ORIGIN OF MOVING PICTURES.
Result Of Experiment to Show Both

Result Of Experiment to Show Both
sides Of a Coin at Once.
The beginning of moving pictures
was in this wise: Sir John Herschel
after dinner in 1926 asked his friend
Charles Babbage how he would show
both sides of shilling at once. Bah
bage replied by taking shilling from
his pocket and holding it to mirror.
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 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..
Fitton 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 revolved on
a silk thread the bird appeared to
be in the cage. This model showed
the persistence of vision upon which
all moving pictures depend for their
effect. The eye retains the image of
the object seen for fraction of a sec.
ond after the object has been removed.
This model was called the thaumo-
trope.
Next came the zoetrope, or wheel OF
life. A cylinder was perforated with
series of slots and within the cylin.
der was placed band of drawings of
dancing men. On the apparatus being
slowly rotated the figures seen through
the slots appeared to be in motion
The first systematic photographs
taken at regular intervals of men and
animals were made by Muybridge in
1877.

water in the mouth and bend the head
as far back as possible.
Now he must protrude the tongue
from the mouth (the tip of the tongue
may be grasped with haAdkerchtef)
and in this posture with protruling
tongue he must try to- swallow the
water. The physician should control
the patients vain efforts-for it is i'm
possible to swallow under such condi-
tions.
"The patient has the sensation as IL
he actually had swallowed the water.
Now he must start to gargle, to ex-
hale air slowly. One can see plainly
the bubbling of the fluid i'm the. wide
open pharynx.
After gargling thus for awhile the
patient is ordered to- close the mouth
and quickly throw head and body for

through the choanoe and nostrils,
washing the throat and nose from be-
hind and expelling all the accumula-
lions that had been present, with
great force.
This should be repeated several
times, as the first trial is not always
successful and satisfactory. 1t is an
act that must be learned

because of the fact that there are

Mrs. W. Beebe Will Accompany ef Husband III Studying
Little Known Regions Of British Guiana.

:
For the purpose of studying at close
range the practically unknown bird
and animal life which exists in the
dense forests of tropical South Ameri-
"a, G. William Beebe, curator of birds
in the Bronx Geological Gardens, New
York, and his wife, who is also a
naturalist and who has accompanied
her husband ON previous excursions
into little known lands, have started
on a new expedition which it is ex-
pected will result in most important
contributions to existing scientific
knowledge.
The thick jungle in the forest of
British Guiana, which comparatively
few white men have penetrated, will
be the objective of the two travellers.
To reach this Mr. and Mrs. Beebe will
be obliged to ascend for a considerable
distance the Essequibo river, one of
the largest and at the same time one
of the least known of the large rivers
| of Northern South America.
With the exception of one English
man, who went up the river in 1910,
| shooting right and left and collecting
the skins of the strange animals he
met with there. no scientist has ever
really explored the Essequibo, and it's
upper branches particularly, which
TEEN with wonderful tropical life of all
kinds, are virtually unknown. 1t is to
learn something of these marvels of
nature, as exemplified in the life of the
birds, animals. and reptiles OF these
dense South American forest sections,
that Mr.. and Mrs. Beebe are about to
undertake their journey.
Taking passage aboard the steam
| ship Korona. of the Quebec line, they
will go directly to Georgetown, the
principal city of British Guiana, where
they will secure the permission Of the
governor to go into the interior. Their
next step will be to engage negro
cook and four South American Indian
guides familiar with the Essequibo
Jungle. These Indians are numerous in
British Guiana and. although most of
them are in more or less of wild
state. and use poisoned arrows, they
ire perfectly friendly to 9hite men
and make very acceptable guides.
/ The ascent Of the Essequibo will be
made by the two naturalists and ex.
plored in sort of canoe-like house or
tent boat. This they have already
practically engaged. 1t will be about
five feet wide and from twenty to
twenty-five feet in length. At night
Mr.. and Mrs. Beebe will sleep aboard
this narrow craft, while their cook and
the Indians will make themselves com.
Portable ashore in hammocks swung
from the trees. The little expedition
will also be equipped with small ca.
noe for padding up into creeks and
other small streams.

Guiana was such, the forests approach
ing close to the settlements along the
coast, he added, that he believed he
would be able to find almost ii not
quite as great variety of bird and an
imal life few hundred miles up the
river as would be found nearer the
Essequibo's source
"Our object in making this trip into
the South American forest" said Mr..
Beebe, will be to study the birds and
animals in their living state in their
native environment. We may bring
home few live birds, but that will be
merely incidental to our main purpose,
which will be to study the habits of the
living things we shall find in this
wonderful tropical country.
Collecting has been done to death,
but comparatively little progress has
been made toward studying the life
and habits of the birds and other re
markable living things which exist in
this part of South America.
1--WE shall try to get what light we
can on such problems as those of why
certain birds have certain colorings
and why the toucans have big bills, all
of which has been question Of evolu-
ton"
Mr.. Beebe declared he does not con-
slider that he will be mourning any
thing worth speaking of in making his
expedition.
IF there was any danger, wou1dn' t
be very likely to take my wife with
me-" said he.
The two naturalists probably will
return to New York in about two
months.

Selling Flour in West Africa.

The method of doing business is to
sell the goods on credit to the women.
who are the principal traders of the
country, and who in turn resell it in
smaller quantities. For instance, the
woman trader will come along and
purchase one barrel Or ten barrels of
-four This will be taken to her hut,
where she will peddle out the. flour in
smaller quantities, her principal Gus
toners being the native bakers, who
are also women.
The principal foods Of the country
are native corn, sweet potatoes, yams,
plantains and bananas. 1t is through
the education Of the trader that these
West Africans are coming to- use and
appreciate commodities which are the
necessities of life in this country.
