1t dawned on the company that they

There was ample time for the angry
judge to overtake the couple, provided
John Grant drove the nails Of the

hurry. Instead of doing so he laid
the shoe down and said that, as he

Nickel Theatre Dangers
from Explosion of the
Film.

The moving picture show haf
achieved popularity more rapidly
than any other new form of enter,
tainment ever did. This is true
the world over. The Edison fac
tory is turning out $50 machines a
day. The number of these ma
chimes In Ohio bsing large, they
const tute an important fire danger
because the film, which will ex-
plode at comparatively low tenn
perature, is exposed to electric
sparks and the heat from the light
which illumines it. Many of these
theatres are in old buildings where
rent is low and nearly all are in
the business district where conha-
grafton hazard is greatest, Two
or three such accidents occur each
week in the state and the fire loss
from them would be enormous but
for the fact that the chiefs of fire
departments backed by the fire
marshal have required that the
machines have fire proof surround
ings, This precaution will not
prevent the stampeding of the
audience when an explosion occurs
and the fire is usually beside the
only exit.
The illusion of animated mo-
tion in the moving picture depends
upon the fact that the impression
of light upon the eye last one sew
enth of second after the light is
shut out. In winking one does
not notice that sight is interfered
with because the impression on the
retina persists long enough to coy
er the time during which the eye
lid is down.
Necessary to the making of
film are theatre, actors, a camera
with a rapidly moving shutter and
a celluloid ribbon coated with the
composition used for making neg
atives. When the act to he repro
duced begins the ribbon moves be.
hind the lens and shutter flies
open often enough to make a pic
ture on each inch of the ribbon.
In the kinetoseope the ribbon is
moved in front of powerful light
with the same speed that 1t moved
in the camera. So, the time of
movement in the figures thrown
upon the screen is the same as that
of the living actors. The time
during which the eye retains an
impression is as long as the time
taken in changing one photograph
for the next. Everything to be
seen on the screen really happened
The Democrat-sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1906-1935, 1907-10-03
once.


Marcy, a Frenchman, first made
photographs on a movable film.
While at the Worlds Fair he
showed the process to Edison, who
seeing it's possibilities, devised the
! kinetoscope in which cellulold was
first used to carry the film.
Lnmere in France first produced
the device for throwing moving
pictures on a screen. He now en-
ploys 4, 900 persons in film making
The films for a performance cost
more than the machine, bnt they
are rented.
The celluloid strip on which the
photographs are made is IL inches
wide and one twO-hundredth of an
inch thick. If a whole show, us
nally subjects, is on one film, it's
length is one-fourth of a mile.
This substance is closely allied
to gun cotton and takes fire if
heated to 284 degrees T. So, if
any accident interferes with the
continuous movement of the film
it will ignite if the shutter in
front of the light is not instantly
dropped. The film is usually
moved by hand crank. In the
Ohio experience more films have
been ignited by sparks from badly
installed electrical applis noes
within the booth than from the
lamp,
The booth for the machine
should be metal lined and the film
should be nnwound from metal
box and simultaneously rewound
In another below and each should
have an automatic shut-off to close
ii when the film parts. In Eng
land the booth must be of iron
and the operator must be locked

increased in numbers so rapidly
that trained operators can not be
had.

Willis Wenham, son of the first select
man, who was in the midst of his
course at one of the big eastern uni
versities.
Selectman Wenham was another of
Judge Weayer's political opponents;
but though the judge never forgave
one who crossed his will, this was not
the reason for his opposing the match
between his daughter Nellie and the
selectman's son Willis. The Judge was
man of means, while Selectman
Wenham, though possessed of mod
crate competency, could leave but a
small sum at his demise to each of
his numerous family, Of which Willis
composed exactly one-thirteenth.
With young Wenham absent at col
lege, the judge was able to give his
undivided attention to the village
blacksmith. He was willing to bide

big, rawboned fellow of enormous
muscle, whose family had hailed from
Nova Scotia, had dared to oppose
Judge Weaver candidate for the legis-
lature. From the judges point of view
the worst feature of this presumptu-
GUS antagonism was its success. Judge
Weaver had been defeated by the mar
row margin of one vote, and bitterness
was ever thereafter to rankle in his
heart.
Another source of vexation for the
judge was the attachment which he
could not fail to see existed between
