THE KiNETOPHONH.


Ar. Edison 10 Now Esperimentisg -
Lifs-sise Figures.
The kaleidoscope IL the name decided
upon by Thomas A. Edison for his la
test continuance. 1t IL a combination
Of the well known microscope and
photograph, and It gives sound as we'll
a. action. The new machine resembles
the kaleidoscope closely, with the addi-
ton Of rubber tubes and a pieces by
means Of which the voices Of the sub
1ects shown may be heard. The mat
ter OF combining the two machines
was, according to Mr.. Edison, very
simple. the only obstacle being to get
them to work In perfect accord. That
Is, the kaleidoscope and photograph had
to be started at exactly the same time
or the action and sound would not
come In together. The machine in It's
present state Is small, and the pic
lures produced are only the ordinary
small ones Of the kaleidoscope. The
problem that Mr.. Edison has now set
out to solve is the production Of life
sized figures, and he says he will get
the machine in working order in three
months. His idea is to throw the life
sized pictures Of the kaleidoscope upon
sheets by means of the stereopticon,
and to produce the sounds through
trumpets attached to the photograph.
In experimenting for the production Of
life-sized pictures many obstacles have
been encountered. The machine re-
Quires a larger film and a more power
full light. and the pictures produced
must be flawless. In the small ma
chimes slight flaws are not noticeable,
but when these pictures are magniaed
500 times to make them life-size, the
deviation Of a hairs breath will amount
to an inch when shown on the paper.
The slightest waver will spoil the pic
ture. Mr.. Edison ia enthusiastic over
the kinetophone. and he says he will
be able to produce grand opera with 1t.
besides many other things. I'm fact"

phone 10 without limit"

THE BUNco MEMS TRUST.

How Imprlsoned Criminals Secure Money
to Escape the Law.
It IL often a matter of speculation
where the professional crook OF the
higher class gets his financial aid when
picked up. by the police in the city in
which he chances to be plying his vo-
cation. As a general thing when a
well-known crook ia arrested he has
no money and apparently not a friend
in the city, yet he always manages to
get the best legal talent obtainable and
he ia granted every privilege that the
lavish expenditure Of money can obtain
for him. Police Inspector Byrnes Of
New York has discovered the secret.
According to this eminent authority,
crooks with a record for big and dar-
Ing Jobs In which big sums are involv-
cd belong to q fraternal order known as

an emergency fund of $3.50, 600. The
order 10 maintained by each member
turning into the fund 8 per cent Of his
stealings. This money IL used to aid
any member Of the trust to escape the
law. He 10 provided with money to
employ an attorney. or a dozen Of them

ment. Hailing signs and passwords, as

The Andamanitcs preserve their fire by

Since the Andamanites have come in

seeded this method of preserving fire b.

Moreover, according to the latest accounts
from Otto Ludcrs of these savares. great

withdraw themselves into the woods more
and more at the approach of the Euro

Their weapons are spears, bows, and ar

Their hatchets and axes. formerly made
of stone, are now made of iron, and are
