Photographing a Bubble.

After running horses, jumping ath-
letes, flying cannon balls, flashes OF
lightning and the shifting spectral lines
of revolving double stars have been sue
cessfully photographed, the airy soap
bubble has furnished a stumbling block
that the scientific photographer has had
great difficulty IN surrounding. Lord
Rayleigh, Ill a lecture before the Royal
Institution of London, said that for
some time it had peel his ambition to
photograph a soap bubble in the act of
breaking
He anticipated great difficulty because
he knew the time occupied in the disap-
pearance of a breaking bubble must be
but a small fraction of a second.
Whoever has watched a brilliant soap
bubble burst knows how instantaneously
it vanishes. Lord Raylelgb thought it
might take one-twentieth of a second,
but by repeated experiments he found
that the time occupied in the disappear
ance of the irideScent film was not more
than one three-hundredth Of a second.
To catch and picture a vanishing film
between the instant of its breaking and
that of its complete extinction proved a
most difficult undertaking. but it was
accomplished
Some persons may think that it would
be equally difficult to photograph a
lightning fash. but it must be recollected
that lightning makes an intensely vivid
impression. while the soft reflection of a
o bubble Is e~vaueSCent, even III the
bright glare Of an electric spark.
