Oriqin of Moving Pictures.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 The beginning of moving pictures was in this wise: Sir John Herschel after dinner in 1926 asked his friend Charles Babbage how he would snow both sides of a shilling at once. Bab- bage replied by taking shilling from his pocket and holding it before mir TOT.
 This did not satisfy Sir John, who set the shilling spinning upon the din ner 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 friend, Dr. Fitten, who immediately made work ing model.
 On one side of a disk was drawn a bird, on the other side an empty bird cage; when the card was reyolved on 8 silk thread the bird appeared to be in the cage. The model showed the persistence of vision upon which all moving pictures depend for their ef-

BAD ACCIDENT NEAR sPRINGvILLE,
Team and Wagon of Robert lube Goes
Over Embankment. Killing Horse.

On Tuesday last, one mile west of
Springville, an accident took place
which, while serious, might have been
more disastrous TO life and property.
The team and wagon of Robert Zube
went over an abrupt and rock embank-
ment, falling distance of about twenty
five feet. The wagon loaded with lum-
ber, slipped over the bank, carrying the
team with it, the horses alighting on
top of the load One animal died soon
after being released while the other
one was not injured The harness and
wagon were made useless by the acc
dent. Mr.. Zube was walking at the
time of the go-o~er and was doubtless
spared from death or serious injuries.
1t is reported that Mr.. Zube is asking
the town of Jefferson to reimburse him
for his loss.
