Photography Eeats the TaI,irS.

The Indian mango" trick, in which
n plant is seen to grow ID from the
seed in few minutes, has been done
IN II new way by NJ. Michael Corday Of
the Ecole Polytechnique in France. II
Corday employs the well known cine
photograph, or apparatus for producing
living photograph" -that is to say,
photographic images endowed with
movement and apparently with life. A
rose plant is photographed at intervals
during its growth until the flower buds
and blooms. The photographs thus
taken are combined BY the cinemato-
graph and projected on screen. SO as
10 represent the development OF the
plant in short time. The number of
photographs taken in six months should
he equal to the number which the sen.
sitive band Of the cinematograph will
continue. Obviously the same plan will
be able to show the changing aspects of
the country during the seasons in one
progressive illusion, and we venture to
suggect that it might be employed with
advantage in illustrating various scien-
tific experiments and natural processes
