precision photo coV' erage of a moving object in space and time," to quote the Air Force report of this achieve ment. Naturally any camera with such farsightedness wasn't de signed merely to cover sports events from afar. In fact, when ...i. -l ,u r :J i. ....( II. HUSO lu UI1C Jiliiliuil uui .r,rCS'f!nt.lrer?., pilars, it's more than a camera . . its a theodolite, a system for tracking missiles in space. The largest theodolite in the free world, capable of the golf and baseball stunt, has just been installed on the White Sands Missile Range at Holloman Air Force Base, N. M. It will pro duce detailed pictures of missiles up to altitudes of 100,000 feet from two 70mm movie cameras. Taking pictures of such mag nitude is part of the achieve mcnt. It is also important to aim the camera device, keep it on target and to record all-impor tant data every step of the way, President Eisenhower turned photo reporter on his nationwide television address a few weeks ago. He displayed a photograph of a naval air base taken from an altitude of 70,000 feet. The de tails of buildings, installations, runways and planes were remark ably clear. "The white lines in the park ing strips around the field," he pointed out, "are clearly discern ible from 13 miles up." Then he added, "Those lines are just six inches wide." a tribute to the noteworthy heights achieved by modern pho tographic science. Still another example came to my attention recently which is just as incredi ble. Imagine a camera which will photograph a golf ball in flight from a distance of eight miles so that the spots of the golf ball By THORNTON W. BURGESS , Stickytoes the Tree Toad was for just a wco instant paralyzed with fright. Ho was in a tree near Farmer Brown's house. A tree in which he had been living ever since he returned from the Smil ing Pool in the spring. In all the tlmo he had been living there ho had had nothing to give him a real fright. So he had grown to Icel that no real danger was pos sible in that tree. This is always a bad state of mind lo get into. Danger is always possible every where, so it is never wise to be careless at any time. Stickytoes had just found this out. He was staring into a pair of unwinking eyes, the last eyes in all the world he wanted to stare into. They were the eyes of Mr. Black Snake and in there was a hungry look. Stickytoes knew by tho look, which he saw in those staring, unwinking eyes, that Mr. Black Snake saw him. He knew then that it was useless and would be fatal to sit still. There was only one tning to no and (hat one thing was to put as much distance as posihlc between himself and Mr. Black Snake. The latter struck and Stickytoes jumped at the same instant. Stickytoes was just in time and no more. If he had been just a wee bit slower in jumping, he would have been too late. As it was he didn't see where he was jumping to. As It was, he caught hold of a twig with one hand and the sticky little fingers clung tightly. There he swayed, back and forth, hang ing by one hand, but those sticky fingers of his clung tightly. He pulled himself up until he could get hold of the twig with the other hand. Then he pulled him self up a little farther until he could get hold with his sticky toes. Finally he was safely on the main branch from which that little twig grew. Meanwhile Mr. Black Snake wasted no time. It was amazing lo see how easily and swiftly he moved about in that tree despite the fact that he had no hinds or feet, no claws with which to cling. Just the same he was quito as much at homo in that tree as he would have been on me ground. Almost as soon as Stickytoes had reached that branch Mr. Black Snake had reached it where it started out from the tree and was gliding out along it. Stickytoes didn't wait. He made another frantic leap and this time landed on a branch below. Mr. Black Snake never once lost sight of him He lowered himself swiftly to that branch and once more Sticktocs was forced to leap. This time, as when he made his first Jump, ho caught a twig by one hand. It was a very small twig and Stickytoes swung to and fro, to and fro. In tho most alarming manner. That is it would have been alarming to anyone watching him. It wasn't alarming to him for Stickytoes is a real littlo acrobat. He clung to that twig with one hand, then got hold of it with both hands. He glanced up at Mr. Black Snake and then Stickytoes let go. Right under him was a spread ing branch and he knew he couldn't miss it. He didn't. He landed on it and clung. Meanwhile Mr. Black Snake was following as fast as he could. Stickytoes made thrco flying leaps in succession. So fast that Mr. Black Snake lost sight of him. Then far out where the twigs were very slender, Stickytoes sat perfectly still, partly hidden by the leaves and gradually his coat turned green. Meanwhile Mr. Black Snake vainly hunted for him. (c) 1960 by Thornton W. Burgess The Roti Mark I (recording op tical tracking instrument, model optical tracking instrument, model 1) does this complete job. It is mounted on a modified naval anti-aircraft gun platform which rotates a full 360 degrees and also swings up and down. In operation, every point of the compass and degree of elevation is noted by a 35mm data-record ing camera. Targets are sighted through two astronomical telescopes with 116-inch apertures. These tele scopes range through a combined total of eight separate focal- length settings from 50 to 500 inches for continuous focus just like zoom lenses on hand-held movie cameras. The 70mm movie cameras, one for each telescope operate at variable speeds from 10 to 60 frames per second. To Your Good Health Smallpox Shot May Thwart Other Viruses By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. "Dear Dr. Molner: What is the cause of vesiculitis the disease in which 'cold sores' break out in different parts of the body? H.T." A vesicle is, in plain language, a small blister, a small cavity on tho skin containing fluid. Bleb is another word for such a blister Vesiculitis is, then, a matter of getting some of these blebs or vesicles infected. The obvious cause of getting them infect ed, is scratching them, at though that, of course, is not the only way in which an infection may establish itself. Still, scratch ing is the usual way, and it's the thought which presents itself to i doctor's mind whenever he sees such a problem. Either the patient scratches the blebs, because they itch, or the friction of clothing. etc., irritates them and perhaps lets some infection set in. Examples of vesicles or blebs are the little blisters of poison ivy. Or "cold sores" (technically, herpes simplex) which arise from a virus and may follow a severe cold or appear after a Jiigh fever. Shingles (or herpes zoster) is another similar affliction, and it is more likely to appear on or around the chest. From experience, we know that stomach upsets, allergies and ex tremo nervousness can cause such blebs to appear. Many times, if it becomes ap parent what is causing them, it is possible lo prevent a recur rence, or subdue any occurrence. Controlling the nerves, building up the general health, and the like arc the most useful methods. Specifically, daubing the blebs with alcohol is about as effective a method as exists it helps dry them up and, of course, help con trol or destroy any exterior bac teria which may be trying to find a lodging in any scratch around a belb. Strange as it may sound at first thought, a smallpox vaccination is sometimcshclpful If attacks of this trouble are in the habit of recurring. Remember, smallpox is a virus, and it seems that a vac cination against it sometimes helps thwart viruses of (appar ently) a similar nature even though they are not smallpox. Finally, lest anyone complain that "acute vesiculitis is some what different from the problem I've been discussing, I will say, yes. Specifically, "acute vesiculi tis is a disease in which ve sicles of the seminal tract are ir ritated. The patient's annoyance is considerable, but it is limited generally to the area above the groi... Since the advent of anti biotics, this trouble is usually treated readily and hence it has become rare. But the remark in your letter, H.T., speaks of the spots breaking out "on different parts of the body," so I think you'll find that my reply fits the case.
