CINEMAToGRAPH IN SURGERY.
The Machine improved So as to Seem

The Machine Improved So as to Seem
to Throw Moving Objects in Relief.
The cinematograph, in addition 20
ito many other uses, is now adapted
To the clinic. The machine common
II displayed has. however. been inn
proved upon for the surgeon by the
addition of an ingenious appliance by
which Photographic projections seem
To be thrown upon the screen with the
relief that accompanies the same
scene in nature
This has been done in Paris. To
look at the picture of a surgeon per-
forming an operation as it is thrown
upon the screen it exhibits no special
popularity.
But when the same picture is exam
incd through n small apparatus con-
sisting of two aluminium plates with
some mechanism between apertures
for the eyes. there are seen plainly as
in life all the details of the operation.
The illusion is so perfect that the man
looking at it might almost imagine
himself present at the operation.
The value of the apparatus. which
is tho invention of DR.. Doyen.
French surgeon. is that it is possible
with it's aid to display before the eyes
OF almost any number of students typ
ical surgical operations in their min.
utest details and in the most life-like
aspect
Later it is expected to be able to af-
fix the apparatus TO opera glasses so
that it may be used in the same man
uer with ordinary cinematograph pic
lures. The invention has received
warm praise from several learned So
cieties in London before which it has
been exhibited New York Sun
