Greater interest will be shown aboad

who heard them that the conferences

had been made. Such an arrange

Indianapolis, June 13.--A feature Of
the political gossip that is now being
heard on all sides is so utterly differ
ent from that which was being hand
ed around a week ago, that il is more
than entertaining. 1t is all summed
up in the prediction that the so-called
violent opposition to the Taft pro-
gram at Chicago will fade away and
that the Indiana delegation will lead
in movement. to be organized not
later than Monday. which will favor
the wiping out of all opposition, the
acceptance of the national committees
decisions on all contests and the prac-
tically unanimous nomination of the
big war secretary.
This was the tenor of an interview
given out by a member of Indiana's
delegation before the departure for
Chicago He did not wish to stand
for his utterances. but he asserted that
the Taft managers needmsnly show
that the thing is cinched for their IA
vorite to make sure of a general
scramble to get on the band wagon and
shout for Taft. Back of this move is
a very sensible motive. IL is argued
that the field" supporters have shout
ed so loudly that the country, which is
looking on. imagines that the republic
can party is to be split from end to
end Ii Taft is chosen. This, even the
Fairbank cohorts say is erroneous.
They declare that the scrimmage at
Chicago has been magnified a thousand
times; that there is no intention of car
rying the battle beyond the committee
and that the party will show a solid
front for Taft when he is selected for
the highest place in the party's gift
AS a matter of fact, il is being fully
appreciated that the opposition to him
must quiet down. and aYready the par
ty leaders are rounding up the radicals
and advising them to be more cautious,
both in noise and action. Even the
Fairbanks organs over the state are
! frankly admitting that IL is all over but
the shouting, and things have settled
down to what appears to be sort of
restrained second-themotion roar for
Taft.
/ And out of IL all. despite all former
utterances TO the contrary, has come a
boom for Fairbanks for denomination
to the vice presidency. 1t is noticeable
/ that there has been a sudden stoppage
/ in the flat assertions that it is first
| place or nothing for Indiana's favor
/ ite, and some of those who are going
/ to Chicago have been frank enough to
say that Fairbanks will be induced to
! take second place. If II can be shown
/ to him that it would be for the party's
good. So it need surprise nobody IL
the vice president should decide that
1 he feels compelled to permit the use OF
! his name for a denomination. OF
course. it would be a little humiliating.
perhaps, to be beaten for both first and
second places. but the Indiana boost
ers think there is little fear OF such
a happening. and are ready for the
game.

Didn't Like Hoodoo.

There was an amusing incident FRI
day. when Col. Fred Gemmer, the gov
ernors private secretary. started out
to make arrangements for sleeping car
space for Gov Hanly and himself. both
of whom left for the convention city
Friday night At the ticket office he
was offered berths number II and 13.
The secretary scratched his head for
a moment, then objected. He didn't
like the hoodoo number. He said SO
plainly. and the ticket agent got busy
just as soon as Gemmer told him that
he wanted one of the berths for the
governor and the other for himself.
1t was finally fixed up so that the two
were to occupy berths II and II. and
Gemmer gave a sigh of relief The
two got away on the midnighf train,
the governor carrying his precious
speech nominating Fairbanks.
Wouldn't 1t be surprising If that
speech should never be delivered?
This suggestion sounds odd. but a bet
was offered in indianapolis more than
two weeks ago, and was not taken.
either, to the effect that the name Of
Fairbanks would never be formally
presented to the convention for the
presidential nomination. This wager
would be IN line with the harmony pro-
gram that is now uppermost in every
mind. but IL seems hardly likely that
the desire TO get into the Taft band
wagon will be carried SO far as to shut
off the prepared speeches. all of which
are to be veritable scdeeehers- There
are those who would be tickled to see
the oratorical governor robbed of his
opportunity to shine. however ruth
lessly 1t might be done. but this must

A STRANGE CASE.

About three weeks ago lad named
Butler was brought from Garrison by
his father and placed in the hospital.
He was unconscious from being
thrown from a horse, and has remain
ed in this condition ever since, the
doctors feeding him through the nose.
He has apparently been asleep and
lay quietly on the bed seemingly with
out pain. A blood clot on the brain
has been the cause of this long I'M
consciousness, and he had been treat
ed for this. Saturday he ate some
thing through the mouth for the first
time since being brought to the hos
pital, and that night showed signs OF
returning consciousness, and it is ex-
pected that he will have regained his
senses by today.

LITERARY NOTES
THE ORIGIN OF. THE MOVING PIC
PICTURE. .g$y*

THE ORIGIN OF. THE MOVING PIC
#s.. PICTURE. /,
Although it is true that the NOV.
ing-picture machines are of decidedly
modern invention, the idea. or. dis
covery, upon which motion photo
graphy is based is older than Chris
tianity. In the year 1870 B. G. the
Egyptian scientist, Ptolemus ascer-
tanned that the human eye had the
property Of retaining light, or OBJ
ject, for some time after it had van
ished from Its radius. To prove this
by practical demonstration, he traced
a color line on a section OF q piece
Of glass, or glazed surface, after
which he was able to show that, by
revolving the glass with great rapid
ty, he could make 1t appear that the
Comparatively short color line ex-
tended completely around it. ..5
While the Importance Of this dis
coyery is now recognized, it was the
middle of the eighteenth century be-
fore further Investigations were made
along these lines, and practically the
end Of the nineteenth century was
reached before the experiments
brought any very tangible results. It
is true that, during this period, sew
eral toys, like the "Wonderdrum,' .
were devised to provide parlor tests
Of the duration Of objective impress
sion upon the eye, but it was not un-
til 1877 that the celebrated photo
grapher, sMuybridge, succeeded in ac-
tually taking a moving picture. This
was a series Of views in which the
motions of a running horse were con-
secutively shown.
AS there was no camera that could
be used for this purpose, Muybridge
placed twenty-four cameras side by
side at the edge Of "a racing track,
parallel with wall facing the sun.
Each camera was provided with a
rapid snapshot shutter, operated by
electricity, these being kept open by
means Of thin silk thread which
crossed the track and was fastened
to the opposite wall. Thus, when the
horse came down the ..strech,' = he
broke the. threads successfully, and
as he snapped the shutters In rapid
succession the effect was that OF a
continuous picture. rs.
Revolutionary as this experiment
was from a scientific point Of view,
the practicable results were anything
but satisfactory. AS the highly sen.
sitized plate had not then been in
vented, the photographs lacked that
sharp detail that is SO necessary to
successful enlargement, or reproduce
ton, but when, in 1883, the dry plate
appeared, much OF this difficulty was
obviated and motion photography
ceased to be the dream of theorists
