Thomas A. EdIson's chief exhibit at the
World's Fair will be his ncwly-.nventcd kim
etograph. II Ia rs simple IA 1t 10 wonderful.
1T consists of cabinet containing an cleo
trc motor and batteries for operating the
mechanism. This mechanism has two tasks
to perform. One Is TO pass q transparent
ribbon of film about an Inch and half wide
and from thirty to fifty feet In length through
the Held Of blnocular magnifying glass
placed In perpendicular position. On this
film are q series OF photographs. which were
taken at the rate of forly-slx second. Tho
pictures are close together and forty-six OF
them pass through the point OF view every
second. 1t is Obvious that II the series OF
photographs swept before the eyes ut u rate
OF speed which would show 2,T60 OF them
minute or lG5, GOO an hour, the effect would
be that of Il colored Ill m moving very rapidly
But the eyes do not sec the film, for over 1t
rotates q slotted disk, each slot showing
picture. The slots pass the point of view
forty-slx n second. In this way the vacant
space between the pictures are cut out and
tho clear-cut photographs only are seen.
Below the iilm Is an incandesccnt light
which illuninates the picture. The machine
for photographlng whatever the kaleidoscope
Is 10 reproduce is Mr.. Edison's adaptation of
the Photographic camera for that particular
purpose and Is remarkably flexible In its
range aud adjustments. Electrically opcrat-
ed shutters give for,y-slx exposures second
on n tnpe film which moves ut the proper
speed. After the long, ribbon-likc negative
Is developed the posltives are placed on the
microscopic film. The kinetograph proper
Is used In combination with stereoptlcon
which throws the liie-slzed picture on
frame.
The first perfected kaleidoscope which is
domestic kinetograph was flushed In the
Edison laboratory ut Orange, \. j., u few
weeks ago. Besides the Microscopes IN the
Worlds Fair 100 will be placed around the
city. The kinctograph will be displayed In
some hall In the business center. This feature
of the exhibit Is part Of the display OF the
phonograph company, which occupies AS
square feet In the southwest gallery OF the
electricity building.
