Edison's Latest.

From the laboratory OF the wizard
OF Monlo Park there is coming an In
vention which out-Edisons Edison. IL
is the marriage OF the photograph
with the camera--the union in one In
strument OF sound and sight.
With II the opera can DO carried
into tho parlor md tho artists can not
only be heard but seen. The popular
preacher, the eminent public speaker
with it can all be brought to tho home.
Tho new wonder will DO called the
"Kinetograph," n strange sounding
title TO the ear today, but destined
perhaps soon to become ms familiar us
locomotive or telephone, both strange
words In their infancy.
MIR. Edison has been ut work on this
newest conception Of his genius for
three years. Now he knows its base
principle and all that remains to be
done is to perfect the details.
The new invention is Il combination
machine. in which the monograph
and the Photographic camera work
together. 1t will produce not only
sound, but show picture OF what
passes before it. Not mere instan-
taneous impression OF objects, but a
continuous representation OF them for
considerable space Of time. Mr..
Edison claims that II will produce nm
opera.
Tho monograph will render the
music and tho pi Geographic apparatus
will produce the performers, so that
their presence on the stage will be
depicted; every muscle OF their faces
will be seen to work; their strides,
movements-all will DO true TO nature
In other words the camera will give
II continuous picture OF u singer or
the stage for, say, thirty minutes, all
his motions and gestures, while III
ally, the monograph, will RECORD
every note he tutors.
To reproduce this result II wa,
necessary for the inventor to be able
to take series OF instantaneous
photographs, following each OH In
quick succession, that no lapse oil
tmc can be detected between the i'm.
preston recorded and the series oil
| pictures, In effect but one contlnuou,
| picture.
And this Edison has succeeded In
doing.
Operated by an electric motor, hi'
camera will take forty-slS impressions
in each second Of time, and in thi'
way the impressions are recorded 81
rapidly that the motions become re
solved into pure motion, instead OF l
series of jerks. The impressions arr
recorded on long roll OF paper
fastened to spindle, which passet
over n Photographic lens.
This is how Mr. Edison himself dc
scribes the wonder:
"The machine starts, moves, un
closes, stops, takes n photograph
closes, starts, uncloscs, stops, takes
another, and so on, and forty-six o
these are recorded every second"
And this process can be kept up 70
thirty minutes without pause. ST
2,76O photographs can be taken oacl
minute and 62,s0O every half hour
Thus the full representation Of say IA
opera, the movement on the stage an
music can be recorded on this move

A CHAPTER OF "REMINISCENCES
OF WAR TIMES.


b NV SSAcu ~ = ANO8'1s
One OF the bloodest battles ionght
on Georgia soil during the war was
that OF Resaca. Among the many
patriotic youths who took arms in de-
Tense Of Southern Independence was
the lS-year old son Of Jethro jackson,
OF Griffin, Ga. and the brave boy met
his death at Resaca. He was dearly
beloved by his comrades. and they
gave him better burial than usually
falls to the lot OF those who die upon
tho field OF battle. With rough
boards taken from the bridge near by
they made him rude coffin and
,onderly and lovingly placed him
under the sod.
1t was some time In the spring OF
1866 that Mr.. Jethro jackson went to
Rcsaca to look for the grave OF his
son. He wished to find the remains,
and to take them to Griffin and inter
them In the family burying ground.
The comrades who laid young jack
son to rest gave the father descrip-
tion Of the spot where they had buried
him, telling him about the rude pine
coffin made from the boards taken from
the bridge. After many days OF tire
less search Mr.. jackson failed TO To-
cate his sons grave, and returned to
his home in Griffin.
A few nights after his return be
dreamed that his son cane to him and
pointed out the spot where he was bur.
led. The dream was like vision.
He saw his son standing beside his
bed and heard him say;
Father, / am buried under q
mound which was thrown up by the
Yankees after was killed. You will
know the mound when you see 1t by
tho pokeberry bushes growing upor
ii. Go and take me up and carry m,
home TO mother"
So strong an impression did thi.
dream make upon Mr.. jackson tina
he returned ut once to Resaca, taking
with him one of the comrades who
bud buried his sou. The mound WA
found just as described In the dream
and the pokebcrries were growing
upon it. An excavation was mad,
and few feet below the earth ,

A committee Of fifteen membcN Of
the Illinois Legislature, three from

House, visited the Soldiers Homo at
Quincy recently. The committee was
appointed to inspect the Home, lie

visitor expressed himself as being
highly pleased with the institution.

During the past Winter over 1000
veterans have found good homes ut
the institution, and rs soon as nc
commodations are provided there will
BIO 1000 more. In the Fall OF 1887,
when Maj. Rowland took charge OF
the Homo, there were but eight cot.
tages, each OF which accommodated
fifty men. Since that time nine more
cottages have been built, each one
capable OF holding eighty mon. Be.
sides these there is new hospital,
several important additions to tho
cookhouse, and other buildings have

recommend an appropriation TO:
