The perfection OF the art OF photography
seems to have been reached by the making
Of moving pictures" and Lunnierre, the
French scientist, has accomplished more
with his cinemstograph than any OF his
rivals have been able to do. "A very advanced
use OF moving pictures has recently been
made by DR.. Doyen, a French surgeon, who
made pictures of surgical operations in the
hospitals Of Paris and gave exhibitions IL
Illustrating his lectures at the Kiel university.
The results have opened the eyes Of the
scientific world to the possibilities of NOV
ing pictures as aids Of education. America
has for years been enjoying a series OF
pictures drawn from nature and reproducing
many Of the most stirring incidents in the
history of the development and early set
Element OF the country west of the Mis-
souri, river. These pictures, in addition to
being moving, are also living, and the actors
In them are the people who engaged in the
actual scenes they are daily presenting for
the delectation and education OF our people.
The inventor of the American pictures is
the eminent scout, hunter, warrior and pion-
eer, Colonel w. +. Cody buffalo Bid, who,
in his Wild West and Congress of Rough
Riders gives a series Of living, moving ptct-
ures such as never were seen before and
such as cannot be duplicated hereafter. The
circumstances and conditions as we'll as
the man will be things Of the past
in due course and any attempts in the same
line in the future can at the best be
theatric limitations Of that originality that
Is assured by the personality Of Colonel
Cody and his immediate confreres.
There Is as much educational value In
these series of pictures as there is in those
oxhihifod nj Kfal upiyatcity and this yalna
has been recognized in all parts of the world
by students of history, of anthropology and
Of ethnology. There are elements of
danger, as we'll as amusement about the
Wild West that make 1t as attractive as 1t
Is instructive and presents it's best features
to the matured mind in the same pleasing
manner as the blocks, etc., Of the kinder
garten do to the child mind.
In addition to the familiar educatlve
features of the past the Wild West has, this
season, brought to its aid scenes represent
ing the means by which our country has
added new territory to it's domain and the
battle of San Juan Hill presents in strong
contrast the methods of warfare as it is IT,
day, and those employed in driving the In
dian away from the precincts desired by
civilization. The people, too. that have re-
Gently been added to our citizenship are
represented in the anthropological exhibit
and Filipinos, Cubans, Porto Ricans and
Hawaiians have been added to the Indians,
Mexicans, cowboys, Gauchos, Czikos, Arabs,
Cossacks, Americans, Englishmen, Germans,
and others Of this cosmopolite aggregation.
There is no stop to the enterprise Of Buffalo
Bill in adding novel and valuable features
to his exhibition and this year will find 1t
in every respect superior to the exhibitions
given heretofore.
The grand street cavalcade and review OF
the Rough Riders will leave the exhibition
grounds, Twentieth and Paul streets, at $3.50
o'clock, Monday morning, September 1s.
Two exhibitions daily, rain or shine. 2 and
s p. m. The wonderful success which has
attended Colonel Cody's Congress Of Rough
Riders this season in their triumphal visit to
all the principal cities and towns in :he
Union, promises for the people of Omaha
the height of amusement Of a superb
character never surpassed.
