with views of the tramp standing up asleep to avoid the suspicion of po- hceman at the Battery in New York, the same tramp being hustled into a prison van, and again, actually in jail, all taken from real life.
 The complete illustration of story in this why long seemed formidable to be thought of in busy times, and when MT. Black began the actual worA of preparing such a picture play last April he found that the difficulties oi the thing did not diminish. First, he had to write a story in such form that monologue might be ftly Illustrated every fifty or sixty words. Then he had to cast his story with people who would in a particular sense Hook" their parts. In making the pictures fit the story he had the advantage, how. ever, of being able to change passages in the story when this was desirable of making the story for the pictures and throughout the work he was, ot course, helped by the fact that he was Gt once author, artist and stage man. ager.
 Having gotten his story in shape, and having planned out the succession of tableaux to be presented, Mr. Black began to look about for a competency to fill the cast of his picture play. The latter is to be called Miss Jerry" that being the name of his heroine. All through the spring and summer com, pany of actors has been posing before MT. Blacks camera at the studio of MT, Inr s,,R ' Il probably the most finely appointed pho tographic studio in the country. MT. Black has taken out two hundred and fifty negatives, and, as his story will occupy about an hour and twenty min. utes in the reading, this will represent three dissolving views a minute
 The company which has posed for the tableaux is composed for the most part of experienced dramatic people. The character of the heroine, Miss Geraldine Holbrook, or Miss Jerry," the daughter of the owner of the Pan- ther mine, has been taken by Miss Con- stance Arthur, which name is under stood to conceal the iden tity of very beautiful New York society girl with 6 penchant for acting. The parte of the hero, who is city editor Aa New York paper,--is-tHksn by MT Will. liam r. Courtenay, rising young actor of the same city. The villain of the story, mining sharp, but not a very villainous villain, after all, has been portrayed by MT. Ernest Hasta ings, who made a hit as tho Angel of Death" in the "Hannele" last winter! while "Pinlr," the Bowery cowboy, his wife, Grace De Mond, the "Rose of tho Roclsies," are taken by Mr. Henry White, and Miss Helena Chalmers. A striking face in ballroom scene early in the story is that of "Olivia Prattsby," character assumed by Miss Sarah Nc! Vickar, who created the part of Mrs Fetter in Frank Stockton's Squirrel Inn"
 MT. Black found that the arranging of the poses of his tableaux was GkA

Using BricIzs of Glass.

Experiments with glass building brick in Lyons, France, have gone far toward proving their usefulness in cer- tain directions. The bricks serve as double windows, giving protection against both cold and heat; they are good insuiators of humidity and noise, and they lend themselves readily to the decoration of the buildings, either by form or color. Many applications are foreseen. The bricks are heater than marble in meat markets, and especially adapted for bath halls. hot houses, hospitals, refrigerating cstab- lishments and buildings in which ab- sence of windows would be an advan- tage. hothouse of glass bricks is of about ordinary cost. saves fuel and re- siSts hail.

painting with people and objects, with the difference that tableau making for, the camera and with the camera has, peculiar technical difficulties of which, no one can be so fully aware as ono; who has tried to make @ picture play. i,
 In number of instances he photo-, graphed his characters out of doors, using the outlines and pavement of an everyday thoroughfare, for example,, as background. Naturally, this waA one of the most troublesome features of the undertaking, even to one as fa- miliar with the hand camera as he is, but the result has fully justified his labor. ksS2v.
 In the course of an hour and half, as have said, he will place nearly two hundred and fifty pictures on the screen, the change from one to another being accomplished with the dissoly- ing stereopticon, giving something sug- gesting action in the life-size figures.
 The feeling MT. Black has with re- gard to the quality of his pictures as representations of life Is that they must be realistic; that is to say, he did not wish or attempt to make them look like illustrations or like stage pictures, but like life itself as if the audience were looking through an opening in the very rooms and out upon the very streets shown in the course of the se- ries. In fact, he wanted to illustrate art with life, using artistic devices in the tableau. very sparingly, and al- ways thinking first of simple, natural effects.
 Dramatically speaking, this was not very easy thing to do, for in avoiding conventional picturcsqueness he placed himself under the necessity cf making the faces and simple groupings expl ess great deal.
 The results prove that his decision was fortunate in this respect at least,

ible enough in view of the way our peo- pie flock to readings by distinguished authors from their own works. Some one may suggest that our people flock to see the authors themselves. but this tempt The chief obstacle in the way of B phonograph novel Is, of course, the impossibility of skipping the dull parts. You have got to hear 1t clear through, or not at all, and so fancy the printed books will hold their own for long time to come.
 Returning to the idea of continuous picture of scenes and events, to be re. produced at will upon a screen in a darkened room, some attempts In this direction have been made possible by the experiments of Prof. Muybridge and Thomas A. Edison. By a succes. sion of instantaneous views following each other in great rapidity I have seen Prof. Muybridge make horses trot or birda fly across screen in a fairly natural manner, while the re. gently invented hnetograph presents even more ife-lilse pictures of persons or animals in motion.
 These inventions involve the pictur- ing of a few motions only, however. The problem which Mir. Alexander Black, literary editor of tho Brooklyn Times, and one of the leading photo graphic experts in the country, set himself some four or five years ago was quite another matter. It as nothing less than the complete Illustration of story to be presented with the stereopticon, while the story itself is being read by, the author or an- other h lecture entitled "Our- selves as Others See Us." delivered in number of cities during the year 1889 and later. Mir. Black first cxpcrimented with pictures from life to illustrate fc- titious narrative. brief narrative of the career of tramp was illustrated

