A MECHANICAL EYE-LATEsT INVENTION
BY EDISON.
Edison has invented new wonder
to be called the "Kinetograph." 1t
is a combination machine in which
the photograph and u photographic
camera work together. 1t will repro
duce not only sound, but also a pic
ture of what passes before it. Mr..
Edison claims it will reproduce an
opera and the performers so that
their presence on the stage will be
depicted. Every muscle of their
faces will be seen to work and their
movements will all be true to nature.
A process of successive photo
graphing is to be kept up for thirty
minutes without pause, so that 2760
photographs are taken in minute,
or $4,000 every half-hour. After
ward the Photographic sips will be
developed, replaced in the machine,
and a projecting lens will be substi-
tuted for the photograph lens. Then
the reproducing part of the phono-
graph will be adjusted and by means
of calcium light the whole effect
can be reproduced life-size on white
curtain in front Of the audience.
The original scene will appear to
their eyes as true as life. They will see
the singers before them, and all their
movements and gestures will appear,
ont otherwise you will see and hear
the opera as at the theater. The
machine is III fact mechanical eye.
