4RAINn IN MOVING PICTURES.

Moving picture films are practically
spoiled long before their life of useful
ness should end because of the rain
which blots out the clearness. This in
jury comes from the continuous wind
ing and %rewindine of the film through
the machine at the rate of a foot a
second, forming static electricity. The
electricity attract all the particles of
dust and dirt floating in the atmosphere
to the films. and in pulling the film up
tight these particles scratch, hence the
"rain."-Popular Mechanics.
