GAME OF MOVING PICTURES
Small Apparatus Recently Patented
with Necessary Projecting Equip
ment-Great Development.

Moving pictures form the new
parlor game. A small apparatus meas
uring about three feet long by about
foot wide and deep, recently has
been patented together with the nee
essary projecting equipment The
image is thrown upon a ground glass
screen, giving a picture about IA
inches by 10, at one end of the ma
chine. If necessary, this screen can
be removed and the image projected
upon large white sheet, a piece of
white cardboard or some other opaque
medium to greater dimensions.
The projecting apparatus is strong
and simple. There is no danger of
igniting the film such as arises when
a powerful luminant is employed. All
that is necessary is an acetylene BIZ
cycle or other convenient form of
lamp. The film being placed some
distance from the light there is no
possibility of sufficient heat being
generated in focusing the light to
bring about combustion of the film.
The films are supplied on spools and
operate in the usual way. being wound
again on another spool after passing
before the lens. The picture thrown
upon the ground glass or other screen
is perfectly distinct and clear, and has
all the vivid animation of the large
machines.
This latest invention is ranged as
one of the greatest developments in
kinematography, as it insures moving
pictures for the home.

PUPILS THAT WERE VERY WISE
One Filled His Room with Hay and.
Straw, While Other Bought
Small Lamp ard Oil.

An old philosopher who had two pr
pills one day gave each a sum of
money, and told them to purchase
something with it, which should fill
the room where they did their studies
One pupil went out into the market
and bought a large quantity of hay
and straw, and the next morning he
invited his master to see his room,
which he had almost filed with the
results of his purchase.
All! very good, very good!'' ex--
claimed the philosopher; and now
turning to the other pupil, he said:
We'll. my friend, what have you.
bought?"
"A small lamp and some oil, which
will fill the room with light in the
dark evening hours. This will enable
us to continue our studies by night az.
well as by day, if we should so wish. -
replied the pupil
You have made a wise purchase, 80
said the philosopher.
A wise pupil, who profits by instruc.
ton, is the delight of the master.

The report made by one of the mer-
camille agencies, showing the bank
clearings of 1909. affords additional
and powerful testimony to the revival
of industry and general business
throughout the country. The total was
$165, JOB .966.306, which was gain Of
25.2 per cent. over 1908. when the i'm
provement over the panic conditions
generated in 1907 was well under way.
The figures also indicate an increase
of 80 per cent. over 1906. when bust
ness was at high tide. Analysis of the
returns shows that every section of
the United States reported increased
business. though some districts had a
larger percentage than others. This
was even a better condition than in
1906. for in that year the different sec
tons varied widely in the proportion
of business done. Taken all in ell.
this exhibit is one of the most salts
factory possible. containing as it does
proof not only of increases last year
but promise of continued activity and
profit this year.

This is great corn country. and
some great corn Is raised here. An
Indiana farmer has just received the
prize offered at the Omaha Corn expo
sition for the best bushel of grain in
the world. anc another farmer in the
same state gets the prize for the best
ear of corn. In each case the prize is
a silver trophy valued at $1,000. APP
parently the facts prove that Indiana
is the champion corn state in all Gre
alton. Two years ago the best ear of
corn at the Omaha exposition sold for
$3.50. This of course was for seed
purposes. The statement goes to show
that there is money in raising the best.

of agricultural products would be GER
tain to increase still further the

The last article to be described. and,
perhaps, the most useful of all, is the
settee at the foot of the bed. good

put to no better purpose than convert

trated and with the inside lined with pa
per, it makes a capital place for keeping
clothes. The lid of the box should be
we'll padded with f1ocks, and then Gov
cred with coarse canvas tackled on,
just inside the lid. the canvas is then
covered with the material that has
been chosen to drape the box. This
should be fastened in its place with an
ornamental braiding and brass-headed
nails run into the edge of the lid,
and the material should be cut large
enough to hang down in a short frill
all round, or the frill can be made
separately and fastened on after the
canvas has been covered.
To complete the settee, it is then
an easy matter to drape the sides of
the box, and the drapery should be
tackled on in pleats near the top and
just underneath the frill, which will
hide the lacks. Casters should be
screwed on underneath to enable. the
Settee to be moved about for cleaning
and other purposes.
