Whether this movement effects It's ulti-

The truth Of this story may be diff
cult TO grasp. But the conditions de-
scribed surely exist-as surely as the sun
shines In Dixie, and as surely as water
melons are growing bigger every day
The people down here are wildly en-
thusiastic for Roosevelt; they admire
Taft in a far away and vague sort Of
fashion. but they want Roosevelt. l do
not believe a dozen well-pOsted men in
this State doubt that the President could

fore the people next November as a can

ORIGIN OF MOVING PICTURES
Result Of An Experiment to show
Both sides Of a Coin
at Once.

The beginning Of the moving pic
ture was in this wise: Sir John
Herschel after dinner in 1926 asked
his friend, Charles Babbage. how he
would show both sides of a shilling
at once. Babbage replied by taking
a shilling from his pocket and hold
ing it to a mirror.
This did not satisfy Sir John, who
set the shilling spinning upon the
table, at the same time pointing out
that if the eye is placed on a level
with the rotating coin both sides can
be seen at once. Babbage was SO
struck by the experiment that the
next day he described it to a friend,
Or. Fitton, who Immediately made a
working model.
On one side of q disk was drawn
a bird, on the other side an empty
bird cage. This model showed the
persistence of vision on which all mos
ing pictures depend for their effect.
iect seen for a fraction or a second at
ter the object has been removed. This
the object has been removed. This
model was called the thaunnotrope.
Next came the z~oetrope or wheel OF
life. A cylinder was perforated with
a series Of slots and within the cylin-
der was placed a band or drawings
of dancing men. On the apparatus
being slowly rotated the figures seen
through the slots appeared to be in
motion. The first systematic photo
graphs taken at regular intervals OF
men and animals we're made by Null
bridge, in 1877.

METHOD OF ROBBING cARSl
Ladders Used BY Thieves Who
Work While Train is
in Motion.

A novel, daring and dangerous
method Of stealing merchandise from
Baltimore and Ohio railroad freight
ears has just been discovered. For
some tine past the cars on fast
freights have been robbed Of .ner-
chandise. Investigation proved That
the cars were not being opened at any
of the freight stations or IN the yards,
and that frequently cars would leave
a station sealed and be found open
al the next freight station. This work
bafled the police and b. e O. De-
tectiye Roach Of this city together
with other officers was put on the
case. They followed the trains for
some time and several lays ago were
rewarded for their efforts by not only
ascertaining the method OF robbine
the cars. but they ALSO secured one
of the ladders with which the thieves
worked. They found that the cars
were entered and robbed while 0
ing between sta ions. The thieves
had small ladders, some of rope and
some Of wood lightly but strongly
constructed. They carried these on a
train and hid them, presumably
lumber or other material ship
ped on fiat cars or g%ondolas. When
out on the road, and after the train
men had gone into the engine and
caboose, the ladder was taken from
its hiding place. lowered over n
freight car door with a rope, and the
rope was secured to the running
board on top of the Ear One or more
of the thieves would go down the
ladder, snap off the seal, push open
the car, and, while one watched on
top to move and hide the ladder should
a trainman co1ne along. Those In the
car threw out such merchandise as
they desired at points where it would
be easily hidden and yet easy for them
to locate. At the next stop or while
the train was Stacking up its speed
the thieves would climb to the top /
the cars and then get off the tram
going back after their plumber. This
daring trick was successfully worked
and the officers ascertalned the meth
cd used and also secured one of the
ladders. The thieves, however. were
frightened and got way, but were
either unable or In their hurry for
got to take the ladder with them. OF
course the work of the thieves was
most readily done at night.
