ABOUT THEBIOÜRAPH MACHINE THAT PRODUCES TME MOVING PICTURES Great Future for Them in Education — borne of the U«ue to Ma; Be Put — How the Which They Film» A re Made. There is a great future fur muring picture« In education. To the insular child wbat more impressive method of Information aa to what a warship ia like in all Its majesty than to abow him one in motion photography ? Tbe chil dren of the Ceutral State« will be abowu waves daahlug high upon the strand, or rolling in gentle billows on tbe bathing beach where children are at play. There are city children, too, who can be shown harvesting and bay ing scenes In the great West; cows, horses, and all animals, wild and tame. And fur both rural and urban young sters tbe mutoocope will display the Indian, tbe Couamau, the Zulu—all races of men aud their manners and customs. To the geography class tbe mutuHCOpe will display tbe cape«, riv ers, cities, bays, towns and historic buildings that heretofore have been but names to the book-dazed scholar. He will be shown tbe Muir glacier in Its mighty disintegration. Vesuvius In eruption, and Niagara's resistless flood It wlU take tbe scholar up tbe Danube or down the Mississippi, or show him the wondrous panoramas of tandon. New York. I'arls, Bombay.and Canton life To the history class tbe rnuto- scope will show the great personage» of to-day, as they live and move aud have their being What more vital sug gestion of tbe war with Spain than the two views of tbe Sjianlsb warship VI»- caja—one showing her at anchor in New York harbor, her captain, in bitter Jest, training bls cannou on tbe city; tbe other a battered wreck upon the beach of Santiago a few weeks later? Life-motion pictures are made with one type of camera aud projected by two kinds of machines. Tbe moving- picture camera Is arranged so that, w ben turned by a crank, either by band or bjr an electric motor, the sensitised film passes behind tbe lens at a rate of 320 feet per minute. But, to make each picture, this film must come to a dead stop for one seventeenth part of a sec ond. during which time tbe shutter of the camera opens and closes. Then in less than the hundredth part of a sec ond the film moves down about two Inches, and the process is repeated un til the picture la finished. From one- half a minute to a minute Is sufficient time to take ordinary scenes in life-mo tion. Five hundred or six hundred men marching eight abreast can pasa at a walk a given point in one minute; and so, in taking life-motion photographs of a parade, tbe operator of the camera turns on bis machine only at tbe mo ment Important personages are passing lectures three minutes in length or longer are often taken, but experience has shown that long pictures on the bio graph grow tiresome. A developed blograpb film Is simply a ribbon of semi transparent celluloid three Inches wide, on which appears a succession of pictures. These pictures are two Inches high and cover the film to its edges, while between each pic ture there la a margin of one-slxteeutb of an Inch. A picture-film of a scene that baa lasted a minute will be three Inches wide and 330 feet long. On It wil. tie l.wsi sejuirate photographs of tbe subject. Tbe camera makes exposure« at the rate of thirty distinct »nap shots per second, aud tbe blograpb or muto »cope (by wblcb names the two forms of reproducing apparatus are distin guished* exhibit them to spectators at tbe »ante rate of speed.
