The remarkable eye which can
do this is "a telephoto cine cam

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

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

Taking pictures of such mag

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."

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

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.

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.
