A SILVER WEDDING GREETING.
Amid the golden glory
OF these bright October days,
With grateful hearts, we gather
To greet In love and praise.
This couple, who were welded
Full rs years It's now
And have not yet repented
Their holy marriage vow.
Sometimes, serenely flowing,
Life's river glided on;
Anon the stream was ruff1ed;
Anon the clouds were gone.
Yet, though just IS Summers
And rs Winters, too,
Our God hath richly blessed you,
His hand hath guided you.
Though dear ones OF Lies springtime
Have gone before to Him,
Yet many, still remaining,
Forbid your eyes to dim
With tears for dear ones falling
With whom you yet shall meet,
When all your earthly blessings
You change for joys most sweet.
Keep. then, in grateful gladness,
Your silver wedding day;
Although the bright Octobers
Too quickly pass away,
There comes q glorious season
Within the Summer land
Where every brow uplifted
Is by gentle breezes famed.
Wen Join their glad hosannas
OF heavenly peace and love
And keep the festal season
OF earth, with joys above,
When none will there be missing
To mar the pure delight
And your gold and diamond.wedding
win shine forever bright.
God spare you many seasons
And spare your children dear
To greet the fair Octobers,
As they shall oft appear
Though many year of blessing,
Till angel tongues shall tell
The life of welded gladness
That you have lived SO well.

THE WONDERFUL KINETO-
GRAPH.

Mr.. Edison's latest invention, the
kInetograpb,- the Greek words,
kjnetOS, movable, and graphe, writ.
ing, and meaning, therefore, an 1nstru
ment that writes or pictures motIop,-
combined with the phonograph. furn.
/ ishes a striking example of the marvel.
| ious and seemingly supernatural effect.
that can be produced by the ingenious
use of the simple powers and forces
that Dature has placed at our disposal.
Every one knows how a pbonograph
repeats the words and musical sounds
that have been pronounced or sung in
its presence. The kinetogrsph is just
as simple.
1t consists Of a Photographic Gamers
so erraDged that strip of geIatine,
which has been prepared so that photo.
graphs can be t4ken upon II, is made &c
pass over rollers behind a lens to which
is attached a shutter capable of making
forty-six successive exposures in one
second.
II then the lens is focus~d d upon @
stage containing company of actors il
produces upon til gelatine strip
series of photographs of the actors,
each successive picture being separated
by an interval of only one forty-sixth
OF a second.
Suppose that an actor has Just raised
his arm to make a gesture when the
kinetograCh is turned upon the stage ;
II the gesture occupies one second
forty-six photographs will be produced,
showing the actor arm In just so many
successive positions, aud the intervals
are so short that if the forty-six pict.
ures are then caused to pass In quick
succession before your eyes the a tor.
gesture will be reproduced as if the liv.
ing man were ac'ually swinging his
arm in your presence.
The rinciple employed is the same
as that of the optical toy cal ed the
Zoetro e.
At the same time a phonograph,
combined with the kinetograph, re.
cords the words spoken by the actors
wh lie they are making the motions that
have been photographed. 1t Is only
necessary then 70 cause the series OF
photographs to pass at a regulated
speed through magic lantern in order
to present upon a screen not only
picture of tie stage and the actors, but
actually to show the latter moving
about, smiling, frowning and gesticu.
lating, just as they did in the real play,
while at the same time the phonograph
repeats the words that thev uttered.