picture play by the kinetograph method of multiplying views. He seemed quite staggered at the thought, but finally sat down and figured out that it would cost about four hundred thousand dol- lars to get play ready by that method, but he would not venture to estimate the cost of presentation. He said that the method would have to be greatly simplihed for such purpose. At the same time he seemed to think that his own method of giving picture play, though the only one now practicable, was but indicative of what may be done when photographs and light transmitters are brought into york; ing partnership. The tableaux of "Miss Jerry," are shown in black and eventually such views may be thrown upon the screen in natural colors- Present methods of coloring are not sufficiently naturalistlc to be desirablv used.
 MT. Black has explained his plan for a picture play to number of man. agers, actors, artists and authors, and these one and all have assured him that it is complete novelty, and have prophesied its success. A private rep resentation will be given in New York some time in September, to which a. number of distinguished people among authors, artists, and the dramatic pro! fession will be invited.
 The author of Miss Jerry' was born. I believe, in New York, of Scottish percentage. He began reporting for the Brooklyn Times" at the age of sixteen. Soon afterward he took a pedestrian tour through Europe, visiting England, Scotland, France, Switzerland, and Italy, walking the highways and camping with the gypsies when occa- sion offered. He contributed letters of travel to his paper, and some time after his return, in 1885, was made its liter ary editor and art critic. He has written extensively for the magazines on the subject of photography, and last fall published through Messrs. Houghton, Mifflin 6 Co.,, Photography Indoors and Out" book for amateurs, which has had considerable success. He has lectured a great deal on the re- lations of photography to the fine arts, and was for several years president of the photographic department of the Brooklyn institute of arts and sciences. He has contributed number of short stories to the magazines, Is the author of 1.-The Story of Ohio" in the Stories of the States" series, and is member and honorary librarian of the Authors club.

When Edward Bellamy published his fascinating picture of life in Boston in the year 20oo A. D., readers of "Loolc ing Backward" were impressed by his description of the music chamber with which every house was supposed to be supplied. Seating oneself in a com. fortable chair at any hour of the day or night, by turning the proper key vocal or instrumental music from sing. CTS or orchestras constantlyperformi at various halls would fill the room as if actually being played there. This effect involved only the use of the tele. phone. The idea of conveying images as well as sounds by wire had not then become familiar enough to the general public for use in popular novel Yet this was only seven years ago.
 Since 1887 the niclkel-in-a-slot phono- graphs have shown us the possibilities in the way of storing up music, songs,
Birmingham age-herald., 1894-09-09

recitations and the like to bee placed on t,.I,,n.; tap at any time regard ,sg to the that we may yet be able to store up light in a similar way, so that con- tinuous picture of a play long since acted or an opera performed by sing- : CTS long since dead may be shown upl on a screen while we hear the voices of the cast.
 M. Octave Uzanne, in the August Scribner's, has carried out the idea of the phonograph to an amusing conclu- sion in his skit entitled '"The End of Books" His idea that books will be abolished in favor of photograph tubes conveying their contents in the au4 thor's voice is clever enough, and plaus-

for he feels that whatever defects the pictures may have as such they are not conventional, or "set" in style. They are what those poor. old people offered to Henry James, painter-"the real thing"
 MT. Black has introduced some novel effects with the stereoptieon into Miss Jerry" which he is not quite ready to diVulge until his arrange ments for the presentation of the pict- ure plny in public are completed. The story itself has been written with a view to the dramatic effect as obtained by dissolving views and to the realistic illustration of the language of the story. As the views present pictures of all characters and scenes mem tioned, there Is very little description in the text, and as much dialogue as possible. The story is about 16,o00 words long, which Is the usual length of drama occupying two hours and half, but as there are no waits or delays in changing scenes, over an hour is saved In the time of presentation.
 The labor and expense of getting the company together for the two hundred and fifty views, in some of which over twenty people appear, has been very great. I asked Mr. Black what he thought it would cost to prepare

Little did we think years ago when Dr. Holloway, our great southern specialist, located in Birmingham aud modestly an- nounced through the columns of the Her. aid that he would treat only special class of diseases that he would ever achieve an international reputation.

He stands at the head "a pleasant gentleman, an able physician and is recognized as the leading author ity in the treatment of all private diseases. Birmingham may well be proud of him.

An interesting piece of translation is that of the Russian liturgy into the dialect of the Yakuts of northeastern Siberia, which has just sbeen ac- complished by some Russian scholars.
 The language of the Yaluts is so poor that it can only reckon a total of two hundred root words. They have no word for "lody" as distinguished from
